Spotlight: Jhené Aiko

Lately I've noticed the songstress Jhene Aiko has been getting shine, which I feel is much deserved...

'Blood on the Leaves' : Review of 'Yeezus'

Kanye really went down a new, maybe foreseen path for his sixth studio album. Intitled Yeezus, (which seems corny as fuck to me, I would have rathered Good Ass Job like it was supposed to be) this album continues down a more darker and twisted path for Yeezy that was laid with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Now maybe I'm a little biased, as he is one of my top 5 rappers, and in my eyes can almost do no wrong...

"Now It's Over"

I haven't really been posting due to school and these damn midterms, but just like one of my favorite up and coming new artist Chief Keef, who was freed two days ago, I'm back ! With that being, Sosa is FINALLY free* and dropping Bang 2 scheduled to be out April 1st. Me personally, I'm so fuckin' excited for this mixtape. I've been getting by with my dose of ratchet get live music jamming old Sosa like Finally Rich, 3 Hunna Mixtape and Back From the Dead. But its time for something new..

Pat's Justice: Bringing Politics to Hip Hop

So who is Pat's justice ? Pat's Justice is a performance poet from Los Angeles. Self proclaimed "Artivist." He was well recognized in 2007 when he was invited to preform on HBO's def poetry jam when he was 19 years old. His piece, "innocent criminal" is a striking piece about the reality of his street life.This man is phenomenal. I first heard of him from my brother. I listened to a couple of tracks and was instantly hooked. He raps about real life struggle that many can relate to. He pinpoints the government for all the fuckery they put us through with no fear in his heart what so ever, if you enjoy REAL music check him out !

Throwback Trax: OnDaSpot Freestyle x K.Dot & Ab Soul

I'm not really the biggest fan of freestyles, one because they aren't really off the top anymore. Another reason is alot of rappers suck at it. Terribly. However, TDE's very own Soul brotha 1 + 1 and Kendrick Lamar went on OnDaSpot and fuckin crashed it. I didn't like the way the DJ kinda put Soulo on the spot though, and was just like "ohh Kendrick you can go in if you want to". But Soul went the fuckkkk in anyway and in my opinion definitely had the better freestyle, considering K.Dot's verse is from Talib Kwali's Push Thru joint (ft. Spitta.. check it out). Either way they both spazzed and showed why TDE is one hip hop group thats about to take over.. Check out the freestyle after the break.

Ab Soul - Nibiru

The black lipped bastard dropped his track from TDE Fam appreciation week. Titled Nibiru, Soul goes in about an end world theory about a planet the size of Jupiter believed by some astrologist to collide with Earth and end us all around December.
