Video :: Liquor/Zero | Chris Brown

There's something in this liquor
the air is getting thicker
I can't help but to stare at you...

Chris releases a dual visual for his current singles 'Liquor' and 'Zero'. In the 9 minute and 29 second vid, he uses a story line to intertwine the songs together... along with some crazy dance moves. Keep a look out for his upcoming album, Royalty. Watch the mini movie after the jump::

Day 1.

I made the mistake of not charging my phone before heading to Philly. My car charger croaked on the way. By the time I walked in MIA, I was on about 38%. I snapped what I could on this day, but didn't get as much as I liked.

Video : Come Get Her | Rae Sremmurd

And they fine?
Hop the line...

A fun country twist. One of my faves on the album.

An Ode to Eminem :: Joe Budden releases new video "SlaughterMouse"

***UPDATE from 9/19 post- Video Added.

We're less different
than we are alike...

While Joey revs up promo for his All Love Lost album, he releases a new track from it called 'SlaughterMouse'. The track, not in comparison but in essence, is that of Kanye's 'Big Brother' cut to Jay-Z. No dissing involved... just a release of thoughts and inner feelings. Since Joe is a lyricist, you already know this was executed with precision. Take a listen below ::

"Never mind skin color... I see beyond the white"

Freestyles & Laughs :: Watch Tyler, the Creator x ASAP Rocky's Tour Trailer

For the Rocky and Tyler tour featuring Vince Staples x Danny Brown, the co-headliners decide to release a tour "trailer". Two totally different worlds balancing out to something lit. Press play below. For tour dates, which kicks off September 19th, click HERE.

Runnin' (Lose it All) | Naughty Boy x Beyonce x Arrow Benjamin

Memories turn to dust
please don't bury us...

British producer/songwriter Naughty Boy (who has worked with heavy hitters such as Rihanna, Sam Smith etc.) releases a semi-up tempo ballad assisted by Beyonce and Arrow Benjamin. Bey's vocals prevail powerfully all the while Arrow's tenor tone evens out the cut with welcomed male notes. A nice mesh. "iF I lose myself, i Lose it all......"

Video : Brand Name | Mac Miller

You don't want this life I live
You'd rather had the wife and the kid...

For his latest visual, Mac takes a dab into the 'Truman Show' movie premise to compliment the conscious theme of 'You don't want this life'- where nothing is real. GO:OD AM is out now.
Watch below::

Photos :: Alexander Wang's 10th Anniversary .. "Do Something" feat. ASAP Rocky, Kanye West, Jhene Aiko + More

2015 marks the 10th anniversary of fashion brand- Alexander Wang. The popular designer honors the occasion with an array of celebs dressed in his t-shirts/athletic wear in photos. The t-shirt is $45 (hoody $85) will go to the charitable organization Do Something - a charity of 4 million members devoted to creating social change by volunteering and making 'the world suck less'. The list is 38 folks long, but just to give you a synopsis... include, ASAP Rocky (~~lordt he looks good~~), Kanye, Kate Moss, The Weeknd, Pamela Anderson, Taraji P. Henson, and much more (including the ones displayed below). NY fashion week is coming in a few days. Are you ready?

This reminded me of Wonka.

Ahh NY. A place I've grown to love over the years. This adventure was for Afropunk at Commodore Barry Park. Day 1 only. Pt. 2 of the weekend will be in a completely separate post. After editing the photos, I'm actually starting to think I may need 3 parts. We'll see. As you get further in this post, there are photos and videos used from others (noted in the credits). I couldn't get any good shots of the stage oddly AND the videos were just the same. Charge it to the lighting.

Starting from the hotel... take a glimpse into the day..

This is the only snap where I have the full outfit. The shoes matched the glasses. I wish the photo was clearer.

Room key

This should have been an album. Seriously. Rozay did his thing on this one.

Listen to his latest mixtape below::

Video :: Tell Your Friends | The Weeknd (Produced by. Kanye West)

Sometimes I'm so busy with other projects
I miss time to blog.
THEN sometimes within those times
when I have free time... I want to relax.
THEN there are times like these...
when I play catch up :-).

Thank you all for the support.
It means more than I can explain.
