Today rapper Charles Hamilton shared a photo on Twitter of himself with none other than the Queen B, Beyonce. We knew Charles Hamilton was making a comeback, but if the two are working on music together, this would definitely be a huge cosign and collaboration. Although, we wonder how Jay-Z feels about this photo, considering the fact that Hamilton dedicated a song to the couple in 2011, titled ‘Is Beyonce Really With Jay-Z?‘
Check out Charles’ latest single ‘NY Raining’ with Rita Ora.
A new track from A$AP Rocky’s forthcoming At.Long.Last.A$AP (A.L.L.A.) has leaked! The new track, which pays homage to Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘What’s Beef’ record of the same name, is fire. A$AP shouts out the Migos and P. Diddy, spits over a classic A$AP screwed hook, and definitely is a good preview for Rocky’s upcoming LP.
Roc Nation’s newest member, Chicago’s Vic Mensa, made a stop at Sway In The Morning during his recent visit to New York. Sway asked Vic about a number of topics (and there has been a lot to talk about lately) and of course he had to get Vic on the mic as well to spit a little bit!
Watch Vic’s full interview and freestyle with Sway below.
Out of nowhere, Run The Jewels (Killer Mike and El-P) released a music video for their standout Run The Jewels 2 track ‘Early’, featuring Boots. The animated video was done by Bug & Sluzzy and details the track’s lyrical themes.
Leaked by the Kanye West fan forum YeezyTalk, a new snippet from a Young Thug song has hit the web. The track, titled ‘Freaky’, is produced by Thugger’s good friend and “Rodeo Tour” partner, G.O.O.D. Music’s Travis Scott. It’s also rumored to feature Kanye West, so stay tuned as we get more information on this amazing collaboration.
SAVEMONEY has combined forces once again, this time on the Leather Corduroy’s (Joey Purp and Kami de Chukwu) Ikaz Boi and Myth Syzer produced record ‘Have U Eva’. Recruiting Vic Mensa on top of a fire instrumental, you definitely won’t want to sleep on this track. Have U Eva heard a SAVEMONEY track this hot in 2015??
Vince Staples blew us all away last year with his Hell Can WaitEP. Then this month he kept things going, as he dropped his new single ‘Señorita’, off his forthcoming debut album, Summertime ’06. And now, if the single wasn’t hot enough, Vince just dropped an amazing music video for the album’s first single.
It’s Michael Christmas’ 21st birthday! And to celebrate, the Boston rapper shared a new track, titled ‘Home’, with fans on his Soundcloud. “Because it’s my 21st bday today and I’m home for it,” Christmast wrote to fans. In the new song, Christmas shows and describes his home pride.
Earlier this week Kid Cudi shared a snippet of his new music for fans on Twitter. Although Cudder quickly deleted the tweet, the low quality snippet lives on. No word yet on whether or not this track will find its way on Kid Cudi’s forthcoming Speedin’ Bullet to Heaven album, but we can’t wait for that LP to hit the internet!
Earlier today, Kanye West received his honorary doctorate from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Honored for his vast contributions to the arts, through both his musical accolades and his role and influence in fashion, The College Dropout spoke to his fellow SAIC graduating class for his Graduation day. While Kanye dropped out of Chicago State University (just 13 miles south of today’s ceremony) over a decade ago, as he felt that a college education wasn’t the best ticket for his success in the music industry, his late mother, Dr. Donda West (who was a professor at Chicago State University) would have been more than proud to see her son finally walk for his graduation.
Check out our photos below, as we sent our photographer Dan Garciato capture some of the ceremony’s best moments.
