The Audacity of Dope

It’s early, but I’ll make two statements I’m pretty confident will end up being true: this is one of the best songs of 2015 and Joey’s B4DA$$ is one of the best albums of the year.  J. Cole at the end of 2014 and now Joey, Lupe, Drake, and soon to be Kanye and Kendrick to kick off 2015.  Not too shabby…

btw, Dilla and The Roots on the beat!

Well this is a pleasant surprise.  A while after TiRon & Ayomari’s A Sucker For Pumps was released, they’ve decided to put out a video for one of my favorite tracks on the project, “Her Theme Song.” While I miss hearing BJ The Chicago Kid on the hook, Jeremih is a capable stand in and either way, I don’t know how you can’t like this song.

A limited edition re-release of A Sucker For Pumps is on the way…

Check out this week’s episode of SNSS for new music from artists like Shad, Yogi, 50 Cent, Vince Staples, Blu, Asher Roth, 100s, Tory Lanez, Erik Hassle, Ziggy Marley, Kiesza, Chuck Inglish, BJ The Chicago Kid, and more.  Side note, BJ is completely killing everyone in the business right now.  Every time you see his name, you already know the record is dope!

Enjoy:

With an extended intro, you get a bit of a 2 for 1 with this new video from Freddie Gibbs and Madlib for their collaboration with BJ The Chicago Kid called “Shame.” Gibbs is one of the illest out there and personally, I’d much rather hear records like this than the stuff he does with CTE and Young Jeezy. The good news is that he’s so prolific, it looks like he can actually do both at the same time and potentially appeal to the “underground” and “mainstream” crowds simultaneously (if those terms even exist anymore).  Either way, dude is a beast.

Visuals for the excellent “Hell’s Angels” off Thurz’ equally dope L.A. Riot (side note: RIP Rodney King) project.  BJ’s voice is absolutely ridiculous…does anyone handle harmonies like him these days?

The latest video from TiRon & Ayomari’s excellent A Sucker For Pumps project is an ode to all the truly amazing women out there that deserve the world…and more.  With BJ on the hook, you already know what it is.  Great work fellas.

BJ’s “Dream II” video features footage of his recent trip to one of the best cities in the world, Paris. With all due respect to The Weeknd, Miguel, and Frank Ocean, BJ’s Pineapple Now-Laters might be the best R&B release of the past year or so.  Stop sleeping.

Been trying to tell y’all about BJ for quite some time now. “Good Luv’n” is off his recently released project, Pineapple Now-Laters.  Go cop that, for real.

BJ is absolutely killing the melodies these days…just listen to those few seconds where the beat cuts out…wow. His project, Pineapple Now-Laters, was supposed to drop on Valentine’s Day but it’s been pushed back until the 21st.  It will be well worth the wait.

Parker’s mixtape dropped Christmas Eve and makes a fine Christmas gift to you and yours.  Produced by Tha Bizness and Kuddie Fresh, can’t go wrong!  Download link below.
