Nas x Q-Tip x The Roots - One Love & The World Is Yours (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

This month Nas celebrates the 20th anniversary of his classic debut album and arguably one of the most important Hip-Hop offerings of all time; "Illmatic". Next week sees the release of "Illmatic XX" and last night he appeared on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" to perform "One Love" from it. Backed by The Roots, Nas also welcomed the producer and guest of the song, Q-Tip to help out.

Nas looks pretty much how he did back in 1994 with the black military jacket and Timbs. Hip-Hop personified right here.

Props to Yardie for the video. They also performed "The World Is Yours". Check the NBC player below "One Love".

Talib Kweli Live for Boombox's Off The Record (Video)

BKMC Talib Kweli performs a few songs for Boombox's "Off The Record" live series. His most well known track "Get By" is one of the songs, along with "Turnt Up" and a surprising cover of Iggy Pop and The Stooges' "Search & Destroy". Surprising only because I've never heard Kweli sing before!

Check the videos below and make sure you pick up his new album "Gravitas" available directly from the man himself at Kweli Club.

Schoolboy Q Live at SXSW (Video)

This past week Austin, Texas saw a huge increase in high profile artists performing at the annual South By South-West Festival. Typically a hub for new talent and unheard artists, it seems those days are long gone especially when you have acts like Coldplay, Jay Z and Kanye West doing shows for giant companies like Samsung.

Man of the moment Schoolboy Q has been garnering a great amount of attention this past year and with the eventual release of his album "Oxymoron". He's maybe not at the lofty heights of those mentioned above or his fellow TDE brother Kendrick Lamar (who was also at SXSW) but I think he's an act a lot of people came out to see.

Below you can check out his rowdy full performance at the iTunes Festival during the SXSW week. Props to Yardie for the video.

Unfortunately the full show has been taken down but here's a video from Vibe where he performed The Alchemist laced "Break The Bank".

There'll also be a chance for you to catch him live in Manchester with support from Isaiah Rashad when they perform on the 1st of June. A show I'm looking forward to.

Trombone Shorty & Friends NBA AllStar Game Half-time Show (Video)

New Orleans was definitely represented for the half-time show of the NBA AllStar Game with the city's very own Trombone Shorty and his band Orleans Avenue setting it of with some Nawlins funk. They were joined on stage by legendary artist Doctor John, as well as Guy Clark Jr., a show stealing Janelle Monae and the timeless Earth, Wind & Fire.

This was one of the better half-time shows in recent memory.

Pharrell Williams & Friends Introduce The NBA AllStars 2014 (Video)

Last year was one of the biggest and most successful years in Pharrell Williams' career so far. It was no surprise then, to see him as the musical guest to introduce the Western and Eastern Conference AllStars last night in New Orleans for the 2014 AllStar Game.

Performing a medley of some of his biggest hits over the years, he brought his own all star line up of guests to help him out. Appearances came from Nelly, Puff Daddy, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg and even a brief but welcome guest spot from Neptunes partner Chad Hugo.

Watch the full introduction video with medley below.
