After the internets went wild over the ‘diss’ yesterday, Diggy explains on 99.1 KGGI that the leak was recorded over a year ago and had no intentions of it coming out.

Childish Gambino – Eat Your Vegetables
New record that popped up today from Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover, presumably off of his upcoming yet to be titled mixtape. D Money covers recent topics in this one with production by the Chemist – Definitely remember playing Donkey Kong and hearing the same sound that closes this song out.
Kendrick Lamar feat. Dr. Dre – The Recipe
After much anticipation, the first single from Kendrick Lamar’s debut album (tentatively titled ‘Good Kid in A Mad City’) was released this morning featuring the legendary, Dr. Dre with production from Scoop DeVille. I’m glad they didn’t go with a ‘banger’ or radio jingle as their first release.. This sounds just like the Kendrick we all know and fell for. Expect “The Recipe” to be available on iTunes later tonight. Sidebar: “The Recipe” samples Twin Sister’s “Meet The Frownies.”
Video: Jay-Z x Rocawear ‘Marcy To Barclays’ Commercial
The first ever Rocawear commercial is a retrospective of Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s journey as a kid growing up in the humble projects of Brooklyn aspiring to make music and eventually making history. On that journey, the first business beyond music was the birth of Rocawear. Carter’s Rocawear brand represents his prowess as a business man who continues to challenge himself to be more than merely a musician.
Video: Drake Interview with Tim Westwood
Drake hits London for the O2 event that follows his Club Paradise Tour. He talks with Tim about a slew of topics, such as The Motto, when he uses YOLO, Rihanna, growing in his music, the Marvin’s Room lawsuit, his tattoos (didn’t know he had any), plus a whole lot more. He also gives Timmy a pretty good freestyle. There’s more after the jump. Enjoy!
ev4n holt – Looking Up
Things are “Looking Up” for Atlanta based artist ev4n holt, with a follow-up to his Mobb Deep rendition for “Streets Keep Callin.” This cut will be featured on ev4n’s upcoming self titled mixtape.
Video: Face to Face – 2 Chainz
Says the homie Jabari, “I linked up with 2 Chainz right before he brought out Kanye West and Big Sean at his SXSW show. Watch as he talks about surprises in his career, what it means to be TRU, and his upcoming album, Based on a T.R.U. Story”
Jai Paul – Jasmine
British singer-songwriter Jai Paul makes me wish my name was Jasmine with his latest song. The XL recording artist gives us a sexy soulful side of him with his most recent joint. He continues to be this man of mystery which is quite intriguing. Definitely loving this!
J. NiCS ft. Aleon Craft – Wired Up
I’m a pretty big fan of J.NiCS, tried to catch him while he was at SxSw but kept missing each other. J NICS unleashes his collaborative song with Atlanta’s Aleon Craft, titled “Wired Up“. The duo exchange verses about Southern Mentality over an instrumental filled with 808 bass and mean synthesizers. (Produced by Atlanta’s own SMKA) Check it out below!
Diggy – What You Say To Me (J. Cole Diss)
Sigh.. Everyone who has heard J. Cole’s debut remembers Jermaines line in ‘Grew Up Fast’ – So either Diggy has had this record out or he caught new feelings and re-recorded it since first premiering it a year ago at the XXL showcase concert. Sidebar, J. Cole and Diggy’s older sister Vanessa, went to St. Johns together and ‘Purple Rain’ (which premiered here on herfection) first pushed Diggy to creating this diss. Take a listen below.
