Blood On The Leaves - PropaneLv


I hate to admit it, but I really wasn't a huge fan of Yeezus. To me, it sounded only half finished. But that being said, Blood on the Leaves was one of the few tracks that I actually kind of enjoyed, so when PropaneLv sent this cover my way, I was pretty eager to check it out. Now I'm a huge fan of Lv, but this track really didn't quite grab me until the beat dropped (around the 1:14 mark), but once it did, I was hooked. In other Lv news, he's officially announced that he's finally releasing his debut album, Varsity Blues, in September, so get excited. Enjoy the new track, and be on the lookout for more from Lv in the coming weeks.

Never Do Better - OnCue ft. Ro Ransom

In my personal opinion, this is probably the best track that Cuey has released since New Religion. A softer, more laid back beat from Felix Snow allows OnCue and Ro Ransom's flows to really shine. Check it out below.

All These Lights (Video) - The Grouch & Eligh (Prod. Pretty Lights)


What first got me with this one was the simple fact that it was a new track from The Grouch. In case you didn't know, The Grouch (along with Zion I) was one of the first guys who really got me into smart hip hop, so anytime I see a new track from him, I feel the need to check it out. The second thing that really got me interested in this one was seeing Pretty Lights on the boards. This is actually one of my favorite videos that I've seen in a long while, so don't miss out. Enjoy.

The Transition 2: Bright Lights, Big City (Mixtape) - YONAS

First off I want to start by apologize for being a day late on this one. It was my first night at my new job yesterday, so I didn't exactly have a ton of time to give YONAS' new project a proper listen. Now that I have, I can confidently say that it has lived up to and exceeded all the expectations. All the tracks are thoroughly enjoyable, and I could challenge you to find a single one that isn't. Definitely not a project that you  will want to sleep on. Check it out below.
