Recently, Curren$y stopped in for an interview with VladTV and revealed an upcoming mixtape he’s finished with Wiz. Although their debut mixtape as a duo was titled How Fly, Curren$y explains the title will be something new. No release date is set for the tape yet. Stay tuned for more info on the mixtape, and be sure to grab Stoned Immaculate in stores June 5th. Check out one of my favorites off How Fly below as well.

Here is Lupe’s new single off of Food and Liquor 2.  Definitely a drastic turn from the formula he used on Lasers; abandoning his “poppy” sound and returning to his traditional roots.  Lupe touches on a variety of controversial topics (war, poverty, etc.) as well as exhibiting the playful lyricism that gained him so many fans.  It has a classic hip-hop sound, sampling Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth’s “T.R.O.Y”.  Can’t wait for this album to drop.

The “No Antidote Tour” starring Two Fresh & Nit Grit has come to an end. For those Two Fresh fans out there that didn’t make it to any of the stops, Elm and Oak has released a gnarly video recapping the tour. To make things even better, the footage has been complimented with one of their unreleased tracks titled “Galapagos’d”. The video features pro skateboarders, a visit to Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, and a ton of other sick shit. Well, what are you waiting for? Peep it!

Who is Empty Boy? Apparently whoever he is, he’s out there and he’s embarking on a world tour? I found this video on youtube today and it left me confused, wondering who is this Empty Boy? I did some intel and uncovered that “Empty Boy” is a single off of Ed Banger Records’ Artist “Krazy Baldhead“ . Check out the video that shows the “Empty Boy” logo being placed everywhere. Be ready for Empty Boy.

Cypress Hill & Rusko’s digital album comes out June 4th, the first single “Roll it, Light it” was a solid track with more of a dubstep feel to it, while “Lez Go” has more of an electronic sound to it compared to most Rusko tracks. Not as many wobbles – just a spacey synth, but that doesn’t mean this song doesn’t knock, with Travis Barker killing it on the drums this song is pretty official. The visuals are mediocre, just live footage of the dudes performing together; but its all good the song makes up for it! Check out the music video for Cypress Hill & Rusko “Lez Go” (Feat. Travis Barker) below:

After months without releasing music, Passion Pit comes back with a upbeat, catchy, electronic track with feel good MGMT like vibes. The poppy synths fit perfectly with Michael Angelakos vocals on the track. July 24th is the set date for Passion Pit’s second album, Gossamer, to drop and if it sounds like “Take A Walk” it is bound to do as well as their first album. Listen to Passion Pit’s “Take A Walk” below, and be ready for their second album Gossamer to drop on July 24th!

A$AP Rocky is killin’ it lately, with summer right around the corner and his debut album dropping in July he is seriously making moves. Last week he dropped his ill visuals for “Goldie”, the first single off LongLiveASAP, today he drops the music video for the feel good hit “Street Knock” that features that Pretty Motherfucka himself and Swizz Beatz, the hyphy instrumental was produced by AraabMuzik. The music video features a sexy red car, drum lines, dope shots of the two chillin’ in NYC, cameos of Allen Iverson, Jadakiss, and other tough shit. Peep “Street Knock” below, now!

No Doubt has just announced their comeback with a new album dropping September 25. They don’t have a title for it yet but word on the street is that the album is mixed and ready to go. In the meantime the band will be shooting videos and rehearsing for what is most likely going to be a world tour. I for one am hella excited. Their last album “Rock Steady“ dropped in 2001 and was an instant classic. They worked with an array of producers and somehow managed to combine rock, ska, reggae, funk and just so many other styles into one entity of hella good (pun intended) tracks. I personally love how The Neptunes  helped produce that album. This time around No Doubt has teamed up with the one, the only, Major Lazer. It’s truly amazing how many people Diplo (1/2 of Major Lazer) has worked with  recently. Anyway, This album is going to be really interesting. I wonder what their sound is going to be like after all this time. The band was on a brief hiatus in the mid 2000′s when Gwen Stefani went solo. I first heard Gwen Stefani’s voice way back in the day in like elementary school and I’ve been in love with her singing ever since. She’s got to be one of the coolest chicks ever. I mean what other singer has been on a track with Sublime and was a rockstar before becoming a pop star? And now she’s going back to rockstar with the help of guitarist Tom Dumont , bassist Tony Kanal, and drummer Adrian Young. I think they’re definitely going to tour the world after their album drops. This albums going to be fucking awesome, No Doubt. Album doesn’t drop until September but in the meantime check out some in the studio footage of their most likely single “Push And Shove” below.

Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) recently dropped a video for “Made You Die” a track dedicated to the murder of Trayvon Martin over Nas’s classic “Made You Look”. The song features Dead Prez‘s M-1, Mike Flo, and Yasiin Bey spitting verses about the Trayvon Martin controversy and help celebrate his life through lyrics and music. Its cool to see musicians standing up for what they feel is right and speaking their minds. Check out the music video below for “Made You Die“

Notice the hoodies the 3 MCs are wearing.
