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!

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13: R&B Leaders of the New School

I can't believe there are 13 of these now!

Hip Hop has changed dramatically over the years--almost everything is digital now and rappers can make music to anything because creativity seems endless. I welcome these changes with open arms and although there are a lot of sh*tty artists clogging the Internet, there are also incredible talents that can reach a large audience easier than ever before.

What few seem to notice is that the same movement is happening with R&B.  There are tons of amazing singers and songwriters that are participating in the progressive evolution of this genre that seems to be expanding just as quickly as rap.  I'd like to consider the standouts in R&B our "Leaders of the New School," although many who are just starting to gain major attention have been around in the industry for quite some time.

Check out a Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 13, a showcase of these R&B Leaders of the New School, which includes music from Miguel, Jhené Aiko, Teedra Moses, Frank Ocean, BJ The Chicago Kid, The Weeknd, and more!

New Music: Jay Rock x Kendrick Lamar x Yo Gotti x Waka Flocka

I'm slappin' snapbacks off again!!

I saw this link on a RT by BJ The Chicago Kid, and I'm glad.  I wish I had this song on my iPod for my road trip but I'm still gonna be playing this one in the Civic.  I like hearing artists like Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock work with artists like Yo Gotti and Waka Flocka--it unifies rap for me when it's done right.

I'm definitely gonna be doing my St. Louis club 2 step to this for weeks to come.  Listen/DL below.

Sorry for the delay in posts. Had to do it big for my Birthday! Great weekend!

If you love Music Soulchild, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, or Mario, chances are you will love BJ the Chicago Kid. Not because he sounds like them, but because he has been the pen behind the hits and the voice behind the hooks of some of my favorite songs.  While his songwriting abilities are amazing, his vocal talent is arguably the most impressive.  Check out his single "Fly Girl Get 'Em" and see what I mean.
