Boyfriend (Remix) - Quincy Kwalae

It's been a minute since we've heard from Quincy Kwalae, but here he is, back with his own take on Bieber's Boyfriend. Now I will admit, I am getting slightly tired of the Boyfriend beat, but QK manages to give it a whole new and refreshing spin. He mixes up the beat with a bit of a dub feel and it actually comes out pretty dope. I'm really pumped now to see what more QK has to offer coming up, so be on the watch. Enjoy.

Alone - SonReal

I couldn't pass up on some freshness from SonReal. Here is his latest track, and as always, it's fantastic. Alone is probably one of my favorites of the last few tracks that he has dropped. His flow is raw and possibly the quickest that I've ever heard from him. A dope track off his upcoming mixtape, Words I Said, dropping April 25th, so be on the watch for that. Plus, his album Good News should be dropping soon after. Enjoy.

Fuck Me Baby (Video) - Huey Mack

You knew someone was going to do it. This "Call Me Maybe" track is everywhere now, so it was only a matter of time until someone jumped on the beat. Huey Mack does just that, and then actually manages to kill it. I can't help but enjoy this track. On a side note, A Boy Named Hue drops April 23rd so be on the watch.

Stay Scheming (Xaphoon Jones Remix) - Rick Ross ft. French Montana

Xaphoon jumps on to Rozay's Stay Scheming and gives it a whole new feel. I'll be honest, the back beat is almost cheesy creepy, as in it sounds a bit like its from an old crappy horror movie. Regardless of that, I still find myself pressing replay over and over again, so clearly there is something really catchy about it. Anyway, Xaph does his thing on this one so enjoy it.

Giants - Josh Osho ft. Childish Gambino

Alright, this is actually amazing. I saw Gambino post this a couple days ago, so I felt like I needed to check it out for his feature. I originally pressed play to hear Childish Gambino, but after doing that I realized how great an artist Josh Osho is. I can honestly say I am a big fan of his now. He has just such a soulful sound that you can't help but enjoy. Unfortunately no DL yet, but they'll be dropping it in iTune soon. Anway, enjoy this one, because I know I did.

Every Language is a Waterfall (TeeTs & Henry Fong Mashup) - Porter Robinson vs. Coldplay

So glad that I heard about TeeTs, otherwise I would have missed out on bangers like this. This time he teams up with another DJ who I am just hearing about, Henry Fong, and together they produce one hell of a mashup. Definitely not a banger you will want to miss.

No Faith In Brooklyn (Video) - Hoodie Allen ft. Jhameel

Plain and simple, this is an amazing track with an amazing video. Hoodie Allen dropped his latest EP All American, on iTunes yesterday, and since buying it, I have had it on constant repeat. Probably the best $5 I've spent in a long time, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, you should definitely go do that. Enjoy the great new video, and go download All America to support one of the best artists in the game right now.

Fxck The Hype (Mixtape) - Uno Hype

And the day has finally arrived. Uno Hype finally dropped his second mixtape, and let me tell you, it is absolutely sick. He really manages to show off his versatility as an artist with every track on this tape. Huge shouts to DJ Black Diamond for the production on all of these tracks, because honestly, when Uno gets on a good beat, he always kills it, and every joint on Fxck The Hype is a testament to that. So overall, a dope mixtape from a great up and coming artist, Uno Hype. In case you didn't know him before, you should definitely get familiar, because I can see this kid taking off. Enjoy.

Can't Get Enough (Stefan Accardo Remix) - J. Cole ft. Trey Songz

I really don't know that much about this track other than it's a real banger. I also really don't know that much about the artist Stefan Accardo other than he's from New Haven, CT and he can produce one hell of a remix. He take's Cole's track Can't Get Enough and gives it a whole new dope feel. I will definitely be on the watch for more from him. Enjoy.

All Night (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies

For this week's Timeflies Tuesday the boys decided to go back to their roots and give a their very first track a sick club edit. Fun fact for you: upon finding out that All Night was their very first track, I realized that I have literally been a fan since the very beginning of Timeflies. This track holds a really special spot with me because it was actually the very first track that I played on my very first radio show, because in case you didn't know, HotLeaks started out as a simple campus radio show. Timeflies was there at the very beginning of HotLeaks. Anyway, enough reminiscing, you probably haven't even read this far, so enjoy the latest Timeflies Tuesday.

#littleBIGlife (Mixtape) - Dante CK

I am so glad that I heard of Dante CK. If I hadn't, I would have missed out on wicked projects like this. Dante actually dropped this gem at the end of March, but I just finally got a chance to sit down and give it a listen. I've been crazy busy with final assignments and such, but enough with the excuses. In case you don't recognize the name, I actually first heard about Dante CK with the amazing track he did with my girl Leia Sadiku back in December, Strange Ways. After that I was on the watch for new stuff from Dante, and then back in January he dropped a track called #myway that was actually really good, so that peaked my interest even more. That brings us to #littleBIGlife. Since his last track, I feel like Dante has really matured into his sound. His flow is smooth, his rhymes are tight, and there is just something about his sound that makes you hang on everything that he spits. Anyway, a fantastic tape that you should definitely check out. Enjoy.

Victory Lap (+ Video) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Dope new track from the amazing rapper / producer duo of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. It seems that whenever these guys come together, gold is always produced, and this new track is no exception. Victory Lap is actually a track off the 2012 XXL Freshman Mixtape, so if you want to check out that out, give it a go. I really don't think I need to explain much more about this, so enjoy it.



**UPDATE**
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis dropped a fantastic set of visuals to go with this amazing track. Enjoy

Ride With Us - Tayyib Ali ft. Cisco Adler

Nothing wrong with some new Tayyib Ali. Here's his latest gem, and it is just dripping with that chill summer feel. Maybe it's Tayyib's smooth and chill flow, or maybe it's the fact that Cisco Adler is on the hook. Regardless of why, the fact is still there, this is a perfect track to get you in the mood for summer. Hopefully this will help you push through finals over the next few weeks. Enjoy.

One More Time - Yonas

I would just like to point out that Yonas absolutely killed it with his official remix to Scotty James' Wanna Be Loved that he dropped last month. Since then, I've been anxiously waiting for him to drop something new. I am hooked on Yonas' sound, and I really wanted to hear more from him. Anyway, he does not disappoint with this amazing Daft Punk remix, so enjoy it.

The Book Of Matthew (Mixtape) - Quake Matthews

This is straight fire right here. I love hearing a guy from my hometown absolutely kill it. Quake Matthews is a dope emcee based out of Halifax NS, and has been on the scene for just a few years, but has been in the music game since his early teens. He's got fantastic lyricism and great flow, which are two key ingredients to being a great artist. This is definitely a tape you should check out. Enjoy.

Time Of My Life - Quake ft. SonReal & Kayo
