The Weeknd- The Knowing (Official Video)

The first official video from Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd. Off House of Balloons mixtape. This is next level, directed by Mikael Colombu, don't know anything about him but he's got a pretty crazy imagination.

First release from Kid Cudi and his new rock project... WZRD. Doesn't really sound much different, I don't mind it, still very spacely like alot of MOTM 2. No doubt there will be mixed reviews, lets hope its more successful than Lil Wayne's rock stint.

One Room

If you thought The Weeknd was a mystery, this is next level. A really shit tumblr, 15-odd tweets and 2 songs on soundcloud is all that is known about 'One Room' or whatever it is. And this blurb:

One Room was born in the Lower East Side. Everyone knows him but no one ever sees him. People say he grew up listening to static on his radio and eating mix tapes. When he was 10 he taught himself to play piano. They say he speaks every language and never sleeps. They say the music was inspired by cold winters and hot summers. They say it took him 20 years to make this music. They say it doesn’t sound like anything else. They say it was made in One Room. 

Anyway, One Room has this excessively minimalistic, premature Illangelo/The Weeknd type of sound with one of the weirdest/indiest videos I've ever seen to go with it. I'm not entirely sure what to think of it just yet...

Drake: TAKE CARE (Album Stream/Review)

Thought I'd chuck up five songs off the album that everyone should listen to. 5 songs doesn't do anywhere near justice, you should really listen to the whole thing start to finish!!!!

14 Drake - Look What You've Done.mp3

Extra: Drake- Look What Youve Done (Chase N. Cashe, 40)
I put this one up cause it has a real unique sample. It samples rehearsal footage of the late songwriter-producer Stephen “Static/Major” Garrett, as he works out “If U Scared, Say U Scared,”. This was the guy who featured in Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop', but passed away a couple weeks before Lollipop was released and went number one across the world. This is 40, the executive producer's favourite track off the album. Easily the most heartfelt song I'd imagine in Drake's eyes. Read more here from Sean Fennessey, an editor at GQ Magazine.

Overall, a more-than-impressive full-length LP which truly takes you on a trip into what goes on in Drake's head. At times towards the end he may lose our attention with the constant stripper banter ('Cameras', 'Practice'), but his brutal honesty in every track is what sets him apart from the large majority of artists out at the moment. Next, lets look forward to what his counterparts in OVOXO have for us, no doubt Drake will be hoping to create his own little click in the industry with the likes of ASAP Rocky, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar and his right hand man Noah '40' Shebib.

Rihanna (feat. JAY-Z) - Talk That Talk

Jesus Christ this is catchy. I love how they call her "recording artist" and not singer/songwriter. I wonder how much imput she has in her album, judging by the production credits not as much as I thought, Ester Dean and P Diddy wrote this song. Maybe why she's become such a sex symbol gradually over the years? Thats where the money's at!! Regardless, she is amazing at what she does, and judging by the producers on her newest album coming Wednesday, It'll be fucking good and she'll clean up once again. Or should I say Ester Dean and StarGate will. Oh, and Jigga does what he does best.

KiD CuDi - Rap Hard (NEW Mixtape)

Everytime I hear Coldplay live I become speechless. Always 100% genuine music. Not to mention their epic fashion sense for a bunch of 30-odd year olds. Performs 'Paradise' and 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall'

This will appeal to most people. The man is a very talented RnB artist. Be sure to check it out.

Pusha T: Fear of God II: Let Us Pray (Album)

Hopefully most have listened to Pusha Ton's album by now, but if not here's a few tracks to change your mind. Killer album, raw, brash, street as all hell. Push takes it to another level throughout, especially in terms of coke boasting. I wonder where most of his income really comes from.

Pusha T (feat. Kanye West and Jeezy)- Amen (highlight off the album)

The Roots- undun (Album out DECEMBER 6)

Thought I'd throw some stuff up about the new Roots album, I think alot of us (definitely me) haven't paid much attention to them with all the other huge releases over the past month...

"undun is the story of this kid who becomes a criminal, but he wasn’t born criminal. He’s not the nouveau exotic primitive bug-eyed gunrunner… he’s actually thoughtful and is neither victim nor hero. Just some kid who begins to order his world in a way that makes the most sense to him at a given moment… At the end of the day… isn’t that what we all do?"

The first two of four videos have been released for the album:

The Roots- Make My (feat. Big K.R.I.T.)

Listen to the full song here:


The Roots- Tip The Scales

Two awesome songs, album out December 6, no doubt it will be worth a listen. Make sure you do!

Very interesting.

Meek Mill – I’m A Boss (rmx) f. T.I., Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Birdman, Swizz Beatz & DJ Khaled

WOOOOOO!!!!!!! T.I. was MADE for this beat.... Fucking epic remix. SWIZZ adds his famous rugged touch. One of the best WEEZY verses this year...

Expect Meek Mill to overtake Wale in the forthcoming months... Wale hasn't sold out, but Meek has alot to prove. Birdman actually uses more than 15 recycled words in his 8 bars... ?? Nice effort.

"Had a couple seizures call'em minor setbacks...

Ricky Ross is back hahaa.
