Kevin Cossom - Hook Vs. Bridge II [FreEP]

Kevin Cossom sold me last summer when I heard his By Any Means mixtape, and although I may have been late to take notice, I know great music when I hear it. While many may disagree, I believe that  R&B is in a great place right now thanks to the talent of singer-songwriters like Kevin Cossom, BJ The Chicago Kid, Miguel, Jhene, and more.

Stream Kevin's Hook Vs. Bridge II below and hear what this leader of the new school has to offer! Download after the jump!

L.E.P. Bogus Boys - Now Or Neva [Music Video]

L.E.P. Bogus Boys haven't run out of songs to make videos for yet???

Apparently not as they head to a group session for compulsive spenders and perform the title track to their mixtape Now Or Neva.

"Now Or Neva is the title of the mixtape, and either you're going to go hard and put it all out on the line now, or forever be content with where you are in life...You can go from having everything, and lose it all if you don't manager your wealth properly. We see millionaire ball players broke because of mismanagement." - L.E.P. Bogus Boys

With May 1st approaching closer and closer, B.o.B reveals more jewels from his sophomore album Strange Clouds. "So Hard To Breathe" sounds like a continuation of "Where Are You" as he rhymes about the overwhelming pressure he feels being in the spotlight.

Lotta - This Is Love (Prod. by J Pilot)

One of the reasons I'm happy I'm back in NC is to witness the growing presence of Hip Hop in the area. I had the pleasure of meeting Fayetteville bred emcee Lotta last week along with J Pilot, the producer of his new single "This Is Love," and I'm officially counting down until Final Fantasy drops on May 31st.



Hit up the comments with your thoughts on "This Is Love," and keep your eyes on the site for the music video this weekend!

J.A.E - Gone [Music Video]

NC may be in J.A.E's heart, but Flatbush, Brooklyn is the rapper's second home. Watch him and the rest of the YachTs crew light up, play dice, and eat chicken (with Mary J. Blige?) in the visuals to "Gone," the lead single to J.A.E's forthcoming project Fruition.
