Director Ron Howard and Showtime release a trailer to the upcoming Made In America documentary which goes behind-the-scenes and chronicles JAY Z’s groundbreaking festival. The film is set to debut at the Toronto International Film Festival going down next weekend and finally will hit the small-screen for viewers on October 11. Watch the sneak peek below to hear commentary from some of music’s biggest names on the importance of the festival and its significance.
JAY Z and Dame Dash finally put their differences aside and reconciled earlier this week at a celebration in New York that Dash only described via his instagram as “Chaka’s party.” After the release of the release of Magna Carta…Holy Grail, a short Instagram video of Dame vibing out to Jay’s latest work and praising it, only reignited questions for Jigga as he made his radio promotional runs. After being outspoken and reassuring listeners that he would always have love for Dame, it almost felt like the former business associates were on the brink of squashing past issues. The moment finally came to pass as the two embraced one another and took some photos to document the special occasion. The second photo below comes to you courtesy of Shaheem Reid.
Former Roc-A-Fella artist and Jay-Z hype man Memphis Bleek drops a new joint today titled “Never”. This soulful track will be featured on Memphis’ new mixtape which is currently in the works. Take a listen.
Over the weekend it looks like Kanye West’s 2001 demo was leaked online and features some tracks you may have previously heard like “Out of Your Mind”, “WOW”, and “Jesus Walks (original)” on previous mixtape series such as Freshman Adjustment. However, I must admit these are probably in the best quality that I’ve heard or own Kanye’s earlier music in and for that it’s worth a download and there’s a few unheard material.
