New single off of Kid Cudi's upcoming album Indicud, dropping April 23rd. The release is expected to feature appearances from Too Short, RZA, and Kendrick Lamar. Grab those noise-canceling Bose headphones, carve out a warm niche on the couch, and dive into Cudi's world.

A new fad flooding local dog runs.


An Amazing Clip of Adele Saying 'Fank You'

Since we're all tired of Adele's tedious and insignificant love life, now seemed like the time to post a magical supercut of the Grammy-winning singer "fanking" everyone, over and over. Enjoy.


Killa Cam with the Killa Van

Cam'ron's Purple Haze automobile is thriftier than Ryan Mackelmore's thrift shop. Unfortunately, it seems like he only shops one flavor of ice cream, however purply it may be.

A day in the Life of Kid Cudi

Tabi Bonney: "I don't work a 9-5, I just rhyme"



Claiming he makes music for the cool kids, Tabi Bonney is becoming a common name on many hip-hop music sites. His beats have a house feel to them and he transitions from singing to rapping, mixing it up with every song. In "galaxy" and "Nuthin But a Hero," he seems to be in the Wiz Khalifa mold. Listen and  see what you think.

A changeup: Minus the Bear

Unique rock band from Seattle, Minus the Bear has a Sublime feel to them, with a soothing beat to relax the nerves. They have been said have sounds that are "Pele-esque guitar-taps and electronics with sophisticated time signature composition." This indie rock group was formed in 2001 and have released four albums. The song I Lost All My Money at the Cockfights was on their album Highly Refined Pirates. Listen and enjoy.

Food for Thought

Common, aka Common Sense has revolutionized he hip-hop world with his unique flow and his iambic lyrics. Known as a lyricist, but better labeled a poet, Common features Kanye West in "The Food" on his album Be.

Arguably his best album, Be includes other star studded tracks such as Go, featuring John Mayer, Testify and Real People. Listen to his other tracks, but not before you download this unique track.

Classic Tribe

Here's a vintage hit to relax and unwind. One of the smoothest beats until today, "Electric Relaxation" has set the standard for rap music, let alone setting the tone for the personality and legacy of A Tribe Called Quest forever.

One of my all-time favorites, expect more Tribe in the coming weeks as we are searching for a consistent pace of new and old.
