After Kid Cudi announced to the world via twitter the release date of his upcoming album INDICUD, April 23rd if you missed it, the mighty internets have brought us the tracklist. The features on this thing are insane. Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, J. Cole, Common, Ratatat, and MGMT to name a few. If this is real…we may have the album of the year already in April. Take a look below to see for yourself.
Mixtape Cole is back with Truly Yours. We’ll let the man himself summarize this one…
It’s time. I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have. Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space).
Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born SinnerPS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.
The original version of “24k Of Gold” appears on Big Sean’s Detroit mixtape, minus the Raekwon verse. Mixtape Cole tears through the track, and the chef delivers a verse that is sure to have you vibin. The remix featuring J.Cole and Raekwon appears on Key Wane’s recently released So Many Keys mixtape.
Download and stream the song below.
Loso gives fans a Thanksgiving Day treat, and released The Soul Tape 2. The first one was great, and so far I’m really feelin’ this one. Features guest appearances from Pusha T, J. Cole, Wale, Trey Songz, Joe Budden and Cassie. Download and tracklist below, let us know what you think!
Thank you Cole! In light of the 1 year anniversary of the release of Friday Night Lights, J.Cole drops “Miss America.” The track is the first single from his upcoming album Born Sinner, set to release January 28. I’m feelin’ it. Thoughts?
I thought their collaboration was never going to see the light of day, but I now have hopes again. Maybe this is sign of good things to come… Check it out below. Cole has been on a mean streak production wise lately, thoughts?
It’s going to be a non-stop music weekend, and why not start it off early with this week’s “Week that Was.” Here’s a playlist to listen to in between the stops to all the Lollapalooza pre parties, after parties, and Lollapalooza itself.
