The Brat
I heard this track a few days ago and I just can't stop listening to it. The song is called 'D.R.U.G.S.' by an Australian born rapper by the name of Iggy Azalea who I'm taking is on YG's Pushaz Inc label. I'm hearing the comparisons to Nicki Minaj, and people are calling her a blend of Ke$ha and Nicki, but I'm not really feeling it or seeing it. After hearing this track, I listened to a few of her songs off of her "Ignorant Art" album and sorry to say I can't cosign her. Maybe it's the crazy hot beat of 'D.R.U.G.S.' that really gets me excited to hear this song and have it on repeat all day or something, but I can't really dig her other stuff. "Ignorant Art" is alright to me at best, it's not something I'd go out of my way to go cop and her freestyles are alright at best. Maybe I need to take a few more listens but I can't say that I'm an Iggy Azalea fan, but I do happen to love love loveeee this song. Check out the music video for 'D.R.U.G.S.' and download "Ignorant Art" if you want to hear more from Iggy.KiD CuDi 'Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More Of This Whiskey!"

Boogie KaZamm "Indifferent" Mixtape
Shoutouts to my guy Boogie and his production game, and the up coming/recently released (if you're on the East Coast it just dropped and if you're on the west side like myself you'll be getting it early. If you don't know, Boogie is a producer (17 at that) out of the mid-West and looking to expand his already growing fan base with his dope beats for local and up and coming artists from his area. The mixtape does feature the track I put up a few months back called 'Just A Kid' (formally called 'FREE-STILE' on the mixtape) by EJAAZ and other songs by a few other artists like Breeze, HowFly, Jayy Starr & Gabrielle Wilkerson and a couple others featured on some tracks. I'm currently listening to this 10-track mixtape so I can't tell you my personal faves, but take some time to download and check it out for yourself. If you're an up and coming artist and would like to have a Boogie beat, then hit him up.

Asher Roth & Chuck Inglish "In the Kitchen (Music Video)"
My guy Asher Roth and one half of the duo, The Cool Kids, Chuck Inglish have teamed up to make a hot track called "In the Kitchen" which as the title states was made in the kitchen, and yes the music video is also of them performing the song in the kitchen. Once again, Chuck Inglish has put together some dope beats, I honestly have no idea how he constantly puts out fresh tracks after fresh tracks but kudos to the man, and Roth comes once again with his slick rhymes to finish the 1, 2 punch of the whole record. The video came out a few weeks ago, but this is the first chance I've had to actually listen to and watch the video, and I give it my whole hearted recommendation for all Chuck Inglish and Asher Roth fans and those of you that don't know much about the two. Deff on the lookout for some more Roth songs because I need more of his music. Video directed by Mike Waxx & Mike Carson.

A$AP Rocky "LiveLoveA$ap (Mixtape)"
So I've heard about Harlem's own, A$AP Rocky, a minute back, but I wasn't proactive to put him on here before he really started to blow up. He recently signed a 3 million dollar deal to Polo Grounds (don't know much about the record label), and has been heating up the internet lately with a nice fanbase one that includes myself. I may not know much about the rap game and all its details, but I don't think we've really heard many rappers representing Harlem since the Diplomats were heavy on the scene. A$AP looks to blend that Southern (Texas mainly) trill lifestyle and his Harlem world to create a sound of music that is unique and different than other rappers out there. He recently dropped his "LiveLoveA$ap" mixtape which is definitely a banger, and if this is your first interaction with A$ap then please listen to 'Purple Swag' just a little something to check out and then listen to his other tracks. One of my new favorites is 'Bass' which I'll leave here for ya'll to listen and download. Recognize his name, A$AP.

KiD CuDi feat. Cage 'Maniac (Short Film)(Dir. Shia LeBeouf)'
The day we've all been waiting for, the video for the 'Maniac' video which wasn't just a music video, but a short film directed by one of Hollywood's hottest, and a huge Cage fan and friend, Shia Lebeof. Ever since I heard that 'Maniac' would be shot as a short film and released on Halloween Day I had been excited for it, and the time has finally come. Cudders had tweeted around midnight EST that the 'Maniac' video would be dropped, but some complications ensued and it was released later on Halloween Day, but nonetheless the video is here. It's so dark and creepy, and it follows two serial killers around as they pretty much do their thing, the two killers being Scott Mescudi and Chris Palko aka KiD CuDi & Cage. I've recently become a Cage fan and listening to his music is like a walk into his mind, and him playing the role of a serial killer is just beyond creepy. He fits the part so well (not sure how complimenty that statement is, but he does do a great job), and Cudders seems more like sweet serial killer almost. They both do an amazing job in this film, and the ending atleast for me was not expected. Congrats to Shia on another great directing piece, and CuDi & Cage on the collab.
