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!

Jhené Aiko Signs With Def Jam!!

Score 1 for the underground!! Jhené Aiko, one of my personal favorite artists out, has Sailed her Soul(s) to Def Jam for a deal with the No I.D., the head of the Cocaine 80s family. I'll have more info as it comes, but make sure you give her a shoutout on Twitter for the business move.

And for the diehard fans worried that she'll change, just listen to her music! Plus she's joining an incredible team of singer songwriters signed to Def Jam like The-Dream, James Fauntleroy & Frank Ocean so I feel like the sky's the limit for the Cali beauty.

Fellow Queen City representer (& fellow HUHS alum!)
