Welcome Ki'Shon Furlow to the Collision Records Fam! Leave a comment here and on his socials and show love! You'll be hearing a lot more from him! Watch the first of many videos from Ki'Shon Furlow, featuring the first single, "Golden" from his new EP, "Voices" available for PRE-ORDER on iTunes NOW.
"Golden" is a song about fans who treat their favorite artists like a golden goose, only wanting and expecting hits—“substance or no substance, just gimme a banger.” While he will supply, Ki’Shon still warns fans that the way some of them look to him for all of the hits, is not much different than the way others in the past looked at the golden calf.
Ki’shon will make dope records, but he wants to caution fans not to idolize him and other rappers because of it.

Religion plays an important role alongside stories of Compton gang life in the music of Kendrick Lamar. In the fourth of six segments of Noisey Bompton, we pay a visit to the Greater Zion Family Church and talk to Pastor Michael Fisher about what he thinks the role of gangster rap is in the community and whether crime in Compton is actually receding. Then, we head to Campanella Park, the heart of Piru gang territory, to talk to Kendrick's friend G. Weed about his experiences growing up Piru and becoming involved in the ongoing back-and-forth with the neighboring Crips. "Can't nobody make this place safe," he tells us.

Compton is full of up-and-coming rap talent, some of which can be seen on the cover of Kendrick Lamar's 'To Pimp a Butterfly.' Artists like Boogie, Jay Worthy, Hitta J3, and Kalifornia King Special are busy building their music careers—while also trying to get by day to day.
In the third of six segments of Noisey Bompton, we stop in on an internet radio show with the Bompton artists as they promote their music and take a trip to a hotel later that night to find out how rapper Kalifornia King Special pays his bills. Then, we spend some time on Rosecrans Avenue with Hitta J3, whose song "Do Yo Gudda" has become Compton's latest dance craze. Surrounded by four generations of family, J3 and his mother share stories of the effects gang life has had on their family and neighborhood.

The Estate of James Yancey has revived J Dilla’s longstanding company PayJay as a functioning imprint to release Dilla’s long lost vocal album, The Diary on April 15th, in conjunction with Mass Appeal Records. Initially intended for release in 2002, The Diary is the final batch of unissued material that Dilla had assembled for release during his lifetime, lending crucial insight into the producer’s prowess and thought process in the period leading up to his break with the major label system and the extremely fertile period that followed (which encompassed the making of the canonical classics Ruff Draft, Jaylib, and Donuts). The Diary features vocal performances by J Dilla, Snoop Dogg, Bilal, Kokane, Frank and Dank, Nottz and Boogie, over production by Dilla, Madlib, Pete Rock, Hi-tek, Nottz, House Shoes, Supa Dave West, Bink! and Karriem Riggins.

Compton, California, is known for launching the rap careers of stars like Kendrick Lamar, and music provides a promising avenue out of the community's cycle of violence. In the second of six segments of Noisey Bompton, we spend a day with Kendrick's childhood friend Lil L, who's pursuing his own musical ambitions. L's grandma invites us over for a gumbo dinner and shares her experiences as a mother and grandmother who's lived in Compton since 1965. Then we head to one of the West Side's many hole-in-the-wall studios, where L gets to work recording with his friend Earl Swavey and producer Larry Jayy.
