WZRD (KID CUDI x DOT DA GENIUS)

‘Brake‘

This is the kind of Kid Cudi music I enjoy. A little bit extrovert, psychedelic and weird. Haha. WZRD is the latest project from the G.O.O.D. music artist Kid Cudi & producer-friend Dot Da Genius and they’re set to unleash their début collaborative project in January 30th. If the album is anything is like his mixtapes and debut record then I’m excited. This track has a horror film vibe with the heavy guitar, real drums and slowly built up vocals.

TINIE TEMPAH x J. COLE x WRETCH32

‘Like It Or Love It‘

As Tinie Tempah gets ready to release his much anticipated mixtape ‘Happy Birthday’ in the build up to the release he graces us with an unexpected collaboration which features UK’s very own Wretch 32 and Roc-Nation artist and man of the moment who is also supporting Tinie on tour J. Cole. ‘Like It Or Love It’ sees all three artists going at it, and mind you this track has already set the tone for the mixtape, produced also by UK producer SX.

Like It Or Love It.. I’m sure you’ll love this one. Tinie’s mixtape is due to be released next week.

SHONTELLE

‘Ten to One‘

Shontelle has been likened with Rihanna on many occasion’s since stepping out with her debut ‘T-Shirt’ and although I think that they are two completely different artists. This latest song from the songstress does nothing to discourage the comparison. It’s the fact that she has moved away from what was a very urban sound to a dancy floor filling sound reminiscent of Miss Fenty. However this is not an official single nor will it appear on Shontell’s next album, it is purely a gift she gave to her fans on thanksgiving to showcase what sounds she has been experimenting with. It’t nothing groundbreaking but it’s nice to hear someone transition to a more uptempo sound without it feeling forced and copycat.

LUPE FIASCO

‘The End of the World‘

Lupe Fiasco has solidified himself as one of the finest rappers in the game with three brilliant albums, the most recent of which is ‘Lasers’. ‘End of the World’ is off his recent mixtape ‘Friend of the People’ which I am currently listening to, and this track stood out for me. With motivational lyrics and a catchy hook, this track’s play count on my iTunes is guaranteed to rise very quickly. Favourite lyric – ‘The people united will never be defeated’.

SEASON FINALE! I hate that this episode left me wanting more and the wait is going to be epic as always with HBO series. Wonder what decision Ben will make after last week’s Crisp by Yosi nonsense? Will the money overshadow his friendship? What will René do about the Yardies? As you can tell, I really don’t want to ruin this episode for you. Watch it after the cut.

Sorry, I’m a little late with this. My mac has issues so spent the morning trying to fix it and get Dope Quotes done, whilst watching the show myself. This was one of the most believable episodes, I won’t spoil it for you guys! when everything seemed to be going right for Ben and Cam, they hit a stumbling block. Hop on after the cut to see what it is.

Oh Rachel. In the Sauna. Watch below.

Hello Gina Gershon. This week’s episode is dope, not very believable but still pretty dope with Pharrell, Yacht parties, Jamaican x Latino beef and more. Opening scene is one you’d not want to watch at work, make sure you have headphones. Right I’m not spoiling this episode! Gina Gershon though…something else, the type of woman who’d get any man into trouble. Head on after the cut to watch it.

I haven’t watched this myself but you know me, always will to share so here you go. I’ve spent the past hour trying to get rid of a STYE that has randomly appeared on my left eye. Rude. I can barely open that eye at the moment. Might have to make myself an eye patch for the commute, guess I could pull it off because it’s Halloween today?! Le sigh. My plan is to run to Selfridges and buy a pair of glasses. Tom Ford. No prescription so I can wear it just for fashion/hiding stye purposes. Ya dig?

Ah great start to the week with a brand new episode of How To Make It In America. Not quite as lively as last week’s episode but still pretty damn good, a few new storylines have been introduced this week. I won’t ruin it for you! let’s just say I was a little disappointment with the opening scene. They could have shot it the same way as last week’s scene, you already know which one I’m talking about. It was a glorious.

Money, Power, Private school. I’m watching the episode whilst getting ready for work, see this is what Monday mornings should be like. Well add a jog at 6am to the mix then it would be perfect but my body wanted/needed that extra 30 minutes of sleep. Hop on after the cut for a little bit of inspiration in the form of HTMIIA.

2 different streams, let me know if they go down.

Technically don’t have to be awake this early for once but my body just naturally gets up around 6:45-7. Sigh. I have a blood test to go to around 10, haven’t had one in years but they need to check if everything is fine, minor check-up. Last week saw the return of HBO‘s award winning series ‘How To Make It In America‘ and what a bloody start it was to season 2. The momentum picked up where it left off in Season 2 with the boys returning from Japan with a fully manufactured collection of clothing. Only to get stuck on the Metro and miss their brand Crisp’s launch night. I’m about to watch episode 2, join me after the cut.

2 streams just in case one dies. ENJOY.

I would love to give you guys a breakdown of the episode but I haven’t actually had time to watch it myself. Rushing to get ready for work and not looking forward to the sauna-esque commute on the Central Line. In fact, I’ve started going in a little later than I used to but can’t do that today with the Monday morning meeting. Right I’m off to try and make it in London, hop on after the cut to see a few statesiders do the same in New York.

It’s not where you’ve been but where you’re going. Real talk right there. One of the many things that made me fall in love with this show – it’s real and relatable. You get to see the character’s struggle to success, this is the story of them making it. If you want to see a TV show of folks showing off what they’ve made and living the ‘life’ then go watch Entourage. It’s made by the same people! go watch Season 1 online or on Sky before Season 2 of How To Make It In America kicks off in September. Peep the trailer on the reverse.

I hope Kid Cudi gets a bigger role this season.
