The G.O.O.D. Music collaborative album Cruel Summer is less than a week away from hitting stores, and lucky for us iTunes released a pre-order for the album which conveniently came with a 9 0 second preview of each song on the album . The official tracklist was released last week confirming 12 songs are on the album, all but two of which are collaborations featuring an array of artists from R. Kelly to Jadakiss , and of course all the usual G.O.O.D . suspects ( Kanye, Pusha T, Big [...]

There are few albums due out this fall that are more hotly anticipated than Kanye West 's G.O.O.D. Music label compilation album, Cruel Summer , which promises collaborations from Kanye and all his famous friends: Jay-Z , Big Sean , R. Kelly , Pusha T , 2 Chainz , John Legend , The-Dream , Kid Cudi and more. (No big deal or anything.) The tracklist is a veritable who's who of everybody who matters in rap — and [...]

As the release of G.O.O.D. Music's Cruel Summer approaches, it appears snippets of each track have materialized on iTunes. Someone took it upon themselves to compile each track and throw it on Soundcloud, and now we get a sneak peek at what this album is going to sound like. We don't really know what to expect from this album, but the features list is quite impressive. The only question that remains is whether or not the execution will be at the same level as we hope. With that said, after skimming through the snippets, [...]

iTunes is now streaming 30-second snippets of all 12 tracks included on Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music' s upcoming group album, Cruel Summer .

A day after Kanye and Co. dropped " Clique ," the G.O.O.D. Music crew is back with the tracklist for the forthcoming Cruel Summer , a record that's out in a couple of weeks. Personally, I didn't need to read past the first track to feel completely amped about the release. Head below to scope it. Read More...

The tracklist for Kanye West and G.O.OD. Music's upcoming album Cruel Summer has been revealed on Amazon.com . According to its product page listing , the album is officially titled Kanye West Presents G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer , and spans 12 tracks. Among the included tracks are the previously revealed singles "Mercy" , "Cold" , and "Clique" (which hit the web yesterday), along with the remix of Chief Keef's "Don't Like" . A new version of "New God Flow" with Ghostface Killah [...]
From what I have gathered, Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music crew will finally release their group debut, Cruel Summer , three days before summer officially comes to a close on Sept. 18. As we inch closer to that date (which will hopefully hold for the sake of the album name if nothing else) we can't help but become caught up in the hype and hooplah surrounding the compilation. It almost seems like it would be difficult to NOT keep up with the random single and video drops, the increasing buzz, and the onslaught of interviews with everyone [...]

When you're Jay-Z , anything you do comes with the highest of expectations. So when Jay announced his own Made In America festival, the world was banking on big things. Judging by day one of the two-day festival in Philly, Hov delivered. He called in a few favors and a pulled out a few surprise guests, because who can say no to Jay-Z? First it was Jay Electronica , and as a special thank you to the crowd and the city of Philly, Kanye West and the G.O.O.D. Music crew joined in for a special set. [...]

Jay Electronica wasn't the only surprise performance at the Jay-Z -curated Made in America festival . Kanye West and members of his G.O.O.D. Music label ( Common , Big Sean , Pusha T) appeared during Jay-Z's headlining set on Saturday night, and performed tracks from their upcoming group album, including "New God Flow" and "Mercy", along with Kanye solo cuts "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Ass" and the Watch the Throne smash hit "Niggas in Paris". Watch footage ripped from the webcast below. The G.O.O.D. Music group [...]

Summer is almost over, and while we have had some good music, we have not yet had any G.O.O.D. Music. We are still awaiting the delayed compilation from Kanye West and friends, now scheduled to drop September 18. At least now we have a (rumored and unconfirmed) tracklist that looks pretty legit, assuring us that Jay-Z , Big Sean , Kid Cudi , Pusha T , and many more will be seeing summer out in [...]
![[News] Full Tracklist for RZA's 'The Man With the Iron Fists' Revealed](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4474275_lg.jpg)
RZA 's upcoming directorial debut The Man With the Iron Fists is easily one of my most anticipated movies of the year (and no doubt Rocko's too), and how could it not be? It's all kinds of Wu-Tang Clan Shaolin love, mixed with awesome stunts, tons of gore, and a killer cast. Turns out the soundtrack is pretty damn amazing, as well. The full tracklist for the official movie soundtrack has been revealed, and it looks to be one of the most stacked movie soundtracks in a long time. Kanye West ? Check. [...]

I love Kanye. I know that isn’t the best thing to proclaim to the world given that he is undeniably one of the world’s most prominent jerk-faces, but I can’t help it. He makes good music, all personality aside. I own everything he has ever made (well, not 808 & Heartbreak …. No one should be that much of a super fan), so I was naturally excited to hear a few months ago that G.O.O.D. Music was releasing his newest project. While it was set to come out in early August it has (somewhat obviously) been pushed back several [...]

e.d.g.e. spits a new free verse over Kanye & Pusha T's "New God Flow" track.

Kanye West has revealed the artwork for his G.O.O.D. Music group album, Cruel Summer , which will be released on September 4th via Def Jam. Here it is from another angle. Below, you can stream the LP's latest single, “New God Flow” , along with the video for the lead single, “Mercy” .

On her first EP, Iggy Azalea has a problem deciding which direction to go, and while it's been proven time and time again that vocalists can rap and sing at the same time, I'm not sure Iggy quite knows how her voice complements the fairly broad musical styles represented. Part of this disconnect comes from her decision to open with the two strongest tracks on the album - including the amazing second track, massive banger "Murda Bizness" featuring label-mate T.I. - while slowly fading into a semi-successful moray [...]

Son album approche, dans un peu plus d'une quinzaine de jour le pion de G.O.O.D Music qui buzz le plus à l'heure actuelle balance son album « Based On A T.R.U Story » . Après Big Sean et Pusha T c'est au tour de 2 Chainz d'enfoncer le clou, Kanye West et sa bande de potes risquent bien de marquer l'année 2012 au fer rouge avec toutes leurs sorties. « I Luv Dem Strippers (Feat. Nicki Minaj) » , on peut espérer un morceau aussi lourd [...]

This month's issue of Complex comes with one crowded cover, with the heads of eight members of the G.O.O.D.
