Diamond Thrones - The White Panda

And it beings. It's only been a week since The White Panda dropped their amazing mash album Bearly Legal, and they've already released their first full length drop off of it. I give you Diamond Thones. It's actually one of  my favorites off the album, but that may be just because I'm a huge GoT fan. Anyway, enjoy it below, and if you haven't yet, you need to go download Bearly Legal.

Palm Trees - Flatbush ZOMBiES

Here's a dope new leak off Flatbush ZOMBiES' highly anticipated project, BetterOffDEAD. Erick Arc crates a lofty and haunting beat for Juice, Darko, and himself all to spit straight fire on. If you're not down with the beast coast yet, it's time to get familiar. Don't sleep on this one.

Wake Me Up - Avicii ft. Aloe Blacc

I am addicted to this track. In case you didn't know this little fact about me: I was raised a country/folk music boy. It wasn't until junior high school that my love for hip hop really started to bloom. That being said, at any one of my family gatherings, you are without a doubt going to hear country or folk music on in the background (if someone isn't already playing it themselves on the guitar of course). So now you might understand why I am so inclined to love this track as much as I do. Now keeping in mind this new track from Avicii probably won't get the same play time as levels, I can still guarantee that you'll hear it spun more than a few times. Check it out below, and prepare to have it on repeat.

Zion - Donnie Trumpet ft. Chance The Rapper & Vic Mensa


Here's a fantastic new track from Donnie Trumpet, where he's decided to put his own melow spin on Lauryn Hill's classic track To Zion with a little help from Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa. Now I know what you're thinking: "Who the hell is Donnie Trumpet?", but I can assure you, you already know him, even if you don't recognize his name. Last month, it was announced that the group Kids These Days was separating. A couple weeks later we found out that Vic Mensa, the rapper of the group, had broken out and had started to do his own thing (check out Orange Soda if you haven't yet). That brings me to my main point: Donnie Trumpet is actually another fantastic former member of KTD, and has decided to keep doing his thing and creating gorgeous music. Well I for one am happy to continue listening, especially when he creates tracks like this. Enjoy this one.

Made To Love - John Legend

Simply put, listening to John Legend just feels good. Now although there's nothing really extraordinary about the depth of the lyrics on this one (it pretty much just repeats itself the entire track except for a 20 second bridge verse), but you can't deny that it's still really enjoyable to listen to. Check it out below.

U.O.E.N.O (Remix) - Pretty Boy Cuv


I introduced you to Pretty Boy Cuv almost a month ago with his original track All I Need, but in case you didn't pay attention then, here's him flexing on a beat that you might recognize. Now I said it last time, but I'll say it again, this kid's got a ton of talent. His flow is swift and hard hitting and his lines are smart. It actually reminds me a bit of Logic's older stuff, which is pretty huge. Check it out, and be on the watch for more.
