Lupe Fiasco Remixes J. Cole’s ‘Everybody Dies’ And Seems Jealous

December 13, 2016 by N3 On The Track in News, Hip-Hop

Have you ever noticed that whenever fans praise a rapper’s lyrics or deem him or her one of the greats, it seems to bother Lupe Fiasco?

For example, he seemed to be annoyed a couple of years ago when people were falling head over heels for Kendrick Lamar. If you recall, Lupe said a lot of rappers were better than K Dot, and he kind of downplayed all of the critical acclaim he was receiving.

This time around, the ‘Kick Push’ rapper appears to be bothered by the overall talk surrounding J. Cole’s 4 Your Eyez Only album, so he remixed the song “Everybody Dies” and admitted that other rappers getting attention frustrates him.

“Too many best rappers, not enough best rhymes, though / Guess I’m delusional, used to doing it all the time so / Maybe I’m just jaded / Out to touch and unrelated / Unable to connect greatness based on the person who makes it / Or maybe I just hate it,” spit Lupe.

Of course, it’s possible the Chicago rhymer is merely engaging in friendly competition, and he doesn’t have anything personal against Cole.  But if you think about it, why haven’t people like Cole, Kendrick, Chance The Rapper and other like-minded MCs openly embraced Lupe?

Better yet, why hasn’t Mr. Fiasco rolled out the welcome mat for those particular rappers or worked on a bunch of songs with them? Again, it seems like Lupe doesn’t like other conscious rappers getting props, and he wants to always be considered No. 1 in that area of Hip-Hop.

You can check out his new N.E.R.D. song below.

Kanye West Met With Donald Trump At Trump Tower This Morning [VIDEO]

December 13, 2016 by N3 On The Track in News

Kanye West outed himself as a Donald Trump fan last month.

Then he was taken in for a psychiatric evaluation that lasted days.

He’s better now, and this morning he was spotted entering Trump Tower for a meeting with the President Elect.

WATCH: @KanyeWest at Trump Tower #elevatorcam pic.twitter.com/I4FpM57S1x

— CSPAN (@cspan) December 13, 2016

According to TMZ, ‘Ye requested the meeting, and The Donald granted it.

No word on what was discussed, with Trump telling reporters after the 15 minute meeting that they are “just friends.”

But given Trump’s team’s struggled to get an A lister to perform at his inauguration, maybe ‘Ye will make his return to the stage on January 20.

Jonny Virgo - Kids In The Rain Part 2 (UK Submitted)

December 08, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Kids in The Rain Part 2 is a cheerful hip ho banger linking good times, nostalgia and production from Polish supremo JF. London rapper Jonny Virgo spits double time on a chilled soul vibe, with a catchy chorus, dope lyrics and a track that works it right.

Jonny Virgo is a rapper and producer from South London who makes interesting, off the wall hip hop. His music fuses the boom-bap of drums with lo-fi synths and genres from deep house to calypso via dubstep and dancehall. He is a true live star, tearing down venues with visual stage shows, off the top freestyles and a desire to make sure that any venue he touches is set the fuck off.

Aaron Rose - Parkside Ave (prod. by J57)

December 08, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Rap

Take a trip to Pro Era rapper Aaron Rose’s stomping grounds on “Parkside Ave,” the grimy new single from his much anticipated new EP, Elixir.

Whereas previous single “Swank Corleone” was a straight-up banger, “Parkside Ave” showcases the Brooklyn artist’s ability to flow effortlessly over a grittier instrumental. It comes courtesy of J57, who provided a majority of the beats on Elixir. And on this track, his production is all murk and head-nodding drums.

Of course, the artist formerly known as A La $ole uses the Boom bap backdrop to his advantage, especially when nearly blacking out during the final verse. It’s another impressive display of just how technically gifted Rose is as an emcee, but more importantly, it’s another reminder that Elixir is shaping up to be one of the year’s finest Hip-Hop releases.

“Parkside Ave” can now be streamed, and is available for download as the second instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for Elixir, which drops next Friday, December 16th, via Coalmine Records.

The Xtraordinair$ feat. BoomBaptist - Do Your Shit

December 08, 2016 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop, Funk, R&B/Soul

MelodySoul is extremely proud to present an exceptionally talented production duo based out of Kansas City, MO. They go by the name of "The Xtraordinair$" and are comprised of producers Leonard Dstroy & Dominique Sanders. The duo has a knack for combining various styles that combine like Voltron to form elegant, soulful rhythms and grooves with just the right amount of abstraction. The album is a proper fusion of Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz, Neo-Soul, and Funk, combined with exceptional lyricism, high quality performances and artistic prowess from all contributors.

X ESSENTIAL is the sophomore release from the production duo, and it is a true exercise in collaboration, which has always been at the heart of MelodySoul. Numerous local musicians (in Kansas City) were brought in to record segments to give it that live, jazzy feel. The track list is oozing with dynamic versatility. There is a little something for everyone.

The album is an exceptional piece of art that we are very proud to present. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Features include: BoomBaptist, ChromadaData, Jonah Christian, Anthony Saunders, Lindsay Olsen, Miles Bonny, Reggie B, Churchboi, Ubiquitous, Stik Figa, Kutty Slitz, Reach, Joc Max, Barrel Maker, Lee Langston, Peter Schlamb, Andy McGhie, Eddie Moore, Hermon Mehari, Paula Saunders, Jimmy Dykes, Sherwin Keith Rice II (King)
