Pharrell is back with a duo of new tracks, the soulful "Runnin'" and "Surrender," both of which will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming film "Hidden Figures."

Listen to "Runnin" here.

"I know they say to crawl before you walk, but in my mind I already jogged", the multiple Grammy award winning rapper declares on "Runnin," a jazzy track which evokes the sound of 1960's soul music. "If I stand still I cannot get far, they want t

This week's Artist Spotlight is the one and only Action Bronson, the multi-talented chef, TV show host, rapper, and professional bringer of unpopular, controversial statements. With his unique style and attitude, both on and off the mic, Action Bronson has emerged as one of hip hop's most unique acts.

Well known for his mix of a Ghostface Killah-esque style stream of consciousness type flow with some savage, laugh out loud insults and smacktalk, Action Bronson is well known for being one of the most entertaining -- and NSFW -- rappers out there.

While he's not afraid to court controversy, the Queens rapper says his sardonic, often vulgar lyrics weren't created solely for the purpose of inciting shocked guffaws or bullying easy targets, it's about

Common continues to release tracks off of his upcoming, highly anticipated album Black America Again. His latest, the laid back, sensual "Red Wine," mixes equal parts socially conscious rap with a seductive R&B beat and hooks.

Featured artists Syd and Elena take turns with the hypnotic hooks and vocals on "Red Wine," while Common continues to bring the lyrically dense and politically awakened bars that have characterized all of the tracks fromBlack America Again released so far. While not as overtly political as songs like "Letter to the Free" or "The Day Women Took Over," Common still wears his activist reputation proudly on "Red Wine," calling himself "Tupac Deepak Chopra" while he delive

With the recent release of his latest album, Rage & The Machine, veteran rap-star Joe Budden's been sitting cozily at the highest of iTunes' Hip-hop charts. Meanwhile, the Slaughterhouse MC just dropped the music video to the album's third single, “I Gotta Ask”, earlier this morning.

In regard to the album, Budden told Ambrosia For Heads that Rage presents his “first album where it''s not very introspective. It's not so told from a personal point of view. It's not so autobiographical. This one, we really stuck to Hip-hop and our passion for it, and that New York sound—heavy samples, hard drums, just a lot that that has kinda been absent, or it's not just as promoted as som

Acclaimed for his skills as a producer, disk jockey, and rapper, this day in Hip-hop celebrates the birth of Daniel Alan Maman—simply known as, The Alchemist.

Beginning in 1991, Maman started gaining recognition as one-half of the Hip-hop duo, The Whooliganz, rapping under the name “Mudfoot” alongside Mad Skillz (Scott Caan). While rapping at a party in Los Angeles, the pair struck the attention of Cypress Hill's B-Real, who exposed both artists to notable figures in the scene, such as House of Pain, Funkdoobiest, and The Soul Assassins.

The Whooliganz released their much-awaited debut single, “Put Your Handz Up” in 1993, which, at the expense of receiving little recognition, their album never reached publicity, and while partner Caa

Yesterday Drake announced his plans to create "a soundtrack to your life," and he's making good on those ambitions by releasing four new songs in one day.

Drake shared the four new songs on his OVO Sound Radio show, currently airing on Beats 1. The first track, "Two Birds One Stone," has already caused a fair share of controversy online, as Drake reportedly mocks "Day N' Nite" rapper Kid Cudi, who recently checked himself into rehab for depression. The track has already been meant with an overwhelmingly negative reaction from critics and fans online, many of whom are accusing Drake of shaming and bullying those suffering from mental illness.

The other three tracks, for better or worse, haven't received as much attention
