Video: J. Cole Talks Cole World, Work Out, etc.

SoulCultureTV caught up with J. Cole on his return to the London’s Wireless Festival this weekend, having torn down the Pepsi Max stage for his second year running, to discuss the theory behind the title of his debut album Cole World: The Sideline Story [out on September 27], his fans’ mixed reactions to the project’s lead single Work Out as the follow up to Who Dat, and his understanding of the need to “play the game to change the game” with radio-friendly tracks without compromising the quality of his finished album; swearing, “I’m not gonna have an album full of pop records… I would quit before I did that.

Video: Kendrick Lamar Previews Hol’up

I just returned from being Kendrick’s DJ for the past couple nights in Toronto and Brooklyn, and I must say that each of the shows were packed to the brim with people and full of energy. There will definitely be more, higher-quality footage of the shows up sooner than later, but I wanted to drop something that happened throughout the concerts. During his performance he played small portions from a pair of new cuts for the crowd, “Hol’up” being one of them. Props to Brilliantly Blunt for catching this in BK.

Section80 is tentatively set to drop July 2nd (I got the date from Kendrick himself), and from what I heard from the album you’re going to dig it when it does.

Big L – Street Struck Documentary News + Vintage, Unreleased Video Interview

Above is a vintage, never-before-seen video interview with Big L while he was on tour with Biggie, Puff and Craig Mack. For those who have been patiently waiting for any news on the upcoming Street Struck documentary, well, Big L Online and Jewelz, the director of the project has good news: the film is set to release in late August, early September. The main delays have obviously been the bad economic climate, setting up interviews and getting the proper equipment to film. Mind you, they have no big corporation backing them. You gotta give the entire crew behind the project some love and respect as they poured their all into this project. Check down bottom for a BTS look at the upcoming music video (which will appear on the soundtrack to the film), Me And Big L by Mike Boogie (you may remember him from 8 Iz Enuff).
