[Music Video] Jhené Aiko - "Mirrors"


Hopefully you were fortunate enough as me to catch Jhené Aiko's opening set on Nas & Lauryn Hill's Life Is Good/Black Rage tour. She was incredible.

The Artium/Def Jam songstress continues to show off her darker side with "Mirrors," the follow up to Souled Out's lead single "3:16 AM."

[Video] "86, A Day In The Life Of Rickie Jacobs"


Filmmaker JSN JHNSN shows us a day in the life of Rickie Jacobs as the Baltimore emcee shows us his city and spits some memorable lines from his latest, "86 Draft." His next project Songs From High School Kids set to drop at the top of 2013. For now, Live Epic.



Download "86 Draft" in full after the jump.

Omarion - "Care Package" [FreEP]


I'll be the first to admit that I've had a lot of laughs (especially this year) at the the expense of Maybach O. But I'm also not ashamed to admit that the guy's actually got an impressive catalogue of music behind him.

Omarion's recent status as a member of MMG seems to have been a great move and has resulted in the Self Made 2 favorite "M.I.A." and now his latest EP, Care Package, which introduces us to six new songs. Download after the jump.

Nas & Anthony Hamilton Perform "World's An Addiction" Live On Conan [VIDEO]


I saw Nas when the Life Is Good/Black Rage tour stopped through Atlanta, and his band Z was one of the best I'd seen. Instead of having their vocalist Eddie Cole (who is amazing by the way) provide the hook to "World's An Addiction," Nasir brought out the man himself to perform the track live on Conan. Watch below as Anthony Hamilton and The Don bring some harsh realities to our attention.

J. Cole - Louis Vuitton (Extended Version)


"Louis Vuitton" first surfaced on Fabolous' latest project The Soul Tape 2, but thankfully for us there's more to J. Cole's tale of the basic b***h.



J. Cole's sophomore album Born Sinner is set for release on January 2013. Stream the project's first single "Miss America" after the jump.

[Video] DMX Spreads Holiday Cheer With His Rendition of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer"



I'm not a complete Scrooge McDuck around the holidays, but I've got to admit that Christmas music makes me want to donate my ears to science by December 15th.

After watching this hilarious rendition of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" from from DMX, I'm singing a new tune. If this man can get so much joy from shouting out all of Santa's reindeer, why can't I?

Bust out the egg nog, mistletoe and Christmas cookies because it's holiday season! Why? Because X said so!

"And if I'm still local, then global's the main focus..."

With the help of Brooklyn emcee Kris Kasanova, Fayetteville, NC's finest Lotta remixes Final Fantasy's opening track "Gymnastics."


If you don't have the mixtape yet, I'll forgive you...eventually. I'm still playing "Dream" on repeat.
