Tuna Roll Freemix - Olu

Some hot new Olu for your listening pleasure. The last few tracks that he's dropped have been softer, and he's generally taken a more indie route for his sampling. This time, he shows us that he can still spit hard as hell on a real tough, bass heavy beat. Olu really shows us his diversity as an artist, proving again why he is one of my favorites. Enjoy this one.

The Coldplay Sessions (Mixtape) - M.i

The day has finally arrived. After all these fantastic leaks, M.i finally blesses us with the finished product known as The Coldplay Sessions. Let me just say, this mixtape is unreal. Every track is thoroughly enjoyable, and I have yet to find a single one that I don't like on this tape. In case you couldn't guess from the title of the mixtape, M.i takes a bunch of Coldplay's instrumentals and vocals and gives them an amazing and fresh feel. His flow is gorgeous on every single one of these self-produced tracks. This mixtape really is a masterpiece of artistry if you ask me. Anyway, I sound like I am hyping this up way too much, so just take a listen to a few of my favorites, cop the whole tape, and enjoy.

Grew Up Fast - J. Cole

Welcome back Cole. After his album dropped, he's been kind of floating in the background not doing a ton. I remember the days where I would be waiting anxiously for the new drop from Cole. It feels like forever ago, and in all honesty, I miss it. So when I saw this new drop from him accompanied with the following tweet:

"Missed this feelin. I know you did too. ENJOY"
I knew I had to press download. Let me tell you, it does not fail to impress because Cole absolutly kills this soulful joint. A great track from the extremely talented J. Cole, so enjoy it.

Alcohol (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


These guys just don't stop. Here's another unreal Timeflies Tuesday from Cal and Rob. This time Cal freestyles about the liquor he sees as he walking behind a bar with his mic, and to be honest, that sounds like a ridiculous concept, but he manages to spit straight gold. Plus, as always, Rob puts together a gorgeous, extremely catchy beat. You can't NOT enjoy this one.
