Nicki & Bey.
Ladies, need I say more?
Here’s the confidence anthem going into 2015 as these ladies exude nothing but that with a little of attitude. Hit-Boy produces and I’m diggin’ what he did about halfway through, take note!
Favorite part from the ladies though? Beyonce after Nicki’s first verse. Slayed, I believe is what the Bey Hive says?
The Pinkprint drops in full in a few days, December 15th.

Audio Push returns with a new single as Wale guests and S Dot & Hit-Boy produce.
Audio Push has a unique collab on their hands with “Fwd Back” enlisting the help of Riff Raff and King Chip. First collab across the board, if I’m not mistaken. On top of that, scroll below for another bonus new track as Beatboy & Hit-Boy co-produce “OTW”.
It’s not much, but it’s new info on the enigmatic Frank Ocean and his long-awaited, highly-anticipated sophomore album.
Billboard reports that Frank Ocean has been signed to management with Three Six Zero (Calvin Harris, Deadmau5 and Kate Nash) and has logged studio time with Hit-Boy & Darkchild. Whoo! As a fan of both, I’m excited to hear their sounds mesh with Ocean’s (especially given Darkchild’s longtime big-name R&B collabs).
The article also notes Ocean is still working with frequent collaborators Happy Perez, Charlie Gambetta and Kevin Ristro. Needless to say, we’ll be looking forward to the next development…
Here’s a dope contribution to the L.A. Leakers upcoming compilation project, Leaks of the Industry ’14, and it’s the Dot Da Genius produced Logic x HS87 collab “Everything I Am”. The beat itself sets the tone with Jay Z sampled for the hook. All parties involved do their thing on the verses too that this becomes a nice add for any rap fan before the project drops in full with even more collabs.
