“Will Calls (Marfa Demo)” – Grizzly Bear
Very impressed with this new Grizzly Bear single. A surprisingly bluesy ending too… “Will Calls” is supposed to be a bonus track on the reissue of their 2012 critically acclaimed album, [Shields]. …Which I must admit myself, is a very good album. …I gave in and got the vinyl for myself when I ordered a few for the store. …The song “Gun-Shy” is too dope! smh
Anyways, posted the new song “Will Calls”, as well as a few of my favorite song’s from the [Shields] album. Enjoy…

Watch the best cover of Chance The Rapper’s “Cocoa Butter Kisses” ever…
Watch the best cover of Chance The Rapper’s “Cocoa Butter Kisses” ever…
Yo this is probably the first time I’ve actually highlighted a YouTube cover, but this one is necessary. 15yr old singer Jessica Hoyle wore that track out….
Yo, no lie… I was grinnin’ the whole time. haha. …The girl is talented. And choosing to cover this, and cover it so well, was pure genius. #CareerMove
…Such a sick tone & delivery. Just as tricky as Chance‘s. (ergo why this cover was so dope). Must be a Chicago thing.. But either way. Back to the song. …Maaan, when she sings that first “I miss my cocoa butter kisses”, (smh) …you know it’s real! haha… lol
Beautiful voice. Great find. …And beyond the covers, her original work is just as good if not better. Sings, song writes, and plays… Way better quality then you’d expect. #SuperImpressive
… Jessica Hoyle may be an amateur now, but I would NOT be surprised if you hear her name down the road… Had to post. “Cocoa Butter Kisses” – Jessica Hoyle (Chance The Rapper Cover). Enjoy…

BONUS: Between this chick voice, her delivery, and her outstanding songwriting ability… she’s gonna make some record company a lot of money. That I grantee.
Yo this chick is super cute. lol No way she isnt ready made for the spotlight. Justin Bieber eat your heart out. (shrugs) …idk I just wanted to say that. No but seriously though. She’s American heart throb material. Just image what she would sound like in a studio… smh
RANDOM: This just reminded me of an early homemade Childish Gambino video he did in his room with his friend playing guitar in the background. Super dope video (and song) actually. Had to revisit. Wanted to share with you guys.

Jay Z & Beyonce (Allegedly) Fired Their Bodyguard For “Freaky” Behavior
AllHipHop reports:
Jay Z and Beyonce may have fired their bodyguard for some of his activities with a prostitute, according to a recent report.
Rumors had been circulating, but now mainstream publications have confirmed that Norman Oosterbroek hired a hooker while in service of the super star couple, which reportedly horrified them. Oosterbroek would also protect their daughter Blue Ivy as well.
Additionally, the pair allegedly discovered that Norman used their passport in a lewd manner, the New York Daily News reports.
“Beyoncé and Jay Z were furious when they found out,” said a source of the Daily News. “They trusted Norman with their lives and then he went and did some pretty freaky things, and on video with a hooker. They were outraged.”
The incident happened last year, according to reports and Oosterbroek was fired.
“They really thought Norman was now a danger to Blue Ivy,” says the source. “From what I understand he was devastated, because a lot of people in the industry knew that he couldn’t be trusted and not to hire him.”
After being fired, Oosterbroek became deeply depressed and allegedly began using drugs heavily.
The 6-foot 5-inch behemoth was slain by police last month in Miami for allegedly fighting neighbors while on drugs.
