Cognitive Dissonance: Part One (Album) - Raz Simone

I had such high hopes for this project. Every single track that Raz Simone released in the months prior (They'll Speak, Still Mobbin', and Don't Shine) was fantastic, so my expectations for this project were beyond big. The original release date wasn't until March 6th, but Raz got excited and decided to release it a bit early. So now that I've gotten a chance to listen to Cognitive Dissonance: Part One in it's entirety, I can happily say that all of my expectations were actually blown away. This entire project is truly a masterpiece. Each track is just dripping with powerful lyricism, and is then laced in gorgeous self-produced melodies. Do yourself a HUGE favor, press play, download it in its entirety, and then put it on repeat. Enjoy.

Ganghis Kahn (Video) - Parker

Parker AKA Dumbfoundead has put together another video for one of his tracks off Old Boy Jon. It's ridiculous, random, thoroughly entertaining, and actually matches up with the track quite well. What more could you ask for. Check it out above.

Persian Rugs (Remix) - ANTHM

I love these ANTHM remixes, but when I saw that he decided to attack a PARTYNEXTDOOR track, I was even more excited to press play than I was before. There's something about the smooth beat on this one matches ANTHM's flow just perfectly, so when he throws down his verse in the second half, it's just pure magic. Don't let this one fly under the radar.

Can't Forget / Who Are You To Judge - Omar Linx

 A double dose of greatness from Omar Linx to brighten your Monday. The first drop from the Toronto artist is actually from a couple weeks ago, but I just happened to come across it today, and it's called Can't Forget. Omar spits over an unbelievably catchy beat (that uses a sample from Marlena Shaw's California Soul), and I can guarantee that you'll be impressed. Check it out below.

The second track is a bit more recent, being released only last week, but just like Can't Forget, I just only happened to stumble across it today. It's a bit heavier than the track above, but it's still a fantastic showing of Omar Linx' skills behind the mic. Enjoy it, and if the rumors are true, one of the next releases may feature some production from Zeds Dead (which would be sick), so be on the watch for that.
