I saw screen caps for this video a few weeks ago…along with a teaser video, and I knew it was going to ruffle some feathers. Kanye West’s MONSTER video has leaked online, and I can clearly tell that this is not the final edit. It’s a bit choppy, but I’m… Read More →

If there is one album that I think people are sleeping on, it’s Miguel’s debut “All I Want Is You” I have played that on repeat since it’s release and it has yet to get old. It took me a long time to get through it, simply because the first… Read More →

I’m playing catch-up here at TheUptownLounge. The visual for my favorite track from Chrisette Michele’s latest album “Let Freedom Reign” was released a few days ago. It’s not exactly what I envisioned when I listened to the song…but it’s very interesting to say the least. Oh yeah, and shout out… Read More →

Diggy Simmons is the man to watch. Funny I say man, because the young one is only 15 years old, but his skill far surpass his age. On this new track “Digg Is Like”, Rev Run’s middle son attacks a DJ Premier track…and it’s definitely worth the download. His new… Read More →
