Half Naked and Almost Famous - Machine Gun Kelly

Dope new MGK. This is a hot track, to go along with his youtube series that he has been releasing over the last couple months, with the same name. The sample is a Young Blood track, The Naked & Famous, and MGK spits fire as always. Honestly, if your not up on Machine Gun Kelly yet, you need to be. Enjoy it, and "Lace Up".

To Be Young and Alive - Huey Mack

The final leak from Huey Mack's up coming mixtape, Freshman 15. From the sound of this track, plus the other leaks, this tape is going to be one huge anthem for anyone in college. Really catchy track, and Huey's rhymes are dope as always. Enjoy it, and get excited for Freshman 15.

Camera Zoom / Written In The Stars - Cato

I got sent these tracks yesterday, and I just got around to listening to them today. Both are actually pretty hot. I had never heard of Cato until these, but I guess he has a pretty solid following already (around 1600 fans on facebook). I definitely like what I hear. Cato hails from Minneapolis, and has been performing and writing music since his teen years. The first track, Camera Zoom, is a little bit pop-y, but has a solid upbeat sound, and Cato's flow is sick. The second track, Written In The Stars, Cato goes over Tinie Tempah's beat, and let me say, it's actually pretty dope. Check them out, and be on the watch for more from Cato.

Love Lost - Mac Miller

New joint from Mac. On his "Road to a Million Fans", he hit another milestone, 400000 followers on twitter. At this point, any new Mac is good Mac, and by now you should know his name. Enjoy.

Dancing In The Shadows (Video) - MC Imprint ft. Matt Embree


A long wait for this, but it was well worth it. Imprint has been hyping this video, for one of his tracks Dancing In The Shadows off his album, The First Impression, for weeks now. This emotion filled track is backed up perfectly by these visuals. I really don't have much to say about this, because to be honest, the visuals and the track speak completely for themselves. Both are great. Enjoy it, and watch for more from MC Imprint. You can grab the track below if you haven't already.

Fall Back - Lew Sid

This is actually sick. To be honest, I had never heard of Lew Sid before a friend of mine sent this track my way. From the second I pressed play, I was hooked. After the first play through, I had to listen 3 or 4 more times. The beat is catchy as hell, and his flow is unbelievable. The whole track has this little bit of a haunting feel that pulls you in, and has you wanting more after each line. Anyway, Lew Sid is from Virginia Beach, and has been making music since he was 12 years old. Here's a little bio from Lew Sid:
"I just look to do more than rap and aim to inspire and create visuals when I rhyme. I like to go through stories and events a lot as well it makes music all the more fun. Lived in the hood all my life, had family in friends who lived and still live that life, been to college and actually I still am.I never really fell into the trap of being subjected by surroundings or where I live or anything like that I've always strived to be myself but just being a genuine dude. I try to bring that same genuine feel to music and it's been a good ride thus far."
Dope track from a dope up and comer, so watch out. Enjoy.
