I was sitting in class yesterday when, right around noon, I started seeing all kinds of talk about a new Kendrick track on Twitter. I was immediately overcome with a combination of elation and frustration. Not only did I have an hour left in that class, but I had to go straight to another afterward… … Continue reading »

[New Music]: Trae Tha Truth – I’m On 2.0 (ft. Big K.R.I.T., Jadakiss, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, B.o.B, Tyga, Gudda Gudda and Bun B)
Time to start catching up from Super Bowl weekend a little bit. Trae Tha Truth decided to drop the latest entry from the “I’m On” series — this one called “I’m On 2.0″ — on Friday, and just looking at the feature list before I even listened to the track had me ready to call … Continue reading »
[New Music]: Azad Right – Growing Apart
Taking on a Kendrick Lamar track is no easy task, but Azad Right did it beautifully. The fast-rising up-and-coming rapper from LA dropped his latest track last night, and the result is nothing less than the musical greatness I’ve come to expect from Azad these days. “Growing Apart” featuring Jhene Aiko – a cover of … Continue reading »
[New Music]: BJ The Chicago Kid & Kendrick Lamar – (His Pain)
Beautiful new track from BJ The Chicago Kid and Kendrick Lamar. Everyone’s heard of Kendrick, but if you’re a fan of Section.80 (and God help you if you aren’t..), you should be familiar with the first name as well. BJ The Chicago Kid is featured on Kendrick’s “Kush & Corinthians,” and that wasn’t the only … Continue reading »
[Mixtape Review]: ScHoolBoy Q – Habits & Contradictions
I really want anyone who’s reading this to go ahead and press play on the video above before continuing. It’s January 14th, and I’m ready to call “Blessed” one of the best songs of 2012. Not the first two weeks of 2012… the whole year. Sounds ridiculous, right? Just remember where you heard it first. … Continue reading »

The Fresh Heir’s Top 40 Hip-Hop Songs of 2011
For Part Two of The Fresh Heir’s “Year in Review” posts, I proudly present the Top 40 Hip-Hop Songs of 2011. I couldn’t settle on a number – I started with 25, but then it slowly crept up to 30, then 35, and at last I decided that 40 sounded nice. Why not go radio … Continue reading »

[New Video]: ScHoolboy Q – Sacrilegious
It’s not like ScHoolboy Q is a secret. As a member of Kendrick Lamar’s Top Dawg Entertainment Label, ScHoolboy has had a big year with features on Section.80, as well as on Dom Kennedy’s From The Westside With Love II and A$ap Rocky’s LIVELOVEA$AP, three of my favorite projects of the year. Still, not enough … Continue reading »
Kendrick Lamar – “Rigamortis” (Official Video)
Earlier today, BlowHipHopTV dropped the highly-anticipated visual for Kendrick Lamar’s “Rigamortis,” one of the many standout tracks off Section.80. After the official video for A.D.H.D., my personal favorite track, released in the summer, I was a little let down. I envisioned that song to have a more cinematic visual accompaniment, but this time around, I … Continue reading »
Kendrick Lamar – Cloud 10
Wow. A dope track from Kendrick Lamar. What else is new? “Cloud 10″ is apparently the official song for the new Windows Phone, and man did that company go up in my book for using K-Dot as their choice of artist. This track is produced by Nosaj Thing, and the beat is crazy. Kendrick goes … Continue reading »
