Johnny Polygon - "Vacation Suicide"

Since I've been bumping Johnny Polygon's "my shit >" pretty heavy lately, I did some prying on his FB and realized I'm more than a few days late in hearing "Vacation Suicide." If you're late like me, stream + download below, and countdown to the release of his project Nothing on February 20th.

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.

[Video] Wale - "Never Never"

"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 - "Lately" (Prod. by T-Minus)

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.

Stream the T-Minus produced track below, and hit the comments with your thoughts on "Lonely" by the Dirty Money diva.

[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.

If you've yet to hear the Tamar's love ballad, catch the visuals below or hit the jump to watch her performance of "Love & War" on The Wendy Williams Show. Love & War is set to hit stores this March.

[Music Video] Wiz Khalifa - "100 Bottles"

With Wiz Khalifa's O.N.I.F.C. in stores and a new baby set to debut any minute now, the Taylor Gang captain's got a lot going on. Somehow he still managed to find time to shoot a short video for "100 Bottles," which lives on his highly downloaded mixtape Cabin Fever 2.

Stream + download the rest of Cabin Fever 2 after the jump...

[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.



In the meantime, Terrace's 3ChordFold is still in the works... get ready!

Shome - "Bourbon & Canal" (Prod. Wister Dice)

When I graduated college, I celebrated by hanging out with my family and then dipping off to get chocolate vanilla just plain wasted with my girls.

Honorably, New Orleans bred Shome hit the booth and kept his eyes on the prize while he celebrated his graduation from University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Check out "Bourbon & Canal" below, and be on the lookout for his EP The Balancing Act to hit the net next month.

Fabolous ft. Chris Brown - "Ready"

Fabolous hasn't been slow to drop mixtapes, but it's been a while since he's released a full length album. To kick off the promotion for his forthcoming effort Loso's Way II, he caters to the ladies with The Runners produced "Ready" featuring Chris Brown.

Just Blaze x Baauer - "Higher"

While my sister and I were doing some extreme mattress testing, this new collab from producers Just Blaze and Baauer was perfect theme music. Maybe because "Higher" seems to be perfect theme music for just about anything...

With Jay-Z serving as the main supplier of vocals, Blaze and Baauer take you through a nearly six minute journey through the blended genres of trap, dubstep and hip hop.

Listen to "Higher" below, which serves as a precursor to their upcoming Big League Tour, and hit the jump to see if they're coming through your city!
