Kanye West Performs “Black Skinhead” & “New Slaves” On SNL (Video)

For SNL’s season finale, the show brought out Kim Kardashian’s baby daddy also known as the majestic Kanye West for a special closing out performance. The tracks, “Black Skinhead” and “New Slaves,” that Yeezy performed are new material that possibly (but I’m pretty sure) will be found on his upcoming album, Yeezus.

“Black Skinhead” is posted above and “New Slaves,” which premiered in 66 buildings in 66 different locations before it was performed live on SNL, is posted below.

Wu-Tang Clan – Execution In Autumn (Audio)

Execution In Autumn

Soul Temple Music takes “Execution In Autumn,” featuring Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, RZA and U-God, out of the Wu-Tang vault. Wu-Tang Clan reunion album, A Better Tomorrow, on the way… hopefully this year.

K. Roosevelt ft. Hit-Boy – Do Me Now (Video)

Fitted for the summer, K. Roosevelt’s new video for “Do Me Now” has the talented singer/producer and Hits Since ’87 label owner Hit-Boy perform along a gorgeous bay surrounded by eye-pleasing women. Glad the video for the sexy single went in that direction. The warm sunny vibe is perfect for the season.

OnSMASH: A Conversation With… L.A. Leakers (Video)

OnSmash interviewed our own L.A. Leakers’ DJ SourMILK and Justin Credible in their studio at the Power 106. The DJ duo (and your favorite music leakers) talked about their music roles, how they started, why they love representing L.A. and discuss a few of the up-and-coming L.A. artists. They also apologizing for tagging their leaks up… not! They explain why it has to be done, though.

Get to know the Leakers a little better in the interview, posted above!

The Weeknd – Kiss Land (Audio)

The Weeknd, in true The Weeknd form, quietly and randomly released a new song via YouTube titled “Kiss Land.” The seven-minute title track switches up half way into a faster pace. The second half we believe to be titled “John Carpenter” because he snuck that preview in earlier this week.

Yay or neigh?

There’s a lot of pressure for Abel to top his previous albums. We all know that House of Balloons was pretty much perfect.

Chance The Rapper ft. Ab-Soul – Smoke Again (Video)

So my favorite song from Acid Rap has a video? Again, I wasn’t really following Chance until I heard his latest mixtape, which really impressed me.

“Smoke Again,” featuring TDE’s Ab-Soul, is probably my favorite song on the mixtape (I’m a fan of Chance’s sing-songy voice) and the video is equally awesome. Let me give credit where credit’s due: directed by ILLROOTS, cinematography and edited by Dylan Knight and special effects by Anthony Esquivel. Great job everyone! Love that the smoke looks almost 3D.

Can’t forget the mesmerizing production by Blended Babies. Check out the video above.
