In promotion of MGK’s Black Flag mixtape, the Bad Boy artist released his cover of Limp Bizkit’s widely known single “Rollin’.” Check it out and sing along with the video above.
Black Flag is coming soon.
J. Cole is providing fans with a ONE time free entire stream of his sophomore album, Born Sinner. He just wants you to be at a certain spot at a certain time with a certain app and you better have a full battery on your phone/ipad/whatever!
Find out the details below.
BUT, you gotta make sure you’re in THIS specific spot.
Cool coordinates. I know most of you are highly skilled in the use of coordinates in maps. As for me, no. I learned how to read a Thomas Guide map when I was a kid but I think my parents were just training me for adulthood (this was before mapquest, btw). ANYWAYS, I’ll stop blabbering.
LOS ANGELES: The coordinates 34.10157 -118.34108 take me to the Chinese Theatre near Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. The approximate address is 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. If you don’t believe me then click HERE.
If you can’t make it, June 18th is around the corner. You. Will. Survive.
Producer/rapper Chase N. Cashe, along with California lyricist Casey Veggies, perform over the jazzy track “Me & Mine,” produced by Merge & Deezy of The U. Kick back, click play and listen to the track below.
Beyonce provides the motivational soundtrack for the day as she lifts with her lyrics in “Rise Up,” co-written by Sia and produced by Hit-Boy and Chase N. Cashe.

Elliott Wilson sat down for an intimate chat, in front of a sold out audience at the Highline Ballroom, with J. Cole last week and here are the complete four episodes. The two talk about various topics like mixtapes vs. albums, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, producing and everything else you would ask Cole while sitting next to him on a leather couch.
Episodes 2, 3 and 4 after the jump.
Sidenote: these live chats are great. Kudos to everyone involved!

Janine and the Mixtape landed on my playlist as a referral from a friend. I guess he knew I’ve been on a R&B binge lately.
“Dark Mind” is the title track of Janine’s upcoming mixtape by the same name out June 11. I”m pretty sure there will be a bigger buzz for the New Zealand-born artist after the mixtape drops so get familiar now and share the new artist you discovered with your friends.
As a bonus, I’ve included her cover of Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra track “Swim Good.”
Emilio Sparks, on behalf of AlLindstrom.com, met up with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis in New Jersey to chat about the duo’s creative business, homophobia in hip-hop and having their music placed in a box.
Seems like the gang is ready with their fake IDs (you know, just in case) in Statik Selektah’s “21 & Over” video. Mac Miller may be the youngest on set, barely making the cut at 21, but he holds his own over the Selektah beat. Keep your eye out for Joey Bada$$, ScHoolboy Q, Evidence and The Alchemist, who all make an appearance in the Guy Blelloch-directed video.
Statik Selektah’s Extended Play drops June 18.
Wu-Tang’s latest RZA-produced leak holds an appropriate title, “Family Reunion,” and features verse from Masta Killa, Method Man and Ghostface Killah. Be on the lookout for their 20th anniversary album coming later this year.
The cat’s out of the bag. Miguel, Kendrick Lamar (fiiiinally), TLC, James Fauntleroy (fave!) and more will be featured on Born Sinner. 50 Cent, Bas and Jhene Aiko will be on the deluxe copy.
