Frank Ocean - PDA (Public Display Of Affection)

I'm convinced this new track from Frank Ocean is a track like those on his Lonny Breaux Collection--OLD. Because the lyrics and sound definitely aren't of the caliber of Nostalgia/Ultra and some of his new material. Posting it nevertheless.

Jon Connor - Cleaning Out My Closet

Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" is one of my favorite songs of all time, and Jon Connor's take is definitely going to get just as much play. I can completely understand everything he's rapping about because I feel myself there right now. His next addition to his Best In The World series, The People's Rapper LP, drops on Friday, April 13th!

Don Trip - Like Me [Music Video]

Sometimes I have to crank up Don Trip's "Like Me" because he snaps on this one with some real life statements, the hook especially. Consider these the latest visuals from the XXL Freshman's Guerrilla tape.

Check out the clip below, and make sure you pick up "The Recipe" on iTunes now!
