SINGLE REVIEW: Kanye West – “New Slaves”

May 20th, 2013 Matthew Leimkuehler

Artist: Kanye West
Song: “New Slaves”
Album: Yeezus
Label: Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam

Ladies and gentlemen, Kanye West is back, and he is controversial as ever. This pop icon, who has built his dynasty on constant ingenuity and speculation, debuted his new single, “New Slaves,” via live projections on 66 different buildings across the world.

“New Slaves,” the first track to be released off up and coming record Yeezus, is dark, eerie and strikingly personal. Kanye spits blunt verses over a grave-digging bottom-end of bass that rattles bones. Not only does the beat blast, but the message he delivers also comes …

Kanye West Returns To Twitter; Teases…Something

May 2nd, 2013 James Shotwell

Kanye West famously deleted all of his tweets at the beginning of October 2012, but everyone assumed it was just another crazy Kanye moment that would soon be replaced by yet another over-the-top publicity move. Generally this would be the case and we would have moved on, but the soon to be father and man behind G.O.O.D. Music kept his word and remained silent. Until Now.

Just after 9 A.M. (EST) today, May 2, Kanye West posted a single tweet on his account that simply reads “June Eighteen.” Kanye did not post a follow-up and, of course, offered no further …

Ray J has been receiving a wealth of publicity over the release and subsequent promotion of his new single, “I Hit It First.” The song features lyrics that most critics claim make direct references to the rapper’s relationship with sex tape star Kim Kardashian, including the line “I had her head going north and her ass going south / But now baby chose to go West,” but Ray J initially denied such claims.
