From J. Cole: "Rest in Peace to Michael Brown and to every young black man murdered in America, whether by the hands of white or black. I pray that one day the world will be filled with peace and rid of injustice. Only then will we all Be Free."

12 years ago 9,069,192
Here's Drake going for the Best Curator Award again. He has the real skill of adapting others' styles and does no different with Ontario singer PARTYNEXTDOOR, lacing him with the co-sign to preview this club-friendly electric syrup sound. It's all the rage in this slowed-down bouncy era. The OVO influence is strong in this one. Check the video after the jump.

Troy Ave on the HS87 beat bragging to some inferior rapper about turning down reality show offers. Ok. Harry Powder's in the building. Check the BSB video after the jump.

Remember the Nicki Minaj "Your Love" video? The one that recalled Kill Bill and had her dressed as a Japanese sword maiden? This is basically that video with Rita Ora in it as the co-femme fatale. Watch it after the jump.

12 years ago 1,034,946
Pour champagne all over the track, the vocals, the sentiment. Raise a glass to the right luxury rap, reminiscent of old Roc-A-Fella stuff with no hint of decadence. Jeezy, Game and Ross lighten up the mobster rich life by saluting it and its accessories. Check the single after the jump.
Video: Yo Gotti – “Errrbody”
12 years ago 780,021
Yo Gotti asks an important question: if everybody's doing it, what makes it special? This is probably his most meta track, calling into question most of hip hop's modern existence by comparing it to itself. Strangely, he uses suburban white kids copying urban style to make the point. Ominous much? Check the video after the jump.
Video: Joey Bada$$ – “Big Dusty”

Some great filters and effects on this 90s schizo-styled video premiere from Joey Bad. Method Man and Mr. Cheeks would be proud. Check out "Big Dusty" after the jump.
New Music: Ca$h Out – “Let’s Get It” Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Ty Dolla $ign
12 years ago 675,081
This mumbling club tune is the innovative use of voices to do something tried and true: inspire twerking. With the lewd lyrics dripping into these tingling beat you can almost ignore how vulgar the pictures are to sit back and feel the lap dance implied in it. Check it after the jump.
