Jhene Aiko Talks Not Selling Sex, Childish Gambino, Drake, Pretty Bird, Nas + More
Exclusive in-depth interview with Jhene Aiko. In part 3 Jhene talks to Nick Huff Barili about why she chose to only have one rap feature in her album as opposed to her ep which featured many rappers. Jhene details that the only rap feature on Souled Out was Common on the albums final track Pretty Bird. After talking about how she made Pretty Bird, Jhene goes on to share her thoughts of Childish Gambino's recent statement that Rap is done. "I just fell like the lines are being blurred. There is no such thing as a rapper any more.
Every rapper sings now. Every singer raps now. They play the guitar. I think everyone is just experimenting and sort of drawing from all the things that we are exposed to which is everything." While stating that she doesn't find herself in competition with any other artists in particular, Jhene states that she is inspired by male rappers like Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Z more so than R&B artist. "I consider myself a lyricist and so I am definitely inspired by a lot rappers because all they have is their words....
The lyrics are the most important thing to me." When asked about the current state of R&B Jhene states "Specially with female artists it's all about selling sex and selling your body. The emphasis is not on the music or what you are saying." The interview ends with Jhene sharing her experience of touring with Nas and Drake.

Snippets of Kilo Kish’s Across EP | Via an Instagram
Wispy rapper/singer/artist Kilo Kish just shared snippets from her upcoming Across EP with a pretty sweet dedicated Instagram account. When viewed in grid mode on your phone, the account reveals immersive photography from a cross country road trip, as well as the eight song tracklist and cred to LA-based producer Caleb Stone.
The visual effect is gorgeous, and it’s a fairly deft promotional tactic, but we can’t imagine how grueling it was to upload the nearly 300 pics in one sitting considering the hell we go through trying to choose the right filter on a selfie.
Across drops July 8th.

Cormega | Rap Basquiat | Prod. By Large Professor
[via Spin]
Revered MC Cormega isn’t one to hold his tongue on or off of wax. Today, he returns on the former format with a very clear message on “Rap Basquiat.”
The brow raising song title is only the tip of the iceberg, as the Queensbridge kicks rhymes from the point of view of a person whose “lifestyle didn’t come from Rap until recently.” Having fully embraced his new hustle, Mega remains very candid while critiquing the Hip-Hop industry.
Backed by production from fellow Queens native Large Professor, the veteran wordsmith teaches a lesson on how to deliver potent lyrics with a crisp, dexterous flow.
Stream Cormega’s “Rap Basquiat” from his upcoming LP, Mega Philosophy, due out July 22 on Slimstyle Records, below. Share your thoughts on the record in the comments.
