A$AP Rocky & Skepta Release New Visuals
A$AP Rocky & Skepta team up on the split screen visual representing New York City & London for their song "Praise The Lord (Da Shine)." Following a similar vintage hazy feel of the previous video, "A$AP Forever." The combination of the quick transitions, A$AP's outfits, Tyler the Creator cameo, and the cool color tone creates another epic music video.

A$AP Rocky Explores New Ground on Testing
A sample filled experimentation of sounds is described best by A$AP Rocky himself during an interview in January. "Basically, the point of this whole shit is just testing new sounds. Just new wavelengths. It’s more so the outcome of an experiment.." Testing explores new land for the Harlem rapper who decides to sing over rapping on tracks like Calldrops, which feature an incarcerated Kodak Black.
The addicting hook in F**k Sleep is made for the replay button.
"Fuck em, fuck sleep, come clean, zonin'
Can't forget that I'm golden, can't forget where I'm going
Fuck popo, police, enemies, fake homies
Can't forget that I'm a OG, better act like you know it"
Melodic and effortless, Rocky pulls off a new sound I hope to hear more of in the future.
Returning to his roots with Clams Casino on "Black Tux, White Collar", Rocky delivers his iconic pitched down voice before the final track plays. "Purity", next to "Changes", marks the most introspective side of Rocky we have seen to date. With the aid of an unforgettable Frank Ocean verse, Rocky speaks about drug addiction and his sisters death on the outro track of an album that is truly 'testing' new grounds.

[Video] Skrillex Unveils Chance The Rapper Collaboration
Chance The Rapper took over the hip-hop world last year on the strength of his Acid Raps, and since the new year turned last month, it appears Chano isn't satisfied with handling just the rap side of things. After teaming up with Justin Bieber for "Confident", the Chicago MC has been rumored to be working with Skrillex in the studio quite a bit as of late, with the gossip being spread on the Internet with regular updates. Last night, in New York City at The Brooklyn Bowl, Skrillex decided to unveil his collaboration with Chance amidst a string of BK shows that have many calling his time out East a 'Skrillex takeover'. The track isn't like the EDM superstar's past connections with rappers, most notably 2012's "Wild For The Night" which was essentially a Srillex song with A$AP Rocky rapping over it. Here, we have something with distinctly juke elements that feature Chance sing-song rapping his way through the track. With Pop and Hip-hop seemingly on lock, Chance very well may be getting his EDM playlist in check, with a recently-announced set at Ultra Miami on deck. Check out the latest from Chance and Skrillex in this less-than-stellar video below.

A$AP Rocky Featured In DKNY’s Latest Campaign
It looks like A$AP Rocky is building on his modeling portfolio, going from lookbooks for brands like Black Scale to now starring in DKNY's latest ad campaign. Throughout his young career, A$AP has been an advocate of fashion, so it was inevitable that a fashion brand would request the services of the Harlem rapper. For the campaign, he is featured alongside models Cara Delevingne, Jourdan Dunn, Eliza Cummings, and Dylan Rieder, posting up in Times Square for the shots. Who knows where A$AP will end up next, but check out some of the photos for the campaign and check out some of the BTS shots here.

The video for A$AP Rocky's "Fashion Killa" off last year's LongLiveA$AP finally got a video yesterday.

A$AP Ferg also pops up for a quick few bars from his Trap Lord track "Murda Something". Check out the video below from Dailymotion.
Rappers & Cereal
We've all become accustomed to artists putting their name on a number of products and really showing us their entrepreneurial spirit, from the clothing brands to alcohol, headphones, restaurants and even clubs. Many do anything to make a dollar, and for whats it's worth, I respect that artists venture into the world of business. But like any business, some succeed and well... some are destined to fail. Now think of all the products that we've seen rappers put their name behind, then imagine if your favorite rappers branched off into the world of cereal. The minds over at Rappers & Cereal made it a reality by creating some awesome images with our favorite rappers on the boxes of some of our favorite cereals. Check out some of the hilarious images below, and for more visit Rappers & Cereal.
