[Hip-Hop] Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools (Drank) (Black Hippy Remix) Feat. Jay Rock, Ab-Soul & Schoolboy Q

Kendrick Lamar‘s stellar debut album, good kid m.A.A.D. city, dropped today, and if you haven’t picked it up yet then you’re missing out on excellent tracks like this one right here. While many fans complained about the lack of Black Hippy members on the album when the tracklist was released, those who decided to cop the deluxe version were pleasantly surprised to find a remix to the album’s first single, featuring fellow TDE associates Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. If you needed any more reasons to keep this song on repeat, you’ve now got three of them to add to your list.

[Hip-Hop] Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Pt. 3 (Will You Let It Die?) ft. Jay Rock & Ab-Soul

Kendrick Lamar continues to destroy the hip-hop game letting loose a lyrically powerful track with an old school feel featuring two of his fellow talented Black Hippy members, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock. “The Heart Pt. 3” is an introspective and emotional cut, on which Lamar and co. reminisce about their rise to fame. Kendrick exudes confidence even while admitting his own doubts and second-guessing as his voice becomes raspier and more expressive through out. Soul and Jay Rock hold their own on the track showing why they are two of the most underrated emcees out. Do yourself a favor and grab this awesome free treat below. Good Kid m.A.A.d. City hits stores Monday, October 22nd.

[Hip-Hop] Childish Gambino – Sour Face (ft. Jay Rock)

On Gambino’s most recent project, ROYALTYwe saw him team up with two members of Black Hippy, Ab-Soul and ScHoolboy Q. On Sour Face, CG enlists the most senior member of the crew, Jay Rock, for a track to ride to. Jay Rock’s aggressive, gangster flow fits surprisingly well with Gambino’s approach and this is yet another demonstration of the growth of Donald, exhibiting versatility while maintaining his uniqueness. After hearing this, I am highly anticipating a collaboration with the fourth member of Black Hippy, Kendrick Lamar. My favorite line on this one references the talented and beautiful Alison Brie, who is one of Glover’s co-stars on Community. In the Bay Area, we would refer to this as a SLAP.
