Read moreHere goes the official lyric video for Joey Bada$$’s “Teach Me” with Kiesza. Joey Bada$$’s debut album B4.DA.$$ is in its second week on shelves, and as we saw on Charts Don’t Lie this weekend, the rapper brought his total sales up to 64,252 copies. While it’s safe to say Joey wasn’t striving for radio play on his ’90s-infused album, he will most likely manage such a feat with the feel-good “Teach Me”, featuring Canadian singer on the rise Kiesza. When the song leaked a few weeks back, fans were surprised at the sound and Joey’s double-time raps. Today we’re following up the audio with the premiere of an official lyric video for the cut, to help it circulate even further. Take a look above, and go cop the album on iTunes.

Read moreIn the words of the late great Tupac Shakur “the Bay Area is moving something” and as we’ve come to learn over the past few years with the emergence of many of the Bay Area’s past and present star talent, Oakland is where it’s at — and we see why Pac would claim that over anywhere else. To represent the area that’s bred them, rising singer/rapper Rayven Justice teams up with fellow Bay Area reps in Show Banga, J.

Taking some inspiration straight outta Pac’s “The 7 Day Theory” standout and favorite “To Live & Die in L.A.,” the Oakland artist show just what the Bay Area is about, showing love to their hometown and to all those from there who influenced them. via OS
