Goodie Mob ft. Janelle Monae - "Special Education"


After premiering "Fight To Win" last year, Goodie Mob relaunches their album Age Against The Machine with their new single "Special Education." Hearing Cee-Lo, T-Mo, Khujo Goodie & Big Gipp all rhyming together takes me back, and I'm excited to cop the album when hits stores on June 18th.

Also lending her vocals to "Special Education" is Dungeon extended family and "Q.U.E.E.N." Janelle Monae.

[Video] CharlieRED Performs "Could Be" Live At SOB's


I'll tell anyone who's willing to listen about duo CharlieRED, but my word of mouth can't compare to the following they're growing from their live shows. On May 14, Rocki Evans and Cobaine Ivory took to New York City's SOBs to perform cuts from their Religion EP for BET's Music Matters showcase.

Watch a clip of CharlieRED performing "Could Be" below, and hit the jump to watch them cover Amy Winehouse's "Me And Mr. Jones" as a segue into Religion's "Norah Jones." KILLED IT.



Wale - "LoveHate Thing" ft. Sam Dew


While Wale's commercial smash "Bad" makes its way around the airwaves, Folarin dropped his new single showcasing the elements of his artistry that first put him on the map.

Stream "LoveHate Thing" featuring Roc Nation singer and "Lotus Flower Bomb" co-penner Sam Dew below, and click HERE to preorder Wale's third album The Gifted set to hit stores on June 25. Artwork and tracklisting after the jump.


[Music Video] Stacy Barthe ft. Rick Ross - "Hell Yeah"


Stacy Barthe's P.S. I Love You EP is immaculate, and I'm glad that Island Def Jam is investing in the beautiful songwriter's talent. Watch below as the John Legend protégé, Nouveau Noir and Surf Club member is joined by Rick Ross in the visuals to the worldly "Hell Yeah."



Ahhhh.... like a breath of fresh air... d^_^b

Black Hippy - "U.O.E.N.O." (Remix) + G.K.M.C. Tour Dates


This summer when all four brothers of Black Hippy will be touring together, they'll have another track to add to their set list. While Rocko's "U.O.E.N.O." has been redone about 5,842 times, Kendrick LamarScHoolboy QAb-Soul, and Jay Rock's version should be the remix to end all UOENO remixes.


Now... who's coming with me to The Tabernacle?

Jhené Aiko - "Comfort Inn Ending" (Prod. by No. I.D.)


For all my fellow Jhené Aiko fans dying to hear what her Artium/Def Jam debut Soul(ed) Out will offer, the beautiful songwriter gives us a bone with the 2 minute freestyle "Comfort Inn Ending."

Produced by her boss No I.D., Jhene vents about a recent relationship that went sour due to infidelity. I'm not one to speculate, but "CIE" may be about Compton rapper and Sailing Soul(s) collaborator H.O.P.E. Wright, who she publicly dated for a few years.

Although heartache may cause a few tears, thankfully, it can also create some great music. Thanks for sharing Ms. Aiko.

[Music Video] Elijah Blake ft. Common - "X.O.X."


Elijah Blake closed out 2012 with a spectacular EP in Bijoux 22. While I'm fondest of standouts like "Talk To Me" and "Vicky Secrets," I can understand why the Common featured "X.O.X." is turning into an international sensation. Check out the visuals to the No I.D. production below, and try to refrain from hitting your ex with sappy texts... Keep it G!
