Big Sean Pushes Back Debut Album Release Date
All G.O.O.D. things come to those who wait. According to Rap-Up, Big Sean‘s debut album, Finally Famous, has been pushed back to June 21st. Don’t fret boys and girls, it’s only a month and a few weeks more than the original May 3rd date.
If it makes you feel a little better, Big Sean revealed a some facts about his Kanye West collaboration, “It’s kind of like super special. It’s something people are going to be able to party to and has a great message at the same time. It’s just me and him going at it. Pause. I’m really excited about it. I can’t wait for the public to hear it.”
I do it.
Video: Chip Tha Ripper – The Entrance

Video: The Five One – Closing Time
I’m a 90’s alternative freak so when I heard this song I immediately recognized the Semisonic hook. Classic. Check out the D.C. hip-hop band’s video and listen to the light-hearted lyrics. Great afternoon song. Swag!
This Video takes place mostly in the beautiful city of Paris. When The Five One found out that they were going to be spending a little time in Europe, they took the camera along, got together with some friends in the city, and let Jacque le BLUE (BLUE’s alter ego) run through the streets of Paris, France to find his mortal enemy VERT Cousteau (GREEN’s alter ego).
The Original video for Closing Time is undeniably a classic 90s music video and instead of spoofing the video which is what i think most ppl might want and expect, we happened to be in Paris and decided to make use of our scenery and just have fun!
Video: Snoop Dogg ft. Young Jeezy & E-40 – My Fucn House
Doggumentary in stores now.
Audio: Lupe Fiasco ft. B.o.B – Who Are You Now
This B.o.B-assisted track didn’t make the final cut on Lasers but it’s still here for your listening pleasure. According to TSD, Lupe Fiasco claims if he would have kept that song that he would’ve wanted to get Cee-Lo Green or Janelle Monae to complete a third verse. That still should happen!

Mixtape: DJ Quik x LA Leakers – The Audio-Biography Of David
Where to begin?!! DJ MOTHAFUCKIN’ QUIK!! For those that aren’t familiar with our audio-biographies, this is basically an audio book with Quik telling stories of certain songs through his career. To me, Quik is the most overlooked West Coast artist PERIOD! I know he’s mentioned a lot, but I don’t think he’s mentioned enough in comparison to all the classic material he’s put out and produced since the late 80’s. Dude NEVER disappoints! His new album, “The Book of David”, is no different. It drops on 4/20! Make sure you go support one of the few artists that’s still putting out quality music these days! Huge thanks to Fuzzy Fantab and the whole fam at Cashmere agency.
