DJ Khaled has hyped up his track "Take It To The Head," like no other, and finally the visuals to the Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne featured track are out.

Pharrell - i am OTHER [VIDEO]

Pharrell has been spreading is movement i am OTHER, but no one quite really knew what it was really about. He tries to explain the premise behind it in a recent promo video below, but all I got from it was be different, be you and subscribe to the YouTube channel. Good enough for me.

Ester Dean - Baby Making Love

Ester Dean kept the 80's R&B inspired "Baby Making Love" for herself, and I think the track fits her gritty vocal approach and makes a good case for making her interscope debut album. Look out for more to come from the songwriter soon!

DMX - The Weigh In [New Mixtape]

DMX plans to release his official comeback album Undisputed on June 26th, but he's giving us a prelude to the project with his new mixtape The Weigh In. Not gonna lie like I'm really feeling this one, but the Dr. Dre produced "Shit Don't Change" featuring Snoop Dogg is definitely worth checking out.

Is Azealia Banks Too Arrogant For A New Artist? (Jump Off TV Debate) [VIDEO]

There have been so many Azealia Banks posts that I have drafted then deleted because they had nothing to do with her music. The majority of the news that surrounds her has to do with some controversy, most of which she instigates herself on Twitter. Glad to see that I'm not the only one who's  sick of her immaturity, the Jump Off TV crew got together for another debate to discuss if she really has what it takes.
