Pusha-T Used His New Album As A Verzuz Between Kanye & Pharrell

In the last week, one of the year's biggest albums released. Pusha-T competes for his first #1 on the charts with the arrival of It's Almost Dry. The G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Records collection follows up the veteran MC's 2018 Grammy-nominated campaign for DAYTONA. That LP, the first of a Kanye West-produced five-album summer series,... Read more

Kendrick Lamar & N*E*R*D’s Collabo Is Inspired By Lethal Law Enforcement Stops (Audio)

Life is too short to listen to bad music. So…let AFH fight through it for you and only supply you with that great stuff. Despite the reports, Hip-Hop is alive and well and, in many ways, is better than it’s ever been. Not only are we able to go back... Read more

Skyzoo – The Penny Freestyle Series Pt 2 (This & That + Wonderfully I)

There are a LOT of these weekly series now: webisodes, freestyles, etc. Skyzoo's Penny Freestyle Series is looking like it's going to be among the better ones. Last week, he killed the Otis beat. This week he jumps on a couple of Neptunes tracks and brings more heat. Check out... Read more

Tyler the Creator put together a pretty ill Summer Mix.

As you might expect, it's pretty heavily Pharrell-influenced, but there are some cool surprises, as well. Here's what Tyler had to say about it: Hi. I’m On A Big Tour In Europe Right Now, Pretty New To This. I’m Used To Spending Summers Not Doing Anything Productive With My Friends.... Read more

OK…so I was a little late on Nardwaur but better late…

For anyone else who missed these or who wants to be entertained (again) check out the best of Nardwaur vs. Hip-Hop. It's cool to see him consistently engage some very respectable minds in hip-hop with deeply researched questions. Warning: These interviews are like Lays...No one can have just one. Nardwaur...

Phil Ade was a big oversight on the 2011 XXL Freshman list. Check out his video for Break Me Off.

This is the latest installment of #philadefriday.  The track is a monster too. It chops up N.E.R.D.'s Love Bomb quite nicely.  Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BOKgUBr6Ik&feature=player_embedded#at=169 Here's N.E.R.D.'s Love Bomb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshKOJHr1yE...

Here's a double dose of N.E.R.D. videos–God Bless Us All and Life as a Fish.

First up is a live performance of the super funky God Bless Us All from The Tonight Show. And next is the psychadelic Life As a Fish. This is a dope album... N.E.R.D. will be performing live on BET's 106 & Park on 11/10.... Read more

What do you think of N.E.R.D's new track Hypnotize You (produced by Daft Punk)? See the Letterman performance here.

The Neptunes are always ones to push the envelope. They remain consistent in that regard, both with the song and the performance.  Pharrell and Kanye have kept hip-hop alive and kicking over the last 10 years.  Here's N.E.R.D.'s latest chapter: ExternalVideo.969771&w=425&h=350&fv= Props to Daft Punk for the beat.  Looks like...

Pharrell has been stretching out musically lately. The new N.E.R.D. could go in many directions. Here are a few possibilities.

And, of course there's the Christian Rich... Read more
