Looks like we all survived the catastrophic event that would be the end of the world, as “predicted” by the Mayans. There are no reports of widespread apocalyptic events, it didn’t rain fire and it looks like we were all bamboozled into thinking otherwise.
Lucky for us, we can continue bringing you that new new, as plenty of artists dropped good music throughout the course of this week, just in time for Christmas. We also heard plenty of albums and mixtapes that dropped, as well as the story of Kanye West and his Givenchy kilt. Congrats go out to TDE and Kendrick Lamar for going gold this week, and there was actual Jay Electronica spotting. Enjoy new music from J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, T.I., Raekwon, State Property, Miguel, Styles P and even the Cali OG, MC Eiht!
