Mac Miller - Matches (Feat. Ab Soul)
"Let's recap, the earth spinning too rapid//
I'm living too fast, sinning's a habit//
I can't hack, fornicate, act this rabid//
One bean short of an acid tablet//
Security guards spark my cigarettes//
The old head go 'head and cop me a brew//
Sometimes them Koreans be cool, these shades make me look 22//
They say you learn when you get older//
I just say that that ain't true//
That just means when you was younger//
You ain't get burnt up like us, fool//
Just got L's so I'm riding high, still in high school but I do//
Everything I will do, when I'm 25, no lie.."
============
ah. youth in it's extremity.
although i didn't live this crazy life aforementioned,
these lyrics show the aspirations and dreams of a troubled yet focused and striving adolescent mindset.
and the production is one of my favorites . enjoy
mind you, we all love to break rules.

Murs - First Love
such a great song
I grew up on Wonder Years. She was Saved by the Bell
I was Boyz in tha Hood. She was ATL
Used to sell weed to her roommate, that's how we met
Old girl didn't smoke, but she had jokes on deck
No disrespect. It's just the way it was
She clowned cause I was broke and always said Cuz
I would clown her for always saying Shorty and Yall
She smiled every time I did my little Southern drawl
Calls became frequent, we'd hang out on the weekend
Started feeling like she's the one Ive been seeking
Didn't take it far. Third base at most
Never sealed the deal, but came real close
I knew that if I hit it, I would have to stay committed
And I was young, 21, man I just wasn't with it
Knew what was coming, and you can't run from it
When a feelings that strong between a man and a woman
[Hook]
She said she wanted more than a friendship
But I wasn't willing to bend
I said I wanted friends with benefits
But I was only trying to pretend
I didn't want you (want you), need you (need you)
Really wanna make you mine
I would never mislead you, look at how I treat you
But girl, you gotta give me some time
So the first time we did it, it was alright
But soon I was creeping to her room every night
Something like magic, I felt I had to have it
Just the right fix to kick my chick habit
You know its always better when youre lovers and close friends
It started getting deep. I kind of felt closed in
I went out and made a stupid mistake
I stopped returning calls, went on a few dates
Of course it got back to where I knew she'd be hurt
But she didn't even trip and that made me feel worse
She showed me all that love after I did her dirt
Now I'm feeling like Im the scum of the earth
She left for break, and didn't leave her number
I thought about her every single day that summer
A sucker, for trying to keep it on the under
Said next time I see her, I'mma tell her that I love her
[Hook]
She said she wanted more than a friendship

I didn't want you (want you), need you (need you)
Really wanna make you mine
I would never mislead you, look at how I treat you
But girl, you gotta give me some time
Woulda swore I was student the way I was waiting
For the new semester to begin
The very next day I ran up to campus
And ran into one of her friends
I made small talk; I didn't want to seem lame
Or too anxious, but when I said her name
The tears came. She started to break down
I can still see the look on her face now
Through the tears, I could hear Drunk driver
Crash, accident, there were no survivors
She trying to continue to describe it
But just couldn't take it and she ran off crying
Lying if I said I wasn't filled with regret
I cried for three hours sitting down on them steps
But even though youre gone, your memory lives on
And for all I did wrong, I dedicate this song
To my first love
This for my first love

How Jadakiss And Styles P Are Bringing Juice Bars To The Hood [INSIGHTS]...
You don’t have to be a legendary rapper in order to help your community, but it certainly helps.
Jadakiss and Styles P are bonafide hip-hop heavyweights whose careers have spanned three decades, but their legacies may be solidified by something other than their music.
Through their chain of juice bars, Juices For Life, The LOX members are looking to provide a much-needed place for people in low-income neighborhoods to consume something good for them. These neighborhoods are often referred to as “food deserts,” since access to nutritional food is virtually nonexistent.
Styles P said, "In the poorer communities, mostly, the money gets invested in liquor stores and the kind of things we don’t need."
Jadakiss and Styles P are leading by example and looking to put an end to food deserts through their Juices For Life locations, but they aren’t alone.
Jeff Brown, the founder and CEO of Brown’s Super Stores, a chain of grocery stores that offers high quality and nutritional food at affordable prices, said, "What Jadakiss and Styles P are doing, they’re successful, and they don’t need to be concerned about society... They’re deciding to use their success to make a difference for people. I think if we all did that, we’d fix a lot of our country’s problems."
With its three locations, Juices For Life is giving people unprecedented access to nutritional options in the Bronx and Yonkers, New York, with hopes of expanding in the near future.
Stretch & Bobbito ‘Radio That Changed Lives’ Trailer ft. Eminem

The late night program had a cult following in the art/fashion world and prison population as well. All would loyally tune in for the humor just as much for the exclusive tunes. Stretch and Bobbito brought a unique audience together, and created a platform that changed music forever.

STRETCH ARMSTRONG
Stretch Armstrong is a New York-based DJ/Producer with a worldwide reputation. Starting out playing at the now-legendary downtown clubs like Mars, Nellâs, and MK, Stretch earned a reputation as an exciting newcomer that was not afraid to take chances and be original. He gained a popular following playing the latest hip-hop, reggae, and house music, packing dance floors with a seamless, aggressive mix. Though it wasn’t till he landed a time-slot on Columbia University’s WKCR (89.9FM) that things really heated up on a much grander scale. Once a week, beginning in the winter of 1990, the Stretch Armstrong Show broadcasted Stretch’s 4 hour hip-hop mix, which featured new music from New York’s best, as well as a mix of breakbeats, past classics, freestyles, not to mention his irreverent on-air antics with his co-host, Bobbito. The Source Magazine named The Stretch & Bobbito Show the best hip-hop mixshow of all time, recognizing the cutting edge, aggressive nature of the show, and its role in breaking such legends as the Notorious BIG, Jay-Z, Nas and Eminem, as well as rap icons Mobb Deep, Brand Nubian, DITC, Big L, Wu-Tang Clan, Busta Rhymes, and many others.

JP ONE "Human Nature" @CHOSEN1JACKPOT Official Video Shot By: BHughesTV
"'Human Nature'" is all about how one aspect of life effects the next one," says JP. "I used a metaphorical story to tell the tale of how a father's decision to not be in his daughter's life leads to her making bad decisions with men. I hear a lot of stories of females whose moms' promiscuity lead to them being sexually assaulted and then being promiscuous themselves, so I wrote a song about it." Fire & Brimstone is out now on Gifted & Talented, LLC.

Seouless - Xxplosive @Seoulessmusic
heavyhustle.com | Twitter [@seoulessmusic] | Facebook
Instagram | Twitter [@iampierrefresh]
Korean-born, Los Angeles-bred rapper Seouless presents the Pierre Fresh-directed music video for "Xxplosive", his song over the Dr. Dre classic of the same name. Seouless was featured on All About The Business, the 2009 mixtape from his younger brother Blue Dream (listen on Datpiff). Seouless also has two other videos out now for "Never Wife Em" (watch) and "M.M.M." (watch), from his forthcoming album No Days Off. "When Chronic 2001 came out, I was a naive seventh-grader who knew nothing about life, but thought I knew better," says Seouless about the track. "I was on a plane in early 2014, on a flight to the east coast. I had Chronic 2001 playing out of my headphones, and when "Xxplosive" came on, it all hit me. I was reminiscing about my childhood and where I was at that current stage of my life. I wrote the song on my five-and-a-half hour flight, and recorded it as soon as I got back into Los Angeles, which was literally a day later." Also in the works from Seouless is a KPOP project produced by producer Jim Naze.
