Flawless (Remix) - Beyonce ft. Nicki Minaj

In what could now be considered standard Beyonce form, B decided to drop an official collab remix to her trck Flawless with Nicki on the low, just like she did with her album. Do I really need to explain more? Enjoy.

Anchor Down (Video) - Outsight

\
It's been a while since we've heard anything new from Outasight, but it looks like he's back, and actually working on a new album that he plans on releasing sometime this fall. Definitely more mellow than his previous material, but it actually manages to show that he's got some diversity to his sound. Enjoy it.

Purple Skies - No Limits

I'll admit that the first time I pressed play on this new track from No Limits, I didn't really know what to think. But after listening to it again, I realized that I just couldn't get enough of it. There is something that's just dreamy about this track, and it finds itself in your head days later you listened to it. Check it out for yourself below

Wonderful Everything - Chance The Rapper ft. Wyclef Jean, Jessie Ware & Elle Varner

Chance The Rapper everyone. How do you become even more diverse as an artist? Grab Wyclef, Jessie Ware, Elle Varner, Francis & The Lights, Eryn Allen Kane & The O'My's, Peter Cottontale, and Donnie Trumpet and perform an amazing cover of the Arthur theme song. I absolutely love this one.

Summertime Win (Video) - Quake Matthews Ft. Dylan Guthro


Some homegrown talent for your Thursday listening pleasure. Quake, based out of my hometown Halifax, NS, has teamed up with Dylan Guthro, and put together a perfect track to add to your summer time playlist. Enjoyable all around, so don't miss out.


Cali Get Down - Radical Something

Don't know about you, but it's a gorgeous day where I'm at. And what better to go with a gorgeous summer day than a brand new Radical Something track to bump. Enjoy it.

Cooler Than Latch - The White Panda

I honestly can't stop listening to this. The White Panda have combined two already great tracks into something that is beyond perfection. It may seem like I'm hyping this one more than it deserves, but press play and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Pills N Potions - PropaneLv


Of all the Pills n Potions remixes I've heard, this one from PropaneLv has to be the best. He just sounds at home on this beat. Check it out above, and cop it below.


In Too Deep (Kasum Remix) - Sum 41

Start this one by saying it's been a LONG while since I've posted anything, so for that I'm truly sorry. I won't bore you with my excuses, instead I'll get right into the music, which is what you really want. The first one I'm coming back with is an unreal remix from my boy Kasum. He takes a staple of my childhood/pre-teen years, and flips it into a club worthy gem that you will not be able to get out of your head. Do NOT miss this one.

No Flex Zone (Remix) - Nicki Minaj

Nicki puts her own twist on everyone's favorite beat right now, and she actually kills it.

MMG Under God - Wale

Even though they were beefing on twitter, it looks like Wale still has love his MMG label mate, Meek Mill. "A brother you argue with is a brother you love to correct". Check it below. #FreeMeek

Bow Down (Video) - Raz Simone


I'll admit, these aren't your typical visuals from Raz Simone, but there's something absolutely entrancing about them. I couldn't turn away from start to finish, and if you ask me, that's exactly what you want for a music video. Check it above, and if you haven't copped it yet, go grab Cognitive Dissonance.

Rock Star - Future ft. Nicki Minaj

Fresh track from Future and Nicki that didn't make the cut for Future's Honest, due to some clearance issues. Well it's been unearthed, and I definitely think that they should have pushed for this one, because it's sick. Enjoy.

Recognize - PARTYNEXTDOOR ft. Drake

Don't think PARTYNEXTDOOR can do anything wrong. Especially when he teams up with OVO Sound's top dog, Drizzy. Recognize is a cut off PARTYNEXTDOOR's upcoming project, PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO, which is dropping July 29th, so definitely be on the watch for that. Until then, enjoy this gem.

Zeus: Chapter 1 Astrology (Mixtape) - Johnny Astro

Here's something fantastic for your Tuesday. Johnny Astro is back at it, and you are not going to want to let yourself miss out on this return. Zeus is a project that is pure gold start to finish. Honestly, there's not a single track that isn't thoroughly enjoyable. Spanning 7 tracks (6 new, and one we know well, Athena, Astro's Rihanna spin), each has it's own distinct feel, yet they all go together so well. The rhymes are fluid, and the beats are gorgeously lofty. Check this one out below.

No Genre 2 (Mixtape) - B.o.B

No way I was going to let you guys miss out on this one. Bobby Ray released his new mixtape yesterday, and I just can't stop listening to it. If you ask me, even though No Genre is a fantastic mixtape, I actually think this tape is better by just a bit. Check it below and form your own opinions.

Did It Twice - Shawn Chrystopher

Some thoroughly enjoyable and intricate bars from Shawn Chrystopher. Not sure where this one will fall, but check it below regardless.

Kewl - Jitta On The Track x Bukkweat Bill

This one is actually from a few weeks ago, so I can't really use the excuse of "no internet" for not posting it. Well Jitta and Bukkweat Bill teamed up, and created a tight banger that's bound to get you going. Cop it below, and don't sleep on it like I did.

White Flag (Collin McLoughlin Remix) - Dido

Something gorgeous for your Thursday night. Collin McLoughlin has decided to take Dido's classic track, twist the beat into something extremely refreshing, and then has blessed it with his own vocal spin. Don't miss it.

Life Jackets (Video) - Luke Christopher


A great video for an even better track. Luke Christopher really is a fantastic artist, and I said it before but, this one has potential to be a huge breakout track for him. Enjoy.

Download

Calm Down - Busta Rhymes ft. Eminem

HUGE cut from Busta and Em. This one's got a great throwback feel, since both these guys absolutely wreck the beat. Check it out below.

Often - The Weeknd

It's been a long week without internet, and there's been a ton of new music, so I'll be honest, my descriptions are going to be minimal for all these new tracks. Here's the latest drop from The Weeknd.

Tuesday, June 24, 2014

Let's Ride (Video) - Ground Up


Now here's a name that I haven't seen in quite some time. Ground Up. Azar, Malakai, and Bij Lincs are all back, and I'll be honest, it feels like they never left. Their signature flow over a quick hitting, street infused beat. Not one you should let yourself miss out on.


Love Me Again - YONAS

Another track from last week that I didn't get to post. This time it's one from YONAS, and he's taken the hook from John Newman's song of the same name (twisted by Sean Ross), and spits some impressive bars over top. Enjoy it.

Days In The West (WoodysProduce Remix) - Tinashe

Alright, so maybe I've been off my posting game lately. Cut me a little slack, it's summer, I'm allowed to go out and party, and enjoy the sun a little bit. Well I'm back at it now, and here's a new remix from WoodysProduce that I've been listening to non stop for the last week. Check it below.

So Far, So Far (Video) - Raz Simone


Gorgeous, just like everything else that Raz Simone releases. This time he's put together a video for his track So Far, So Far, off his Cognitive Dissonance album, and it's one of those one's that suits the mood of the track perfectly. Do yourself a solid and press play on this one.

Buy The World - Mike Will Made-It ft. Future, Lil Wayne & Kendrick Lamar

This is going to be a big one. Mike Will Made-It beat with verses from Weezy and Kendrick, and a hook from Future. I can't stop listening.

Shots fired!

Here's Mike Stud's first response to Hoodie's line, which was released briefly after Nolan Ryan dropped. I said that shit would start to pop off, and this one was just the beginning.


Shortly after that, Hoodie decided to up the ante, and come back at Mike in full force. Below is the result.




And here we have the latest shot from Mike, and I am impressed. This white boy "beef" has been much more impressive than I ever thought it would have been. Enjoy it, and maybe watch out for more?

BLVD Dreams - Deon Chase x Slumdog Hill x Avenue

It's been a while since we've seen the name Deon Chase here on HotLeaks, but the kid is back at it, and let me just say that he's killing it. BLVD Dreams is a new single off a predicted collab tape from these three that should drop later this summer, so be on the lookout for that. Definitely impressed with this one, don't miss out on it.

One For Me ft. Tinashe (Video) - Ryan Hemsworth


Really cool video from my man Ryan Hemsworth. It's for one of his tracks off his debut album, Guilt Trips, from last year, and it just couldn't turn away from it. It's a perfect fit for the track, and as you probably know about me, I love that in a video. Enjoy it, and here's what Ryan had to say about it:

"Martin approached me about making “the most boring video for 2014.” At this point in my life, I realized it would be a great thing to do because the Super Cool DJ lifestyle is one associated with being the life of the party and never having a dull moment. The truth is that it’s mostly made up of moments waiting around and hanging out by yourself. The track itself is already about walking through the middle of a crowd feeling alone. So driving around Montreal in a Lamborghini yawning felt like a good way of showing how awesome and equally solitary it can get sometimes."

Nolan Ryan - Hoodie Allen

Hoodie Allen comes hard on this new track. It's actually probably one of the most aggressive tracks I've heard from Hoodie, which is not a bad thing at all. This one is impressive lyrically overall, but its big buzz online right now is because it was actually the first series of shots fired in a good ol classic rap-beef (white boy style). Check out the details of the begining of the twitter war here. Watch out for some more responses.

TTU - Flosstradamus ft Waka Flocka

A banger to add to your rager playlist. Flosstradamus hooked up with Waka for this huge track that is, without a doubt, get your weekend turnt up. Enjoy.

Fancy (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


Definitely didn't forget about the newest Timefles Tuesday drop, so don't you worry. Check out Cal and Rez' spin on Iggy's hit above.

Hunnid Stax (Feat. ScHoolboy Q) - Ab-Soul

Ab-Soul's upcoming album These Days... is dropping soon (June 24th to be exact), so that probably means we're gonna be getting some solid leaks over the next couple weeks. This new one, featuring TDE's own ScHoolboy Q, is a dope track, and if it's any indication of how the album is going to sound, I can't wait. It also sounds like it features a hook from Mac Miller, but that's just a guess (a dam good one though if I do say so myself). Check it out.

Ordinary - G-Unit

They're officially back on the grind. Only a few days after their comeback, G-Unit are already back at it, this time taking on Jeezy and Trey Songz' Ordinary. Don't miss this one.

Monica Lewinski / The Day It All Changed - G-Eazy

 A double dose of G-Eazy for your Tuesday night. Both of these are tracks that didn't quite make the cut for These Things Happen, which makes me even more excited for the album. If songs of this quality didn't meet the standards of the album, I can't wait to hear what did. The first is a cut featuring Skizzy Mars and Kyle, which couldn't even be bad if it tried.



The second is a solo track, but that doesn't make it any less dope. I won't try and hype these up any more, because I know you're going to check them out for sure. Enjoy em, and watch out for These Things Happen.

The Static - Dizzy X


It's been a little while since we've seen the name Dizzy X, but the kid is back at it, once again showing us his raw potential. This one's got a similar sound to something Joey Bada$$ might drop, and that's not a bad thing at all. Check it out above.

Jolly Rancher (Video) - Hassani Kwess ft. Uno Hype


I was driving to work the other day, had the iPod on shuffle, and this joint actually came on and it made me realize that I had completely forgotten how sick it was. Both Uno Hype and Hassani Kwess absolutely kill it. Well here it is a few days after that, and I get an email with a new set of visuals that the guys have put together for a track that I again, can't stop listening to, so there was no way I wasn't going to post it. I'll say the same thing I said when it first dropped (almost 2 years ago now), a sick beat with unreal flow from both Hype and Kwess. Check it out above, and if you missed it back then, you can cop it now.




Fly Off - Trey Palms

It's been a few months since we've heard from Trey Palms, but just like every other time he takes a minute between releases, it makes the new track just that much better. Fly Off is one of those tracks that I can see getting some serious buzz around the web, so if by some freak accident you're still not familiar with Trey, it's time to pay attention. Enjoy it.

On My Shoulders / Champagne Rain / Easy Child - Luke Christopher

A triple post for some new Luke Christopher, because somehow I managed to miss 3 separate #TMRWGANGTUESDAY drops. This first is his latest and I'll be honest, I wasn't really feeling it when it first dropped, but now that I've given it a few listens, I'm a big fan. Check out On My Shoulders below.


The next is his drop from last week, and it's actually my favorite of the three. I think it's because of the way he combines quick flow and his absolutely addicting vocals. Champagne Rain is below.



And finally the third track is from a couple weeks back. A little more laid back than the other two, but impressive as always. Enjoy it.

Nah I'm Talking 'Bout - G-Unit

The G-Unit reunion we've all been silently hoping for is finally here. 50, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Buck and Kidd Kidd sound at perfectly at home on this Grindin My Whole Life beat. G-G-G-G-Unit!

0 to 100 / The Catch Up - Drake

Not as good the previous drop from Drizzy (2 On / Thotful), but there was still no way I was about to let you miss out on it. Check it.

I Mean It (Video) - G-Eazy


These Things Happen is just over 2 weeks away (it drops June 23rd), and G-Eazy decided to tease us with another video/leak. I'll be real, I'm a huge fan of this one, but it's not exactly G's normal lyrical style. It reminds me a bit of Loaded because I get this vibe that it's meant to be almost a parody. Regardless, I can't wait until the album drops. Check out the video above.


Highrise - Trademark

I can honestly say that I think Trademark is one of my favorite mashup producers out there. He released this one early last week, but as per usual, I'm seriously behind the ball. Highrise is an amazing blend of some Afrojack, Cosmic Gate and East Freaks, and it's bound to make you feel fantastic from start to finish. Enjoy it.

So Long - Paz ft. Syn Cole

I'll say it again, I can't wait until Paz finally drops his new mixtape. Every single track he's released has been absolutely infectious (if you don't believe me, check out The Silence, Never Die Alone and Language), and this one is no different. Once again, he takes the big room sound approach, and it works fantastic. So Long will definitely find a home on your pregame playlist. Enjoy it.

Doin' It Right (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


Everyone loves Timeflies. Even more so when they put together a new Timeflies Tuesday freestyle. No more explanation needed. Enjoy.


All The Time - Calliko


It's been a while since I've seen the name Calliko come up, but when I saw this Keys & Krates remix he put together, I just had to check it out. It actually is a pretty impressive track. Calliko manages to hold his own on this already hype beat (which everyone probably knows off by heart by now). Check it below.

Sober Thoughts - GoldLink

Everyone's favorite up and comer, GoldLink, (still hot off the God Complex mixtape and ass-heavy Ay Ay video) shows us that he really is someone we would be paying attention to. I have a real good feeling that he's gonna to blow up soon, and you can hear exactly why with this track. Check it out below and try to tell me I'm wrong.


Rock With You - Mayo

I said this last time I posted one of his tracks, but each time I hear something new from Mayo, I become more impressed with him. He's got a sound and flow that reminds me a bit of Skizzy Mars meets Vic Mensa, which isn't a bad thing at all. This one actually dropped last week, but in case you missed it like I did, here's Mayo's latest.


Thelonious - Ian Levy


It's been a while since we've seen the name Ian Levy here on HotLeaks. So long so that I feel like it's appropriate for a re-introduction. Ian Levy is an artist out of New York who really transcends the standard definition. Not only is he a lyricist and producer, but he also prides himself on educating people on the power of hip hop. This is the first single off his upcoming EP, so if you like what you hear, be on the watch for more.
