G.O.O.D. Ass Weekend

Ok, so apparently ticket giveaways have ended, but I still have to let you know. This weekend is gonna be BANANAS.

1. G.O.O.D. Fridays will definitely coming with heat.
2. Friday Night Lights will be dropping from Killa Cole


LAST and I dare say most importantly, Heineken Inspire is throwing a concert with NaS, Cee-Lo, Pete Rock, Diplo, Roxy Cottontail, and a Surprise guest. To be quite honest, if I didn't know any better I would think that this was even a G.O.O.D. music track collabo coordinated by Ye. I really cannot think of a better weekend in the fourth quarter for music!

FYI we're going to be getting on the fashion tip sooner than later, and we're starting out with these clean kicks that are a result of a Heineken and Gourmet collabo.

Premo and J. Cole and Drake...WORD

DJ Premier may be from what young hip-hop listeners would now consider the “old school,” but he wouldn’t remain one of the most revered producers more than twenty years into his career if he didn’t know how to adapt to the culture’s evolving landscape. Preem’s revered ear is for more than samples; he’s got an ear for the new generation’s rising talent, as well. In a recent interview with the legendary hip-hop architect he revealed to XXLMag.com that he hopes to work with rising stars J. Cole and Drake.

Somedayz

It seems that rhyming over this beat has become a Rite of Passage of sorts. J. Cole did it on The Warm Up and now K.R.I.T. made a video to share with us. Check it out below.

Out With the Old and In With The...Bun B???

Haha, in all seriousness though...J. Cole put together a dope tribute to the trillest in Hip-Hop, Bun B. This actually reminds me of another older one that we'll put up soon.

Freddie from GI

Those of you who don't know, you should be aware that Freddie Gibbs is and upcoming gangsta rapper straight out of Michael Jackson's hometown of Gary, Indiana. As far as content, I'll take a stab and will say that it's safe to say his songs are the exact opposite of the King of Pop's. Anyways, check out this quick piece of cinema regarding this talented rapper who was just recently on the XXL Freshmen 2010 cover alongside Gasoline Dream favorite J. Cole. Also, be sure to cop his mixtape, Str8 Killa No Filla and his highly anticipated EP Str8 Killa.

Killa Cole in Concert

Gasoline Dream favorite, J. Cole will be performing at SOBs on March 30th. If you've heard only some of the material that's been posted in the past, you definitely need to be in attendance, and when tickets are $15 for arguably THE best lyricist out you have no excuse.

Tomaaaa

Those of you who follow the blog know that in my following J. Cole, I became familiar with Toca Tuesdays. Toca Tuesdays is radio show of world famous DJ Tony Touch. He's worked with just about everyone who's actually got talent in Hip-Hop and continues to do so. The show is every Tuesday from 8pm to 12am on Shade45/XM 66.

This past year has treated the show wonderfully, and in an attempt to get even more followers they decided to put out this mixtape containing all of the freestyles from the artists who came through. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but it's definitely starting to remind me of Sway and King Tech's legendary radio show out on the left coast.

Anyways...enough talking download it now

J. Cole & XV

I apologize for the tardiness of this video, but while I was browsing through the archives at Nahright, I found this video of Cole and his boy XV trying to go rhyme for rhyme with the Heavy Hitter DJ Enuff. Check it out.

JAY-Z & J- COLE Star is Born

My favorite leak so far.
People who are hating on the other songs have to listen closer. The man still has out of this world word play. Listen to Jay like he's teaching an AP class and these other cats are just a real tough teacher in a normal class. You have to dig a little deeper to get the best stuff.

Plus J-Cole is doing his thing.

Back to the Topic with Killa Cole

J. Cole just posted another freestyle via his blog and twitter. I'm posting it, so it's definitely worth a listen. Actually, it's pretty damn good so click on this link now.

"Basic hoes, toss em out / can't even get Waffle House"

SMH...Waffle House is like literally 3 dollars...damn. By the way, they have a twitter account check it out on their website for free coupons.

Lights Please

More J. Cole! Mixed and mastered! He's signed and the record is about to release...in the meantime listen to this...oh so real.

J. Cole - Lights Please

Cole Killin' it for NC

It's officially no longer a buzz, J. Cole at Shade 45 with Tony Toca. Check it out.

"Even them white girls trying to be my princess / But I only f*ck with sistas like incest"

Killa Cole

Alright, this is late as crap, but I can't afford to get sued by J. Cole, Jay-Z, or Roc Nation. Here's a really interesting interview he did a while ago too with Complex. In all seriousness, dude is nice. Not as consistent that yellow boy who used to play up on Degrassi, but a bit more lyrical and a lot more "Hip-Hop". Lookout below if you're trying to see what he's about.




The Warm Up

NC Ready to Roc

So I'm doing miscellaneous stuff on my laptop, and my fellow LSC afilliate, Rafat, hits me over the head with this news flash about some dude. Can't say I'm chugging the Kool Aid at the moment, but the clip is decent. I saw a couple of posts on nahright but they never really caught my eye. The man's name is J. Cole. He is apparently the first to sign to Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation. Hailing from NC much like on of my favorite duos, Little Brother, it looks everything might be a go...especially since his mixtape, The Warm Up, is supposed to drop today...and Jay-Z is cosigning...not that it really means anything
