The producer turned rapper model is nothing new in music. Think about it, some of the most respected emcees in the game found their start as mystery men behind the beats before morphing into the men we now know behind the mic. Kanye West, J Dilla, Rza, Pharrell, etc. are all successful examples of this transition. With a blueprint already in place, it's easy to see why an increasing number of beat architects are making this jump. While some try to follow in the direct footsteps of those that have come before, others have a very specific understanding of who [...]
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the best emcee of them all? Hundreds of rappers probably wake up and ask this question in their bathrooms every day. And every day, I’m sure the answer is always the same—“Kendrick Lamar.” Over the past two years, Lamar has proven himself to be a lyrical monster and arguably the best rapper in the game. In my opinion, he's numero uno; better than Jay-Z, Ye', Eminem, Drake (Who took Lamar on tour and gave him his very own track on " Take Care ") Rick Ross—everyone. Granted he hasn't [...]

Los Angeles rapper Schoolboy Q is making some noise with his album Habits and Contradictions, which dropped mid-January. A member of the “black hippy” movement with the likes of Kendrick Lamar and others, Q’s got a rugged flow that matches his rough, face-tattooed look. “Hands on the Wheel” is Schoolboy Q’s ode to “weed and brews.” Fellow newcomer and hype-creator ASAP Rocky takes the second verse, showcasing his smooth quick tongue against Q’s more jagged approach. Production on the track is by Washington DC duo Best Kept Secret, known for their work on Wale’s The Mixtape About Nothing. [...]
This was not the week to release a halfassed music video. This was the week when a whole lot of people, from microbudget indie nobodies to massive stars, worked hard on giving us something. Even the terrible videos, like the absurd and garish Madonna football-themed car-wreck " Give Me All Your Luvin' " were the product of a whole ton of obvious work. I had to leave some very good videos off this list, and everything below is well worth your eyeball-time. And that goes triple for this week's #1 pick, a badass iconic clip from an artist [...]
This post was going to be titled, "Introducing: Willie Brown " but the man doesn't really need an introduction. A standard on the landscape of Los Angeles-based artists, Brown's deep affiliation with the Black Hippy crew and Top Dawg Entertainment has added significant leverage to his title as a producer -- though he his talents as a composer, rapper and lyricist ought to be recognized as well. At least in the realm of production, Brown has rendered a distinct style for himself by deftly incorporating laid-back, tempered beats, complimentary of his West Coast background, adding in everything [...]

FADER asked the Black Hippy what he's holding and the answer is probably not that surprising. A bottle of lean, a g in twenty dollar bills, an inhaler, and an iPad.

The festival takes place on March 3 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernandino. Sean Tags: Cypress Hill , danny brown , Fashawn , mobb deep , MSTRKRFT , Nipsey Hussle , Ritmo Machine [...]
For the sake of discussion, Kendrick Lamar's Section.80 happens to make for a solid point of comparison to Schoolboy Q's Habits and Contradictions . Aside from the obvious-the two are frequent collaborators and members of Kendrick's Black Hippy crew- Habits bears plenty of similarities to 80 . For starters, they each have a phenomenal ear for beats, both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Both artists too, are keen observers of the world around them. Both thrive off inner conflict, and turn those conflicted moments into meditations that feel both tangibly personal, and [...]
