K.Dot continues to grasp the attention of his audience and naysayers alike with songs like this. Although the message behind this song may not be conducive to the “rapper image”, the underlying issue is one that needs to be addressed by artists with the knowledge to back it. Coming off an outstanding first single, “The Recipe”, featuring Dr. Dre smoothly reciting verses kindly written by Kendrick himself, the up and coming Compton icon releases a wavy track about the effects of alcohol, better suited for the intellectual listeners.
Will the release of his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, solidify Lamar as one of the best in the game? Hold off on answering that until October 2nd. Purchase “Swimming Pools (Drank)” on iTunes now.

It doesn’t get much better than a Kendrick Lamar feature these days. Yeah, Game can still make a solid track, but K. Dot slaughters this this hook and the acapella at the end is unparalleled. Personally, this is my favorite record off Game’s album, R.E.D., which shaped up to be a respectable project despite the years of continued delay it kept receiving. There is a quote at the end of the video by Game, describing in a nutshell what the video represents and how he has overcome hardships like no other to make it to where he is today.
“Los Angeles, CA – Though sometimes colorful, there are two colors that stand out the most…Those colors being red and blue. When mixed together, these two colors cast a dark shadow over everything under the sun. Most are still fighting to see the light.” – Game

Azad dropped this new track, Growing Apart, with tranquil production sampling Kendrick Lamar, who Azad has recently shared the stage with. Digging deep, this emotional relationship track is something most all of you can probably relate too. No word on where this track may fall, but expect Azad’s new tape dropping soon.
