It's been a minute since Eazee Street went to an event featuring plenty of LIVE performances from the LA Homies. I'm talking about artists that have been down with the site for years now like Shawn Chrystopher, Mann, El Prez, Raven Sorvino, BEeFF, Coolroy, Hugh Augustine and of course Eazee Street's resident artist Chris Focus. So come through and watch all my folks and more. There will be more than hip-hop at this event so get ready to hang out all day and night and enjoy music, art and more. I mean it's not like you're going to be at Coachella [who goes to that shit?]

If you missed it last night because you may have been out partying Miguel did his thing on Saturday Night Live [SNL]. He performed tow songs from his Kaleidoscope Dream album.

Kid Cudi hung out with my guys the L.A. Leakers and gave them a great 3 part interview. In part three he talks working with hometown hero Kendrick Lamar. Special shout out to Janice Llamoca for sending this over. In part 3 of Cudi's interview with the L.A. Leakers DJ sourMILK and
Justin Credible, Cudi breaks down the beat that inspired Solo Dolo II,
and why he choose to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar "I looked at
Kendrick Lamar kinda like the new solo dolo, like a n**ga doing his
thing and killing it." - L.A. Leakers
Because in Los Angeles we're always looking for new taco spot I figured I'd highlight a new spot in Santa Monica. The spot existed on La Brea but they needed to "stretch out their legs" into a more cozy area. Oh, they also have bacon guacamole, that's an interesting dip right? Pics of the new spot after the break.
They did Game of Thrones for an opening "couch" sequence...now they take on Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad is that popular AMC series that everyone but me has seen but me because the closest I've been to seeing it is by doing this artwork here. Anyways, enjoy this clip.

I haven't been into canvas "basketball" kicks for a long time [more like forever] but when you see canvas hoop kicks you know summertime is on THE way. I do like a couple of the colorways so I probably just need to see the canvas kicks in person. What is going for these is that they're Questions. More colorways after the break. You can get these on 4.26.13
You may have seen me tweet about this article I wrote; if not here it is. As a guest writer for MMXLII.com I weighed in on the Rick Ross/Reebok debacle because of the rapper's "rape lyric". Just a quick perspective on "gangsta" rap, corporate brands, their relationships and responsibility. Take a read over here.
Speaking of Los Angeles legends coming to an end, KDAY has been sold and rumored to no longer be a hip-hop station. Though I wasn't always on board with some of the things KDAY did when it re-emerged as an FM station, the station did plenty for the city of Los Angeles. You never really appreciate these types of things until they are gone. A big salute to KDAY, for better or for worse the station will ultimately be missed.
If you're into Nike Basketball then you probably have known about the Elite 2.0 and Superhero packs for the Kobe, LeBron and Kevin Durant shoes. With Kobe going down last night and speculation of if he'll truly ever return, are these the last Kobe 8's? If so, which ones are you buying?
As you can see I'm not here to talk about the game last night, something more important than that win happened. What happened was my favorite player and arguably the greatest Laker may have gone down for [dare I say it] good. With little time left in a pivotal game on a routine play, Kobe turned a corner and his leg didn't, he collapsed,
I haven't paid attention to New Balance kicks in a minute, BUT I'd be lying if I said these didn't catch my attention. I may never go out of my way to buy them, but if I saw them in person I might be interested. The colorway itself is what got me. Spotted this at Kicks On Fire, I'll let them explain after the jump with a few photos as well.
By now you should know the story, Jay-Z and Bey went to Cuba for their 5th year wedding anniversary, the US government got mad. So Jay felt some kind of way and made a song referencing said trip and government feelings...welp, US government got mad again. So here is that song Jay made.
Pusha T will always get a post on these here 'Streets. Enjoy the new Don Cannon produced track, that they keep saying Kanye had something to do with as well.
The TDE entries for this year's XXL Freshmen class take show up for some freestyle action. Q keeps it gritty and Soul drops some intellectual jewels. Enjoy.
If anyone cares. Either way will.I.Am will always get a nod here because 1) he's from Compton and 2) I respect his vision and intellect; even if I don't always agree with the music. Tracklist after the jump.
I'll stick to New York real quick as I post this video of one of my favorite tracks off the A$AP Mob mixtape. It has that old school Mobb Deep feel to it. Off that I was sold. Plus Twelvyy & Da$h is nice. Besides Rocky, these are the two I fucks with.
Let's go out of town real quick. As a Fab fan I've gotta post this video. The song isn't bad, a bit too Drake-ish to me but whatever. Ironically it has Chris Brown on it who we know is beefin' with Drake and I swear Fab takes his opportunities to throw shots at the Canadian too. Now after watch this video it's obvious I need to go to Dominican Republic because even the maids in the hotels there are bad enough to bring back home to the states and marry them. I now have goals for when I finally make my trip there.
Because of KLSH & Rochelle Jordan I was able to see Jessie Ware perform LIVE, and she was awesome. Then after the show KLSH & Rochelle introduced me to her. Great person, so with that, she has my support. Enjoy.
A day in the life of hip hop's brightest star, Kendrick Lamar! We spend a day with him and his crew just ahead of his big Spotify Live show. Yo Ret I see you sir...
Well since we brought up the homie Miguel, he's featured on the other homie J. Cole's new single and they dropped this dope ass video for it. So if you're reading this right now then you might as well just watch this video.
Let's keep it to the behind the scenes clips real quick. If you haven't been following them or me on Twitter then you probably had no idea these two had a track coming out together, a remix to a popular track from Kaleidoscope Dream [in stores NOW]. Well they're also gracing the cover of VIBE together. Here's some behind the scenes of them working on the video. Hit the jump for the magazine covers and to listen to the track.
Check out this weeks episode as Terrace Martin rocks the stage at Paid Dues and connects with his folks such as Talib Kweli, Murs, Skeme, Schoolboy Q, Absoul, Kendrick Lamar, Problem, Bad Lucc, & Warren G.
Snoop is keeping VERY busy as he gets ready to release his Reincarnated album. I heard this song a couple weeks ago but didn't know he was dropping it so soon. You'd expect some sort of corny, poppy song I'm sure but it's a bit more refined than that. Definitely something that can take off for radio. Only time will tell. It's already getting a LOT of positive reviews. I just wanna know if she's gonna TWERK in the video tho.
In case you missed it last night, or you want to watch it again...or even pay as close attention to it and write a news story of Kobe and Shaq still can't be on the court together, here's the video of the halftime retirement ceremony for Shaquille O'Neal. Check it out.
I missed this event since I was coming down with the flu, but if you went or heard about it, Big Sean, AraabMUSIK and of course, Uncle Snoop got together at a secret location to rock out for some lucky fans. All brought to the people courtesy of adidas. Relive the night or see what you missed.
I feel like I wasn't supposed to like this song from Pusha T's mixtape, EP, project or whatever that shit was he put out there. However this is one of the songs I actually play often. Here's the visual, filmed right here in Los Angeles, like everything else it seems.
Alright let's stick to the subject of ladies, oh my random attraction to Iggy Azalea tho...ok I'm back, my bad. Anyways she's released a new video for the song "Slo." Take a look, I'll be taking a few.
Ok while we're talking kicks real quick let's show off some cool women's shoes. I like women and I like shoes, so when I see a possible way to combine the two for an awesome combo I have to speak on it. Now the Air Max 90 and I have a love/hate relationship but I think I always love them on a woman's feet. So ladies here's a good choice. I should probably put Kimmy up on these, I don't think the homie has stepped into the Air Max world. More pics from KOF after the break.
Nahhhhhhh...I've been off my kick game lately, well at least on the site, but I had to come back and address these. This is a horrible idea, a horrible execution but for some reason I'm sure the hypebeasts are salivating at these images. Not just salivating but creating an account to save money for it, sharing pics with their friends, fantasizing over the girls that won't actually swoon over them after seeing them in the shoes. But I'm going to shut up and let ya'll tell it. Shouts to the homies from Kicks On Fire for sharing the images.
Dj Mustard and Kenneth Wynn team up to bring you another Episode of Mistards day in the Life Series. In this one we get a up close an personal look into the studio. And a couple of fellow Pusha Ink cameos from Ty$ YG Rudeboy B Moore and Atlanta Rapper Alley Boy as well. Take a look! - Kenneth Wynn
It's also good to see that Snoop can still get down with his homies from back in the day. Here's an ode to the city we all love courtesy of Snoop, Daz and Kurupt. Enjoy.
Snoop drops a powerful video for his song No Guns Allowed from his forthcoming Reincarnated album. He grabs Drake and his daughter Cori B to help him get his message across.
