Shome - "Enter Loot" (Interlude) [Prod. by Nesby Phips]

I was really feeling Shome earlier this year when he dropped "Bourbon & Canal," and to hold us over until his College Years compilation tape hits the net on May 29th, enjoy "Enter Loot."

In the intermission of his College Years compilation tape, Shome describes the title of "Enter Loot" as a double meaning. Loot is described as goods, however, it is also the action of stealing or taking away. The pros and cons of this title helps illustrate this certain track, allowing the listener to "decipher the cypher."

Next to drop from the NC collective The PoRt is Durham's own Evo, who plans to release his new mixtape Restless Drive some time this Summer. Get accustomed to seeing Evo's name more and more on G's Use Emoticons, and watch the visuals to the Nugget produced single "Chasing" below, which features G's favorite NiGE HOOD.

Rickie Jacobs - "Millionaire" (Prod. by YOG$) + #HeresYourAnswer (Reebok Classics Commercial)

Rickie Jacobs' relentless assault of freebies continues as the Baltimore emcee showcases the YOG$ produced "Millionaire." While I ride out to all of the leaks that Rickie's dropped since the release of Songs For High School Kids, "Millionaire" has to be my pick.



Also, give a congratulations to Rickie on Twitter who recently linked up with Reebok Classics to provide the vocal backdrop to the first installment of their HeresYourAnswer campaign. Watch the commercial after the jump!

[Video] Miguel Adds Wrestler To His Resume At The 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Last night's Billboard Music Awards were full of noteworthy moments, but Miguel found a way to become the most talked about musician at the ball. During a performance of his smash single (pun success!) "Adorn," Miguel took out a pair of fans while attempting to jump from one area of the stage to another.

While he's had plenty of embarrassing moments on stage, this one might take the cake. Hit the comments with your thoughts!

[Video] Kanye West Performs "New Slaves" & "Black Skinhead" On SNL

Shortly after debuting his new song "New Slaves" on the buildings of 66 cities worldwide, Kanye West took to SNL to deliver two intense performances from his upcoming album Yeezus. From the sounds and the delivery of "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead," Kanye seems to be delivering an album that both College Dropout and 808's & Heartbreaks' biggest fans will love.

Stream the performances below, and hit the comments with your thoughts on Ye's new material.

[Video] Kanye West Debuts Single "New Slaves" On 66 Buildings Worldwide

Leave it to Kanye to find an inventive way to premiere a new single. With his appearance on SNL only hours away, I was sure the track would pop up some time today. Never did I think it'd be done like this.

Instead of passing his single along to Flex, or mysteriously tweeting the record, Kanye had a performance of "New Slaves" projected along 66 buildings across the world.

As a huge Kendrick fan, I can't help but compare the subject matter to both parts 1 and 2 of "Vanity Slave," but I'm glad to see Kanye returning to his College Dropout roots.

Solange Knowles ft. Kendrick Lamar - "Looks Good With Trouble" (Remix)

While I think that every song from Solange's True EP deserves its own spotlight, I'm glad that "Looks Good With Trouble" has been gifted with a verse by Kendrick Lamar. Stream the duo's first collab below, and be sure to purchase the single HERE if you're vibin!

[Music Video] Kendrick Lamar - "Bxtch, Don't Kill My Vibe"

Just the other day, I had a quick proud fan moment when I heard Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" on the radio. Now, K. Dot's one of the biggest names in rap, but a few years ago I could only pray that something of substance like this track would break out onto the airwaves.

Check out the official video below as Mike Epps and Kendrick conduct this year's most ig'nant baptism, and be sure to cop good kid, m.A.A.d city in stores now!"



As a bonus, hit the jump to see Kendrick Lamar as principle for a day at Providence, RI's Mount Pleasant High School.
