Kendrick Lamar (@KendrickLamar) x Lady Gaga(@LadyGaga)– ‘B**ch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’
‘B**ch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’ from Kendrick Lamar’s debut album good kid, m.A.A.d City was originally suppose to feature Lady Gaga but her version failed to make the final cut due to creative differences with the management.
But today, Gaga release the original / demo version of the song featuring her vocals on the chorus. The audio is accompanied by some footage shot in Rio and backstage at a show in Colombia. I must say I agree with Kdot’s management, the original version sounds better. (Wonder What Jon Think?)

Lana Del Rey (@LanaDelRey) – Bel Air (Video)
This video is……..weird, to say the least, but it fits Lana Del Ray and her music. No real information was given (though we know her upcoming EP Paradise is due November 12th), aside from her cryptic hint at some film named Tropico…

BEHIND THE SCENES: Saigon (@TheRealSaigon) Feat. @MarshaAmbrosius – Game Changer
Saigon is just one of those folks who will never truly get his respect….not sure why (could be the extended time he spent away from his career while in prison), but I definitely look forward to his upcoming project. Above, he speaks with MTV about his latest single ‘Game Changer’ (along with the still sexy Marsha Ambrosius).

Deuce Ducartier (@DeuceDucartier) Feat. Fat Trel (@FATTREL) – “Boy I’m Groovy”
I’ve never heard of this artist (the below description seems to indicate that he’s from D.C., but his Twitter says Atlanta, so I don’t know for sure), but seeing as his musical style is a somewhat welcome difference to the mundane shit I’ve been hearing from here (and the fact that he managed to hold his own beside the usual destroyer of beats Fat Trel), I’m interested to hear more from the guy.
From the director who brought you “INVINCIBLE” and “Planet Rock” comes a new music-video masterpiece—a journey deep into the world of Deuce Ducartier. In this epic adventure on film, Deuce takes the viewer from his stomping grounds in D.C. to the groovy landscapes of Los Angeles. In the video, Deuce winds his way through the streets of Georgetown to a D.C. Nightclub where he meets up with one of the DMV’s finest, Fat Trel, then it’s across the U.S. to Venice Beach, Cali, and Melrose, ending up in Beverly Hills for a few recognizable cameos.
Lil’ Mouse (@MouseMyers) Feat. Lil’ Durk (@LilDurk_) – Katrina (Video)

Lil’ Reese (@LilReese300) – Walter Payton (Video)
While this song isn’t my cup of tea (and I’ve only heard what’s in the trailer), I can certainly see Lil’ ‘Beat A Bitch‘ Reese (not my words) becoming a star in the veins of, say….Chris Brown.
