New Video Alert: DJ Khaled ft Jay Z x Future - I Got The Keys *update*

Khaled's been teasing this for well over two months now, in a way only Khaled can do. The bow down and kiss the ring days are done. Khaled is now about being the major key in this game called life.  As promised during the BET Awards last night in Cali, Khaled got the internet buzzing like the bee hive in the Jungle Book movie, when he announced the highly anticipated track will drop with the video that night.

Here he calls on his manager and the big homie Jay Z and the FreeBandz general Future to give us..... ANOTHER ONE!!! With the current single For Free with Drake killing it on the airwaves, this song here will continue Khaled's ownership of summer 2016. Hov says alot on this song like he did on Pusha T's Drug Dealers Anonymous the lines:

N*ggas always asking me the key
'Til you on your own you can't be free
'Til you're on your own you can't be me
How we still slaves in 2016?

Major Key the album is available for pre-order now and drops July 29th.

New MUSIC alert: DJ Khaled x Drake - For Free

There's a statement made by Khaled on this song where he announces "Summer is ours". After you listen to this song with the mayor of T.O Drake and the forthcoming single with Jay Z and Future, it's hard to bet against that. This is straight Bay Area Too Short x E-40 fire, with the type of feeling you get while drinking a slush puppy, eyeing up that girl or boy you want to add to your phone's contacts.

New MUSIC alert: Pusha T x Jay Z - Drug Dealers Anonymous (updated)

One day we'll live in a world where Pusha T is no longer underrated to the wider audience outside of Hip Hop, Pusha again drops more lyrical heat. After getting the Lemonade talk out of his system on the remix to Fat Joe x Remy Ma's new world banger All The Way Up, Hov drop some real gems right in pocket on this DJ Dahi produced track. He refers to that London photo and addresses the Tomi Lahren statement:

"Your husband was a drug dealer. For fourteen years, he sold crack cocaine. Talk about protecting black neighbourhoods? Start at home."

I guess he's got Tidal in a stable place and now has time to drop bars. Look out for Pusha's forthcoming album King Push.

Interview: The Combat Jack Show - J.Cole Edition

Again big up Combat Jack, for once again proving why his show is the reason the idea "podcast" was created. I love this show and as a fan of the Hip Hop culture, everything it stands for and the nuggets of knowledge and history it provides. So with that said...... 

J. Cole details the inspiration behind '2014 Forest Hills Drive', his battle with expectations, wanting to sign Kendrick Lamar when they first met and his thoughts regarding the shots-ridden "Control" verse. Cole also talks the hip hop culture shift that inspired "Fire Squad", consciously staying out of Drake's lane while creating his own, what happened that eventful night with Diddy, visiting Ferguson, his new outlook on life and how he became a voice of his generation.

Music Video: Fabolous - Lituation

Fabolous has a new situation with Jay Z's Roc Nation, which will release the forthcoming "The Young O.G. Project".

Music: Guess Who's Part Of The Roc.....

Def Jam is the home that gave birth to many many aspects that contributed to Hip Hop, giving birth to some of the biggest superstars in Hip Hop. Remember when they had the star power of DMX, Jay Z, Ja Rule, Redman, Method Man were dominating everything from 98 onwards. 

Then recent superstars like Rihanna, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Fabolous and more. But with everything times change and labels always have a re-shuffle of their pack (almost like the transfer window or draft).

*JME voice* WELL WELL WELL. Few days after the news of The Carter tour now becoming a reality. Another power move has been made which is going to shake up the music industry something crazy. Guess who is now officially a full fledge member of the Roc.....

7 albums later and contract fulfillments met, the bad girl of RnB is now down with the Roc. 
She was already apart of the Roc Nation management but now is an official artist. Roc Nation is now the hottest label on the planet with the addition of RiRi. Don't be surprised if a one Mr.West ups and follows suit. IT'S THE ROC YA BASTARDS!!

Music: Why Drake response may never happen.

So Jay Electronica is FINALLY give us some music to keep us waiting for that debut Roc Nation album of his. Seems like he's slowed down from being in the news jumping off and on planes with the wealth married woman, and is now in GO MODE.

Monday 23rd this freestyle over Drake's "We Made It" drops with Jay and Jay. And while Jay-E's verse is nothing short of dope, it's Jay Z's verse that has sent the internet rap tipsy with his direct response to Drake's Rolling Stone's article. Where Drake said "It's like Hov can't drop bars these days without at least four art references," Drake complained. "I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny."

In my humble opinion, Drake isn't going to reply back to Jay Z. Does that make him wack or shook not at all. Sometimes you have to be smart and look at the bigger picture. Here are a few reasons I think won't happen:

1. He's probably listened to the track like 50 times already (cause us Rap fans damn sure have), and admit "Well I did throw this first jab, so I should have expected this."

2. Remember when Common and Drake were at it (Some say because of that Nubian queen Serena), and that beef got squashed. As popular and dope Drake is, someone got in his ear and must have reminded him, Common is a vet when it comes to rap beef (ask Ice Cube).

3. You'll still yet to reply to this........

or this

4. Someone at Cash Money/Young Money already sent shots at Jay. Wayne tried to get Jay's attention a couple of times, heard nothing from it. Then poof Jay dropped just two lines at him on the La Familia track from Magna Carta Holy Grail album. No response back from Wayne (but Carter 5 is on the way).

5. Must important of all, you idolise Jay Z............

Drake - Fear (2nd verse)

Hot 97 interview for release of Nothing Was The Same.

Don't get me wrong it would be fun to see Drake say something back on a track to see if we get something more Jay. But I ain't holding my breath on that one, plus Drake too busy making the sweet music of love if reports true that he's back with Rhi Rhi (we ALL got time for that). This is Rap and the culture of Hip Hop loves a little shake-up every so often.

Music: Rick Ross x Jay Z - The Devil Is A Lie

The long awaited for track from Rozay's Mastermind is here, the one we wanted featuring Jay. Listen close to what Jay says, he addresses the Barneys incident and someone who claimed to be "King".

This is like 6th time this two have linked up to provide us with music, which has given me an idea for a post......
