NEW MUSIC: Big Sean - Control (HOF) ft. Kendrick Lamar & Jay Electronica

IT'S ON! Some may have heard by now, the electrical current that has bored a hold in the hip hop musical landscape; that being MC #KendrickLamar, in what I would consider injecting one of the elements and essence of what it means to be an MC in hip hop culture. There is a lot of buzz coming from hip hop fans in social media, and hip hop artists alike surrounding Kendrick's featured verse on Big Sean's track 'Control' (HOF) which also features Jay Electronica. The track did not make it onto to Big Sean's latest album; but Hot 97 's Funkmaster Flex premiered the track yesterday and has since been all the talk. Why? KL is not only letting everyone know in his lyrics that he is the best, he telling his fellow comrades that he is stepping his game up and they need to do the same if the even want to compete! KL calls out names of other rappers on 'Control', not in a diss sense, but acknowledging the new school, naming J. Cole, Wale (who response in Rolling Out), A$AP Rocky, Drake, Meek Mill, Pusha T and others; knowing they are talented HOWEVER need to step-it-up because rapping about strip clubs - strippers and money ain't gonna cut it! Also, because the game is whacked up right now, Lamar went ahead and claimed not only the west coast, but New York City as well!

MUSIC VIDEO: Kendrick Lamar ft. Drake - 'Poetic Justice'

Kendrick Lamar has now release the visuals for the track 'Poetic Justice' featuring Drake, which was filmed in Crenshaw, Los Angeles; and there has been a lot of build-up hype around this track, as it's sampled off Pop Icon Janet Jackson's hit "Anytime, Anyplace" and the song title 'Poetic Justice' is from the 1993 movie starting Janet and Tupac Shakur. Kendrick has been very vocal about his efforts to reach out to Miss. Jackson and have her appear in the music video, but she tuned the offer down or simply did not respond.

New Music: Kendrick Lamar ft. Drake – 'Poetic Justice'

#KendrickLamar and #Drake collabo on Drake's album Take Care - 'Buried Alive', and they have teamed up again on KL's upcoming sophomore album entitled good kid, m.A.A.d. city. The two artists have something that is working for them collectively, as they have also toured together earlier this year on Drake's Club Paradise tour; and now have released the new track 'Poetic Justice' which contains one of the baddest Janet Jackson slow jams 'Anytime, Anyplace'.

New Music: Kendrick Lamar featuring Dr. Dre – 'The Recipe'

One the hottest artist to come out of the West Coast is a 25 year old native of the Compton, Los Angeles area; who first gained major attention after the release of his 2010 mixtape O(verly) D(edicated), Kendrick Lamar, at his young age sounds like a seasoned vet; that may be contributed by having already worked with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Wiz Khalifa, Game, Drake, Busta Rhymes and Tech N9ne among others. Now Lamar offers up 'The Recipe' – the first single from his as-yet unnamed debut album released under the Aftermath/Interscope umbrella.

The laid-back west coast track has Dr. Dre written all over it, and Dre jumps on the track for a verse; and is topped off by a catchy hook and Twin Sister-sample. Have a listen to 'The Recipe' which sounds like a summer hit, and watch an interview with Kendrick and Canada's own Narduwar (who does some of the best interviews period!)after the jump...
