M.I.A. - Bad Girls [Music Video]

It's been quite a week for M.I.A., who came back in a major way with a brand new single, a feature and appearance on Madonna's new video, and now her own set of visuals. Tomorrow, she's even set to appear at the Super Bowl halftime show.

When I say this video is gangsta to the highest power, I mean it. The car stunts, the colors, the desert, the dancing. "Bad Girls" is officially my s**t now.

Brandon Hines - Yes You Are ft. Jermaine Dupri

So So Def's Brandon Hines has a track perfect for all the lovers on Valentine's Day. Check out the singer's new track "Yes You Are" below, which features the boss JD, and reminds me of the R&B from the 90's (in a good way). Hit up the comments with your thoughts on the single!


"Yes You Are" will be available on iTunes this V-Day.

Scolla - Take What's Mine ft. Rapper Big Pooh & Big Sant [Prod. by Coop]

Apparently I have some catching up to do because Detroit emcee Scolla has been dropping heat like this every week as part of his #ScollasWebTour weekly series.  While I get the other three tracks ready, listen to "Take What's Mine" featuring Rapper Big Pooh (NC Stand Up!) and Mississippi's Big Sant and hit up the comments with your thoughts!

Torch - Slowdown ft. Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, Gunplay & Young Breed (CDQ, No Tags)

It's a Maybach Music Group affair on this new track from Bronx emcee Torch. He brings that old school cypher sound back on the new banger "Slowdown," which features his brothers Meek Mill, Wale, Stalley, Gunplay & Young Breed.  Definitely adding this one into my next mix!

Updated: 2/4, 12:23 PM - The CDQ Version is finally here!

2 Chainz - I Got One [Music Video]

2 Chainz is giving us a class at The Real University on his music video to T.R.U. REALigion track "I Got One." This is one of the most quoted tracks from the mixtape, so it was only a matter of time.  Watch the visuals below, and peep cameos from Yo Gotti, CyHi The Prynce and more!



Meanwhile, why do I know the entire first verse? Probably because of this: 2 Chainz - I Got One Lyrics

D.O.P.E. - How It Look [Music Video]

Hell. It's the weekend. Turn up.

French Montana ft. Black Rob, Diddy & Rick Ross - Shot Caller x Whoa (A DJ Hourglass Remix)

So I've been learning to DJ for about 6 months now, and I finally made a mashup that I can post in confidence.  "Shot Caller" is easily one of the hottest songs out, and it's probably because it brings the old school Bad Boy feel back.  To really give it that "Take That, Take That" circa 1999 touch, check out what I did!



Feedback is appreciated!

Miguel - Adorn [Music Video]

It must be my birthday!


Miguel's debut album has had such a long life that I wasn't even expecting for him to be out of the lab with a new project this soon.  Check out the up close and personal music video from the eclectic singer below, and get ready for Art Dealer Chic: Vol. 1, which drops Feb. 27!

Reek Da Villian - Can't Get Enough (Remix) [Music Video]

The Conglomerate emcee Reek Da Villian's verse on his "Can't Get Enough" remix was pretty nice, so I understand why he took the boss route and made a music video out of it. Check out the Daniel Czernilofsky-directed visuals below!
