[Watch] Kendrick Lamar Brings "Poetic Justice" to David Letterman

Kendrick Lamar follows his fantastic Saturday Night Live appearance with a performance on the Late Show with David Letterman. Once again bringing the good kid, m.A.A.d. city cut "Poetic Justice" to the late-night stage, Lamar dished out his lyrics and flow with ease.

[Watch] Tyler, The Creator Debuts New Song "Treehome95" on Fallon

Almost exactly two years ago, Odd Future made their television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This was back when OFWGKTA was blowing up, and it was one of the most memorable late-night performances in recent memory. Last night, Tyler, The Creator paid Jimmy a long overdue visit to promote his new album Wolf.

During his visit, Tyler debuted a brand new track titled "Treehome95", which saw him skillfully navigating a grand piano as Coco Maja Hastrup Karshøj of the Danish duo Quadron delivered some stunning vocals. This led quickly into Tyler's already released single "Domo 23", with Domo Genesis joining him on stage for an awesome, energetic performance. Apparently Tyler didn't think so. Check it out below.

[Watch] Unknown Mortal Orchestra Make Late-Night Debut on Fallon, Perform "So Good at Being in Trouble"

Unknown Mortal Orchestra brought their unique rock stylings to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, making their late-night television debut with the II cut "So Good at Being in Trouble". Check out their fuzz-laden performance above (note: the video is only available to those living within the U.S.).

UMO's sophomore album II is out now on Jagjaguwar.

[Listen] Stream Major Lazer's New Single, "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)"

Major Lazer are doing their best to please fans after recently delaying Free the Universe, first offering up one of three free mixtapes. Now, the Diplo-led collective has offered up "Watch Out For This (Bumaye)", the next single from their upcoming sophomore effort, which pushes forward with sweaty jungle influences that draw you deep into its alluring exotic rhythms. It's sexy, it's intoxicating, and it has me very excited to hear the full album.

Free the Universe has no firm release date, but in the meantime you can catch Major Lazer on the road. Check out their full tour, which kicks off on February 28th, after the jump.
