In a timely fashion, Nosaj Thing and Chance the Rapper have premiered their collaboration for Songs from Scratch , “Paranoia,” just hours after Yours Truly released a series of behind the scenes clips. Admittedly, Nosaj Thing is relatively selective when it comes to asking vocalists to perform on his tracks- Kendrick Lamar is the only other emcee that he has collaborated with. “Paranoia” is the result of a single nights work in Los Angeles' Ironworx Studio. alh [...]
Orchestral remix of the (arguably) the hottest song of 2012? Yes, please. Producer IAMNOBODI, coming straight out of Deutscheland, delivers a phenomenal rendition of Kendrick Lamar's, Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what the BDKMV even stood for until I hit play and ... Read More

The post Video: On The Road With Kendrick - Verge Campus Tour appeared first on Vibe To This .
Is it just us or does it seem like the new breed of talented beatmakers are getting younger and younger by the week? Chicago-born producer BeazyTymes may only be seventeen years old, but one wouldn't know it when tuning into his excellent latest creation, a remix of The xx's fan-beloved Aaliyah cover "Hot Like Fire" that slyly cycles the track back to its Timbaland roots by adding to the remake's dreamy indie rock slow burn a lightly seasoned lining of rapid-fire trap percussion tricks, the subtle tweak more than enough to earn the cut [...]

This year marks the 20th annual Hot 97 Summer Jam, a staple of hip-hop that's been around since the days when festivals largely ignored the genre and instead catered to bearded dudes noodling away on their guitars for interminable jam sessions. While Summer Jam isn't as essential to rap fans now thanks to the vast options at festivals across the country, it's still a landmark event for the genre every year. Summer Jam XX takes place June 2 at MetLife Stadium with 2 Chainz , Kendrick Lamar , A$AP Rocky , Miguel , Chris [...]

Robin Thicke is definitely looking to switch things up with his sixth studio album. Currently sitting atop the iTunes R&B Chart with his single, "Blurred Lines," Thicke decided to drop by Sway in the Morning to premiere his next hit, "Give It To You." Produced by will.i.am , the track features the crooner linking up with MTV's Hottest 2 MC's , 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar , for this club banger. It's a major departure from what we're used to hearing from Thicke, but the upbeat number still manages to let him [...]
Robin Thicke called in the big guns for "Blurred Lines," the lead single off his forthcoming album, with guest spots from Pharrell and T.I. And now for "Give It to You," (although in the radio rip, Thicke calls it "Give It to Me") he's done it again, this time enlisting 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar , with will.i.am on production (and thankfully not on vocals anywhere). We loved the laid-back cool of "Blurred Lines," but this new cut is a more aggressive beast (subtlety was never [...]
You can't ask Kid Cudi to be any more than who he is - a proud stoner, actor, and, most notably, an electronica-addicted rapper and producer. That kind of integrity within may be good for him on a personal level, but when it comes to music, he doesn't seem to have risen to the occasion. On his latest record, Indicud, he has moments of genius that recall his earlier work, but he never fully commits, or grows beyond the Kid Cudi [...]
