Today Jake&Papa are celebrating their anniversary — but they are nowhere near being new to the game. After choosing the independent route, these two brothers embarked on a self-ruling journey.

In celebration of their hustle, they unveil a surprise rendition of one of their current favorite songs, Fine China, in dedication to those who held them down through it all — #TeamJP

“May 15th 2013… 2 years ago today, we got up from a fall. Dusted off our shoulders, drama & all & faced the world, back to back, against all odds. From our hearts to yours, 15 songs. 3 tapes, 49 songs & 8 videos later, we stand, stronger than ever! 2 souls & a microphone. And it’s all because of You. You showed your love so we could show the world We ride together, we fly forever. #TeamJP… Eternal”

Their EP, Athena’s Erotica, hits iTunes later this year — before that, expect a Single For Summerproject just in time fo… well, summer! Enjoy these soulful brother’s Fine China cover, below.

Check out new project from Roc Nation emcee J.Cole. According to J.Cole he woke up early today and decided to share music with his fans. Also, read J.Cole’s message to his fans.

“It’s time.

I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have. Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) . Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait.

Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul.. The wait is over.

Truly Yours,

Born Sinner

PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.”

Today, not only do we celebrate MLK’s leadership, but we also remember Aaliyah Dana Haughton’s legacy on what would have been her 33rd birthday. Did you know that her favorite song she ever did was I Care 4 U? Yup, in a statement years ago she said:

My favorite song is I Care 4 U. I listened to it right when I finished One in a Million. It’s a timeless, classic song.

I agree. It was, and still is, a CLASSIC. Click HERE for some of her best work.

According to Kanye West and his tweets, him and JayZ are set to release a 5-song album:

“Me and Jay bout to drop a 5 song album called “Watch the Throne.’ ”

Nice! Kanye promised us that he’ll be dropping NEW music every Friday until Christmas – incase you missed last week’s song, scroll down. We posted it a few days ago, titled MONSTER with Jay Z, Rick Ross, and Nicki Minaj. That’s what we like to call, a SLAPPER!!
