It’s the intimate moments like this, that fans of J Cole can appreciate. In effort to promote his first HBO special titled “Forest Hills Drive: Homecoming“, J Cole laces us with exclusive visuals. These visuals gives us fans an insight on J Cole’s life, the people who inspire him, and his journey over the course of the year.

The Sound Builders crew went to LA recently to kick it with sound designer & music artist Mileece to discover a new world of sound. I can’t stress how much technology has evolved, but given the fact that Mileece has developed the technology that has given plants their won sound says a hell of a lot. Press play below for a glimpse into the process.

The lovely Erykah Badu debuted another single off her upcoming But You Cain’t Use My Phone mixtape, titled “Phone Down”.  Word on the street is we can expect the full mixtape around Thanksgiving. That’s right Badu, give us Hip-Hop elites something to be thankful for; musically I mean *Giggles*.

“Music is not something that you can market all the time, this shit belong to you, and you only.” 

Those are K-Dot’s words, not #PH2Music. While on his Kunta Groove Sessions Tour, Kendrick Lamar talks about his love for his fans, the success of To Pimp a Butterfly album, and how he has changed overall as a man.

Let this be a constant reminder of who is the “Pulse of Hip-Hop” out here! #PH2Music embrace music like the remix you are about to hear from J Cole. Press play below and celebrate the 25th Anniversary of A Tribe Called Quest‘s album “People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm.”

Soooooo, apparently Stephen Colbert has musical talents, says Chance the Rapper himself. Chano performed his new song “Angels” on the The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert.

PH2 Music would like to congratulate & welcome Chano into the world of parenting. He welcomed his first child; a girl into the world recently. Take a listen to “Angels” below.

  “I was making Japanese, and she was watching DVD’s, in Oakland, in Oakland…” Wait, wrong song but hey Gambino and Kehlani are friends, not to mention Kehlani is from Oakland so I’m good. Her new video “Alive” which you can watch below, makes me want nothing more than a paradise excursion with Coast Vega, and a few of our homies.

Whoa!! I’m trying to figure out who I am looking at. The full grown beard threw me off, nonetheless I fell like I’m looking at Donald Glover and not Childish. *Giggles* I’m such a fan, so much that I’m excited for Gambino and his leap of faith in the acting world. Below you can watch him cover “So Into You” by Tamia; just a reminder to us all that he is still a popping singing n***a

  I’m super GEEKED! Just the other day I received an email informing me that Kyle will be finally be releasing his second album “SMYLE” along with a small, intimate tour. **Catch #PH2Music in New York on 11/03/2015 for Kyle’s performance.** With the release of his new track “Remember Me ?” assisted by my guy Chance the Rapper, it’s fair to say that Kyle is off to a great start with his second album.

Lets get the playlist right. When I first read the title I thought seven journeys at once being pulled in every direction by family, friends expectations, and pressures of being successful. Could that be what she meant, or was I thinking too much into it? The music infused with her personality clarified it all. It was the At Once part knowing how to handle the present and still be down for the ride . Ph2 would like to present Nicole Lundy out Of H-town by way of Galveston. The Sam Houston State Graduate and Songstress releases her first EP to our knowledge. Titled “Seven Journeys at Once“, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from hearing her melodic Vocals. “Pharaohs an Queens” tells us how she wants nothing but happiness but, it seems so distance from being obtained. The relationships she’s in could be stopping her from obtaining it. While songs like “Mf” & “All Mine Speak of How” encounters of soul searching lead her to create this masterpiece.

#WheresVega  ? Well as of  August 1st ,2015  he was performing at the Columbia Convention Center located at Lincoln St in South Carolina. The Pulse tagged along and found themselves engulfed in a noteworthy atmosphere. Out the gate ,there was a warm & inviting smile offered to everyone in attendance . It was the official launch of  #TheBasementReleaseParty.

Commencing the official start of the RelocationProgram.tv. If being wowed wasn’t enough; the festivities were  followed up with performances from local acts such as @803theclique,@Ykd  and @Carolina Sounds.

The subject matter ranging from the gardens of the women soil that haven’t been tended to so her fruits express hostility, police brutality and how its affecting our mindsets mostly because “The pigs Got a gods complex’. Snaps echoed over the speakers,holding the stage in place as everyone laughed awaiting the next artist to take the stage.

The lights dimmed and silence fell upon the restless crowd a baritone voice yelled #Agisai #Agisai #Agisai … silent again and the voice returned with a joyful remark “PH2 the pulse”; this time catching the attention of everyone who thought the back wall would hold them up. A tall goofy slender silhouette hoped on stage and began to make us feel comfortable. In such a way only your older siblings could . “These Moments” played and the show was on “Wassup!! I”m Vega, How Y’all Doing??  I’m the Pulse Yess !!

Vega Didn’t settle for mediocre he reached into our minds and made us want to be involve made us want to ask why and who are you? Made us want to be apart of his musical journey. The Crowd Was ecstatic when “Under the Seat” “You Know Its Like a Hundred Degrees and They Out In These Streets Hunting For Me” chimed in as his set continued jumping on the speaker to better project his love for the well being of his Community. The crowd  sung along not missing  a beat, his smile was all too right as he delivered an exclusive track not yet heard. This night Vega knew he wasn’t alone.

He lifted a fist in the air for #SandraBland and before he said his goodbyes he made it known his weapon of choice was his voice and they cant silence it. The performance was nothing short of magical. We’re excited for his new Ep Said to be release October lets see if he can deliver.

“Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers.” Ya’ll remember that song?.. aha. I can put these babies on my fall fashion must have list. Vans presents their leather & wool collection as part of the Fall/Winter release. You can cop up on the new pack over at Van’s website and retail stores now.

This d**k ain’t free….

Is it really standard for men to spend crazy money on a woman in order to wax that a….*Cough* I mean um have sex with them ? Giggles.  And why is it that women don’t face the same trouble as men do when it comes to getting want they want ?

Kendrick Lamar plays on this notion in his new video “For Free?” and it’s important to note the messages in the video, as it relates not only to women playing hard to get, but how America and its system has dealt a hand in pimpin’ out black people once they have reached success; especially in the music industry. Don’t be a sell out. Press play below.

First and foremost let me just say S/O to Millersville University! **Giggles** 

Having first met Jasmine (GoGo Morrow) back when we attended Millersville University; not to mention she was one of the judges who auditioned me for a dance group called Essence. I knew then what I know now and that is that GoGo Morrow is unique in her own rite and a star. ~Cherrell 

Philadelphia singer/song-writer GoGo Morrow follows up her “I Like That Bae” offering, with a fresh new single, and accompanying visual entitled “Like A Trap Boy.” With some hard-knocking production from Rap1220, GoGo Morrow delivers a street anthem for the ladies, while giving a nod to all the trappers. The R&B singer continues to prove her vocal prowess while maintaining an undeniable swag in theRick Nyce-directed “LATB” music video. 

  GoGo Morrow has developed quite an impressive resume thus far with performing alongside Lady Gaga throughout her award winning Monster Ball Tour (2 years), Jay Z‘s Made In America Festival, and two sold out Theater of Living Arts shows (Live Nation venue) all under her belt. Stay tuned for more news from GoGo Morrow and support “Like A Trap Boy” on iTunes. #LATB

I’m a true Cudi fan, and I honestly have to say it seems to me that there will be a HUGE alteration in the sound of Kid Cudi‘s new LP “Speedin Bullet to Heaven“. I’m all for change, so I look forward to hearing his new LP. Peep the use of rock melodies Cudi uses in his new track “Confused“.

Lauryn Hill gave me life while I watched her performing a Nina Simone cover of “Feeling Good“. I got goose bumps all over from her performance an that’s real. If you didn’t catch her performance on the Jimmy Fallon show the other night you can watch it below.

Nina Revisited: A Tribute To Nina Simone is out now.
