This week there will be plenty of news coming from Austin, Texas this week as some of the biggest artist in the country will be performing as a part of South by Southwest (SXSW). SXSW will feature various concerts and panels showcasing music.  To kick off the events in Texas, Houston artist Bun B linked up with All-Star Producer Just Blaze and performed his verse from the Jay-Z track “Big Pimpin’” as well as provided a tribute Pimp C by performing his verse as well. Check out the video after the jump…

With Fabolous recently announcing The S.O.U.L. Tape 2, it definitely seems to me that fans were hype to hear some new music from him. First he blessed us with a new 2012 New York City anthem , “So NY” with Just Blaze. Now Fab graces us with yet another track titled “For The Love.” In this audi Fab tells us do whatever it is you have to do for the love of your life and everything will work out in your favor. Check after jump to hear the track and also The S.O.U.L. Tape 2 is dropping November 22 be on the look out for that. (more…)

Now available for pre-order on iTunes, Kendrick Lamar’s “good kid m.A.A.d city” album. If “The Recipe” or “Swimming Pools (Drank)” is one of your favorite Kendrick tracks then you’ll definitely love this one. Produced by Just Blaze, K Dot leaks a track off his upcoming album titled “Compton” featuring Dr. Dre. Take a listen after jump to hear the California OG and prince spit lyrics representing their hometown. (more…)

Just Blaze makes his directorial debut for this track off of Cuey’s most recent mixtape, Can’t Wait. Mike Posner has a verse on the original song, but it was left out of the video “because of the treatment.” Whatever that means. Posner probably thought that he was cooler than Cuey. See what I did there? Anyway, enjoy the visuals.

Anyone who knows how to maneuver around the Internet probably already has the album on their computer by now. Since we’re not in the business of posting entire albums around here, take this standout track from Drake’s Take Care. The Just Blaze orchestrated “Lord Knows” has been the talk of Twitter so far since it first leaked earlier tonight.

And gauging from the production, it’s not hard to understand why.

Bonus: You know what, since you’re already here, take these two as well – Drizzy’s collaboration with The Weeknd “Crew Love” and the final version of “The Real Her” equipped with an additional verse from Andre 3000.

Every song has a story into its creation. When those details emerge, however, only then does a greater appreciation arise for the record. Hov’s new e-home, Life & Times, caught up with Kansas‘ own XV into making of his “When We’re Done.” In sort of a Phil Jackson-type role, Just Blaze oversees the rapper and his producer Seven during the three nights at the Harlem studio, Stadium Red.

A snippet of this track leaked late December of last year, but now we have the finished product which is said to be a leftover track from the incredible ‘Recovery‘ album which recently won Best Rap Album at the Grammys.

Jay Electronica’s recent decision to break bread with Jay-Z and Roc Nation has been quite the topic for close to a month now. We all know Puffy - that’s what I still refer to him as – took the news hard and even had difficult times taking in oxygen.

All Hip Hop caught up with the man behind Jay’s biggest hit to date (“Exhibit C”), Just Blaze, to get his take on the move. Pretty much in this clip, Just says a lot without saying too much. It’s obvious he feels some type of way, but you have to respect the fact he didn’t say anything he might regret without talking to J.E. first.

For the love of good music though, let’s hope these two can continue a working relationship.
