Dead Gold (The Notorious B.I.G. x Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) - Chip Ivory

I like to have hipster thoughts, so that means I like to think that I was one of the first people to really become a fan of Macklemore. That being said, I'm also a huge sucker for anything with a B.I.G. sample. So when I saw this mix from fresh face Chip Ivory, I needed to check it out. I am impressed. Chip takes the vocals from Biggie's Dead Wrong, and blends them perfectly with Ryan Lewis' (and I guess Macklemore's too) beat from their track Gold. Definitely a track to check out.

Stay (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


How did I miss this one? I'm not going to try and explain it, so all I'm going to do is apologize. Enjoy the new Timeflies Tuesday.

Boston Bass - Clinton Sparks

Clinton Sparks gives us a huge banger that is perfect for any St. Patrick's pre-game party. A good track by itself, but if you ask me, if it one was spliced up a bit with some rap flow, it could be 10x better. Anyway, that's just this humble bogger's opinion. Enjoy this one.

Colfax - Pries

It's been a long while since I've posted anything from Pries. Not really sure why, but I can tell you that I'll be paying much closer attention to him now, because this track is absolutely dope. From what I can tell, it's a cut off his upcoming project, Cold Rose. Enjoy it.

Dennis Rodman - Marc Goone ft. Nick Luebke


Smooth flow: ✓, Great meaningful lyrics: ✓, Catchy hook: ✓, Addicting beat: ✓. Well, it looks like this new drop from my man Marc Goone and Nick Luebke has everything you need for a great track. Don't miss out.

5 (Intro) - Skizzy Mars

Skizzy Mars is set to release his debut mixtape, Phases, in less than two weeks, and to tide us over until then, he's decided to drop the intro track. Simply put, this is impressive. Since Skizzy burst onto the scene with Douchebag, each new track that he released was good, but to me, they just never quite lived up to his debut. That being said, 15 is great drop. I have really high hopes for this tape, so be on the lookout. Plus, it has some spectacular production from Fareoh, so you really can't go wrong there. Enjoy.
