Childish Gambino Performing "Bonfire" LIVE on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

With Camp hitting stores in less than two weeks on November 15, Childish Gambino has been on a promotional roll.  After releasing a very original music video for the lead single "Bonfire," Childish Gambino took to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to give a very dope performance along with a live band (not The Roots :-( ). Hopefully this impressive performance gained him more fans!

Stop Sleeping: Omen - Afraid of Heights [New Mixtape]

J. Cole isn't the only amazing Dreamvillain in the studio.  Chicago emcee and producer Omen has been perfecting his craft for years, and has assisted Cole on many of his tracks dating all the way back to The Warm Up.  When I tell you stop sleeping on Omen, I mean that.

Although Afraid of Heights was planned to drop on Halloween, Omen wanted to make sure that it was absolutely perfect and took his time with it.  That's what I like to see.  Download Afraid of Heights below, which includes "The Look of Lust" featuring Kendrick Lamar & Shalonda as well as "Numb" featuring Eric Roberson.

New Music: Omen ft. Kendrick Lamar & Shalonda - The Look of Lust

Although Omen's Afraid of Heights will be dropping momentarily, I had to post this track individually. "The Look of Lust" is a smooth, sensual song featuring Kendrick Lamar and Shalonda, which explains how the deadly sin can take over the body and the mind.

Amber Rose Addresses Kanye West's Apology [VIDEO]

Yesterday, footage from Jay-Z & Kanye's Watch The Throne stop in Philly surfaced revealing Kanye West thanking Philly for Amber Rose. In a recent interview with XXL, she addressed 'Ye's comments and revealed that she did watch the video and that she forgives Kanye for being an "asshole" during their relationship.  It doesn't look like there's a reunion in the future, however, as Amber Rose seems extremely happy with Wiz Khalifa.
