Kendrick Lamar ft. Jay-Z – Dont Kill My Vibe [Remix]

March 18, 2013  |  Download Of The Week, Hip Hop  |  Leave A Comment



At the rate Kendrick’s been ascending in the hip hop ranks, it was only a matter of time that a collaboration like this would happen. They both bring their A games on this remix with plenty of lyrics that will have you hitting the rewind button. Jay usually dominates any song he’s on but Kendrick’s presence is undeniably as strong here.

The Highlights

March 6, 2013  |  Exclusive  |  1 Comment

It’s been 13 years since I started in this business. Vox, MTV, Dance On Sunset, MySpace, Access Hollywood, Duets, The Q Side. It’s been quite a ride.

I’ll never forget my first day hosting TRL, it was like an out of body experience. Obviously since then I’ve settled into it but what’s never changed is how much I appreciate these moments.

There’s still a lot more to do but looking at this highlight reel is definitely a nice reminder of how far I’ve come.

My friend Johnny doesn’t hold back any of his awesome eccentricity on this new album The Nothing. Over some very unique sample-free production, he weaves between singing and rapping on a very unpredictable musical experience.

Emotional Intelligence

When this interviewer asked me to name drop what famous friends I was meeting up with in this Grammy party and told me how interesting she thought that would be to talk about- the interview took a very different turn.

It really marked another milestone in my growth and I even shared my plans for getting the work I’ve been doing on emotional intelligence into public school curriculums nation wide. It’s never been more clear to me what my purpose is and I want to thank you all for supporting that!
