In one of the busiest weeks we’ve seen all year, there’s still just one thing dominating the headlines up until now. Following Kendrick Lamar’s impressively talked about verse on Big Sean’s “Control” alongside Jay Electronica, the world has turned their attention specific lines (see: King of New York) and name-drops throughout, with many rappers continuing to respond and show us what they’re made of.
New singles arrived from the likes of Eminem, Kenna, Lupe Fiasco, Rapsody, Eric Arc Elliott, Prince, Toro Y Moi, Naya Rivera and many more, with a bunch of new projects coming from John Mayer, Earl Sweatshirt, A$AP Ferg, Terrace Martin, HBK Gang, King Krule, Vado and Young Jeezy to name a few.
Keep up with everything over the past seven days with The Week OnSMASH.
