New Matisyahu featuring Mavado. Pump this.
Here’s a new one by my man Killer Whale aka Big Dawg K from White Plains, produced by Jay Rozayy. Drip, drip.
I unfortunately couldn’t make it out to see Roc Marciano’s show at the Highline Ballroom on Thursday night (Rap Dad duty called), but I had a feeling it was gonna be one of those nights you don’t want to miss. Turns out I was right. See footage above of Busta Rhymes’ guest appearance on stage, where he gave one of the biggest public displays of respect I’ve ever seen in hip-hop—calling Roc one of his Top 5 MCs and explaining for close to four minutes why he’s truly a Rap God. Shouts to my boy Eric Diep for the footage.
And below, see flicks from the show courtesy of Photo Rob, featuring Meyhem Lauren, DJ Muggs, Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, Westside Gunn, Action Bronson, Big Body Bes, Knowledge The Pirate, V Don, Lil Eto, Smoke DZA and Jazz.
Yo Jazz, what is that sweatshirt you’re wearing?!? Salute to Roc Marciano and everyone who was involved in this historic night—this crop of talent represents hip-hop’s finest.
My guy The Vinylcologist comes through a mix of Nas’ greatest conceptual songs, released on limited edition white label (sorry, it’s already sold out so just press play and enjoy).
Congrats to my man Rosenberg on his new Complex late night show Open Late. Here’s the story behind how the show came to be, and his unprecedented daily media hustle.
New LD, featuring Chris Breezy. Instant hit.
Nick Kroll and John Mulaney return—with zero chill—to host this year’s Film Independent Spirit Awards. Off the hook! Watch their opening monologue above, and also check them out below promoting their hosting duties with Conan earlier this week. So fun, so funny.
Felt good being back on stage with my brother Matisyahu at The Capitol Theatre—thanks for always bringing me out to rock!
Thank you Combat Jack for everything you did for the culture, and for me personally. We’re all going to miss you. RIP.
