New Music: Black Cobain "Save The Last Dance"

Black Cobain is slept on. There's no doubt about it.  The DMV native is a part of indie label The Board Administration whose close affiliation with Wale has allowed him to reach a larger audience.  I was introduced to him when he released Young Gifted & Black earlier this year, and I'd argue that he's better than his mentor.  

Black Cobain dropped the stand alone track "Save The Last Dance" yesterday via Twitter, and I'm feeling it. Listen/DL Below.

Late Pass: Hit the jump to stream/download Black Cobain's Young, Gifted & Black mixtape. You'll be happy you did.

Terius Nash (The-Dream)'s Free New Album 1977 is out now!

At midnight, The-Dream dropped his free album 1977 for the people.  I'm gonna look past the Watch The Throne-esque cover and check it out.  The man has consistently produced hits on his own and has made bangers and classics from some of my favorite artists.

CyHi The Prynce is "The Jack of All Trades

Hot off of the success from The Royal Flush 2, CyHi The Prynce is back with Jack of All Trades.  I'm still downloading the mixtape, but in the meantime I'm listening to the freestyle, "Feelin' It" which you can listen to below.  I'm confident that this mixtape will be full of clever punchlines and flows from my favorite rapper out of ATL.

New Music Video: STS - Cliche

Oh how I miss college parties. Watch the hilarious video for "Cliche," which is featured on STS's brand new The Illustrious LP.  I've gotta spread the Divine 9 love and point out cameo from the Krimson & Kream men of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. All that's missing are my DevaSTating Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. OO~OOP!



Be sure to go download The Illustrious LP.  Trust me, the album is incredible.  If you're feeling what STS has to offer, make sure you vote for him to be one of the artists showcased at the A3C festival.

Estelle: Break My Heart Remix ft/ Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss &Busta Rhymes (NEW MUSiC)

Just in time for Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio comes the banger of the summer.  I'm loving Estelle's "Break My Heart (Remix)" and I've only had the song for a few hours.  Featuring verses from both Jadakiss & Busta Rhymes and classic old school samples, I dare you to not nod your head and dance when you play this.

New Music Video: CJ Hilton is "So Fresh"

I've been trying to put everyone on this song since April and it's finally got a video!!
