A few days ago, Kendrick Lamar, Compton's resident conspiracy theorist and quirky wordsmith, released his first new material of 2012. "Cartoons & Cereal", which features underrated Maybach Music hardknock Gunplay, has an ATLiens -esque paranoid atmosphere (h.t. PassionoftheWeiss ). Gunplay's boisterous reactive threats build the paranoia ("nobody can mute me/but I never said nobody can't shoot me"). This sort of track won't make a fan of those folks that question Kendrick's idiosyncrasies, and his sometimes reductionist anti-establishment themes. That said, this is exactly the sort of track that Kendrick fans seem to be enjoying. Certainly we [...]
"This feel like 'Thugz Mansion,' I gotta tell Pac..." From The Westside, With Love II may have left us disappointed, but Dom's put out enough dope material over the years [...]
Midwest meets West in this melodiously fresh track from talented emerging rapper Bryan Sledge also known as BJ The Chicago Kid . As his namesake says, he's from Chicago but his recent collaboration with LA-based production outfit THC means we get "Dream II," a song that is equal parts dreamy and hard-hitting. No stranger to the world of gospel and soul music, BJ fully employs his vocal range in this song, making good use of all of his musical gifts. Off his upcoming LP, Pineapple Now and Laters, the track opens with Will Smith , [...]

Dom Kennedy has been laying low lately, but he takes the time to drop off an unreleased track from 2009 to hold us over. I have got to say, I can dig all the accessibility in Dom's music as of late, but this jazzy THC produced track is one of the best I have heard from the West Coast MC. No word on an upcoming project, but this sure does sit well with me! Stream the track and download it after the skip. Download: Dom Kennedy – "Why The [...]
![[Unreleased Track] Dom Kennedy: "Why The Hell Not" (Produced by THC)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3981866_lg.jpg)
Earlier today we got a THC produced gem via BJ The Chicago Kid . Now we get an unreleased Dom Kennedy track also produced by THC thanks to 2DBZ . The track was recorded around 2009 and compared to new Dom, it is easy to tell that it is a little dated. However, it's always nice to hear a new track as we await some new material from the artist. Side note : Today it was a warm 60 degree's in Chicago. I found myself listening to Dom's From the West$ide, With Love [...]
Chicago R&B artist BJ The Chicago Kid has worked hard to get to the place he's at now. It helped that he had a great 2011. He was featured on Freddie Gibbs, Pac Div, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and multiple other artist's albums, establishing his voice as the standard for the ill hooks. He also released The Life Of Love's Cupid, which includes the track " Heartless ", one of my favorite records of the year. He went back to the West Coast to enlist THC Productions for "Dream II," expanding his work with Top [...]

How many rappers today are renown first and foremost for their ability to rap ? Not for the company they keep, hit record they may have had or who they may sound like, but strictly for their adeptness as a lyrical orator? Not many. Which is why Kendrick Lamar is such an intriguing commodity in the rap's current climate. He's been likened to the legendary Dr. Dre and it is unclear who is co-signing who at this point. His ascension to prominence hasn't been filled with side antics nor terse fanfare. Which brings us [...]
Are you sick and tired of these weed rappers slangin' and dishin' southern drawls over vibrant production? Yeah, neither am I. The latest suppliers of said rap music, Smoke DZA and The Kid Daytona. Thanks to LRG Films, footage of the two going back and forth on both the mini-golf course and the microphone is caught, as the laid back soul sample swings from side to side. "Cool Shit" will be featured on DZA's upcoming release, T.H.C., which will be available Aug. 30. Hit the skip to view the video.
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 TDE Entertainment: 2011 Left coast golden child Kendrick Lamar's Section.80 arrives less than a year after his full length debut Overly Dedicated was given away for free (than sold) . OD was a hypnotic batch of street oriented neo-backpack rap. It's keenly executed songs about women, Compton, and being a young Black male got Dr. Dre's interest, coverage in the L.A. Times and MTV, and rap bloggers' sites full of Kendrick's videos, guest spots and leaks. So with no surprise Section.80 [...]
"Pasadena" combines how fun it is to watch cartoons while smoking weed and circus hi-jinks. At least, that's the scene I see looking at the Overdoz crews' bugged out eyeballs in their video. That eye-peeled-open-deer-in-the-he adlights look only happens when flashing lights pop up behind you on the highway or when you're overdosing on something good. In this case, it's this beat's synth bass, smoky, ambient vocals and their lets-blaze-our-brains-out attitude. These cats from Cali know how to party. They're always on the move in their Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine, singing to the radio and puffing copious amounts of marijuana. When [...]
The ways of women can be wicked and Kendrick is here to testify. I'm sure no one will object as he continues to build the anticipation for Section.80 with one last drop of rain. In his latest adventure, "Tammy" joins the likes of Sasha Thumper and Susie Screw as another storied harlot of Hip-Hop. When a women's fed up, there ain't nothing you can do about it. The snapper is going to go thataway . Not to dig in too deep on the reviewing end before the final is released in [...]

Hola junk food eaters, I will be a new addition to the MJF team. I go by Green aka Red Stag Sipper aka @ MisterMaryJane . I enjoy mass amount of Red Stag, eating unhealthy, and all things green. It's clear I will be posting music on this awesome blog. But will you enjoy my picky taste for hip-hop? If you do, you're cool and we should probably go to the bar. If not, please feel free to tweet rude and ridiculous things to me at @ MisterMaryJane . [...]
Fazer esse post foi complicado, principalmete porque Jhameel não é um artista convencional. Com uma personalidade intrigante, sua biografia cita que ele fala quatro línguas, e deseja expressar através de sua música os triunfos e desafios da condição humana. Depois de rejeitar um contrato com o exército americano, o cara começou a escrever seu disco, e em pouco tempo o The Human Condition estava na rede, de graça, para qualquer um que quisesse baixar. Sem singles, a tarefa mais difícil do post, como disse, foi escolher uma música [...]
