Frank Ocean Covers FADER






















I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot of this man now that Watch The Throne has dropped. Here’s an excerpt from his piece with Fader:

Download: Busta Rhymes, DMX: "Otis" (Freestyle)













Busta Rhymes and a fresh-out-of-jail DMX spitting over the Otis Redding loop.
Now, we're usually not down to post these types of tracks because, many times,
they're throwaways, one-offs, and made for cheap publicity. But as I indicated,
DMX did just get out of jail like two weeks ago and this is the first time
we're hearing him rap since his release. Surprisingly (unsurprisingly)
he sounds exactly like he did before serving his sentence, meaning
he's still super angry, aggressive, and intimidating. Fancy that.

Watch The Throne Listening Session [Pictures]






















It all went down last night at the New York's American Museum
Of Natural History, Jay Z and Kanye West invited a who's who
of the music industry and music's top journalists to experience
and listen to their much anticipated album Watch The Throne.
Track after track came in a different sound, a good sound,
topped with witty ill-ass lyrics. Jay and 'Ye boasted lyrics
that left a lot of the rap game's bad habit of glorifying materialism
behind and connected to the souls of each listener.

More pictures after the jump.
