New Music: Kid CuDi-King Wizard

Since the release of his album “Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager”, many have felt that Kid CuDi has fallen off musically. He’s experimented with a band, WZRD and hasn’t put out a s0lo album since “Man on the Moon II”. He’s planning on releasing his new album “Indicud” though in 2012 and so far what we’ve heard from it sounds good. Here’s the latest single he dropped, “King Wizard”

New Music: Kendrick Lamar ft Dr. Dre-Compton

His album is coming in 20 days, and Kendrick decided to give us a tracklist and another song yesterday to get a little more hype. Kendrick Lamar and Dre worked together on “The Recipe” and they’re at it again with another song about the West Coast. Give it a listen.

Lil Wayne to release “I am Not a Human Being II” in November

After finally releasing “Dedication 4″ it looks like Lil Wayne is ready to give his fans some more music. RapUp.com reported today that Wayne will release “I am Not a Human Being II” in November of this year. He released “I am Not A Human Being” in 2010 and the album was less than spectacular, like most of Wayne’s recent work.

New Music: Frank Ocean-Blue Whale

Frank Ocean dropped this new song last night, and I like it a lot. Keeping up the momentum from “Channel Orange”, Frank keeps pushing out great music like this. This track that he dropped last night on his Tumblr page is more rapping than usual from him, but the quality of the song is still great.

New Music: Kendrick Lamar-The Art of Peer Pressure

I have no idea whether this song is on “good kid, m.A.A.d city” or not, but it leaked today and it’s pretty sick. Like most Kendrick Lamar songs, it’s sick and worth a listen

New Music: Lloyd-Swimming Pools(Drank) Remix ft August Alsina

When I first saw this, I was hoping it wasn’t another R&B singer trying to rap. Thankfully, Lloyd stuck to his R&B style on this remix of the Kendrick Lamar song. It works really well and is definitely worth a listen. The song will appear on his upcoming mixtape, “Playboy Diaries”

Kanye West talks about the concept of “Cruel Summer”

Some people may not like Kanye, but we all know by now that he puts a lot of thought and time into his music. He produces a lot of it and made all the last cuts on “Cruel Summer”. In a recent interview, he talks about “Cruel Summer” and a lot of the concept behind it.

“We spend just as much time working on the actual album packaging, the video concept, the song… Everything is equally as important. It got to a point where I had to have the artwork in front of me while I was working on the songs, and I would listen and say, ‘Does this song sound like this packaging looks?” Kanye said.

He also talked about other artists, and how he gets mad at people who make good music.  ”I like when I get mad at music because it’s so good. It’s like, oh shit, why didn’t we think of that? Why didn’t we do that?”

You can see the whole interview below, and check out “Cruel Summer” now.

New Music: Lupe Fiasco ft Bilal-How Dare You

With Lupe’s “Food and Liquor 2″ getting ready to drop in five days, we get another single off the album with a hook from Bilal. It’s pretty good and with the album coming so soon, it’s the last push for attention. The album could also be the last we see of Lupe, who claims he’s going to retire after he drops the album.
