B.o.B (or somebody) visualizes his track from Funk Flex’s latest tape with some clips that should make both Flex and the Ruff Ryders camp proud.
A$AP Twelvyy – Jay Reed (ft. Da$h) (Video)
So I’m not sure about the sample being used this way but Twelvyy and Da$h come through with some classic posted up with hoods up NY rap. I get what they’re doing with the song and video but I wish they could have come with an original hook. Directed by Simon Davis.
Pusha T & Kanye West – Numbers On The Boards (BTS)
Pusha T was reportedly shooting a video for ‘Numbers On The Boards‘ today and got a cameo from none other than G.O.O.D. Music head honcho Kanye West. More pictures below.
@FATTREL x @SouljaBoy – Power Pills & Guns (In-Studio Video)
Fat Trel released this record a few months back with Soulja Boy; now, we get some in studio footage from the session. Seems like Trel had the whole crew in the studio with him. SDMG coming soon.
Mondre M.A.N. – Ha Haaaa (Video) (Prod. Nem270)
Main Attrakionz Mondre M.A.N. drops a new video for a song with frequent collaborator Nem270. This is a little more positive than usual for Mondre but that works out in this instance.
Jelly Roll (@JellyRoll615) – After The Rain (Video)
Three 6 Mafia/Lil Wyte affiliate Jelly Roll quietly dropped this video today, solemnly rapping about his struggle while hanging out with his daughter. This Johnny Juliano-produced track is definitely worth giving a listen; it’s a little more captivating than the average struggle raps.
Jay-Z Speaks On Selling His Brooklyn Nets Stake
A few days before the Brooklyn Nets make their playoff debut, Jay-Z made his official announcement that he was selling his part of the team. Below is what he had to say about his decision:
Being a member of the Nets organization surpassed some of my greatest ambitions. It was never about an investment; it was about the NETS and Brooklyn. My job as an owner is over but as a fan it has just begun. I’m a Brooklyn Net forever. It’s been an honor to work with Mikhail Prokhorov, Dmitry Razumov, Christophe Charlier, ONEXIM Sports and Entertainment, Brett Yormark and all the wonderful people involved in making the Nets first class. My sincerest thanks goes to Bruce Ratner, who first introduced the idea of moving the Nets to Brooklyn. A thank you and deepest appreciation goes to the fans. You are the lifeblood of any team.
The Nets have made their mark on the NBA and as they enter a new era, Roc Nation does as well; as we embark on Roc Nation Sports. Our newest endeavor is committed to building the brands of professional athletes as we have done for some of today’s top music artists. For Roc Nation Sports to function at its full potential, NBA rules stipulate that I relinquish my ownership in the Brooklyn Nets. It was a tough decision but as I stated earlier, it’s not about ownership. Congratulations to The Nets on a great season and making the playoffs! I will always be a Brooklyn Net.

CHECK OUT: Twitter #Music
From Twitter’s official blog:
Today, we’re releasing Twitter #music, a new service that will change the way people find music, based on Twitter. It uses Twitter activity, including Tweets and engagement, to detect and surface the most popular tracks and emerging artists. It also brings artists’ music-related Twitter activity front and center: go to their profiles to see which music artists they follow and listen to songs by those artists. And, of course, you can tweet songs right from the app.
The songs on Twitter #music currently come from three sources: iTunes, Spotify or Rdio. By default, you will hear previews from iTunes when exploring music in the app. Subscribers to Rdio and Spotify can log in to their accounts to enjoy full tracks that are available in those respective catalogs. We will continue to explore and add other music service providers.
Read the full entry here…..or, just play around with the app like I’m about to do.
