LUPE FIASCO - "AT WAR WITH LASERS" (VIDEO)


"At one point it wasn’t about Lasers, it was about yo, we want out," says Lupe Fiasco about his long standoff with Atlantic Records. Lupe had a completed project, and an eager fan base awaiting it, yet Atlantic Records did not want to release Lupe’s 3rd studio album, citing creative differences and corporate concerns. Lupe Fiasco’s fans took up the battle, staging protests and circulating online petitions for the album’s release. They got what they were after this fall, when Lupe Fiasco’s Lasers was given a March 2011 release date.

In this interview we talk to Lupe about his feelings during the holdout, as well as how this ordeal has affected his relationship with the music found on the new LP and his enthusiasm to promote it. We also talk about the impact of all the protests and demonstrations on future of the music business, and how he finds grounding and support in the Lasers Manifesto.
It's about damn time!! I've never understood how labels will hold back an artist from releasing material that will ultimately sell and make the label more money! Im just glad to see we finally have a release date for the new album. Hopefully Lupe can remove himself from a bad situation and continue on to bigger and better things.

RAHEEM DEVAUGHN - "SHE'S SINGLE" (VIDEO)


So Raheem recently released his video for "She's Single" and boy oh boy...do not hit the play button while you're at work. haha The track is a remix to Lil Wayne's "Single" and the video has been removed from just about every video hosting site out there. Don't expect to see this one on BET or MTV either. Anyway, let me stop with all the cautions and just let you watch the video. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the c-section.

KELLEE MAIZE - "HASTA ABAJO (ALL THE WAY DOWN)"


Every time I post a new Kellee Maize track I find that she garners numerous positive comments in the c-section. Her latest offering comes with a Reggaeton like sound which is pretty cool. Check out and let the wave of comments begin. Oh by the way since Kellee is a Pittsburgh representer, let me be the first to apologize for the beat down Baltimore is going to give the Steelers this evening. haha

THE WHITE PANDA - "ESCAPE DAY 'N NITE" (KID CUDI X TIESTO)


The White Panda has done it yet again. Taking 2 tracks you would have never mentioned in the same sentence and combined them to make one hell of a remake. This time the duo mashes up Cudder's "Day 'N Nite" with Tiesto's "Escape Me." The outcome? Genius. Check it out.

FRAGMENT DESIGN X NIKE DUNK HIGH – BLACK/PURPLE


My Ravens play tomorrow and in anticipation of a major beat down on the Steelers, these kicks immediately caught my eye. Black & Yellow..psshhh, Black & Purple is more like it! This isn't just any ol' Black & Purple Nike Dunk High, but one design by Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design. Whats dope about this shoe collection is each shoe is a color opposite of it’s partner. The left shoe has a Purple overlay with a Black leather base, while the right is the opposite. These kicks are set for a mid-December release which basically means get ready to buy these babies on eBay.

(Spotted @ FreshnessMag)

CLIPSE FEAT. PHARRELL & KENNA - "LIFE CHANGE" (VIDEO)

One of the most notable tracks off the Clipse most recent album, "Till The Casket Drops," now has a video. Not sure what took so long for this to submerge. Anyone wonder if we'll ever see another Clipse project? Pusha is skyrocketing on his own right now and I don't see any signs of dude slowing down. Well I have to go eat some breakfast so Ill let this simmer at the top for a few.

OFF-RIP FEAT. ROYCE DA 5'9, JOE BUDDEN & FRANCHIZE - "COCKY & ARROGANT" (VIDEO X MP3)


This track dropped over the Summer and now it gets the visual treatment. Not to write off the rest of Slaughterhouse, but I think it would be dope if Budden and Royce linked up for a joint project. Guess I gotta put that on my hip hop wish list.

New video from MGK off his mixtape "Lace Up." Can I be the first to say this track goes haardd! MGK is a beast on the mic. I need to hear more from this dude in the mainstream circuit.

T.I. FEAT. DRAKE - "POPPIN' BOTTLES"


So while T.I. is serving what will hopefully be his last stint in jail, we're going to keep the buzz going for his new album "No Mercy" which drops December 7th. This is the last track Im giving you for free off the album because I think the entire project is definitely worth buying. I also want to give a shout out to the producer of this track, T-Minus, for pimping it out to both T.I. and Wiz Khalifa. Nice work T-Minus...nice work.
