ABN's fearless leader's original version of "I'm On" played out like a blockbuster remix and it seemed like it was already at its apex with star power. Shame on anyone [...]
Happy New Years Eve, friends! Here’s a megamix of some of my fave songs posted here throughout the year. It was tough to narrow it down but I really dig these tracks. Play this loud while imbibing and enjoying your friends or family or whoever you have close. It’s been an amazing year for the site, music and life. Looking forward to a fantastic 2012 and wishing all of you the same! Cheers! BTSTU - Jai Paul - I know this song originally dropped in 2010, but I found it and [...]
The year is coming to a close, and in less than a week 2011 will be no more than a memory. As we set our resolutions and prepare for the next chapter in our lives, many of us will be reflecting on the past year and the events that defined it - both for ourselves and society. For Earmilk , every year is defined by the music it brings to the table. We live and breath music over here, celebrating it to the highest extent as well as scrutinizing it to the finest detail. The beautiful thing about music [...]

Kendrick Lamar born June 17, 1987 in Compton, California is exactly what hip hop has needed from the West Coast. A new young cat looking to make REAL music. KL is a hardcore Pac fan it should be noted. Not only is Tupac Lamar’s favorite rapper, but he idolizes him in life as well dedicating at least 10 minutes at every show to Pac. Though I’m from the East where we rep Biggie, I’ll let this mild transgression slide and say that Kendrick Lamar is a refreshingly talented young rapper that I am pumped about. Enjoy this music.

Omen's latest project, Afraid of Heights, has dropped and it is a great piece of work. Finally, a real artist who takes their own talents and highlights them without a crazy list of famous features; just Omen doing his thing. With that being said, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar both appear on separate tracks on this mixtape, which are listed below, and absolutely murder it as they work so well with Omen's production and flow. Afraid of Heights is worth the listen and download so check it out and enjoy. [...]
Never really heard anything from Omen until right the hell now. I honestly only gave his shit a listen initially for the 2 features directly below. But damn, I was sleeping on this guy! Below you can download/stream two joints off of Omen's Afraid Of Heights mixtape; one called "Look Of Lust" featuring Kendrick Lamar & Shalonda & the other called "Mama Told Me" featuring J. Cole . Also below you can download the Afraid Of Heights mixtape in its entirety & check the tracklisting under the jump! Oh, and Omen [...]
Download Afraid of Heights I like that this happened. For keywording purposes, I'm guessing this remains a mixtape, but for mjf discussion purposes, this is an outstanding album of original material. A self-identified "nerd for rap," Omen has said it's partially about fear of success, a valid worry. It's thought-provoking, and one of those thoughts is, "Mmm, listening to this feels good ." Great guest list too, including Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and my new favorite, Shalonda . Omen: official | twitter | [...]
Regardless if it goes with the concept this artwork is horrendous. Cmon J.Cole, Omen is a Dreamville artist you guys could have hooked him up with some better artwork but i digress. Omen been working on this for a quite a bit, known for his dope lyricism and impressive production plus, you can look forward to features from J.Cole, Kendrick Lamar, and Elite that alone can insure you that this is one project you gonna wanna check out.

A smooth, daydream-inducing track by Kendrick Lamar called "My Mind Drifts" has surfaced thanks to a mixtape by Hot 97 host Peter Rosenberg and Popchips. "With so much BS out there — sometimes it’s hard to find what’s really poppin. Well I did the work for you," Rosenberg wrote while introducing the What's Poppin Vol. 1 collection. Head below to hear the rapper J. Cole told us is "a breath of fresh air." "As my mind drift and then split like the middle of a spliff, I begin to [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. Kendrick sits down with TheMaskedGorilla to talk about landing the XXL Freshmen cover , working with Dr. Dre, his collaborative project with J. Cole, Vanity Slave pt.2 w/ Gucci Mane.
When Kendrick Lamar and the TDE camp hitup New York they went on a media blitz doing numerous interviews and shooting videos. Complex caught up with K. Dot and they sat down for one of his dopest interviews to date. I've included a few excerpts below but do yourself a favor and read the full interview at Complex. You’ve gotten a great reception for your latest mixtape, Section.80. What was the recording process like? I started working on Section.80 like four months prior to it coming out. There’s a point in time where [...]
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 [...]
West Coast native Kendrick Lamar just released the date for his upcoming project # Section80 via twitter, and has announced it to drop this coming July 2nd. Lamar has released a few tracks thus far and I must say everyone of them is fire. Check them out and be sure to grab the whole project soon! Kendrick Lamar- Ronald Reagan Era ft. RZA Kendrick Lamar- Hol' Up [...]

I'm a lil' late on getting this up but better late than never when it comes to dope content. APlusFilmz just made, what might be, the best video out right now. Kendrick already destroyed this song produced by J. Cole, but the job that APlus did with the visuals is bananas! Check it all out below, NOW!
He does this for his culture. With his newfound buzz growing by the millisecond, Kendrick Lamar could easily run out and "work" with the latest media-hyped undeserving imposter to propel himself into the system. Yet, there's a story to be told, message to be spread and a radioactive flow that cannot be contained in a catchy cadence just so the kids can remember the lyrics a little easier. Gasoline may be expensive but it doesn't take much to illuminate the entire show. KDot is as explosive as they come [...]
Donovan Johnson, better known as the american rapper XV , comes out of non other than Wichita, Kansas... definitely not the most well known city breeding hip-hop icons, but as they say, there's always an exception to the rule. XV presents his new mixtape Zero Heroes which sounds more like a full blown album than anything. With awesome productions from well known producers such as Jus Blaze, J.Cole, and Seven. XV lays down his fast paced flow full of lyrical puns to make for more than a few jaw dropping moments. To add to the talent displayed by XV himself, [...]
