Donald Glover is an actor, writer, comedian and musician. Many people recognize Glover from the critically acclaimed show Community, where he plays a young adult named Troy going through Community College. Glover took the underground music scene by storm when he released his third self produced album “Culdesac”. I have been jamming Gambino for a while now and must say he keeps evolving, ever new song leaves me wanting more. Check it out!
Childish Gambino – Heartbeat

M.I.A is one of those artists that people have heard of but don’t really recognize her music. Every song she has put out to this day is in its own category, they don’t sound like your typical music. There really isn’t a plausible way for me to describe M.I.A in a blog post so i’m going to include the video for her newest single too! Check it out!
I will someday marry this Woman!
M.I.A – Bad Girls

Kid Cudi has been one of my favorite hip hop artists since he dropped his first mixtape back in 2008. Cudi isn’t your typical hip hop artist, he puts his heart and soul into his music and makes you feel his pain through his tunes. This is Cudi’s first side project with famous producer Dot Da Genius, together the duo is known as WZRD. Here is their first single off of their upcoming CD due out in late February. Check it out!
WZRD – Teleport to Me, Jamie Feat. Desire

Wordspit the Illest is a good friend of mine straight out of Brooklyn.
If you’ve heard him, you’ve felt him! WordSpit was born and bred in East New York, Brooklyn to a young mother and a hustling musician for a father. With humble beginnings as his inspiration, WordSpit realized his gift for lyrics in the third grade and has been honing his craft ever since. Having been dubbed “WordSpit” by his brother, he set out to ensure that the verses that flew from his lips were nothing short of potent. From corners to lunchrooms, from Youtube to your television set, WordSpit’s word play has become an inescapable force that one can’t help but succumb to. Having Cannibus, Nas, and Rakim as influences, combined with an energetic and charismatic stage presence, WordSpit is the representation of everything that has been great about hip-hop in the past and takes it to the next level.
