VIDEO: Flying Lotus f/ Kendrick Lamar – ‘Never Catch Me’

By Nemmy Kim.

Flying Lotus explores life after death in the Hiro Murai-directed video for “Never Catch Me,” which expands on the fantastical dream state imagery found in the video for ““Until the Quiet Comes”.”
The dark visuals start off at a funeral for a young boy and girl, but the sadness soon fades. Their souls rise out of their coffins and start to dance in front of the mourners before playing games in the backyard. With a smile on their faces, they drive off in a hearse as children chase them down the street.
The song will appear on Flying Lotus’ album You’re Dead! (due Oct. 7) featuring Snoop Dogg, Thundercat, and Kendrick.

He’s just getting started. After remixing ILoveMakonnen’s “Tuesday” and Snootie Wild’s “Made Me,” Chris Brown goes ham on his remix to French Montana’s DJ Mustard-produced banger “Don’t Panic.” Breezy throws on his Chucks and raps about “licking the cookie,” Black Planet, and Cali kush.
“Strapped up, pistol with the bandanas / Extended clip, gotta hide it from the damn cameras,” he spits.
His album X drops 2-6 in its second week, selling 37,000 copies.

NEW MUSIC: Mary J. Blige – ‘Nobody But You’

By Nemmy Kim.

Hail Mary. After debuting the singles “Therapy” and “Whole Damn Year,” the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul blesses us with another song off her upcoming album The London Sessions. Over a pulsing electro beat, Mary yearns to be in the arms of her lover.
“You’re the only one I’m there for / The only one I care for / Nobody but you,” she sings.
Earlier today, she called into Ryan Seacrest to praise Sam Smith, who wrote on her album. “There hasn’t been a voice to come along in a very long time that has so much emotion, so much depth, so much truth, so much finesse, so much soul, so much style,” she said of the British crooner. “There hasn’t been anything like this since the Mary J. Blige movement.”
MJB has assembled some of the U.K.’s finest including Disclosure, Emile Sandé, and Naughty Boy for Sessions, which will be released on December 2.
