Less than a week ago G.O.O.D. Music‘s Big Sean released his powerful video for his Dark Sky Paradise record ‘One Man Can Change The World’. Today we have another new video, this time for the LP’s other Kanye West collaboration, ‘All Your Fault’. The Mark Mayer direction and the dark visuals goes well with the track, so definitely don’t sleep on this one!
Watch the official music video for ‘All Your Fault’ below.

Last month, singer/producer Mike Posner shared a huge sneak peek of his forthcoming album. Contrasting greatly from his hip-hop influenced college-pop tracks circa his hit-record ‘Cooler Than Me’, Posner has discovered a whole new sound. In an email to fans, Mike wrote “So I’m very hesitant to sound douchey like I’m trying to sell you something….I’m just EXCITED. If you want to stream the Truth for free forever, here’s the link …that’s totally cool with me. BUT, If the music does something for you and you’d like to support me as a patron, you can purchase the TRUTH EP here. I love you guys.” Mike finished the email with a big thank you to his fans,
“Thank you so much for allowing me to not get a real job and focus on making this art for you. Again, these are four songs from the upcoming album.”
Buy The Truth now oniTunes (you won’t regret it) and check out our review of the EP here.
The man that brought polos and backpacks to rap, who made shutter shades huge (before college kids killed their appeal), who reminded Sway “It ain’t Ralph tho”, Kanye West himself, has been named GQ’s Most Stylish Man Alive. Minutes ago, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian-West shared the cover for GQ’s “The Most Stylish Men Alive” issue, with Kanye front and center. A man who has been on a non-stop campaign to spread his fashion influence on the world for the past few years and whose shoes re-list on eBay for thousands, was likely an easy choice for GQ. This accolade comes just months after Time named Kanye their “100 Most Influential People” list.
Travis Scott released a new track hours ago, which is for “the real fans” and “the real ragers”. While we love the new record, producer Mike WiLL Made-It must not be a “real fan” as he sent a subliminal tweet aimed Scott’s way. “N*ggas dropping songs trying to sound like @iHipsterLee (Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee)” tweeted Mike. While Mike WiLL didn’t mention Scott directly, the timing and context of the tweet made things pretty obvious. It will be interesting to see if Scott, who has a unique sound of his own, will respond to the ATL producer.
Listen to ‘Antidote’ and check out Mike WiLL Made-It’s tweet below.
