New Music: Tyrese - Fireworkz (Prod. by David Banner) + Open Invitation Tracklisting

"Fireworkz" may be a leftover track from Tyrese's upcoming album Open Invitation (Tracklisting after the jump!), but I'm feeling it more than his other more uptempo singles.  Check out the David Banner produced track below!

New Music: Wale ft. Kid Cudi - Focused

Yesterday, we were teased with a measly snippet of Wale's collaboration with friend turned enemy turned friend again, Kid Cudi. Now, we've got the full version that will be on Ambition, which drops on November 1.

Here's what Wale had to say about the song:

It’s a testament to where I am lyrically, spiritually, all of that, because this song almost never happened. It feels like the record that ‘Is There Any Love’ was supposed to be. When they kept talking about me and Cudi in every magazine, this is the record I felt like they needed to hear — the one that everybody was going to get behind, and it was going to go top 40 and not be corny. This is like the best top 40 non-cheesy record that you’re ever going to hear in your life. That’s how I feel about it.

Tech N9ne - The Noose ft. ¡Mayday!

After living in Missouri for 4 years, I learned to appreciate Tech N9ne for his talent, insight, seniority, and his hustle as an independent artist.  He's getting ready to drop his thirteenth album Welcome To Strangeland on November 8th, which will feature collabs from his Strange Music roster including the Florida Hip Hop band, ¡Mayday!

This is the perfect time to process a song as thought provoking as "The Noose," so have at it!
