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.




Endless Summer - Miracle ft. Youngblood Hawke

Need a perfect track to warm you up for summer? The latest single from Miracle is just what you need then. He's teamed up with everyone's favorite Youngblood Hawke, and put together a track that is guaranteed to be put on repeat all summer. Check it below.

La La La (White Panda x Gazzo Remix) - Naughty Boy ft. Sam Smith

Who doesn't love a new banger for their Saturday night? Well everyone's favorite, White Panda, and Gazzo have given us just that. They've taken Naughty Boy's La La La and made it a perfect upbeat banger that's perfect for your summer playlists. Not one you should miss.

House Rules (Mixtape) - Slaughterhouse

The continuously underrated kings of the rap game, Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Royce da 5'9" AKA Slaughterhouse, have finally released their new mixtape (that's actually been hinted at for the last few weeks). If you're a fan of rap at all, this project is a must download, becasue it's filled with a range of tracks that show off all of their skills behind the mic. Don't sleep on it.

Gold Skies - Sander van Doorn, Martin Garrix, & DVBBS ft. Aleesia


The visuals for this came out last week, but I only just now got a chance to check it out, and now I'm hooked. A HUGE collab from some of the top names in EDM, so as you could probably guess, it's a great track/video. Don't miss out like I did. Official version available June 2nd.

Pills N Problems - Nicki Minaj

A true crowd pleaser. For Nicki's newest single, she not only continues with the raw flow that brought her to the scene initially, but she tosses in a catchy, pop-heavy hook that's reminiscent of something that Rihanna would put together. Bravo Nicki.

Parade - Hit Boy x Audio Push

Another liberation off Hit Boy's upcoming We The Plug, this time featuring up and comers Audio Push. Watch out for We The Plug, dropping the 27th. Check it out below.

Who Do You Love (Remix) - Fabolous x Trey Songz

Not going to lie, I think I may enjoy this remix more than the original. I like Fabolous' flow better than YG's on this beat, and Trey Songz really sounds at home on it. Check it below.

Shatto Park (Video) - Parker


Three questions for you: Do you love Parker's (aka DFD) rhymes and flow? Do you appreciate one shot rap videos? And did you ever watch and enjoy pop-up videos? If you answered yes to any of those questions, this new video is exactly what you need to be watching right now.


About The Money - T.I ft. Young Thug

New single from T.I. Now I said it every single time he put out a remix, but now that he's dropped another original, I think it's official: The king is back. About The Money is a cut off his upcoming album, Paperwork, which is yet to receive a release date (but hopefully it's sooner rather than later). Enjoy.

Down On Me - DJ Mustard ft. 2 Chainz & Ty Dolla $ign

Pretty sure his is one of those tracks you can just look at who's on it and know exactly how it's going to sound. So that being said, you can check it out below.


2 On / Thotful - OB Obrien ft. Drake

Don't let the title make you hesitate at all on this one, because realistically, this is a Drake track with a quick verse from OB O'Brien to start things off. And just like every single time Drizzy drops a new track, prepare to see it explode all over the internet soon. Check it below.

Made For Me - Sebastian Mikael ft. Teyana Taylor

A little something smooth for your Monday night. Sebastian Mikael, in case you've been sleeping, really is going to be a big presence in the R&B, so prepare to see his name in lights soon. This gem off his latest project, Waiting Game, will show you exactly what I mean. Just press play and enjoy.

Show Me What You're Made Of (Video) - Hoodie Allen


Love that fresh Hoodie Allen sound, especially when it's as good as this one is. It's actually probably one of my favorites from Hoodie as of late, and I swear it has nothing to do with the Happy Gilmore theme of the video (which just so happens to be one of my all time favorite movies). If the simple fact of a new Hoodie track didn't get you to press play, maybe the fact that both D-WHY AND Tommy Lee make cameos in this video might. Enjoy it.




SayDatThen - Slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouse has to be one of, if not THE, best rap collab groups out there right now. After teasing the fans with a new mixtape, the guys decided to drop this joint back on draft day, but I just got a chance to listen to it now. Check it out below if you missed it too.

Trojan - Sol

A throwback release from Sol. This joint was actually recorded back in 2011, and in his own words:
"'Trojan' is a little something I wrote for fun a while back. It never really fit on any project and was performed just once live on radio at KEXP. Since that performance fans who had heard it would ask me at shows and online "when you gunna put out Trojan, man?" So fuck it, throwback Thursday!"
Enjoy this one.

Life Jackets - Luke Christopher

Every single track Luke Christopher has released as of late has been unreal, and now with the release of his first official single, he keeps the streak going. I'll just leave it here, and I know you will be impressed.

Download

Out Here (Video) - Mike Stud


#SundayStudDay was back in full swing with this one. I'm a few days late on it, but better late than never. Anywa, Mike Stud actually manages to kill it with this first single off his upcoming album. Definitely will be on the watch for that. Enjoy.


That Feeling - OnCue

Keeping up the quality we've become accustomed to, OnCue has put together yet another great single off his teaser in anticipation of his upcoming project, which is on track to be unreal. First we got Closer, then we got DSFM, and now we have this one, and once again, Cuey manages to show his growth as an artist on it. Cop it below.

Beautiful Ones - Juicy J

Some new Juicy J for your ear drums. Nothing too special with this one, just your standard Juicy J track, which isn't a bad thing at all, because he's always enjoyable.

Believe Me - Lil Wayne ft. Drake

I thought that The Carter V was going to be another train wreck from weezy, and I wasn't planning on even giving it the time of day to be honest, but after hearing this new single feature Drake, I now have a little bit of hope. Press play below and check it for yourself.

Thugnificense (Video) - Flatbush ZOMBiES


Not my favorite off Better Off DEAD, but there's nothing wrong with a little reminder that Flatbush ZOMBiES still kill it. I'm just waiting for visuals for my favorite track, Bliss, but I guess this will do until that happens (if it ever does).


All Of Me (Kasum Remix) - John Legend

How do you take an already beautiful track and manage to make it even more gorgeous than it already was? To be honest, I don't think I have to skills to answer that, but my man Kasum sure as hell could, because he's done just that with this John Legend remix. He's managed to take this already fantastic track, and add a subtle yet powerful twist that makes you want to listen to it on repeat. Check it out below.

My Nigga Just Made Bail - Bas ft. J. Cole


Bas just released a new project, Last Winter, and this track featuring Cole is without a doubt one of the stand outs. Do I really need to explain more. If you're anything like me, you're going to check this out regardless, purely just to hear some new Cole. Enjoy.

Ay Ay (Video) - GoldLink


I really could not turn away from this video. GoldLink has taken one of the standouts off his project The God Complex and has created a video that will definitely get some attention. Seriously, look at the screen cap below and tell me you're not going to watch the video. Enjoy.


I Am Very Very Lonely - Chance The Rapper

Chance has decided to slow it down a bit with this latest track. I'm a fan of it, but it's definitely got that kind of sound that you're either going to love or hate. Check it below and form your own opinions.

Let's Get Lost (Video) - G-Eazy ft. Devon Baldwin


I've already said it more than a few times, but 2014 is going to be huge for G-Eazy, especially when he's putting out tracks like this one. He's teamed up with Devon Baldwin yet again, and just like last time, they work magically together. I can't wait for These Things Happen to drop. Enjoy.


Language - PAZ

Keeping on his EDM remix streak, PAZ has taken Porter Robinson's hit track Language and once again, put his own signature flair onto it. PAZ added some vocals and has managed to make it sound as though this is the way the song was supposed to sound. That is pretty damn impressive if you ask me. This is actually the 3rd release off PAZ's upcoming project From The Bottom Of My Heart To The Top Of Your Lungs, which should be released later this month. Until then, enjoy this new gem.

Down On My Luck - Vic Mensa

Vic Mensa gets his jazzy / club sound going on this latest drop. He's teamed up with producer Stefan Ponce to create a track that really shows us Vic's versatility, and proves yet again why he's one to pay attention to. Check it out below.
