CyHi The Prynce - "A-Town" (Remix) ft. 2 Chainz, Travis Porter & B.o.B [Prod. by Anthem]
Yeah, yeah. I know. The Falcons didn't pull out the W yesterday.
Regardless, one thing I've learned since moving down here is that everyone from the A are all graduates of the Lil Jon School of Rep Yo City University. At the top of his class is CyHi The Prynce who has been busy prepping his follow up to last summer's mixtape The Ivy League Club.
Check out his remix to the project's standout track "A-Town" (produced by my homie Anthem), which will live on his January 29th release, Ivy League: Kick Back. This remix includes a brand new verse from CyHi and a new feature from his G.O.O.D. brother 2 Chainz. Stream the track below via Def Jam, which also features guest spots from B.o.B and Travis Porter.

"Never Never" is definitely a deep cut from Wale's latest mixtape Folarin, and I'm definitely glad he gave this jazzy freestyle the visual treatment. Watch below as he switches up is flow and gives us something reminiscent of Hov back in '96...

Kalenna's been pretty heavy on her studio grind, and she's finally let one of the tracks out of the bag. On "Lonely," she may have a certain someone realizing they walked away from a pretty good thing as she continues to stunt on these hoes.

[Music Video] Tamar Braxton - "Love & War"
Tamar Braxton may ruffle a few feathers with her over the top sayings and tendency to tweet before she thinks, but one thing's been proven-- she has a great voice and she's capitalizing in all the right ways on the success that reality TV has brought her. "Love & War" sat comfortably at #1 on iTunes when it premiered, and she continues to ride with the title track as she debuted the music video earlier last week.

[Video] Terrace Martin - Making Of Kendrick Lamar's "Real" (Episode 1)
In a new mini series from APluzFilms, producer, emcee and instrumentalist Terrace Martin dissects his experience creating "Real" from good kid, m.A.A.d city. The song is definitely a favorite of mine, thanks to its lighthearted sound paired with a strong message.
A musical genius in his own right, Terrace gives a lot of credit to the mind of Kendrick Lamar who was not only responsible for his verses but for a lot of the melodies included in the production. Watch Part 1 of the interview below, and look for the next installment to hit the net next week.
