Tyler The Creator Set To Conquer The Internet w/ Very Own Subscription-Based Web Channel

Posted on:

Tyler The Creator is getting ready to bring his Loiter Squad antics to epic new levels, inking a deal that will bring him to the masses through his very own web channel. It was announced that Whalerock Industries, the company that brought Glen Beck to some 400,000 $10/month subscribers nearly 4 years ago (yikes) will be adding a few more channels to their network, with Tyler leading the pack of Kardashians and radio renegade Howard Stern, all slated to be fit for a similar deal. The service will provide both free and paid content through the web and app-based distribution, hopefully providing the prolific Odd Future figurehead with…

Your Old Droog Drops Off The Complete Instrumentals To His Brilliant Debut LP

Posted on:

When his Your Old Droog‘s debut LP finally hit the presses and put to rest any suspicion that he might, in fact, be Nas, the world could finally stop sleuthing and just focus on the music. Your Old Droog offered a brief return to vintage-era production sounds and bonafide lyrical acrobatics–a pairing that isn’t completely missing from today’s hip-hop landscape per se, but is seemingly ever more difficult to find. Now, three months since the drop of Droog’s full-length debut, the instrumentals to the album–all 18 of its tracks–have been put up for streaming on Soundcloud by the …

Big Sean & Kanye West Link Once More On New Single “All Your Fault”

Posted on:

The steady downpour of new Big Sean cuts continues on. The GOOD Music MC has yet again dropped a new track off his upcoming 3rd LP Dark Sky Paradise, a ceiling-shaking joint that seems to have it all–monstrous bass, rattling trap hi-hats, moody choral lines and, yes a Kanye West feature. “All Your Fault” found its way online earlier today and carries the dark, maximalist aesthetic that has come to define the GOOD sound at almost every sonic juncture. The raps? They’re big boast-fests. The hook? It’s a pining love confession. Are there ample one line zingers? Absolutely; who else…
