JAY Z’s first B-Sides concert in New York City took place last night and featured a very surprising reunion with Beanie Sigel who joined Jigga on stage. The performance also saw JAY kick a freestyle where he took shots at Youtube & Spotify in a quest to make his streaming company TIDAL appear like the music industry saviour. Peep the full performance and the freestyle after the jump. (more…)
Jay Electronica touched down in the motherland of Nigeria where he spoke with local radio about Nigerian music, Kanye West, working with JAY Z, relationship with J. Cole, bridging people between the States & Africa & more. (more…)
JAY Z’s quest to conquer the world of streaming music continues today as he drops a video for his track ‘Glory’ via Tidal which includes footage of Jay’s rehearsal sessions for his 2012 performance at Carnegie Hall. You can check out the video in full now over at Tidal or if you’re like us folk here at Urban Stylz and haven’t got a subscription I guess you will have to wait for it to hit Youtube at a later date.
Kidd Kidd is gunning for that XXL Freshmen cover as he fires off with two new freestyles as he takes on JAY Z’s classic ‘Can I Live’ and the Fugees ‘Ready Or Not’.
Fabolous takes it back to the Roc days as he jumps on JAY Z’s classic posse cut “You, Me, Him and Her”.
Jay Electronica decides to dig deep in to his vaults and drops a track with his Roc Nation boss JAY Z titled ‘Road To Perdition’ and while Jigga only handles ad-lib duties Electronica as always drops non stop bars.
JAY Z may be on the ad libs but he’s a no show for Ricky Rozay’s latest visual ‘Movin Bass’ which appeared on the MMG head honcho’s album ‘Hood Billionaire’, if you never checked out Tink’s version of this track than you can peep it here.
The other night Funk Flex got on his Hulk Hogan and went on a rant that Jay Z’s ‘Life + Times’ website tried to bite his app and more recently supposedly tried to get inside info on the Dipset reunion which he found strange considering Jay’s beef with the Harlem rap collective. Well after Flex’s rant, Cam’ron & Jim Jones followed it up with a diss track towards Jigga which saw them jump on Diddy’s classic ‘Victory’.
Tink has been on our radar for a minute now so it’s good to finally see the Chicago artist getting the props she deserves since being taken under the wing of Timbaland and we have a feeling that after todays unveiling of her new track she’s about to be the name on everyones lips.
The new single is the original version to ‘Movin Bass’ which is the recent track Timbo produced for Rick Ross & JAY Z and finds Tink putting her stamp all over the cut and making Rozay’s version easily forgettable. It’s crazy how Tink injects a completely different vibe to the track and proves that it’s time for new blood to takeover the game and Tink is most definitely at the forefront! If you never managed to check out her mixtape ‘Winters Diary 2’ from earlier this year then make sure you check it out here.
Rick Ross & JAY Z aren’t strangers when it comes to musical collaborations and today they follow up their recent offering ‘The Devil Is A Lie’ with a brand new Timbaland produced cut titled “Movin’ Bass”, but Jigga fans don’t get too excited as the Roc Nation head honcho only delivers on hook duties. The single will appear on Rozay’s forthcoming album ‘Hood Billionaire’.
