Yooooo, now this is a banger. I already love Miguel’s song ‘Waves,’ but with the addition of Travy for a remix… fire. EVERYONE is on a wave right now. Last night Kanye had Twitter LIT. He changed the name of his album SWISH to Waves. So dang excited for this one.
But anywho, listen to that ‘Waves’ remix below!
What a time!
I think this song will grow on me, but I must admit it’s not my favorite. It sounds a bit generic, and I really think Drake saved the track. No, I’m not just saying that because he’s my favorite. But without his verse, the song would be RiRi repeating ‘work work work work’ with a sound similar to her debut single ‘Pon de Replay.’ Serious. I think once I see the visuals, I’ll like it a lot more too! But regardless, I love that we’re finally getting new music from the Barbadian babe. And rumors state that ANTI will be dropping on Friday.
So listen to that new new featuring my boy Drizzy Drake here.
This is a complete californyinz moment. Wiz Khalifa stopped by my favorite radio station, Power 106, to promote his upcoming album Khalifa on The Cruz Show. J Cruz gave him a beat, which happened to be Adele’s ‘Hello,’ and the Pittsburgh native freestyled over it.
I sort of dig it, actually. Watch below! And Khalifa comes out on February 5 with features from Chevy Woods, Rico Love, Travi$ Scott, and his three-year-old son Sebastian.

Could it be? The supposed YOLO mixtape we thought Drizzy and Rozay were working on is coming to life? Well, maybe not but Rick Ross has rounded up Drake for this new track ‘Empire’, which is featured on J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s new LP titled For All.
The heavy-hitter album is stacked full with tracks featuring Chris Brown, R. Kelly, Future, Kevin Gates, and way more. Check out the tracklisting below. And more importantly, listen to the new Drake track. And I know the image below isn’t the clearest – it was all I could find.
So this remix of Kanye’s ‘Black Skinhead’ was just leaked and was recorded after the 2013 VMA’s. Miley exited the stage and went with Kanye to the studio to record it. The track opens with Miley, Kanye had the same verses, and there are overlays of Travi$’ voice.
I dig it.
Listen here! Hopefully it won’t get taken down!
I know it’s Tuesday, but Kanye gave us new music yesterday, so I have to share even though I hope yinz have already listened to it.
New Kanye x Kendrick below!
And although the song is called ‘No More Parties in LA,’ I have to apologize to Mr. West because there was definitely a party in LA on Saturday. Birthday post coming soon!
I actually live for videos like this. He sings along to the debuted R&B jam before making the recording studio his stage.
We got another bangerrrr! There is talk that he could be working on another mixtape called After the Party, which would be the follow-up to his mixtape Before the Party. Makes sense.
Watch C. Breezy break it down in the studio below!
While this playlist only has 10 songs (it will grow), they are 100% the tracks I’ve been listening to on repeat, and I suggest you do the same. From new Kanye to DJ Mustard and The Weeknd and more, I guarantee you’ll be vibing out to these songs just like me.
Yesterday, I also attended a networking event for millennial women and the lovely Karen Civil was the keynote speaker. Can’t wait to share info about that with you and why you should definitely be following KC on all social media, as well as why you need to buy her book!
Happy Monday, yinz!
Final version here!!
It is a G.O.O.D. Friday for sure!
While I don’t have the song ‘Real Friends’ here just yet, #KanyeTweeted saying there was an issue with the loop of the song, but he’ll put it back out shortly, I want to have this post ready for yinz to easily access his new song.
He also previewed a snippet of a new song featuring freaking Kendrick Lamar. If that’s not an ultimate collab, I truly do not know what is. Well, unless Drake and Usher hopped on a track together. The song is called ‘No More Parties in LA.’
According to Ye’s deleted Tweets, ‘No More Parties in LA’ was produced by Madlib with the intro produced by Ye himself. And ‘Real Friends’ was also produced by the Chi-Town rapper. Featuring a sample from Ghostface Killah’s ‘Mighty Healthy’ that Kanye also used on ‘New God Flow’ with Pusha T, the same sample appears to be heard on ‘No More LA Parties.’
If G.O.O.D. Friday’s do in fact start again, I will be a pretty happy camper. In 2010, Kanye released a new song every Friday leading up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. And I’ll tell you right now, that is one of my favorite albums, so I’m hoping for the best with this series, as well.
So sit tight, and check back for the songs!
Majid Jordan and Kendrick Lamar are back with two new tracks. Some of you may not be too familiar with Majid Jordan, but they’re a Canadian duo (part of OVO Sound) who make beautiful music! I listen to them a lot at night when I’m getting ready for bed or just trying to be productive.
Listen to their new song ‘King City’ here! Their self-titled debut is set for a release on February 5. Looking forward to it!
Now I hope yinz all know who Kendrick Lamar is. He premiered his new song, ‘Untitled 2,’ on Jimmy Fallon tonight. I absolutely love that he’s getting so much POSITIVE recognition. The Compton native recently performed in LA over Christmas – a free concert to residents in the area. And he also was the Grand Marshal for the Compton holiday parade. He shows so much city pride. Kendrick is also up for ELEVEN Grammy nominations. That is one less in a year than MIchael Jackson’s record-breaking 12 noms in 1984. Incredible. I love it.
Watch his performance below!
Also, Kim tweeted. See below. You Kanye fans should be super pumped about this. I know I am! Looks like Ye might be bringing back the GOOD Fridays format for SWISH! Yeeeeee.
