3. The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America
We think the gift of literature is one that promises many returns and this offering from music journalist Marcus J. Moore examines the works of one of Hip-Hop’s greatest stars in Kendrick Lamar.

We’ve featured the Beats Flex in a review earlier this year but we’re bringing it back because, for starters, these are some really good headphones for the money. Yes, we know the wired thing might not be the move for some but if you can get past that, you’ll be giving someone a pair of headphones with good sound, and extremely solid battery life.
If you have a budding producer or beat-maker in your life, they probably have all the tools in the world at their disposable but do they have one on their phone or smart device? Probably not. That’s where the Koala Sampler from Elf Audio comes in.

Very Relaxed is a fashion brand that aims to keep the discerning Hip-Hop heads in your life looking, well, very relaxed. The brand’s fall collection features hats, hoodies, and an all-important face and body balm to keep the ashiness at bay. Created in part by tastemaker and world-class MC Fresh Daily, Very Relaxed is one to watch.
