The visual teaser for Boldy James’ sophomore project dropping next Monday…

The latest track in the “Songs By Me, Stalley” series which is tiding us over whilst we await the release of Savage Journey To The American Dream which is coming soon…

Murs is preparing to release a new album and graphic novel package and needs help to launch it. Watch the video above then head over to his Kickstarter page to check out the artwork and make a pledge toward the release…

“The album and novel unite to tell the story of Yumi Morales, a girl living the fabled tour life working the merchandise table for her boyfriend Dominick’s band Murder Acts. The 124-page graphic novel is illustrated by Jose Garcia, written by Josh Blaylock and the ten-song album – whose lyrics are printed in their entirety throughout the novel – is produced entirely by DJ Foundation. Yumiko is available only via the project’s Kickstarter page, where a range of different pledge options will get you everything from the novel and CD to exclusive apparel, custom download cards illustrated by David Mack and Jim Mahfood, and a personal thank-you note and Twitter follow from Murs. Followed by the release of the album and book, an animated music video will officially be unveiled at Murs’ party during the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. “Yumiko is hip hop and comics done correctly,” says Murs of the project. “Comics have always been a huge inspiration to me. And having the chance to publish my own comic is truly an honor. Working with my partners to create this book was a lot of fun and we are looking forward to making our dream a reality with the help of the fans.”

More visuals from the Boss’ latest mixtape effort. God Forgives, I Don’t coming soon…

To mark the anniversary of Malcolm X’s passing, the man currently attempting a name change drops visuals for his excellent re-interpretation of Jay and Kanye’s Watch The Throne single…

He hinted at it back when I interviewed him a couple of weeks back (which I’m still yet to transcribe) but the follow up to the outstanding Die, Rugged Man, Die, entitled Legends Never Die is on it’s way!

Great news; the “Watch The Throne” tour is headed to European shores! With 12 dates having been announced and tickets (for the UK dates at least) going on sale this Friday (24th) at 9am from Live Nation, the duo will kick off their tour in London this coming May and will tour through June (hitting both Manchester and Birmingham, for my fellow UK fans) with more dates yet to be announced.

Hit the jump for dates…

I completely forgot that this tape from one half of Mobb Deep was dropping today! Given how good last year’s The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson EP was I’d highly recommend hitting the jump then pressing play (or even better download!)

As promised Odd Future drop their latest video for the new single “Rella”, which will appear on their upcoming OF Tape Vol.2 which drops on March 20th. The visual is the seventh directed by Tyler himself under the name Wolf Haley, and is the usual mix of madness and surrealism we have come to enjoy from him.

Tyler wrote a bit about the visual with a mixture of confidence and nervousness on his Twitter account…

“EVERY RAP VIDEO THAT RELEASED IN 2012 IS NOT AS AWESOME AS RELLA AND THIS IS TO EVERY RAPPER,YOUR VIDEOS FUCKING SUCK. IM NERVOUS AND ASIAN”

“…..And I Hope Missy, Hype Williams, Spike Jonze And Busta Sees It”
