The beauty of Apple Music lies in the nooks and crannies of the streaming service. For instance, artists' Connect profiles, essentially Apple's exclusive social networking platform. Or the diverse offering of curated radio shows. Along with the likes of OVOSound and Dr. Dre's The Pharmacy, Soulection-- a Los Angeles collective of producers and DJs like Sángo and esta-- hosts a set every Saturday featuring The Sound of Tomorrow. Progressive, introspective, and fluid vibes describe Soulection so support by Jaden Smith is not unexpected. But, certainly welcome after recently expounding upon his "misfit" movement, calling it individualism fused with collaborative spirit. He stopped by Joe Kay's Soulection show on Beats 1 over the weekend to deliver a freestyle over Mr. Carmack's "1994" instrumental; the song expands Jaden's message encouraging everyone to find themselves through self expression-- listen below.

Ta-ku x Jaden Smith - Beast Mode /
At the age of 15 Jaden Smith could clearly see the host of non-believers in his rap talent quickly coming to devalue and under appreciate his work. Their doubt has remained constant throughout Smith's short career, but with every one of his new releases he changes the critics' minds. A new song with self-proclaimed "Genre Killer", Ta-ku, has appeared today that Jaden actually recorded at 15 years-old, and should put all negative commentary to rest. In the 9-minute track, "Beast Mode", the budding star proclaims, "Let me introduce you to rap, you jokers are bleeding on my adidas," going rhyme after rhyme explaining why he is not to be messed with. It is time to listen. Enjoy "Beast Mode" from Ta-ku x Jaden Smith below.
