If you watch the whole 7 min clip, at the end of the video is Ye's BET interview. Overall a pretty ill video..

Ryan Leslie Studio Session with Fabolous and Keri Hilson

Keri singing in gibberish is an ill example of how hits are put together and music is written. The beat is illy.

Production Credit: J.U.S.T.I.C.E League - Maybach Music 2

To listen/download, Click HERE

J.U.S.T.I.C.E League produced this track and went loco. Listen to the different layers of string instruments throughout transitions, the Rhodes piano or live sax player that adds element after element to provide a ridiculous track.




Maybach Music 2 ft. T-Pain, Wayne and Kanye off of Rick Ross' latest album, Deeper than Rap.

Album releases April 21st (next Tuesday)

New Track - Want You

Pure pop track! A vocalist, group or an artist like Pitbull would fit this well.

Rock The Bells '09 Tour

I went to the '08 show at Merriweather and it was mean. I was at the festival for something like 10 hours and got to see Tribe, Mos, Nas , Wale , Q-Tip, etc. The line up this year looks mean but not has ill as last years!

I'm eventually going to write a brief review on this tape but I don't have time right now and I wanted to post it up to pass the word. Great talent and I'm hoping the production on this tape is illy.

DA of Chester French stated something along the lines of..

"The first rock band to ever release a Hiphop mixtape weeks before their debut"

Denim - Last Week's Rotation

New Track - 3rd Floor

Tour the skyyyyyyyy

Wale - Penthouse Anthem

Wale - Penthouse Anthem

Production was done by a producer within his team (which I genuinely respect, providing up and coming producers a opportunity). A different, cool feeling type of Wale flow.

Asher Roth - Live Performance (Cannon and Be By Myself)

" You know the world's gone mad when blacks are wearing plaid and Mariah went and married Nick..." lolol , this is old but this cannon track is obviously one of his notables.

Wale in the ATL/ Late Pass on Chillin

When was the last time an artist from DC was making noise like this in the ATL?



ALSO, if you haven't heard his new single that released a few weeks ago, check the link below.

Kanye West Cover for Complex - Production Video

I know that I am crazy late on posting this but did anyone check out the behind the scenes production video ? Chris Milk is very talented, which is evident within the cover for this issue. But I wonder the amount of artists that get the opportunity to assist with the design of their cover, make suggestions, changes, etc.

Regardless, Complex does a pretty good job providing the information their target market demands without crazy clutter.

Denim - Levi's x CLOT x Kazuki Denim

I honestly never got into Levi's like that (own one black pair). I'm not a huge fan of the material used within their denim and I think the Levi's 5 series are overrated, but these are actually clean. I like the two slightly different shades of color from the front of the denim to the back and the CLOT logo was placed well on the back bottom pocket and not somewhere crazy.
