It’s been a while, but Cole will be dropping his Sophomore album Born Sinner on June 18th, moving it up from the original release date. Kanye will be dropping his Yeezus album on the same day, and as to why Cole moved his release up he had this to say on twitter.

There’s that, Born Sinner June 18th, I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a release since The Sideline Story. Check the deluxe album cover after the jump.

Beyonce has been all over the blogspots lately for possibly having a bun in the oven, but her Hubby went ahead and put that rumor to bed stating that Queen Bey isn’t expecting.

So the next best thing to follow this of course is new music from Beyonce titled Grown Woman which is produced by Timbaland, click play and groove out below.

Kweli just dropped a gem on you in the past week, Prisoner of Conscious  is available now on iTunes for your listening pleasure. As always Kweli sticks to his lyricism that is often times missing in the game, with features from Curren$y, Kendrick Lamar, Marsha Ambrosius and much more. I never have a problem setting his albums on and walking away in result of that classic hip-hop shit spinning for a good hour or two.

James Blake is amazing live, too. Check out his performing Retrograde on David Letterman then go get his latest album Overgrown.

Took a minute for me to watch the video, but I’m beyond glad that Janelle Monae is back in the mix with new music. The world definitely missed her or at least I know I did.

Her new single Q.U.E.E.N. featuring Erykah Badu is available on iTunes and will be available on Janelle Monae’s upcoming album The Electric Lady .

Cole decided to drop this on the world just to hold you over until June 25th when Born Sinner hits. Take a listen below, and add it to your collection…

There he goes again, dropping somethin’ for you to hold on to. Born Sinner coming for that ass June 25th.

THIS IS A MUSIC VIDEO. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis put on quite the movie for their latest single “Can’t Hold Us” and it completely blew me away. Make sure to read what I had to say about the album when I gave it an honest listen, then go buy The Heist on iTunes NOW.
