After seeing an unfortunate number of push-backs in recent months, Travi$ decides to finally release his anticipated Owl Pharaoh in its entirety. The 13-track project contains contributions from the likes of T.I., Bon Iver, Toro Y Moi, A$AP Ferg, Wale, Theophilus London, Meek Mill and more.

There’s not much we love more than finding an alternative track that has unlimited replay value. That seems to be the case with with Jacques Greene’s new single “On Your Side,” with the Canadian producer linking with experimental artist How To Dress Well in one of the better tracks we’ve heard in a long time. The past few years have given us an opportunity to see different sides of both artists, and their latest offering flows almost effortlessly from to top to bottom. With the combination of mellow vocals and a stunning backdrop throughout, simply nothing could work better as a final product. Make sure you pre-order Greene’s self-titled EP on iTunes, which will be released on June 3rd.

In a move that surprises nobody, the Los Angeles Clippers have declined to offer head coach Vinny Del Negro a new contract. This comes after a terribly disappointing first round exit in the playoffs in a year with such high expectations. This year they made huge steps in the regular season winning their first ever Pacific Division title, but again fell incredibly short of their long term postseason goals.
The remained of this off-season is filled with questions for the Clippers, as their sole focus now targets on keeping Chris Paul. Rumors have been swirling that the superstar is unhappy and may check his options in free agency, which begins in July. No word on what coaches the Clippers will look at but it is guaranteed they will factor in which hire will make Paul the most happy.

Following his Billboard Music Icon Award, Prince hit the stage and performed a new record with his band 3RDEYEGIL on Sunday night. For those looking to hear the record again, the legendary Prince has now made it available for purchase on iTunes. This is certainly that grown folks music, but still contains a hard enough guitar riff to make some noise in the alternative world. Plus, he has a message: FIXURLIFEUP!

One of the perks of being an artist is traveling the world, right? In this short documentary with Is Tropical, cameras follow the band on their trip to Mongolia as they become one of the first western bands to ever perform in the country. In part one of their adventure, they meet orphans with talents and decide to help their orphanage through charity and then they get the privilege of hearing the Mongolian remix of their newest single.
If you haven’t watched the ridiculous video for “Dancing Anymore,” you need to watch that shit IMMEDIATELY and have a good laugh.

--2 Years after the Notorious B.I.G.’s unfortunate passing, Puff Daddy put together the “Born Again” album which we saw Biggie’s unreleased verses thankfully surface. We felt the posthumous album was very underrated as Puffy managed to put together a proper project representing the Bad Boy and Biggie historical movement.
In March, we put together a feature for “Our Favorite Notorious B.I.G. Features,” which we traveled down memory lane to reminisce. We’ve had nearly every B.I.G. video as a throwback over the year, but one we found from the archives was the Puffy and Queen Bee featured “Notorious B.I.G.” From fellow BedStuy native Tracy Morgan fooling during the entire video, Kim still looking sexy and Puffy still on his shiny suit shit; we got a pretty decent tribute video for Biggie.
Today would’ve been the 41st birthday for the late Christopher Wallace.
