Moving up the late night ranks, Tyler and his OF cohorts graduated from Fallon and moved on to The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday night, performing Wolf standout, "Rusty."

Justin Timberlake Performs "Mirrors" on LNJF

Just as advertised, JT returned to Rockefeller Plaza on Tuesday night to serve as musical guest once again on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The gig will continue throughout the week in order to promote the release of his third solo album The 20/20 Experience, which hits stores on March 19th.



After playing "Pusher Love Girl" on Monday, Timberlake and The Roots cranked out an incredible version of his second single and my personal favorite release "Mirrors." Expect a video a day for the rest of the week and check back often for updates on his quickly approaching new LP.

Justin Timberlake Performs "Pusher Love Girl" on LNJF

Following his fifth gig as SNL host this past weekend, JT will spend the entire week as musical guest on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The The 20/20 Experience crooner kicked things off last night by performing the LP's "Pusher Love Girl."



Watch the performance above, and get excited for March 19th, when JT's third solo album will finally hit stores.

Kendrick Lamar Performs "Poetic Justice" on Late Show

KWT favorites ran amok on national television tonight, causing grandparents everywhere to cringe and head to bed early. An hour before Tyler took Jimmy's stage, Kendrick got familiar with the folks at the Ed Sullivan Theater, performing his good kid, m.A.A.d city cut "Poetic Justice" live on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Tyler, The Creator Returns to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Two years after his first network television appearance, Tyler, The Creator and the OF crew graced Late Night with Jimmy Fallon's stage once again, this time performing Tyler's Wolf singles "TreeHome" and "Domo 23." His vocals slipped for a moment and he tweeted his apologies, but once again, Tyler and his cohorts did their thing on national television, surely leaving people curious and wanting more.



It's always dope to hear how Questlove and The Roots bring Wolf Haley's beats to life, and the smooth jazziness of "TreeHome" was right up my alley. Juxtapose that against the typical loudness of "Domo 23" and I honestly don't have any idea what to expect from Wolf, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Tyler's second solo LP drops April 2nd. Golf. Wang.

Made In America Festival Performances (Video)

Day 1 of Jay-Z's Made In America Music Festival kicked off yesterday in Philly, with a slew of notable hip hop acts taking center stage. Hit the jump to catch live performances from Maybach Music, Jay Electronica, G.O.O.D. Music, and, of course, Hov himself.

J. Cole Previews "Chaining Day" at Open Mic Night

It's been a cold summer for J. Cole, who's not been heard since his debut LP dropped in September of 2011. Last night, though, Cole dropped by an old classmate's venue on open mic night to kick his newest verse acapella for the onlooking fans.



Jermaine might have been quiet throughout his hiatus, but this proves he hasn't been lazy. New material from the Prince of Roc Nation coming soon.

Frank Ocean Performs on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Just hours after prematurely releasing his newest, buzzed about LP Channel Orange, Odd Future's suave songster makes his television debut, performing said album's joint "Bad Religion." Although Frank's already got a much more solid following than Tyler and company had when Jimmy invited them to perform, it'll be interesting to see what the national stage does for his audience.

Action Bronson Live at Princeton House Party (Video)

Over the past weekend, Action Bronson and Raekwon performed live at what seemed to be a private fraternity house party at esteemed ivy league institution, Princeton University. Bronsolino said screw the stage and performed joints like Blue Chips' "Steve Wynn" while walking through crowds of shirtless frat boys clad in Ray Bans and pink shorts. The Flushing, Queens rep seemed at home, though, interacting with students, smoking his (XL) doob and heading indoors to grab a bagel just before going in on the Dr. Lecter standout "Barry Horowitz." This guy can do no wrong in my book, and is quickly ascending on my list of current favorite emcees.



This video really makes me wanna catch Bam Bam live. Too dope.

Frank Ocean Debuts New Track At Coachella

I think that first time around Frank wasn't happy with the sound so he stopped mid way into playing this new track but we finally got a more full version of the song.


Wiz Khalifa Debuts New Track In San Francisco

Wiz plays a new track from the San Fran crowd titled "Word Hard, Play Hard". The sound quality is shit in the video but you can get the gist of the song when the chorus hits. It sounds like Wiz is set to have another radio friendly track. This one sounding like it's not some of the poppy bullshit some his fans have been fed up with. After apologizing for the poppy sounds on Rolling Papers and releasing a solid mixtape, it seems Wiz is back to his old ways. KWT is excited.

2Pac Resurrected via Hologram at Coachella 2012 (Video)

 Last night at Coachella's week one peak performance featuring Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, the late, great Tupac Shakur was brought to life using 3D hologram technology. Pac "performed" his solo joint "Hail Mary" before moving into "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with Snoop. Although he was only projected for a few minutes, check out the appearance below.



This is absolutely insane. What do y'all think? Was it cool for Dre, Snoop, and co. to do this?

Frank Ocean Coachella 2012 Performance (Video)

Remember when Jay-Z's SXSW Performance streamed live on the webs back in March? This year, Coachella's taking a page out of their book by streaming all performances live via YouTube. For KWT, the first relevant act was Frank Ocean, whose entire set can be seen below, all from the comfort of your couch.

Lollapalooza Official 2012 Line-Up (Video)

Chicago's annual music festival is set to feature some big names in hip hop this year, with artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Wale, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino, and more headlining the three day event. This year, rather than releasing the typical, boring line-up list, the creative group behind the festival made this interesting video, announcing all of the artists who will perform.



With Lolla being right in KWT's backyard, who knows, maybe we'll see you there this year.

Odd Future Performs "Rella" (Video)

I'm more of an HD, movie-quality performance kinda viewer, but some people fuck with this type of shit. With that in mind, and knowing OF cronies hang around KWT (no hate), I thought I'd drop this off. It's a Sunday, come on.



Enjoy your Easter, and much love!

Official Footage of Jay-Z at Carnegie Hall

American Express has come through in the clutch, delivering official, HD-quality footage of Hov at Carnegie Hall. The clips are definitely worth watching. It was clearly an historic night, for many reasons, and it sounds fantastic. Jay-Z with a backing orchestra? Count me in. There's been three videos thus far, and the fact I don't have to watch shifty, trash phone camera footage makes me a very happy KWTer. "Public Service Announcement" right here.



After the jump, a very rousing performance of Blueprint classic "U Don't Know," and "On to the Next One" sans an appearance from Mr. Keys. Click play, and act like you were there. Updated with footage of "Jigga What, Jigga Who." Also, catch Jay's SXSW show at 8 pm EST, as it's streamed live on Youtube.

The Throne at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (Video)

Tonight's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (ooh la, la) featured performances from a few big artists, most notably Kanye and Jay-Z, who rocked their superhit "N*ggas In Paris." Just once this time.
