Thursday, before the official release of Blank Face LP, TDE’s CEO Anthony Tiffith dropped the Black Hippy Remix for “THat Part”. OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OKAY!

In the remix, Q acknowledges this week’s police shootings in which two black men were killed: “Gang bangin’ like we stand for somethin’/When Alton Sterling gettin’ killed for nothin’/Two cowards in the car, they’re just there to film/Sayin’ #BlackLivesMatter should’ve died with him.”

TDE’s CEO has confirmed that there will be a TDE label tour once “everyone drops their albums”, so we have that to look forward to in the future.

Tickets for our Dallas and Houston shows are SOLD OUT, but you can stream the remix below and make sure to check out Blank Face LP.

Kendrick Lamar Performs “Untitled 2” (Live On Jimmy Fallon)

Last night, Kendrick Lamar performed on The Tonight Show, and he unsurprisingly killed it. What did come as a surprise was his performance of a new untitled track, which he calls “Untitled 2”. Kendrick‘s performances are always charismatic and filled with energy, so last night was no exception. K-Dot flies through the lyrics yet delivers on every phrase, making sure his speech was clear and powerful.  The accompaniment was a groovy composition that has P-Funk written all over it. Sporting cornrows, King Kendrick vibes and bobs to the beat as the intensity of this unnamed track builds, then finishes his songs off with a slurry of rapid-fire raps over some incredible piano riffs, heavy drumming and relaxing melody.  Seeing Kendrick Lamar live should be on every Hip-Hop head’s bucket list, so check out this performance below.

Kendrick Lamar – Alright [Video]

Alright

We’ve all been waiting for this one. Although music critics (self-proclaimed or otherwise) have been trying to label Kendrick Lamar’s latest release To Pimp A Butterfly as a “classic,” the album is more of a thinker than a club banger. Kendrick brought funk and soul back into hip-hop with this project, and his lyrics and ideas are the most provocative and talked about since, well, his last album, but TPAB doesn’t really have tracks a DJ can play to hype up a party crowd. “Alright” is a notable exception. Especially amongst the album’s relevant, yet almost somber themes, “Alright” is an oasis of light, hope and dope beats. The black and white visuals to go along with this already beloved track were teased for weeks and finally released today. Striking images of Kendrick’s city, good and bad, are shown to reiterate the ideas of the song: bad things happen that we can’t control, but we’ll be alright. “We hate po’ po'” is acted out with the constant threat of police violence, but Kendrick also highlighted his smiling fellow Black Hippy members, classic images of hip-hop in its purest form, and members of his community just singing along and having a good time. Watch below.
