Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, better known as Majid Jordan, aren’t the only OVO Sound signees making major waves in the music industry. Jahron Anthony Brathwaite, who goes by the stage name PARTYNEXTDOOR, has been busy making a name for himself the past few months. The Canadian R&B singer released his self-titled mixtape in July, and has now released two new tracks for the Fall. The song “Candy” is a boastful R&B track that features West Coast…

It didn’t take Kanye long enough to show off his megalomania once more – the interview with Zane Lowe had barely started when he 36-year-old rapper said “people are going to be talking about this interview in five years time”. Thing is, that may very well be. During the course of 60 fist clenching cringe-inducing minutes Kanye addressed anything and everything, from Lady Gaga to jogging pants, and from the Internet to being the biggest…
Aesop Rock, early 2000s. (mushrecords.com) “People can label me whatever they like. I don’t really care any more…I get told that I’m weird—but you forget that the whole reason you liked [Boogie Down Productions] in the first place was because you never heard anything like that before.” – Aesop Rock, quoted in the Harvard Crimson, 2003 As Ian Bavitz was writing the songs that filled out the 70 minutes of Bazooka…
Eminem has unveiled the full-length video for his new song, “Berzerk” – a video which pays tribute to the Beastie Boys’ “So What Cha Want” video, with the distorted, photo negative background and Eminem’s delivery and dress. The video features notable appearances, including Kendrick Lamar, Rick Rubin, Kid Rock and Slaughterhouse. Still, as much as I was excited to see new work from Eminem, especially something going back to ‘vintage Slim’, he didn’t really seem…

It’s been four years since Jay-Z released his last solo album, The Blueprint 3. While that was his last solo offering, he also worked on the album Watch the Throne, a collaborative effort with Kanye West. In many ways Watch the Throne was the introduction to a new Jay-Z, one who is enthralled with name-dropping high-end brands and seems almost impossibly unrelatable. On Magna Carta he’s become even more interested in both expensive clothing…

From theberry.com. There’s something about the rapping style of Ben Haggerty, otherwise known as Macklemore, which is so story-like that it makes it so ear-worthy. Even with his hit Thrift Shop, you can’t help but love it because it’s such a story, and a funny one at that. The American rapper seems to be taking the Hip Hop scene…
