New Music: Vado - You Could Lose Your Life

Don't let that smile fool ya!  Vado's here to remind you to be careful or "You Could Lose Your Life." I'm gonna take that in the figurative sense and say that he's on some Kendrick Lamar "Rigamortis" type s**t.  Slime Flu 2 is coming soon, and I can't wait to hear what Harlem's hottest has been working on!

Childish Gambino Performing "Bonfire" LIVE on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

With Camp hitting stores in less than two weeks on November 15, Childish Gambino has been on a promotional roll.  After releasing a very original music video for the lead single "Bonfire," Childish Gambino took to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to give a very dope performance along with a live band (not The Roots :-( ). Hopefully this impressive performance gained him more fans!

Stop Sleeping: Omen - Afraid of Heights [New Mixtape]

J. Cole isn't the only amazing Dreamvillain in the studio.  Chicago emcee and producer Omen has been perfecting his craft for years, and has assisted Cole on many of his tracks dating all the way back to The Warm Up.  When I tell you stop sleeping on Omen, I mean that.

Although Afraid of Heights was planned to drop on Halloween, Omen wanted to make sure that it was absolutely perfect and took his time with it.  That's what I like to see.  Download Afraid of Heights below, which includes "The Look of Lust" featuring Kendrick Lamar & Shalonda as well as "Numb" featuring Eric Roberson.
