factz does his thing and gives a run at kanye’s “power”. unfortunately, this one falls flat. honestly, it just sounds like rhymes he could’ve spit on any beat, done over a beat that no one should touch. just one bear’s opinion though. thoughts?

has this ever been done? terius drops a trilogy of music videos in one sitting. i haven’t seent the video yet, but i’d imagine there’s a handful of beautiful women and a fair share of crooning. the three songs (“nikki pt II,” “abyss” and “yamaha”) are all on love king, in stores now.

i mean what better way to celebrate a remix of a song called “super high” than to throw wiz khalifa and currensy on the track? ne-yo’s still on the hook and every stoner has another song to bump to while you guys smoke out of a bong and/or smoke the marijuana like a cigarette. that’s what people are doing these days right?!

i don’t ever hide my love for incubus, so it’s only natural i’m posting a brandon boyd solo effort that sounds like an incubus b-side. since there’s no new full-band material coming out anytime soon due to the hiatus, i’ll be checking in frequently with BB’s camp.

well, as you may or may not have heard, skateboard p is taking the reigns for the despicable me soundtrack. he’s gonna be writing and producing a slew of tracks, many of which you can find here. fun fact: these were co-produced by hans zimmer, so big ups to p for getting his name out to a completely different demographic. these sound pretty awesome after a quick skim-through.
