SZA - "ICE.MOON"

Whenever I get the chance to go on about who and what I can't stop listening these days, I always mention SZA and her project See.SZA.Run.  With a voice that's airy yet full of range, a way with words that conveys her sometimes twisted thoughts in a way that it's for pure artistic release and not for shock value, the New York resident is definitely going to be someone everyone will know soon. The fact that she was bred in my second home of St. Louis, is only icing on the cake for me.

Already at work on her sophomore project S, SZA gave Gorilla Vs. Bear the green light to premiere the EP's Felix Snow & Patrick Lukens produced "ICE.MOON."

Big K.R.I.T. ft. Bun B - "Shine On"

Big K.R.I.T. and Bun B just joined forces on Jordan theme song "Check The Sign," and if they keep working like this, I'm gonna need them to consider a joint EP or something. UGK for life though, of course.

Meanwhile, Krizzle's King Remembered In Time is due out soon, and he recruits the legend Bun on the self-produced "Shine On."

[New Mixtape] Kris Kasanova - '24K'

Kris Kasanova spent over a year crafting his new project 24K, and the work he's put in on this tape definitely shows. Even if the promo cuts "Kasanova" and "Moshpit" weren't on the NY emcee's third release, it'd still be in the running for best tape of 2013.

Stream and download 24K below, which features Rocki Evans, SZA, Skeme, Flatbush Zombies, 10ille, and more.

[Video] Usher, Ludacris & Lil' Jon Perform At So So Def's Reunion Concert

Jermaine Dupri played a very important role in Usher's career, and the R&B vet paid homage to his mentor and producer as he joined JD on stage at the So So Def Reunion for over 20 minutes. To make things better for the sold out crowd, Ludacris and Lil Jon performed "Lovers & Friends," "Yeah," and "Welcome 2 Atlanta."

Frank Ocean - "Eyes Like Sky"

Frank Ocean is starting off 2013 with two Grammy Awards under his belt and about 11 songs crafted for his sophomore album.  While we wait to hear what Frank has in store with producers like Pharrell, Danger Mouse, and Malay, take a listen to the previously unreleased "Eyes Like Sky."

Though the track didn't make the cut for Channel Orange, "Eyes Like Sky" definitely deserved to see the light of day. Your girl's got puns.

[Video] Jay-Z & Young Jeezy Perform At So So Def's 20th Year Reunion Concert

I'm still slapping myself for not going to the So So Def 20th reunion concert because it's all the city's been talking about since Saturday.

Along with the impressive roster of So So Def artists who took the stage, JD had some trump cards in his hand as he brought out Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Jon and more. Watch below as Hov and Jermaine perform "Money Ain't A Thang" before Jay passes the mic to Young Jeezy.

[Music Video] Kendrick Lamar ft. Drake - "Poetic Justice"

"Poetic Justice" may be the most commercial/radio friendly track on good kid, m.A.A.d city, but leave it to Kendrick Lamar and his TDE family to take the record to a deeper level with powerful visuals. Watch the video below as Drake is ignorant to the tragedy that just hit his Club Paradise Tour peer.

As Bonobo prepares to release his fifth album The North Borders on April 1, he reveals "Heaven For The Sinner," his collaboration with the oh so diverse Erykah Badu.
