Kendrick Lamar Breaks Silence On Rumors That He Left TDE

Apparently, it takes rumors of Kendrick Lamar leaving his label for him to come out of hiding. There have been serious rumors floating around the internet that Kendrick Lamar had left Top Dawg Entertainment to launch his mysterious company, pgLang. Mind you, no one has really known anything surrounding pGLang, nor has anyone in TDE provided a definitive answer, so the Internet just went along with the rumors.

Kendrick Lamar officially dispelled the rumors in a video shared on Top Dawg’s Instagram page. Titled, “a PSA from Kendrick Lamar,” the ever-elusive rapper clarified that he’s still part of the TDE roster and that Top should’ve informed the world about “pickle juice.” K. Dot didn’t necessarily explain what it was, either.

“Top, you got to stop them from smuttin’ my name, man. They been smuttin’ my name all year, man. You ain’t said nothin’, man,” he said. “Enough is enough, man. Y’all done said I done shifted the label and all that, man. They must don’t know about that pickle juice that’s under your red cap, man. About that sweat — the sweat that’s holdin’ up that red cap together. Reason why it don’t fall off your head, man. That lubricant. You need to tell ’em the reason why that cap don’t fall off your head. So why would I fall off?”

Kendrick isn’t to be seen in this video, pointing the camera to focus on a stuffed doll of Blue from Blue’s Clues fame. “Watchin’ cartoons, man,” K. Dot closes out the video.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
