My man Vizzy. I pushed XV's mixtape a while ago now, so im sure everyone knows well who he is. Sick new video for The Flying V. Tight beat and tight flow as always. Check it out.
Alright, It's Friday, and i apologize. It's been a long day of cramming for finals so i really haven't been able to get you as many songs as i would have liked to. I was hooked up with this track yesterday and i have been listening to it on repeat all day. It's by a guy named Black Mic, out of Detroit. The song is from his album, Somthin 2 Ride 2, one of the four projects Hes working on now. I'm really looking forward to what this guy is doin in the future. Solid mellow track, with a real tough Caribbean feel. check it out.
Ok, so a friend of mine showed me this track by a guy named Kokayi. I really didn't know what to think, so i gave er a listen. This song is sick. I dont even know how to classify the song. Just give it a listen, very worth it. I actualy went out and got this whole album becasue of this one song, so you should listen.
DOPE! Thats all i have to say. The White Panda destroy this song. stereo love, by edward maya and vika jigulina, has secretly been on my ipod ever since it came out, i love the song. Someone finally pulled the amazing acordian beat from it. These guys threw it together with Waka Flaka's hood anthem, No Hands, and the product is dope. check it out.
Alright, it's been a long day, and i apologize for not being up on in today, but like i said, been a hell of a long day. I'm gonna start you off with some Matt Clarke. To be honest, i wasn't a huge fan of him for the longest time. I would see drops here and there, and whenever i went to listen to them, they never really pulled me in. I decided to give Teenage Wasteland a go, and let me tell you. Matt Clarke, you are officially back on my radar. I feel like he's matured with this track. Samples "The Who" too, so can't really go wrong with that.
Dope track here. A little while ago i posted a song by Zed's Dead ft Omar Linx, and after enjoying that one, i stumbled upon this gem. A solid beat, a haunting hook, and rough rapping, just overall a really well put together song.
Not sure that i have heard of this guy, Hendersin. BUT judging by just this song, i'm looking forward to hearing more from him. I have heard possibly dropping an album in January. I will let his facebook page do some explaining: "He has been working diligently on different projects, and has performed with a number of established Hip Hop artists such as Mr. Lif, Immortal Technique, Chali 2na, Raekwon, Wiz Khalifa, and more. Never falling victim to being categorized, Hendersin proves to be the breath of fresh air that the industry needs."
Give a listen, enjoy.
Now, before you knock this and pass it over, just check it out for a second. This kid goes to USC and has been playing the violin all his life. Lately hes done a ton of covers of hiphop songs on youtube, and they have been actually pretty dope. When doing the cover he literally just puts headphones on just goes pretty much freestyle with the beat and tune hes hearing. Pretty dope stuff if you ask me. So check out one of my favorites that i have heard.
I'm just going to assume you know who my man J.Cole is, seeing that hes blown up right now. I'll be honest, i didnt pay any attention to this guy before Friday Night Lights. I heard a couple songs around the web, and i wasnt overly impressed, but hes gotten a much better sound as he matured. Here's a new drop from him called Leave Me Alone. Sick track.
Truth Himself. Honestly i had not heard of this kid at all, but with this song (plus some on his myspace page), i am really interested in him. He's got a a real different sound. It's defiantly a good hip hop sound, but hes got a "pop" feel about him as well. Heres the track
In case you haven't heard of The Dean's List, your really missing out. A group of guys out of Boston, and they kill it. These guys have a really cool sound, a little bit of college party sound to them, but they also have legitimate lyrics to their songs, which is a great mix. Heres a couple of my favs from their Undeclared mixtape:
It's been a slow day all around. Nothing too great to be found around, plus i've been busy as hell with finals n shit, so forgive me. BUT i wont leave you out to dry, so heres a song that i have listened to more than a few times today while studying. Faded by Julius Myth. solid song, wicked beat and flow, just a real good song to relax to. Enjoy.
I will admit, i'm a bit behind with this track, but it was a busy weekend, so cut me some slack. Here we have my favorite part of Friday's, E-Dubble's freestyles. I posted one of my favorites of past freestyle Fridays a week or so back, and i think this one might be added to that list. E-Dub kills it on this billy joel sample. Check it out. And if you like his stuff, definatly check him out on facebook, or twitter or whatever your into.
Another guy from NY, with a tight mixtape. He uses samples for cascada, micheal jackson, DHT, Haddaway and Wu-Tang. So if you cant tell from that little line up there, hes got a pretty wide variety of songs on here. I'm gonna be on the look out for this guy in the future. Heres a couple of my favs, then you can cop the whole tape at the bottom. Shout out toThe Kollection
In case your behind the times, this is OnCue. This kid is dope. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, this kids got a solid new sound. It's a tight hiphop vibe with some clear mixins of some rock and indie backgrounds, for just an overall wicked sound. He just dropped a FREE new mixtape called Leftovers, and before that he had his tape, Cuey Sings The Blues. Heres a couple of my favs.
