brand-new-start
To commemorate next week’s Snoop Lion One Life To Live week-long takeover (specifically on on May 28th, 30th, June 4th and June 6th), the legendary soap opera series has released their new theme song featuring soul singer IZA and Uncle Snoop.
As a standalone track, IZA and Snoop really channeled that ’90s feel-good sound. We feel a little awkward about this being the One Life To Live theme song, though.

Only one day after the Black Hippy crew dropped their bars over the Rocko single, Trinidad Jame$ comes through with his own remix. We’re going to take a shot in the dark and say this won’t be the last of the “U.O.E.N.O.” remixes, but this one’s for ATL.
Somebody combine this with the 2 Chainz version for the “Atlanta Remix.”

It probably came as a surprise to most, but Kendrick Lamar’s message in his “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” video was not subtle at all (see: “Death To Molly”). In his sit down with Sway for MTV, Kendrick explains that this is one of the terms that needs to be put to rest because it’s corny and waters down to culture. He goes on to mention that some rappers out there might rap about molly, but don’t really live that lifestyle.
Some trends he approved of that rap spawned? Jerseys and button ups.
If you peeped that Black Hippy “U.O.E.N.O.” remix yesterday, ScHoolboy Q had a little something to say about molly in his verse too.

fat-joe-ft-future-love-me-long
Fat Joe’s been in the headlines all week, but not for music sadly as the BX native is currently facing up to a year in tax evasion. He pleaded guilty in December to charges stemming from over $700,000 worth of income for 2007 and 2008 and could face up two years in prison. While we all await the outcome for that verdict, Joe’s not letting any outside drama be the focus of his life, as he releases his a track with Future.
For “Long Time” he starts Memorial Day Weekend a bit early to clear his head with some new material that the ladies should have in rotation enjoying starting, now. Stay tuned for Joe’s next project, “The Darkside Vol. 3” coming at a later date.

Click image to listen to Daft Punk “Horizon”
We haven’t really sat down with the Daft Punk album like we should have but after giving the Japanese-only release “Horizon,” we might have to tonight. The way it starts, , very spacy and slow, gives you that Pink Floyd I Wish You Were Here album feel. By the time the drums hit, the tune gets a bit muffled and more vintage. It really sounds like an outro or the end of a movie that you float away to on a cloud.
Do remember, Random Access Memories is out worldwide now.
