PopularLemonade

If I didn’t have an absolute crush on J. Cole earlier, I sure as hell do after checking his 2011 Bonaroo cover of Tupac‘s classic, I Ain’t Mad At Cha. I like. Check it out below.          

What a long, strange trip it’s been. From collaborating with key designers, throwing fresh parties, and everything else in between, PopularLemonade has evolved into its own beast.  There’s not a week that goes by that someone catches me on the street to say hello, chat about sneakers, music, whatever.  To those of you that have [...]

I feel like ‘best of’ lists are a bit overrated – everyone ends up putting on their bad ass hats and bitching about the placement of the exact same 10 albums within the list.  Instead of boring you all with a bunch of diatribe and bullshit, I’d rather show you exactly what has been keeping [...]

I kind of have a dj crush on Dj Hyphen after listening to his best of 2009 mix right here… Did I just say that?  Anyway, be sure to download & check this mix, throw it on your iPod, whatever.  Be sure to check our Sound Session every Sunday evening on Seattle’s Kube93 from 10:45pm [...]

I wonder if Jay’s really trying to leak his entire album before it’s set to release in 12 days?  7 our of 15 tracks have been leaked or released by now, which is insane. I’m surprised at how upbeat the J.Cole track was, especially since I was expecting more of a sleeper type track, but [...]

Okay, okay.  I’ve posted now three track lists for The Blueprint 3 and also the Blueprint Collector’s Edition… Apparently, this may be the official ish.  There are very little moments when albums drop where I’m this stoked and I’m some “is there an app for the Blueprint 3 countdown?  I need one.”  You know, so [...]
