BJ the Chicago Kid Links Up With Schoolboy Q for 'It's True' Video
BJ the Chicago Kid and Schoolboy Q pick up where they left off on the Grammy-nominated ‘Studio’ for their latest collaborative effort, ‘It’s True.’ Originally a hidden track on BJ’s ‘The M.A.F.E. Project,’ BJ decided to capitalize on the buzz and film a visual for the song after it become a fan favorite.
Giving his sultry vocals a rest and opting to drop a few bars himself, BJ sounds rather comfortable switching roles, weaving tales of dreams deferred in his native Chi-Town streets. He speaks on the untimely death of a gangbanging ball player in the first verse before reminiscing on a high school friend who passed away from a seizure. The Chicago kid paints a vivid picture of both accounts while getting his point across bluntly.
Schoolboy Q also delivers on his end, turning in a stellar 16 himself. He does this while frying up some poultry in a Harold’s Chicken Shack and serving it out to the hood Nino Brown-style, making for a standout scene in the music video.
Be on the lookout for BJ’s upcoming Motown Records debut, scheduled for release in 2015.

Hazel E Snaps Back at Game for Calling Her Ugly

Kanye West's 'Yeezus' Receives a Christmas-Themed Parody
Parody albums can be hit or miss. However, Local Business Comedy‘s transformation of Kanye West‘s ‘Yeezus’ will give Weird Al Yankovic’s stuff a run for its money.
Perfectly timed for the Christmas holiday, the Los Angeles sketch comedy trio take each of the Kanye’s original beats on the album and replace the lyrics with more holiday appropriate content.
As you listen to the album, you’ll go into each song thinking Kanye will start wailing into your ears, but all of a sudden one of the comedians, who freakishly sounds similar to ‘Ye, will attack the mic with some yuletide-esque rhymes that will get Mrs. Claus ready to get down.
“Mrs. Claus was raised in the era when / Clean snow was only rode by Jack Skellington / Riding snow you would have thought I had help / But they wasn’t satisfied unless I shoveled snow myself,” the comedian delivers on ‘New Sleighs,’ the parody of ‘New Slaves.’
Meanwhile, the more romantic ode ‘Wrapped’ sounds a bit dirtier as the lyrics details a lady’s crush on Santa. Even the hook is changed up to “Ho ho Santa.” “I know you’re tired of wrappin, of wrappin’ / With nobody to gift / Nobody, nobody,” he raps.
Listen to the rest of ‘Kreezus’ below, and maybe you’ll add this to your holiday playlist on Christmas Day.

Wale Gets in the Holiday Spirit With 'Festivus' Mixtape
DMV vanguard Wale returns with his latest project in the form of the ‘Festivus’ mixtape.
Reviving the Seinfield theme the rapper implemented on earlier releases, Mr. Folarin looks to silence his detractors and the naysayers this go-round.
Serving as a precursor to his upcoming major label album, ‘The Album About Nothing,’ scheduled for release on March 31, ‘Festivus’ is more of a free-wheeling showcase of Wale’s skills rather than a terse, focused effort.
The tape is 11 songs deep and features appearances from the likes of Pusha T, A$AP Ferg, Fat Trel and Chance the Rapper. Ab-Soul and Magazeen join forces on the mellow groove of ‘Keep It Moving’ while Wale shines solo on ‘Girls on Drugs,’ which samples Janet Jackson’s ‘Go Deep.’
The production talent features a varied cast of boardsmen, including longtime collaborators Best Kept Secret and Tone P, as well as Lee Majorz, THC and Flexx Beat,s among others.
‘Festivus’ comes right in time for the holidays and should make every Wale fan’s holiday even more memorable.
Stream ‘Festivus’ below and feel free to drop a comment and let us know what you think about it.

Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Curves on Rolling Stone Cover
Nicki Minaj has had an amazing year and she tops it off with an eye-popping cover for Rolling Stone.
For her first cover with the music magazine, the rapper wears a wet, white tank top that barely covers her ample assets. Hey guys, her eyes are up here.
The Rolling Stone nod, which is circulating around the ‘net before an official release, is just one of many milestones the ‘Anaconda’ rapper enjoyed in 2014.
‘The Pinkprint’ creator graced the covers of Billboard and Complex and landed on GQ’s ‘Year in Hotness’ list. On the music front, we couldn’t get enough of Nicki. Her chart-topping hit ‘Anaconda’ made The Boombox’s year-end lists for Best Hip-Hop Videos of 2014 and Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2014.

Your Old Droog Drops a Freestyle on 'Showoff Radio' [VIDEO]
No longer safe from his cloak of anonymity, Brooklyn’s current mystery man Your Old Droog surfaced on DJ Statik Selektah’s ‘Showoff Radio’ show on Shade 45. Other than giving the people a quick rundown of what he’s been up to lately, Droog did what rappers are expected to do during any radio interview: drop a few rhymes off the cuff.
Statik, being the boom-bap purist that he is, chose to throw Droog to the wolves, leaving him with only a life-saver in the form of DJ Premier instrumentals. And Droog surely didn’t sink, flowing with an urgency reserved for moments like this.
Starting off with the Jay Z and Foxy Brown classic, ‘Ain’t No,’ Droog opens up, spitting, “Every morning like an Asian, doing Tai-Chi, you busy tryna be rap’s Liberace, or packing burners like Hibachi,” before flipping landmark bars from Smiff-n-Wessun’s ‘Sound Bwoi Bureill.’
The track then skips to another Premo goodie, ‘Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers’ soundscape, with Droog continuing his lyrical warpath before declaring, “They can’t see me.” From the sounds of this clip, he’s speaking more fact than fiction.
Be sure to cop Your Old Droog’s self-titled LP album here.

Fabolous vs. Fetty Wap – The Boombox Battle
Fabolous has done it again. Despite Rae Sremmurd‘s strong effort, the duo’s 30 percent of the fan vote just couldn’t beat Fabolous’ almost 70 percent in The Boombox Battle — making this his third consecutive win.
The rapper’s new track, ‘Lituation,’ which is the first single off his forthcoming effort, ‘The Young OG Project,’ sounds like the quintessential New York City track. With its hard beat and aggressive lyrics, the Brooklyn native delivers menacing rhymes.
“This a movie, get your Goobers, n—-, it gets deep get your scuba, n—- / I got the swipers in the gun shop, I got the shooters in the Uber, n—- / Everything brand new my n—-, Lord Jamar Grand Puba, n—- / They calling me Fidel Cashflow, yeah, and the link come from Cuba, n—-,” he spits.
Fetty Wap will be trying his luck against Fabolous this week. Hailing from Paterson, N.J., Fetty’s ‘Trap Queen’ has been blowing up on the internet in many ways. With over 4 million listens on Soundcloud and more than 1.4 million views of the track’s video, the song has put Fetty on everyone’s radar and even landed him a deal with Lyor Cohen’s 300 Entertainment.
The mid-tempo tune showcases Fetty’s sing-song rapping approach and his songwriting skills, which feature him loving his girl, money and the bando.
“I’m like ‘Hey, what’s up, hello’ / Seen yo pretty ass soon as you came in that door / I just wanna chill, got a sack for us to roll / Married to the money, introduced her to my stove / Showed her how to whip it, now she remixin’ for low / She my trap queen, let her hit the bando / We be countin’ up, watch how far them bands go,” he delivers on the first verse.
Will Fabolous go for his fourth win and enter The Boombox Hall of Fame? Or will Fetty Wap’s lyrics and flow grab the fan vote? It’s time for you to decide. Go vote for your favorite song in the poll below. Remember, you can vote once per hour until the poll closes on Tues., Dec. 30, at 10AM ET.

T-Pain Plays 'Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?' [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]
T-Pain shocked the world a few months ago when he appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert to sing without Auto-Tune. The performance was amazing and generated new interest in the rapper-turnt-sanga — odd considering his true fans knew he could sing all along. Shortly after the concert went viral, the Florida native sat down to play ‘Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?’ with The Boombox.
The game is simple. T-Pain addresses the “facts” on his Wikipedia page and confirms if they reveal the truth or the information is a fallacy.
For this episode, the ‘Buy U a Drank’ singer talks about his formative years as a rapper in Tallahassee, Fla. How did he come up with his unique stage name? What music equipment did he buy at the age of 15? And how did he remix Akon’s 2003 chart-topper ‘Locked Up’ for his own mixtape?
T-Pain answers these questions and more in our exclusive interview. Watch part one of the discussion above and take a look at him reflect on the shock of him singing without Auto-Tune below.

Queen Latifah Pays Laid-Off Talk Show Staff With Her Own Money
All hail the queen. Queen Latifah is helping to make the holidays a little brighter for her laid-off talk show staff by digging into her own wallet and paying their salaries.
According to E! News, the multi-talented entertainer is using her own money to pay the show’s crew through the holidays, even though production has officially shut down.
The show was canceled earlier this year after two seasons. The daytime show was produced by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and featured a slew of big guests, including former President Bill Clinton.
E! shares that original episodes of the show will run through March 2015, but its production crew is no longer necessary. Big ups to Queen Latifah for lending a helping hand to the behind-the-scenes folks during this difficult time.

10 Best Hip-Hop Videos of 2014
Whether you’re optimistic about 2015 or soured by 2014′s events, the fact is there’s been plenty of music released over the past 12 months to suit even the harshest of hip-hop critics. There’s also plenty of cameras and eager creatives, which means there are a wealth of standout videos from your favorite rappers.
This year, we highlight massive butts, pay homage to ‘Clueless’ and celebrate dancing children — the latter are always a plus. Iggy Azalea, Flying Lotus and Flatbush Zombies are a few of the deserving artists in the 10 Best Hip-Hop Videos of 2014.
10
‘Fancy’
Iggy Azalea Feat. Charli XCX
The opening chords and the “Who dat, who dat” becoming more ubiquitous than this ‘Clueless’-inspired video is an achievement in itself. Still, it was the clip that spring-boarded its success. ‘Fancy’ has finished its run on the Billboard charts, but a few years from now on all-decade lists, folks are going to point at Iggy Azalea’s striped yellow outfit, the hats and the locker room struts. They’ll be Googling ‘Clueless,’ too.
9
‘Easy Rider’
Action Bronson
Action Bronson’s quieter-than-usual presence this year presumably means he’s at work on ‘Mr. Wonderful’ for 2015. There hasn’t been too much details about the album, but ‘Easy Rider’ does promise it’s going to be enjoyable if he’s dipping his toes into some mysticism. In a clip seemingly inspired by ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,’ Vietnam vet Bronson embarks on a cross-country journey involving a Native American, a bar fight and an acid trip to retrieve his Les Paul guitar. It’s epic as it is humorous -- a reassuring sign that Bronson won’t lose touch with himself no matter how ambitious he gets with his upcoming debut.
8
‘Christ Conscious’
Joey Bada$$
The dichotomy of Pro Era consists of its earthy ‘90s-influenced sounds and the pursuit of third-eye consciousness. The two may look divergent, but this video argues that the former is actually a journey to the latter. What starts out as a trip through Brooklyn -- touched up with bits of animation and fashion -- turns into the ascension of Joey Bada$$. It’s a moment that’s been beyond his grasp musically; here, it’s illustrated with wonder at the end of a breezy video.
7
‘100 Bottles’
Low Pros Feat. Travi$ Scott
There’s always been a heightened sense of wanderlust associated with Japan -- from Tokyo’s bright lights, to the famed Shibuya District’s diversity, to the Roman alphabet’s absence. Low Pro’s ‘100 Bottles’ takes the nation’s kaleidoscope and intensifies the colors at least tenfold through Travi$ Scott’s eyes. In visuals as spastic as the music behind it, we see the romantics twisted into something nightmarish as Scott walks through a metropolis of bra-less CGI monsters, distorted bodies under a codeine-hue and an overall sense of claustrophobia. In other words, it’s more fun to watch than experience.
The video for ‘Freebase’ reproves the 11th law of relativity: Everything is 2 Chainz. That goes even in a video that’s supposed to be in the line of many sendups to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller.’ With the clever nod to the disclaimer aside, we get 2 Chainz appropriating its source material’s sense of novelty instead of using it as a gimmick. So instead of an obvious knockoff, we get southern slang (“I told you we ain’t finna do nothin’”) and a bit of air cooking as 2 Chainz rants his rags-to-riches story (“I been a felon since 15”). He doesn’t even bother to recreate ‘Thriller’’s famous choreography; he improvises. R.I.P. Michael Jackson
5
‘Multiply’
A$AP Rocky Feat. Juicy J
A$AP season didn’t quite catch on yet; Big Sean’s ‘I Don’t F--- With You’ and Bobby Shmurda’s ‘Hot N----‘ are still Top 20 in the country, while Nicki Minaj’s ‘The Pinkprint’ and J. Cole ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive’ are the focus of the hype train. But it did seem like that seasonal shift was coming in the middle of one October night when A$AP Rocky broke his silence with ‘Multiply’ and its accompanying video. Along with the visual joys of an omnipresent Juicy J on hi-def screens and a militant A$AP Yams, the Shomi Patwary/A$AP Rocky-directed video is a wide shot of the A$AP crew’s charm: its knack for balancing experimental tendencies and high-fashion with a sense of street awareness. While Been Trill was getting damned inside a room of big screens, the war continues on the concrete.
4
‘Telegraph Ave (Oakland by Lloyd)’
Childish Gambino
Firstly, it’s Jhene Aiko and Childish Gambino being up close and personal onstage. Pretty sweet. Secondly, the video illustrates the twinkling romanticism that’s at the core of what’s arguably the best song from his album, ‘Because the Internet.’ Oakland isn’t the real destination (there’s just no way), but a state of elation that’s represented in the Hawaiian locale here. It’s not a total vacation here, though; Gambino’s weirdness eventually wreaks havoc.
3
’97.92’
Flatbush Zombies & Trash Talk
Technology might actually kill us at some point in the future, but at least we’ll have gems like the ’97.92’ video to justify its existence. APlusFilmz and Pier Pictures used a high-tech 360 degree camera on a drone to shoot the visual. The result is a clip that draws from the tipsiness of Flatbush Zombies’ style while parsing down the nefariousness. You don’t usually describe blue skies and bike riding as trippy and disorienting.
2
‘Anaconda’
Nicki Minaj
Whether you’re a fan of the video’s feminist overtones (queens in the Amazon) or critical of its overt sexuality (butts, butts and more butts), the fact is that ‘Anaconda’ broke the record for most streams in a 24-hour period with 19.6 million views. It also broke that 100 million mark and pushed the song to No. 2 in the Billboard Hot 100 -- Nicki Minaj’s highest mark. The opinions can’t cloud how Minaj currently is at the core of pop culture. Don't forget to look out for Drake's lap dance.
1
'Never Catch Me'
Flying Lotus Feat. Kendrick Lamar
The greatness of Flying Lotus' ‘You’re Dead!’ album doesn’t just rest in its musical complexities. It’s also a multifaceted view of that journey from one life to the next: the loss, mystery, the celebration and what’s in between. Expressing all of the above requires an imagination that’s hard to portray visually, but Hiro Murai’s masterwork is a damn good swing at it. The video flows from sadness to delight as it follows two kids as they rise from their coffins and dance their way to a hearse. It’s a contextually fitting sequence, too, dropping as the value of black lives in America is in question. Discontent reigns in that conversation. Here, it’s about joy, coupled with Kendrick Lamar's poignant lyrics.

The Weeknd Heats Things Up on 'Earned It'
The Weeknd has made a name for himself in the bump-and-grind music department with tracks like ‘Often’ and his rendition of Beyonce’s ‘Drunk in Love.’ So it only makes sense for the crooner to be part of the soundtrack for one of the sexiest films of 2015: ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’
‘Earned It’ kicks off with a dramatic, thumping beat and features his supple vocals floating over the mid-tempo ballad. The track has an old cabaret feel, which makes it an effort that could easily be performed in a dark and smokey club in a hidden corner of town.
“I love when you call unexpected / ‘Cause I hate when the moment’s expected / So I’ma care for you / I’ma care for you / ‘Cause girl, you’re perfect / You’re always worth it / And you deserve it / The way you work it / ‘Cause girl, you earned it,” he sings.
The sensual track is the film soundtrack’s first official release and is available on iTunes now. The full album will release digitally on Feb. 10, 2015, just before the film premieres in theaters on Feb. 13.

Asher Roth Delivers 'Be Right' Video Featuring Major Myjah
It hasn’t been the smoothest ride for Asher Roth since exploding on to the scene with his 2009 hit ‘I Love College,’ but he’s still keeping upbeat and determined, which he conveys on the song ‘Be Right’ featuring Major Myjah.
In the video, the former Def Jam artist uses a bunch of old footage from concerts, photo shoots and personal appearances, which documentsjust how active he’s been in the past five years or so.
The clip also shows the changes in Roth’s personal style, as he goes from a clean-cut, short-haired look, to sporting shoulder-length hair, embracing a ’70s rocker vibe.
As far as the song itself, it has an ultra positive feel. The 29-year-old encourages people to chase their dreams, despite facing hardships. “Give it away, give it away, give it away now / Haven’t felt this way since when I moved to A-Town / I’ve decided I’ma do my thing and stay proud / Used to be some doubt, but now the whole world’s my playground,” he spits.
The Blended Babies-produced cut is on the rapper’s latest album, ‘Retrohash,’ which he released earlier this year on Pale Fire and Federal Prism Records.
