Quick, who do you know that scored a 1600 on the SAT at the age of 14, graduated Harvard at the age of 19, and went on to be one of the most under-released, yet universally-watched-and-listened-to artists in the world?
Here’s a hint: You’ve probably watched his video blog (or one imitating it) and definitely heard [...]


Here is the self proclaimed “Codeine Feind” professing his love for the love of his life, and more importantly H-Town! I am definitely lovin’ all of the shout outs to H Town on this track…good look Wezzy!
Looks like the Auto Tune phenomenon is here to stay. Pour up a deuce for the Pimp and hit [...]


If you didn’t already know Bun B’s first solo project, after the passing of the Late Great Sweet James Jones, is dropping May 20th. Here is a snippet of the album. Full track listing after the jump.

Minimal R&B

We’ve also been talking about producers who should remain as producers rather than taking up singing or rapping. Personally I love minimal, simple beats. In a sense, the throwback style tracks are [...]


Touch the Sky

May 13th I’m going to the Kanye concert. For all the shit that people talk about the LV Don, you can’t help but admire the man’s passion. He is changing the game. Everything he does is ground breaking. I don’t care if you dislike dude’s speeches. I don’t care if you’re jealous of his swagger. [...]


Probably my favorite remix at the moment, kinda wish it was the official track…

He discusses the meaning/motivation behind the track here.
