B.J. The Chicago Kid - His Pain ft. Kendrick Lamar [Prod. by Sounwave]

You know how I know that this is going to be a beautiful week? BJ The Chicago Kid has a new song. To make it even better, he linked up with Kendrick Lamar, who have done work on each other's projects for the past few years now.

Pineapple Now-Laters drops Valentine's Day and I can't wait to get cozy with it.  Check out the emotional song "His Pain" below, and let me know if you're just as excited for BJ's new project!

Schoolboy's Habits & Contradictions drops on iTunes at midnight! I repeat, HnC drops at midnight on iTunes!!!

You have no idea how excited I am for Habits & Contradictions. Schoolboy Q has been underrated for too long and I'm sure that this project will solidify his standing as one of the best new rappers out.  Check out "Groovline Pt. 1" featuring Dom Kennedy & Curren$y, the last leak from the album before it hits iTunes on midnight!

Schoolboy Q - Habits & Contradictions [PSA]

If I haven't hyped up Habits & Contradictions enough for you, check out Schoolboy Q's personal appeal below where he explains what type of impact the album should have on Hip Hop.  From the leaks we've already heard and from his track record, Ab Soul may have been right when he said HnC is better than Section.80.



JANUARY 14TH!!

ScHoolboy Q - NiggaHs Already Know [Prod. by Nez & Rio]

Habits & Contradictions is already on my list of top albums of 2011/2012 and it hasn't even dropped yet.  The songs that ScHoolboy's teased us with have been that good to me.  This is probably my least favorite leak from the Habits & Contradictions so far, but that's really saying something because it's still a pretty damn good song.

Check out "NiggaHs.Already.Know.Davers.Flow" below, and let me know what you think about the song by hitting me up on Facebook or Twitter!

Kendrick Lamar Explains His Evolution As An Artist With Beats TV [VIDEO]

Kendrick Lamar has proven to be an incredible individual through both his music, his concerts and in real life. In each interview, he sits down and you can immediately tell that he's being completely genuine. After releasing what I feel is the best album of the year, he can still humbly talk about the fact that he has a long way to go.

Watch below as he chilled out with Beats TV and spoke on Section.80 and his experimentation as K. Dot to discover the artist he sought out to become.



Album of the year? Any thoughts?

Everybody gets a free pass to hate every now and then, and Schoolboy Q's cashed his in on the Habits n Contradictions track "My Hatin' Joint," where he's spitting game to a woman who's got a no good n***a in her life.  With production from Mike Will Made It (who's been killin' the game lately), you can't help but be on Q's side on this one.
