The ILLZ – Heaven (Higher)

The latest track from The ILLZ, in anticipation for the release of What Comes After. In his trademark style, The Illz shows his vulnerability and hurt from the loss of his father and fellow hip-hop artist D Mobb. He talks directly to his fallen peers, expressing the regret in things left unsaid and his current state of life, in their absence. The emotion in ILLZ’ verses makes us feel as if we knew these two people that were so important to him.

Emperess – P.O.V. f. Cayan & Lyriciss (Video)

Probably the most illegal video I’ve been a part of, since you’re really not allowed to record video on the Metro buses or trains in DC lol. Enjoy.

This is actually kinda dope. It also helps they rhyme over “Mighty Healthy,” aka one of the sickest Ghostface cuts ever.

Jay-Z & Rhapsody Recreate Album Artwork (Video)

Come every Jay-Z album release is a multi-million dollar marketing campaign.

They will also be the first (yes they will) to drop 2 exclusive bonus tracks from the album on September 8th. Now this commercial above is pretty creative. Recreating history here.
