Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly
After the huge success that followed Kendrick's sophomore record, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City, everyone has been anticipating his next album. Earlier this week, Kendrick surprisingly dropped To Pimp a Butterfly without anyone knowing it was going to drop. The album is full of jazz and funk rhythms with Kendrick's artistic lyrics molding it all together.
If you want to get a good feel of the album check out the song Alright and even Mortal Men. [hip-hop]

Of Monsters and Men – Crystals
Of Monsters and Men have finally released their first single Crystals since their release of the critically-acclaimed album My Head is an Animal. The song is from their upcoming album titled Beneath the Skin. If you liked previous songs from them such as Little Talks or King and Lionheart you will definitely appreciate the sound of Crystals.

Xbox Video
Interstellar
Christopher Nolan does it again, with what is easily one of my favorite films of 2014. The earth has been consumed by global warming and has become uninhabitable with corn being the only produce that is still alive. This is where Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway step in as they take on the stars to find humanities last hope.

Empire
Since it first started, Empire has been the talk of the town. This show follows a prominent music label as they find out its CEO has a terminal illness. The CEO's three sons and ex-wife are all fighting to become the successor of his throne. This week the show made waves with its two-hour finale that was filled with twists and turns. If you missed it you can grab it on Xbox Video.
