As promised, B.o.B released a new mixtape today entitled “F*ck Em We Ball.” Bobby Ray is known for dropping quality mixtapes, but he tends to suffer when it comes time to release an album. His past two albums didn’t sell two well and featured a lot of commercial music. Label pressure might have influenced the content…

Big Boi ft. A$AP Rocky & Phantogram- “Lines”
by Anthony Porcelli •
First I heard Rocky’s opening verse and thought “This is awesome”…. and then I heard indie duo Phantogram come in on the chorus and thought “This is absolutely amazing”. Being a fan of both indie music and hip-hop makes this song one of coolest things I’ve ever heard. Big Boi’s Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors…

by Nick Brakatselos •
Hit Download, then play. Now you can read the write up; Urban Noize mashed and remixed Lana Del Ray’s “National Anthem” with Kanye West’s “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” to create an extremely laid back track with some serious beats. I’m going to let the music speak for itself on this one.

Lady Gaga was supposed to be featured on Kendrick Lamar’s debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, but didn’t make the cut as a result of his label deadline. On “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”, Gaga sings the chorus and surprisingly fits very well in the context of the track. Maybe one day we will receive the full…
