Kanye West and @kidcudi released their long-awaited collaborative album this month under the project, KIDS SEE GHOSTS, highlighting their strong chemistry, unapologetic honesty and distinctive approaches. With both artists dealing with their fair share of mental illness, the seven-track record is a complex account of both artists’ honesty, self-reflection, doubt, confessions and rehabilitation. Through Ye’s candid lyricism and innate storytelling the legendary producer shines with one of his finest works. Along with Cudi’s crooning melodies, emotional depths and vocal truths, the album symbolizes a turning point for both artists and an impressive account of how we tackle some of our deepest demons. Our fav tracks on this one: ‘Reborn,’ ‘Free,’ ‘Kids See Ghosts’ and ‘Cudi Montage.’ Add to your weekly playlist today! #kidcudi #kanyewest #ye #kidsseeghosts #hiphop #collaboration #hiphop #newmusic #tfak #goodmusic #reborn #free #cudimontage #thefoxandkinginc
As today’s fragile society & divisive politics disintegrates into chaos each day, it’s fitting that hip hop guides us back to one of its most prolific storytellers and curator of urban social issues. In his 11th studio album, @nas new project is one of the most anticipated albums of 2018 and the 4th installment of a series of produced works by Kanye West this month. “Nasir” showcases both artists current critique of today’s increasingly vial social issues that span from police brutality, gun violence, domestic violence and the means of success. Nas and Ye waste no time on their thoughts on the police brutality epedemic with the Slick Rick sampled, ‘Cops Shot The Kid.’ The album also opens with a powerful protest song, ‘Not For The Radio’ feat. @diddy , that highlights the power of Black America through historical truths and tribulations. One of our favorite tracks, ‘Everything’ Feat. The-Dream & Ye, tackles success and self-reflection on how such blessings play a role to make a change in society. With an incredible production from Kanye and a powerful lyrical and curating account of today’s issues by Queens Bridge’s finest, Nas proves once again that he stands among the greats to have ever wielded the mic. Add “Nasir” to your playlist this week. #nas #kanyewest #nasir #thedream #diddy #copsshotthekid #everything #notfortheradio #hiphop #newmusic #queens #queensbridge #eastcoastrap #tfak #thefoxandkinginc

We are devastated by the renowned chef, author, traveler and vivid storyteller, @anthonybourdain Our deepest sympathies to his family, friends and all who knew him. Tony gave us a window into the world and cultures that surround us - providing a comfort that all of us, in some way, share the same interests, likes and passions that may not only be about food. His written works and decadent TV shows made us salivate, smile, laugh and learn something new everyday about who we are as people. Tony, we will miss you deeply and the stories you told from afar, and yet, so close to home. Thank you and god bless you. #rip #anthonybourdain #partsunknown #noreservations
