Two Presidents - YG Hootie ft. Kendrick Lamar

YG Hootie and Kendrick actually went to high school together in Compton, so if you ever needed a reason to stay in touch with high school friends: the possibility of getting together later in life and making a sick rap track. Check it out below.

Children Of The Sun - Vic Mensa

Vic Mensa decided to liberate a track from the vaults. It may be new to us, but Children Of The Sun is actually a record from back in 2010, and if it does anything, it shows us that Vic really has been killing it for quite some time. Peep it below.

TKO (Remix) - Justin Timberlake ft. J. Cole, A$AP Rocky & Pusha T

Alright so I've really been really slacking the last couple days, so I figured I would come back with a bang. In case you missed it, JT released an official remix to his track TKO, and it features some sick verses from some seriously big hitters. Cole jumps in first (and he actually addresses Kendrick's Control verse), Rocky comes in with his classic flow, and then Pusha T rounds it out perfectly. This track is a must download.

Rap God (Video) - Eminem


One of the many standouts off Em's MMLP2 gets a new video. Enjoy it.

Will Calls (Diplo Remix) - Grizzly Bear

Unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable. I really don't know how else to describe this new Diplo remix. He takes on Grizzly Bear's mellow track Will Calls, turns up the energy and twists it into something that's just plain magical. Do yourself a solid and press play on this one. I promise that you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Fly (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


Well it's almost turkey day for some (all you Americans out there), so Timeflies decided to do an appropriately themed Timeflies Tuesday. Check it out above.

Escape Me Home - 3LAU

It all started so simple. With just a few thousand fans on facebook back in July of 2011, he released some visuals for his mash Yacht Week In America. That was when I first heard of 3LAU, and I said then that he was going to make waves in the industry. Well I don't want to brag or anything, but I was completely right. Here it is, two and a half years later, and he's celebrating 200,000 fans of facebook by releasing a new track.  Enjoy it below.

Turn It Up - PRFFTT & Svyable ft. Jonny Rose

Need something to get you through the rest of the week? Well here's a new drop from PRFFTT & Svyable that can do just that. An unreal new track off their Super//Natural EP that I can guarantee will have you pressing play over and over again. Seriously, do yourself a solid and press play and then download.

Turn Me Loud (Video) - Sol


Sol somehow always manages to fly under my radar. His flow is consistently spectacular, and he always manages to make really enjoyable tracks. Don't let yourself miss this one. It's actually a cut off his Eyes Open EP, which if you haven't gotten yet, check it out for sure.

Bound 2 (Solidisco Remix) - Kanye West ft. Charlie Wilson

I had never actually heard of Solidisco before, but after seeing Seth Rogan and James Franco's Bound 3 video, I had this track on my mind, so when I saw this remix, I just had to check it out. When I pressed play I can honestly say that I was impressed. I'll let this one speak for itself, so check it below.

Throwback - B.o.B ft Chris Brown

Yet another cut off B.o.B's upcoming Underground Luxury. This time it's got a feature from Breezy. Once again,  it's not a stand out lyrically speaking but it's catchy as hell. Cop it below.

Leopard Shepherd (Video) - The Underachievers


Nothing wrong with some new visuals from The Underachievers. They decided to shoot a video in Paris for one for one of my favorites off Indigoism, so definitely check it out above.

Leftovers 2 (Mixtape) - OnCue

Ever since OnCue dropped Can't Wait last November, we've been treated to a consistent slew of great tracks. Well one year later, it's all come down to this point: Leftovers 2. Twelve tracks of pure gold. We've been privy to half the tape already (Rich Kid, Machines, Never Do Better, New Religion, Staring At The Sun and Live Forever), but the other half is just as good, if not better, and it'll will STILL leave you craving more. Definitely do yourself a favor and download this one.

Say Something - Futuristic ft. Jerrin Jaramillo


Hearing Futuristic on a track like this is just spectacular. For this one, he slowed down his flow, and injected his lyrics with raw emotion. I don't even wan't to try and hype this one up, because I think it can really speak for itself. Enjoy it.

Fired Up - Kid Ink ft. Styles P

Kid Ink is nothing if not predictable with his tracks, but it's always good to hear a verse from Styles P. Check it below.

Thursday, November 21, 2013

Open Letter Freestyle - Gunplay

MMG's Gunplay jumps in on Hova's beat, and he actually doesn't do half bad. Check it below.

Drinking & Driving - Jhené Aiko

It's official: I think I'm in love with Jhené Aiko. Her voice is amazing, she's been on tracks with guys like Logic, ScHoolboy Q, Ab Soul, J.Cole, Wale, Big Sean, Drake and of course Gambino, PLUS she's drop dead gorgeous. What more could you ask for really? And even though she just released her project Sail Out, she's right back at it and has put together a brand new track for our listening pleasure. Check it below.

Never Gonna Walk Away (Video) - The Original Rudeboys


I feel like I've said it 100 times at this point, but there really is something magical about The Original Rudeboys' sound. The amazing blend of beautiful vocals, infectious Irish rapping, and flawless melodies is something that really can't be ignored. Check it out above.

Staring At The Stars - OnCue

I didn't even press play on this one before downloading it. First off, I know OnCue is always fantastic, but more importantly, it's a cut off his upcoming project, Leftovers 2. In case you didn't know, Leftovers was an unreal tape from Cuey that dropped nearly 3 years ago, so to see that it finally has a sequel is amazing. Definitely be on the watch for that, coming November 25th. Enjoy this treat until then.

Far Alone - G-Eazy ft. Jay Ant


G-Eazy has been on fire lately. Now it may be a bit early to call this one, but I think this track might be up there as one of my favorites from G-Eazy, which is really saying something. Check it out above and make your own opinions. And on somewhat of a side note, this is actually the first single off his upcoming project, These Things Happen, which is slated for this February. Enjoy it.

SMFWU (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


If you look at your calender, you might notice that it is Wednesday evening. What that means is that Tuesday was yesterday, and if we were lucky, Timeflies would release a Timeflies Tuesday track. Well, as you might be able to tell above, we were lucky, and the guys hit us with a brand new track. Enjoy it.

The Will - Mazon


It's been a long while since I've heard anything from Mazon, but when I heard this one, I couldn't let it slide. His flow is tight, his rhymes are impressive, and this beat is sick. Overall, an great track, so don't miss out.

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Man Of The Year - ScHoolboy Q

Oxymoron is going to be absolutely sick. Every single leak off ScHoolboy Q's upcoming project has been straight fire, and this latest is no exception. I really hope that the release date doesn't get pushed back any further than it already, because waiting until January is long enough. Anyway, check out the newest below.

The Monster (Remix) - PropaneLv


Lv is back at it again. This newest one is actually probably one of my favorite remixes that he's put together, and that's really saying something, because he's done a LOT of unreal remixes. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

Pound Cake (Remix) - Futuristic

This new track from Futuristic is probably one of the best Pound Cake remixes that I think I've heard, and let me just say, I've heard a lot of them. I'm not going to talk this one up, and I'll just let it speak for itself. Check it below.

Monday, November 18, 2013

Gas Pedal (Video) - Mike Stud


Last night we got treated to the return of Sunday Stud Day. Mike Stud put his own signature spin on the hit track from earlier this year, Gas Pedal. Check it out above.

100 Shots - Teddy Bear ft. Pretty Boy Cuv

I'm watching Monday night football right now, so I think it's pretty safe to say that the weekend is over. Well it doesn't feel like it anymore after hearing this banger from Teddy Bear and my boy Pretty Boy Cuv. Definitely don't miss out on this one.

Sunrise Martini (Video) - Pries


There's something about Pries that hooks me every time I listen to him, and this latest is a testament to that once again. I just can't stop listening to Sunrise Martini. It's actually a cut off his Honey Jack mixtape, which dropped back in October, so if you missed it, definitely check it out. Enjoy the visuals.

The Trip - M.i

Yet another M.i track that I managed to sleep on. Although I'm a couple days late on this one, time really can't take anything away from it, because as always, M.i does an amazing job. It's actually a cut off a compilation tape from Ok-Tho.com, but you can cop just this gem below.

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Phoenix (Video) - A$AP Rocky


I'm a huge A$AP Rocky fan. I don't care if some people said that LONG.LIVE.A$AP didn't live up to the hype, because in my mind, it did. Phoenix is one of the coolest tracks off the album, so when I saw that A$AP Rocky had released a set of visuals for it, I was all over them. Then when I saw that it starred Michael K. Williams (Omar from The Wire), I had even more reason to check it out. I'll be straight though, I'm not 100% sure I understand what happens in the video, but give it a watch anyway.

Must Be Twice (EP) - Christoph Andersson x G-Eazy

When Christoph Andersson jumped in and remixed G-Eazy's track Plastic Dreams back in April, it was pure magic. Well he's back, but this time he's taken 5 G-Eazy tracks in total (Lady Killers, Plastic Dreams, Mad, Marilyn and Hello), and created gold once again. Each track has been spun into a gorgeously airy gem that makes you just want to sit back and relax. Do yourself a solid and check them out below.

3005 (Lyric Video) - Childish Gambino


By far one of the most original lyric videos I have ever seen. Plus it appropriately matches up with the title of Bino's upcoming album, Because The Internet. A really cool video for an absolutely amazing track (probably one of the best of 2013 in my opinion). Enjoy it.

Benihana - Jeezy ft. Rocko & 2 Chainz

Yeah. This sounds exactly like you would think it would sound. Jeezy does his thing, 2 Chainz is, well, 2 Chainz, and Rocko isn't awful. On a little bit of a side note, I'd like to point out that Jeezy has been on fire lately. Check it below.

Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Background - Collin McLoughlin

Well he's back again. Once again, Collin McLoughlin steps up behind the boards, but this time he's put together a completely original mix, and tossed in some of his own vocals as well. A bit more high energy than what you might be used to hearing from Collin, but seriously impressive none the less. Don't sleep.

Henny - ANTHM

I will admit that this probably isn't my favorite ANTHM track, but that definitely doesn't mean that it's not a good one. I still stand by the statement that ANTHM is one of the most talented underdogs in the game right now, so start paying attention. Enjoy it.

Devil May Cry - The Weeknd

In case you couldn't guess from the artwork above, this latest gem from The Weeknd is a cut off the upcoming Catching Fire soundtrack. I just can't stop listening to this one, so do yourself a favor and check it below.

Tuesday, November 12, 2013

Pull Me In - Trademark

Anybody down for a Tuesday night rager? Because I am after hearing this newest mash from Trademark. Seriously, he's managed to create the perfect blend of catchy and hardcore rage out that's bound to get you hyped. Without a doubt this one's going on my weekend playlist. Do yourself a favor and press play/download.

All That I Know (Video) - OCD: Moosh & Twist ft. Hoodie Allen


Another set of artists who can do no wrong. Moosh and Twist always put together tracks that get stuck in your head for days, and this one is no different. Plus Hoodie's flow on his verse is straight frosty. Enjoy the track.

Kids (The Chainsmokers Remix) - Mikky Ekko

Once again, The Chainsmokers have taken an already great track, put their signature spin on it and made it 100 times better. I really don't think that these two can do any wrong. It seems that every single track they put together ends up in constant rotation on iPod, and this one is going to be no different. Peep it below.

Jim Morrison (Video) - Jon Bellion


Mr. Jon Bellion is back with the final single off his upcoming free album, The Seperation, and just like his previous releases (New York Soul, One More Time and Ungrateful Eyes), it is fantastic. I've said it countless times before, but there's just something thoroughly enjoyable about his sound. Anyway, enjoy this track, and look out for The Seperation on December 10th. Enjoy.

Canned Laughter - XV

Vizzy has officially returned. If you didn't believe it after hearing Guess Who & Melrose last week, you sure will now. This all new, full length track that makes me think that XV is building up to something big, so be on the watch.

Swing Life Away (Video) - MGK ft. Kellin Quinn


As you all probably know by now, I'm not a huge fan of long intros in music videos. That being said, this one definitely has a long opening (the track doesn't start will 1:50), but it's actually not too bad. In case you missed this gem when it dropped on Machine Gun Kelly's Black Flag mixtape, he takes on the classic Rise Against track and puts his own signature MGK spin on it. Enjoy the visuals above.

Monday, November 11, 2013

Kunishi - Michael Christmas

I've been waiting to hear something new from Michael Christmas ever since hearing his track Michael Cera last month, and now the time has finally arrived. Once again, he takes a twisted industrial beat and laces it with his quick witted lyricism. There's just something about his sound that hooks you. Check it below.

These Niggas - OverDoz ft. Nipsey Hussle

Here's another track from LA newcomers OverDoz, off their upcoming mixtape, Boom, which drops on the 14th. I'll admit, it's not as good as Killer Tofu, but it's good enough to keep me interested and check out the tape in a few days. Check it out below and form your own opinions.


Beautiful Murder - Crooked I

If you're ever worried about the lyrical state of hip hop, all you have to do turn on some Crooked I, and you worries will be dissolved. This one's got a simple beat, just like always, that allows Crooked I's lyrical prowess to shine. Check it below.

Show Me (Video) - Kid Ink ft. Chris Brown


This is by far one of my favorite party jams as of late. This new video is exactly what you would expect from Breezy and Kid Ink, which is exactly what I said the track was like when it dropped back in September. Anyway, check it out above, and if you haven't yet, you need to cop this one for your party playlist.

Stay Ready - Jhene Aiko ft. Kendrick Lamar

The gorgeous and extremely talented Jhene Aiko has finally released her new EP, Sail Out, which I actually only learned about when I heard the track Bed Peace with Gambino a few days ago. Well the entire EP is out now, but just prior to its release, a snippet of this track was dropped. I couldn't stop listening to the snippet, so I couldn't wait to hear the full version. Well here it is, so enjoy.

Adams Song (PRFFTT & Svyable Remix) - Blink 182

So I downloaded this gem a few days ago now, and since then, I've been listening to it non stop. I hadn't actually heard of PFRRTT & Svyable before this track, but I'm glad I know them now, especially if they keep putting together great tracks like this one. Plus, who doesn't love Blink 182? Enjoy it.

Awesome (Video) - Sammy Adams


Something new for your Friday night from Sammy Adams. I will admit that when I first pressed play on this one, I wasn't overly impressed, but the more I listen the more it's starting to grown on me. Check the video out above.

Guess Who / Melrose - XV

Welcome back Vizzy. After what feels like years, XV is back at, and he's decided to to treat us with a double comeback. The first was a quick jump on the new Gambino beat from earlier today, Melrose, and then the second was an appropriate go over the classic Scarface track, Guess Who's Back. Check em both out below.

Guess Who

Melrose

Evidence - 2AM Club

Well 2AM Club has been hyping this new track up for a while now, and now that it's finally here, I can honestly say that it's actually pretty enjoyable. Maybe not the bombshell I was expecting, but overall quite satisfying. Check it below.

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

The Weekend (Video) - Luke Christopher


Since downloading Luke Christopher's fantastic project, The Wonder Years: Part 1, last week, I can honestly say that it's been on constant repeat. Well here's his new video for The Weekend and it manages to suits the track perfectly, which is always fine with me. And if you haven't yet, you NEED to go downloaded the EP. Enjoy the visuals.

Girls (The Knocks Remix) - The 1975

Every single song that The Knocks touch turns to gold. Somehow they always maintain the sound of the original while still managing to make it drip in that fantastic Knocks vibe. Check out their newest below.

Call Your Girlfriend (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


You know what day it was yesterday? That's right, it was Timeflies Tuesday. Enjoy.

Nostalgia (Mixtape) - CJ Trillo

It's been just under a year (4 days under to be exact) since CJ Trillo released his mixtape Heavy, and I can honestly say that it still finds itself in constant rotation on my iPod, which is a huge compliment, because I move through music unbelievably quickly. That being said, Nostalgia is an absolutely gorgeous mixtape, and I can confidently say that it's going to quickly find itself on the top of my Most Played list. I really don't know how else to describe this new project from CJ Trillo other than truly magical. I've been a fan of his for a while now (since I first heard his track Give You More, when he was still known as Sucka Free CJ, over 3 years ago), so to hear how far he's come as an artist is just plain amazing. His lyricism has become truly refined, and his flow has evolved into something that's both original and enjoyable. I feel like I'm kind of gushing about this tape, but I really think that more people should get familiar with CJ, because his sound is something that is just plain great. Check it out below and you will not be disappointed.


Tuesday, November 5, 2013

So Far To Go (Freestyle) - Audio Push ft. Preston Harris

When Audio Push dropped the track Theme Song with T.I last month, I told you that I would be on the lookout for anything new from them. Well here's their latest and I can officially say that I'm a fan of theirs. Definitely not one to miss.


Still Livin' 2 - Freddie Gibbs


Not actually visuals for Gangsta Gibbs' newest track, but this video of OJ's freeway chase somehow manages to fit the track perfectly. Enjoy.

Pure - Doughboyz Cashout feat Jeezy & Pusha T

No surprises with this this one. When you see Doughboyz Cashout, Jeezy, Pusha T and Big KRIT all on the same track, you know that you're gonna hood banger. Even more so when you see it's all about coke. Cop it below.

Don't Need Much - Kings Dead

With the first release since their Revenge Of The Beast project, Kings Dead are back with a new one off their upcoming album, Utopia.  I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I really like where these guys have gone with their sound. It's evolved into something truly original and enjoyable. Check the track below.

Monday, November 4, 2013

My Own Lane - Kid Ink

Kid Ink put out the call to try and get up to 400,000 followers on twitter, and if he did, he would drop a track off his upcoming project, My Own Lane. Well he didn't hit the goal on twitter, but his instagram hit 400k, so he decided to drop it anyway. Well here it is, the title track off the tape. Enjoy this one.

Blue Chip 2 (Mixtape) - Action Bronson & Party Supplies

I'll be honest with all of you: Action Bronson is pretty hit or miss with me. Some of his stuff is absolutely on point, but then some of his stuff just doesn't vibe with me. That being said, I'll usually cop his projects if I think about about it, but I generally won't go out of my way for them. Well when I saw this one,  I had the same thought process, so I downloaded it and decided to give it a listen. Now that I've given it a full run though, I can officially say that I am impressed. Action Bronson actually manages to kill it on the majority (if not all) of the tracks on Blue Chips 2. Check it out below, and don't let yourself miss out on it.

Roller Coaster (Video) - YONAS ft. OCD


One of my favorites off YONAS' latest project, The Transition 2, now has some visuals to go along with it. Admittedly, they are a little simple, but they're enjoyable none the less. Check it out above, and if you haven't yet, go cop The Transition 2.

All I Want - B.o.B.

Definitely not one of Bobby Ray's best tracks, but you can't deny the fact that it's catchy as hell. This is the latest cut off his upcoming album (which now has artwork, as seen above), Underground Luxury, which drops December 17th.

The Grey (Video) - e-dubble


So I completely forgot to post e-dubble's First Friday drop last week, so for that I want to apologize. But better late than never, so here it is. For this month's release e-dub has taken up the energy a notch and has given us a track that you just can't stop listening to. The beat stays heavy, which is when e-dub's flow shines, but the vibe is much more of a party one. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Space Cadet - Flume ft. Ghostface Killah & Autre Ne Veut

Extremely odd collaboration, but that seems to be Ghostface Killah's M.O, and it actually works really well. This is a cut off the Australian producer upcoming mixtape, Flume: Deluxe Edition, so if you like this sound, watch for that one dropping November 11th. Enjoy.


Friday, November 1, 2013

The Wonder Years: Part 1 (EP) - Luke Christopher

Simply put: Luke Christopher is an amazing artist. His flow is as smooth as it comes, his rhymes are always meticulously crafted, and his production is just plain infectious. Seriously, if you're still sleeping on Luke, it's time to pay attention, because he's got the potential to take the game by storm. Check out the project below.


Angels (Video) - A$AP Rocky


Simple but entrancing video from A$AP Rocky for his track Angels, off his album Long.Live.A$AP. Don't really know what more to say about this one, so just check it above.

Legacy - Eminem

Em's entire MMLP2 can be streamed on iTunes now, but this track, in my opinion, is must download before it hits the shelves on Tuesday. Cop it below.

My Yout (Video) - Joey Bada$$


The more I hear from Joey Bada$$, the more I'm impressed. My Yout is a cut off his Summer Knights project, and the video was shot on trip to St. Lucia. Check it out above.

Think I Need U - Trademark

Start your Friday night off right with a rage inducing blend from Trademark. He takes Duke Dumont, Michael Calfan, Calvin Harris & Ashley Wallbridge and works his magic to create a great high energy mash. Enjoy it.
