Mick Jenkins – 11.
Referencing Paul Mooney‘s infamous quote for the hook, Mick Jenkins‘ new track 11 is an emotive track. The title is a statement, eleven being the number of times Eric Garner said “I Can’t Breathe” before he died at the hands of the NYPD. R.I.P. Eric Garner, R.I.P. Michael Brown and R.I.P. the many other victims […]

Blended Babies ft Donnie Trumpet – North Korea.
