Introducing the latest rapper of the A$AP Mob to get their own breakout single… Nast. First we had Rocky, then Ferg, now Nast. Nast brings a real old school feel to this record “Trillmatic” much like if he was actually a member of Pro Era, but the style may have also been adapted to accommodate the legendary Method Man. Still, this is a fun and great introduction to give Nast the solo spotlight. Will he be the next one from the mob to drop a solo album?

Pharrell is trying to do something that has never has been done before with a 24 hour music video of his song “Happy” from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack. There’s a reason that no one has ever done 24 hours of a video. While there are a lot of a different of people doing scenes throughout the film its the same damn song playing over and over throughout the day. Here is the official short form of all the 24 hours in a compact cool looking 4 minutes. Should have stuck with just that Pharrell, this little bit is cool. But I guess if you are depressed there’s like 24 hours of free therapy?

Good rhymes and production which he handled the duties for both. You can sign your name right here and deal with it.

Almost time to name some new freshmen. How could you possibly leave Isaiah Rashad off the list this year. The kid is so down to earth with that realness and competitive fire that TDE embodies. This record “Ronnie Drake” features his new labelmate SZA. Nice little record for valuing family and friends, which is what you should try doing today instead of hitting the shops and going insane.

Happy Thanksgiving to y’all! Our treat today is Eminem’s crazy “Rap God” video where he pays homage to the past and spits incredible bars for five minutes. I was surprised when I found out in a recent interview that he did the whole song off the dome. Whether you love or hate the Marshall Mathers LP 2 it’s been one of the highlights of 2013. While you watch think about all the things you are thankful for and how you can empower yourself with the love of your friends and family. It’ll make you a god of your spot too! Just stay humble =)
