It’s Black History Month and Cee-Lo ushers in the month by teaming up with Salaam Remi for a reprise of the James Brown classic that professes Black pride and can be played during any month. Here’s “Say It Loud.”
Every year (January 18) is the Lo Life’s Anniversary and they meet up in Times Square with members worldwide.
Kool Taj The Gr8 did a song saluting it with this video “Llayers.” Produced by PETE ROCK.
We hope that you’re still giving Gang Starr’s One of the Best Yet some heavy rotation. But even if you are, hearing Method Man and Redman over DJ Premier production in 2020 on the remix for “Bad Name” is just what you need to get through your day. Turn this up.
If you haven’t noticed, Royce 5’9″ has been on a tear for the past few years as he’s put together the finest run of his already incredible career. As The Allegory approaches on February 21, Nickel drops the self-produced “I Don’t Age.” Yes, it’s another feather in the cap with a bevy of brilliant bars.
Pro Era’s CJ Fly will drop a collaborative album with Statik Selektah titled Rudebwoy on March 6th and release the video for “Show You” from the project.
“‘Show You’ is a high energy boom bap classic that was created to take listeners on a journey through Brooklyn from my birth to present,” CJ says. “It’s a preview into my life and almost biographical. I reveal things that some of my closest friends or fans may not have even known about myself and my father.”
Method Man is connected with Young Collage and Okwerdz as the trio drop bombs on the new joint “Know Me Like That”

Fresh off of two GRAMMY wins, Lil Nas X and Nas team up for the remix to “Rodeo.” This comes directly after Big Nas helped Lil Nas on stage at the Grammy Awards to perform the remix for the first time.
It still feels unreal.
On the morning of January 26, 2020, the world lost a legend when Kobe Bryant, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, died in a fatal helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
He was 41 years old.
Although the world continues to mourn the man affectionately known as Black Mamba, Bryant’s legacy will live on as a man who refused to lose at anything. His passion on the court led to five NBA titles, 18 All-Star nods and voted on the All-NBA First Team 11 times in his illustrious career as a Los Angeles Laker. After retiring in 2016, Bryant began his second career as an advocate for others and focused heavily on the greatest gift of all — his family.
A father to four daughters and husband to Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant appeared to be getting comfortable with his life outside of competition before his life was tragically cut short.
Here’s a sitdown between Kobe and Kendrick Lamar from 2017 at ComplexCon where the duo discuss their evolution to greatness.
Rest in Peace, Kobe. You will forever be missed.
The Griselda Gang (Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Benny The Butcher) take their Buffalo exploits to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and perform “Dr. Birds.”
