RIP Dolla

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Dolla, he was a Los Angeles x ATL based rapper that had recently signed to Akon's Konvict Music before his death. Exactly 3 years ago he murdered in the parking lot at the Beverly Center in Los Angeles. At only 21 years young, he had a huge buzz and was destined for big things. Take a minute and listen to Dolla's classic "Make A Toast."
Curren$y - "Capitol" feat. 2 Chainz

Curren$y (aka Spitta) gives us an amazingly chill song, with a flute in the back. Definitely a song to sit back and listen to. 2 Chainz, of course, is in on the feature, and he sounds better with this type of slower beat. Check it out!
Jay-Z - "I Just Wanna Love You (Give It To Me)" [Throwback Thursdays]

From Jay-Z's Dynasty album in 2000, this classic shows Jay-Z having a great time with his success, trying to attract all the women. Looks like he got the best of all of 'em in the end, but definitely entertaining to see him do it in this video! Pharrell provides the infectious chorus! Check out this classic!

The Belgian artist Selah Sue enlists upstart rapper J.Cole - one of our newer favorites here at TNJ - on the remix to her smash "Ragamuffin." J.Cole does his thing and flows well over the smooth beat, and Selah Sue has quite an exotic sound. Check it out!

50 Cent shows the public a pretty awesome video of his hard track "Ni**as Be Schemin." Kidd Kidd goes hard, but 50 Cent is at the top of his game here. Check out the story and video! Pretty cool!

Gambino goes hard in "Unnecessary", which is rumored to be the first track off his upcoming mixtape. Featuring Schoolboy Q, who holds it down as well, expect this joint to have all the qualities of a classic Childish Gambino track.

DJ Premier, my favorite producer of all-time (okay, Dr. Dre and Kanye West are up there too), talks about the state of hip-hop, the evolution of the craft, and his past and future projects. Pretty awesome to hear a legend talk about the art! Check it out! Thanks to GWHH for the interview!
