Pusha T, Tyler, The Creator & OFWGKTA on the Set of "Trouble On My Mind"

We heard about a Pusha T x Tyler, The Creator collaboration a while back, and now some evidence finally surfaces in these behind the scenes photos from the track's video shoot. A home has also been confirmed for the Neptunes produced song, as it will appear on Pusha's upcoming EP to be released this July. Below is a statement from Jason Goldwatch, the director of the video, regarding the concept of the music video, and hit the jump to see more photos from the set. 


"​For the 'Trouble on My Mind' video, the art is just as much in the destruction as in the creation. The dingy hotel room set will be demolished by a bunch of Odd Future's crew, including members Taco and Jasper Dolphin, within a couple of hours. As they begin to trash the room for the camera, Goldwatch repeatedly tells them to calm down, almost like a dad telling his kids to use their indoor voices. Teenage-boy testosterone sucks the air out of the space almost as much as the fumes of fireworks and spray paint do. Pusha T has disappeared. Tyler's tricks, like purposefully stumbling off his crutches and into the bedside dresser, are funny to newcomers, but it's getting late."

Kid Cudi - "Angels & Demons"

An unreleased joint from Cudder's first album, Man On The Moon: The End of Day, hits the blogs today, and was originally intended to feature The Clipse. I miss this Cudi, and hopefully his (supposed) upcoming mixtape returns to this sound rather than that MOTM2 vibe.

MTV Chronicles Casey Veggies' Graduation

On the day of the 17 year old Inglewood rapper's high school graduation, MTV documented Casey Veggies' journey, sitting down with him as well as his family, friends, and English teacher. Those involved discussed how well Young Veggies has balanced his schoolwork with his music career, which can be evidenced by his graduating on the honor roll with a 3.5 GPA.



"Veggies realized that he could have quit school to pursue his dreams, but he never felt the need to. He knew he could handle it, so why not get school done? As for college, though his mother says he was accepted to four schools, he’s postponing those plans while he sees where his rap career goes.
'At the end of the day, I’m just dreaming right now,' Casey said. 'I’m going to stay in my dream and don’t plan on waking up. If I do, maybe I’ll grab a college degree, but right now, I’m in my own world.'"

Earl Sweatshirt's Friend from Samoan Academy Reveals New Yorker Interview is Fake; Talks About Earl and Life at Academy

Complex has done it again. A couple months ago, after loads of research, the magazine finally found Odd Future's long, lost member Earl Sweatshirt in a Samoan Academy for troubled youth. During the digging, Complex found Tyler Craven, an alumni from the academy, on Facebook, who was a huge key to coming to the final conclusion of Earl's whereabouts. Being finally back home, Craven's facebook page has been a hot spot for OF fans due to the information he knows regarding Earl and the ways of Coral Reef Academy.  Many a fan have hit up Craven's page, asking him a number of questions about everything ranging from the New Yorker interview's credibility to Earl's relationship with his mother. Complex compiled all of these posts/comments into one super-post, and seeing as though I would never want to do all that work, we'll just link you to their article

Kanye West Angered By Bogus "Mama's Boyfriend" Leak

Earlier this week, the long awaited Kanye West song "Mama's Boyfriend" surfaced on the internets, surprising and exciting us all. Apparently, Ye was surprised as well, as the vocals of the track were stolen from him by an unknown person/party and released over a beat of their own. They then proceeded to release it, saying it was entirely Kanye West's song. Kanye and/or his management released this statement below:



The version of the Kanye West recording “Mama’s Boy” that arrived on blog sites earlier this week is entirely bogus and unsanctioned, and violates the artist’s creative intentions. As is often the unfortunate case, an unknown party or parties got a hold of Kanye West’s vocal track and added their own soundbed to it, effectively and falsely releasing it as a Kanye West track from the My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sessions. The result in no way resembles the final song Kanye West intended his fans to hear, and he is deeply disappointed that one of the most personal, meaningful and special songs he has ever written would reach people in this way. Needless to say, measures are being taken to identify and prosecute the persons responsible for leaking this material."

J. Cole - "Lost Ones"

A controversial track that was partially released long ago, "Lost Ones" is randomly leaked fully. Doubtful this one ends up on his upcoming debut LP, but Jermaine has stated that he's done recording for the album. However, he frustratingly admitted that it won't drop until around September. This is definitely one of Cole's deepest songs as of yet.

MellowHype - "64" (Video)

Hodgy Beats and Left Brain unleash their first music video as the OF duo MellowHype. A track from their previous mixtape BLACKENEDWHITE, "64" and the entire project is receiving a July 12th re-release featuring new songs, music videos, and a physical copy via Fat Possum Records. It being only the second OFWGKTA project to cost anything whatsoever, you Golf Wangers definitely need to go out and purchase it. Artwork for the re-release can be seen after the jump. Anyway, the visual is disturbing and entertaining as ever, and Hodgy continues to slay Left Brain's dark, hard-hitting backdrops.

Frank Ocean Working With Kanye West and Jay-Z

Odd Future is duhh #WINNING. Frank Ocean working with Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch The Throne. SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG! On his Tumblr post Ocean wrote:  “I don’t wanna spoil too much for you, but.. you’re on a plane right now to the East coast to work with Kanye West and Jay-Z. It’s all working out kid. You made it.” More details coming I'm sure. Production? Singing? Both? We'll be sure to find out with the rumored July 4th release date of Watch The Throne. While I believe that is too soon of a date knowing how much Kanye West loves to push back dates, we will see.
