freeonsmash-nick

In the past, Howard Stern and Nick Cannon had a rift that lingered until Howard joined “America’s Got Talent” last year with Nick already being a show presenter. The two have since reconciled and have developed a b’romance together on set every week.

Last winter, Cannon stopped by the Howard Stern show and admitted some personal sex-life details that he and Mariah Carey became target of the tabloids due to normal “guy talk” on the show. Two went on to discuss their past sexual experience (orally) before their wives, with their past girlfriends having a bad smelling lower region and explained how they broke it down to them of having the scent.

Nick also opened up about producing for Nickelodeon at the tender age of 17 which he cited Amanda Bynes as a sister. Cannon has tried to reach out to Bynes recently but hasn’t had success due to a new management team. Listen to the interview in its entirety above and check after the jump for a special video excerpt from the show.

After building on his consistent run of releases with the admittedly stunning “Disappear,” Mikky Ekko returns in style for his next official single. Those who are familiar with the singer will be aware of the sound that Mikky strives for in his content, and he links with Benny Blanco and John Hill for an anthem titled “Kids.” We can’t wait for his album to finally arrive, but for now you’ll be able to purchase the single on August 13th, with the option to see him on tour with Jessie Ware throughout the year.

What’s Your Favorite Track From J. Cole’s “Born Sinner” Album?

IMG_3486

J. Cole was just a rapper trying to find his spot in the game, a year in which a handful of breakout artists arrived on the scene, when The Sideline Story dropped. While under the watchful eye of Jay-Z at Roc Nation, one could assume the pressure was on the Fayetteville emcee.

Fast forward a little under two years and Cole is ready for his return, but this time he’s doing things a little different. Originally scheduled to be released on June 25th, Jermaine pushed the Born Sinner release date up to compete with none other than Kanye West’s album, Yeezus, on June 18th. A bold move from an artist with a fraction of a career his peer has had, but a respectable move at that. With “Power Trip” still tearing up the radio and Billboard charts, and “Crooked Smile” featuring the legendary TLC to soon be on the same path, Born Sinner provided just what the fans wanted.

A balance between radio hits, introspective records (“Runaway”, “Rich Niggaz”), and lyrical showcases (“Villuminati”, “Chaining Day”) is exactly what Born Sinner was anticipated to be. With discussions of who will sell more between himself and Kanye, J. Cole’s promotion for the album almost took care of itself outside of his most notable $1 shows as apart of his “Dollar & A Dream” Tour. Time will tell what Born Sinner ends up being but one thing is for certain. J. Cole is making it known why he is not one to be slept on. Now that the day has arrived, we want to know your favorite track is.

Check out our team’s picks after the jump.

What’s Your Favorite Track From Kanye West’s “Yeezus” Album?

kanyewestyeezus

Today is a monumental day in hip-hop, and the majority of that has to do with a new effort from the one and only Kanye West. Yeezus is Kanye’s sixth solo album and follow up to 2010′s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . Kanye’s entire promo run for this album was different than anything we had ever really seen before, because it was full of mystery and unorthodox methods of releasing material (see: no artwork, screen projections, etc.). Some doubted whether an album was even being released.

Though the album surprisingly leaked on Friday, it should be no surprise that Kanye is still projected to do big sales numbers in the first week. The album instantly sparked critical response from media outlets & debates throughout Twitter. Now that it’s in stores, we ask you the people – “What’s your favorite track from Yeezus? Check out the OnSMASH staff picks after the jump. and then leave your pick in the comment section.

Which Funkmaster Flex Freestyle Did J. Cole Spazz Out On The Hardest?

c1

While in promo route on his “Dollar & A Dream Tour,” J. Cole took time from his hectic week of the album release to kick a few bars for Funkmaster Flex at Hot 97. Cole starting things off heading down to Shaolin and spitted a few lyrics “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit” before he took it up to North Queens in Lefrak for “Blood Money”; and finished up with things going ham to drop an “Ill Bomb” in the perfect setting.

Juicy J’s Trippy album is sounding like it’s coming along quite nicely and this one does a great job at solidifying that idea. Grabbing Wale and Trey Songz to assist on a beat that has plenty of bounce to it just what “the trippy kit” asks for. While we still wait for a release date for Trippy, “Bounce It” will hold you over from the second you hit play.
