New crush alert. We’ve always enjoyed Action Bronson’s lyrics but now we’re checking him out a little harder. In the visuals for his latest “Strictly 4 My Jeeps,” the Albanian rapper hits the streets for a quick workout, dice game, and ends the day as chef for the fam. Check out the video below and watch out for a cameo from Riff Raff.

We can’t be the only ones that playing the “Look Good With Trouble” interlude on Solange’s True EP 500 times. On Repeat. And now we can finally here the song in it’s entirety AND featuring our current favorite Kendrick Lamar. Christmas came early.

We’re digging this Vancouver band, Weed, and not for the reason you’re thinking. Their “garage band” sound takes us right back to our high school emo days when we didn’t give as many fucks about our music choices. Listen below for Weed’s latest track, “Set Me Back.”
You know that long drive you’ve been meaning to take. Yeah… this song should jump start that plan. ”Perfectly” is the latest from Ryan Hemsworth’s Still Awake EP which is dropping next week.
Listen below.
Fresh off the A$AP assembly line is the Remix for A$AP Ferg’s “Work” featuring French Montana, ScHoolboy Q, Trinidad James and A$AP Rocky.
The song is accompanied by a video which will be released soon. In the meantime, check out the behind the scenes footage below.
Happy Trap Tuesday!
Kendrick Lamar moves through spectrums of emotions in his new video. From the somber and ethereal all white wedding funeral scenes which turns into a celebration in what looks like are ‘eternal’ and tranquil hills. Cut between is baptism in liquor & champagne in a herse/limo.
Slowly the clear ties made between purity, afterlife, and celebration emerge through the event of a mysterious death.
It becomes clear it is a celebration of the death of Molly, the notorious club drug. Killed Molly, doesn’t mean you’ll kill the vibe.
Danny Brown tweeted “I hope this new KDot video do make people stop fucki*g with #molly,” referencing this video.
Kendrick is on the “Verge Campus Tour” w DJ Steve Aoki & starts his ‘Good Kid, m.A.A.d City” world tour on May 22nd.

IDEAS CITY: NUIT BLANCHE NYC
Bring to Light: Nuit Blanche New York is a free nighttime contemporary art event on the New York waterfront that transforms streets, parks, piers and historic spaces, creating an immersive spectacle for thousands of participants.
AMMO on site at Ideas City.
At Nuit Blanche, despite the unusually chilly weather was an incredible experience a great chance to reflect on urban space and the way in which attention can be harnessed by the use of lighting, sound, and good design.
This year the overall Ideas City ”explores the future of cities around the globe with the belief that arts and culture are essential to the vitality of urban centers, making them better places to live, work, and play. Founded by the New Museum in 2011, IDEAS CITY is a major collaborative initiative between hundreds of arts, education, and community organizations. This year’s theme is Untapped Capital, with participants focused on resources that are under-recognized or underutilized in our cities.”
Take a look at some of our photographs from the event!
