Nas & Anthony Hamilton Perform "World's An Addiction" Live On Conan [VIDEO]

I saw Nas when the Life Is Good/Black Rage tour stopped through Atlanta, and his band Z was one of the best I'd seen. Instead of having their vocalist Eddie Cole (who is amazing by the way) provide the hook to "World's An Addiction," Nasir brought out the man himself to perform the track live on Conan. Watch below as Anthony Hamilton and The Don bring some harsh realities to our attention.

J. Cole - Louis Vuitton (Extended Version)

"Louis Vuitton" first surfaced on Fabolous' latest project The Soul Tape 2, but thankfully for us there's more to J. Cole's tale of the basic b***h.

J. Cole's sophomore album Born Sinner is set for release on January 2013. Stream the project's first single "Miss America" after the jump.

[Video] DMX Spreads Holiday Cheer With His Rendition of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"

I'm not a complete Scrooge McDuck around the holidays, but I've got to admit that Christmas music makes me want to donate my ears to science by December 15th.

After watching this hilarious rendition of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" from from DMX, I'm singing a new tune. If this man can get so much joy from shouting out all of Santa's reindeer, why can't I?

Bust out the egg nog, mistletoe and Christmas cookies because it's holiday season! Why? Because X said so!

Lotta ft. Kris Kasanova - "Gymnastics (Remix)"

"And if I'm still local, then global's the main focus..."

With the help of Brooklyn emcee Kris Kasanova, Fayetteville, NC's finest Lotta remixes Final Fantasy's opening track "Gymnastics."


If you don't have the mixtape yet, I'll forgive you...eventually. I'm still playing "Dream" on repeat.

Yasiin Bey - "I Don't Like"

While I would've added "Love Sosa" line to this myself, Yasiin dives a little deeper to his "These Are A Few Of My [Least] Favorite Things" list as he takes on Chief Keef's banger "I Don't Like" produced by Young Chop.


Expect Bey, formerly known as Mos Def to continue taking on the hits as he presents his Top 40 Underdog Series.

Ryshon Jones - "White Lines" [Music Video]

My favorite Philly emcee Ryshon Jones is taking his time preparing his new mixtape In Theory, but he's let another visual out of the Basqui vault while we wait patiently.

We shot this video back in May off of the Basqui tape,figure we show the people already. Directed by Last Rights x Elephants Purple the video is a metaphor of me killing a memory,but still trying to recapture the feeling of a love lost. The new project In Theory is on the way the new date will be announced soon after we release the next song from the project as well as the In Theory documentary. Thanks for the support - Ryshon
