Over the past year or so, some previously mythological/never-going-to-ha ppen albums have indeed either dropped or started their promotional cycle. One of the most surprising single drops of the year came in January with " Pay the Price ", the comeback release of Deltron 3030. Equally worthy of a "is this really happening?" (though not quite as exciting) is the news that Papoose's Necrima Dream is finally dropping tomorrow, March 26. With these occurrences in mind, we began thinking about other projects that will probably never see the light of day. We already wrote about [...]
According to a very brief post on Lupe Fiasco’s website, he and Pharrell Williams will be releasing a collaborative album some time this year. The two are no strangers to working together, whether as two-thirds ... read more

Aaron Matthews was the original percussionist in Toto. With the rapturous reception of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy , Kanye West has finally accrued a cult of personality to match that of Big Brother Jay. With that cult comes the ability to start trends. After all, MBDFT was one of 13 platinum albums in 2010, everyone wants what sells and ‘Ye’s weekly G.O.O.D. Fridays series has been copied by everyone from Swizz Beatz to Timbaland. These knockoff song series mostly offer superstar collaborations between artists who clearly never sat [...]
Newcastle producer Waskerly Way turns up the groove box on 'New Norse'. Blowing the fog off the Tyne it should elevate him above the "glo-fi" masses.

Kanye West's new short film "Runaway" came out yesterday and I finally got around to watching it tonight. It is one hell of an art/marketing/philosophy endeavor on Yeezy's part. From Michael Jackson tributes, to allusions to the K.K.K., the film results in a somewhat deep discussion of permanence and social ostracism rooted in a love story between 'Ye and an otherworldly phoenix. You can expect a bunch of explosions and fire, as well as some pretty artsy shots and a great deal of near nude depictions of Selita Ebanks (Kanye's female co-star). The [...]

Kanye has been blazing through his G.O.O.D. Friday campaign with free tracks that have all been a decent listen to some degree, but I just about lost it when I got my hands on the Child Rebel Soldier... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]

Animais à solta: o disco de Avey Tare e o single do Panda Bear Dá para acreditar que neste ponto do ano, dois anos atrás, nós estávamos começando a jornada que nos levou ao "Merriweather Post Pavilion"? Quer dizer, dá para sentir que esse álbum foi lançado há quase 2 anos? "MPP" pode ainda povoar nossas mentes, mas dois dos homens por trás da obra estão querendo que você olhe além nesses próximos meses. Avey Tare está lançando seu primeiro álbum solo no final desse mês, "Down There", do qual uma das faixas ganhou [...]
Now that Lasers finally has a release date , it's time for Lupe Fiasco to start the arduous task of creating hype for his third album (as if the massive wait and series of protests didn't accomplish that already). Since there's no better time than now to make up for the past, check out a clip of an unnamed track from a weekend gig at Wake Forest University's homecoming (via Billboard ). Though just 52 seconds, the clip should be enough to hold [...]

After a fan-based organization got 29,000 signatures on a petition, threatened to mob Atlantic Records and waited two years for it to be released, Lupe Fiasco's "Lasers" is set to be released March 8, 2011. Now the organized mob plans on storming the castle on October 15, or Fiasco Friday , in celebration of the announcement of the album's release. Of course, Lupe hasn't been sitting around lazy these past two years. Leaks of songs popped up a couple months ago, and we already shared with you "Go to [...]

DOWNLOAD: Child Rebel Soldier (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Pharrell) - Don't Stop! Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell's short lived CRS, aka Child Rebel Soldier, thing has been on hold for years.

Seriously, I leave for Madison, WI for one weekend without my computer and a new Child Rebel Soldier song comes out? Their first track since "Us Placers" in 2007, in fact. I should spend more time away from the Internet if these types of things are going to happen. Child Rebel Soldier: "Don't Stop!"

Kanye West released the latest installment in his G.O.O.D. Friday series at the start of the weekend. The heavyweight collaborations continue, this time with Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco. MP3 : Kanye West - Don't Stop (ft. Pharrell and Lupe Fiasco)

So Mr. West surprised us this past G.O.O.D. Friday with not only a new track, but a new track featuring Child Rebel Soldier! Not sure if any of you remember "Us Placers" and a rumored CRS album was in the works, but Im happy to hear new music from the trio (Kanye West, Pharrell & Lupe Fiasco). According to Lupe this joint is 2 years old but Sheeiiit who cares its still dope! Now I'm off to get ready for the new work week. Thank you all for coming, GOD bless and good [...]

Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell have teamed up to create a hip hop supergroup, calling themselves Child Rebel Soldier. So far, Child Rebel Soldier has been way more of an idea than an active music group, as they've only released one song prior to "Don't Stop!". Regardless, the three different styles of Kanye, Lupe and Pharrell is worth keeping your eye on. Hit the download link for "Don't Stop!" below. I've included their first song titled "US Placers" as well...really unique, awesome track. Download: Child Rebel Soldier (Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell) [...]

Child Rebel Soldier, the amazing trio of Kanye , Lupe, and Pharrell, have come together to release a new song. It came out last night for yet another G.O.O.D. Friday release. If you remember, CRS first delivered the phenomenal Thom Yorke sampling "US Placers" and it got the whole blog world in a craze. Nothing came from them, until now. "Don't Stop!" doesn't stop. It's four minutes of blazing fast, smooth verses from all three well versed rappers. If your a fan of one, chances are your a fan of all. This project [...]

This week’s G.O.O.D. Friday drop by Kanye West isn’t so much by Kanye West, but by a trio he’s a part of. Child Rebel Soldier is a hip-hop “supergroup” made up of Kanye West, Pharrell & Lupe Fiasco. They released a track, “Us Placers” back in 2007 that appeared on West’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape. The song ended up on Rolling Stone‘s Top 100 Songs of 2007. So they’ve got that going for them… which is nice. Well, this week’s G.O.O.D. Friday drop from Kanye West reforms the trio, [...]
