This song is from the album "Libretto: of King Legend".
The OCS - Hometown (Feat. Glasses Malone, Jay Rock & XO)
The Official Hometown Video featuring Glasses Malone, Jay Rock and XO produced by The OCS.
Uptown XO - Good Vibes
The song sounds exactly like the title: AB The Pro builds the beat around a soothing vibe chord change that XO compliments with unorthodox flow. Mirroring the musical mood, the video's director Blackie T takes us to a late summer barbecue in full effect: savory chicken and hot dogs grillin', homies chllin' and playing cards.
Lyrically, XO makes clear that though skies may be grey at times, good vibes reign supreme. Lines like "The US Government played us like R&B, we were here before the colonies" point to the underlying conviction that fuels XO's tenacious but honest street style.
L'Orange & Jeremiah Jae - Ice Obsidian
From the upcoming album "The Night Took Us In Like Family" coming April 21st.

The Black Opera - Beginning of the End (Feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow)
A Message from The Black Opera:
"What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from."
The Black Opera enlist the Queen Georgia Anne Muldrow to reinforce the multilinear concept of the beginning and the end. This songs nuance stands for power, rebirth, triumph, completion, and exhaultation. It is TBO's audible Alpha and Omega."
About the album:
Trusted with a culture kept under the concrete, the warning has been spread for years. Many assumed their operations were limited to underground societies or secret networks. But, The Black Opera have been among us all along. The time to hide is behind them. There will be no riot; the revolution has already taken place. The Great Year has come.
The newest movement from The Black Opera is truth. After the telling of the three part epic, The Black Op: Era I, TBO has returned without allegory or allusion. The Great Year is a modern story of emergence and art- a resistance to assimilation. It is a story of triumph and camaraderie and a renaissance of new thinking. The new album's influences musically are as diverse as they are aesthetically. From tribal rhythms to overdriven synths and from pulsing drums to intimate vocals, The Great Year's sound is distinctly its own. Taking on a modern day palette, TBO has envisioned a new world, musically. With orchestration from creative minds like Tall Black Guy, Wajeed, yU and Arjun Singh, The Black Opera have assembled a team to help them communicate their message to the world.
L'Orange - Need You (feat. Blu)
A post-apocalyptic Adam & Eve story...
Director's Note - "As a multi-media artist coming from a back ground in performance and video art, the first time I heard L'Orange's "Need You" I was struck with the songs dichotomy of beauty and melancholy.I wanted to create a world, a universe where this song could live and breathe to reveal and tease out the tension of these themes . The gorgeous ebbs and flows of the song partnered with the rhymes of Blu push the boundaries for the possibilities for imagery. With the amazing space of Murphy's Ranch practically in my back yard I was inspired to develop a post apocalyptic Adam and Eve story that again would play off of the themes of beauty and melancholy. Creating a more cinematic and filmic treatment allowed for collaboration with fellow artists to explore this post apocalyptic world where choosing life may mean choosing death." - EmaLee Arroyo.
Diamond District (Oddisee, XO, yU) - A Part Of It All

Apollo Brown & Ras Kass - Deliver Us From Evil
Legendary lyricist Ras Kass breaks it down over soul stirring, head nodding production from Detroit producer Apollo Brown on this eye opener of a track. "Deliver Us From Evil" continues Ras' demolition of the status quo with line after line of sharp minded political observations and clever word play. From the critically acclaimed new album "Blasphemy."
Kenn Starr - Say Goodbye (Prod. Black Milk)
The first visuals from the newly released Kenn Starr album, Square One, are for the Black Milk produced track "Say Goodbye." Directed by Jay Brown, the new video was shot in Kenn's native DMV (DC-Maryland-Virginia) landscape. The vintage Black Milk beat knocks with the familiar ring of his Popular Demand era.

Lord Hakim - Brass Knucklez (Feat. Vast Aire & Phizz Ed)
Hypnotic rhythms, dusty samples, turntable techniques, & intelligent lyricism combine to form Born With A Determined Idea, the debut album from Columbus, OH emcee & producer Lord Hakim, featuring Vast Aire (Cannibal OX), Dom Pachino (Killarmy), Bronze Nazareth, Planet Asia, & Lord Jamar (Brand Nubian).
An Emcee, Producer and Studio Engineer, Lord Hakim is a Columbus, Ohio native, is a Hip-Hop enthusiast to the fullest, but who like many of us, prefers his beats dirty and his lyricism enlightened. “My style of Hip Hop is grungy samples over boom bap percussion with razor sharp turntable techniques; now that’s Hip Hop! When it comes to emceeing, I’m a thinker; it’s all about vocabulary and being descriptive. The thing about Hip Hop is you actually get hear the novel within an orchestrated arrangement and it can set the mood for whatever chapter or track you’re on” Hakim states.
After previously building with Planet Asia (“Scripturez”) and Lord Jamar (“Peace God”), Lord Hakim returns with the visual counterpart for his collaboration with Can Ox’s Vast Aire and Phizz Ed “Brass Knucklez.”
