You have heard the annoying clichés from up and coming rap artists before. “My debut is going to be a classic just like so and so” or “The drug game wasn’t appealing to me anymore.” Truth is these scenarios did work for small fraction of MCs, such as Nas and Jay-Z, respectively. The problem is […]

Kendrick Lamar is keeping it all the way West Coast on the shoot for his Dr. Dre-assisted single, “The Recipe.” The rapper’s Black Hippy group-member School Boy Q released a few of the flicks from the set and from the looks of it, those sunny Cali skies—plus a bevy of beauties— played a lead role in the shoot.
