Matt Lauer and Kanye West haven’t had the best history, to say the least. Now it seems like things have escalated even further. What started with an appearanceby Kanye on the Today Show with Matt Lauer in 2010, led to a series of tweets by Kanye, voicing his frustration. “While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the ‘MTV’ under me with audio!” Kanye tweeted. “I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it!” Ever since then, Kanye didn’t seem to forgive or forget, as he addressed his dislike of Lauer during one of his famous Yeezus Tourrants, just over a year ago.
You guessed it, OG Maco’s new 11-track EP 15 is here! 11 tracks may be a little much for an EP, but we aren’t the type to complain about getting more music. The project has production from Metro Boomin and TM 88, and can be streamed in its entirety below.

And now more and more signs point to Kanye and Vic’s first performance of their Sia and Cashmere Cat produced collaboration.

A week ago, the phrase “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” meant nothing to you and now it’s a Drake album that you weren’t even expecting. After releasing a surprise album on iTunes for fans, Billboard is reporting that Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late album is expected to sell more than half a million copies by the end of its first week. If 500,000 wasn’t enough, it is also expected that IYRTITL has a “serious chance” of exceeding even that half a million estimate.
Grammy nominated producer/DJ Alesso has premiered his latest track ‘Cool’ on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show yesterday. The song, which features Roy English, is the follow up to Alesso’s worldwide hit song ‘Heroes’. Look out for Alesso’s upcoming debut album out later this year via Def Jam Recordings / Virgin EMI. ‘Cool’ will be available for purchase on February 17th in the U.S, but you can listen to the new dance track below.
Listen Big Sean’s remix and verse of Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late track ‘Used To’. Like always, Big Sean comes hard when he hops on a track, and this time is no exception. No word as to whether Big Sean was originally supposed to appear on the song, or if he just felt inspired and compelled to hop on himself, but the verse is hot either way. Check out the remix below and be on the lookout soon for Big Sean’s forthcoming Dark Sky Paradise album.
Today, Death Grips have released a new video of almost twenty minutes of rehearsal footage. This is the latest move in a string of strange activity from the group since the release of their last album, niggas on the moon. From break-up letters written on napkins, creating fake but not actually fake Twitters, and surprise releasing a soundtrack where all the end letters spell out “JENNYDEATHWHEN”, the group has been seriously messing with it’s audience.
Is Lil Wayne following the path of Drake and releasing a surprise album on iTunes just one day later, this time for free? A week ago Wayne tweeted, “Free album. Free Weezy season. The Free Weezy Album. #FWA”, suggesting that fans would soon receive a free album (separate from his Sorry 4 The Wait 2 mixtape). And now today, using the same #FWA (Free Weezy Album) hashtag, Wayne tweeted that he “hit sent”. Did he hit send on submitting a free album for fans on iTunes or perhaps somewhere else? Yesterday we speculated that Drake may have released his If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late album to finish his contract with Cash Money before the release of his highly anticipated View From The 6 album. Lil Wayne can’t quite do the same since he re-signed with Cash Money for four solo albums (we doubt he hit send on a few albums today), but he just may have something up his sleeve to get at Cash Money, along with his $51 million dollar lawsuit.
[Update: According to YMCMB preisdent Mack Maine, the album is NOT dropping tonight, despite reports]
