“King Kunta” is one of the highlights from Kendrick Lamar’s new album, To Pimp A Butterfly. My favorite part is when he disses rappers who use ghostwriters.

Wale’s new album, The Album About Nothing, is released today, “The White Shoes” its first single. And it’s quite the song. Not only does Wale deliver his primo rap, which never fails to flow beautifully, he actually sings on this one. And it turns out he can sing. Better than Kanye West, in fact. Not…

We love dark hip-hop around here. Especially the melancholic stuff. And this gem by Vision the Kid and Tru featuring Ben Burwell is oozing with melancholy. We must admit that we weren’t familiar with any of these artists prior to this video, but we’re quite glad that we’re finally in the know. From the slick…
