Electric Playground (Mixtape) - SoLo

I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant on this one. The track that SoLo released, The News, was sick. But when I heard "Mystery Girl", I was fearful that this entire mixtape would be auto-tuned to shit, and turned into a dirty mess. I am happy to say that I was wrong, this tape is, as Jon Kilmer would say, "Legit As Balls". There are definitely a couple tracks I'm not a huge fan of on here, but in all honesty, Electric Playground is all around pretty dope. SoLo's flow is sick, and there are more than a few tracks that I have already put on repeat. There are party tracks and chill tracks, so Electric Playground is well rounded. Definitely check this one out, you will enjoy it.

That July (Track) + The Other Side (Mixtape) - T. Ryan

I had never heard of this guy until just the other day. Out of Salem, MA, T. Ryan does all his own rapping and producing, which is dope. Anyway, I spotted the track, That July, over on GMAD a little while back, and I loved it, so I figured I should probably check this guy out. I went and downloaded his mixtape that he released in February, and it doesn't disappoint. I am pretty sure I really dig every single track on this one. Check out the join that turned me onto T. Ryan, and then check out the mixtape, The Other Side.

The Moon And The Sky (Remix) - Sade ft. Jay-Z

Yup, thats right. A new verse from the great Hova. This song is really good, perfect for a relaxing Sunday. Enjoy.

Friday - Olu ft. Rebecca Black + Antifreeze (Freestyle) - Olu

First thing out of my mouth when I saw this track, "No way". In case your REALLY behind the times, you need to listen to Rebecca Black in all her glory. Now, back to this track. This right here, is why Olu is one of my favorite artists as of late. The fact he can work that song and turn it into a really DOPE track, shows true skill. Olu raps, and Rebecca Black has the hook but chopped and dubbed up. It's not Friday, but, "Partyin, Partyin, SWAG"



**PLUS**


If Friday wasn't your thing, Olu released a freestyle late last night. This one is tough as hell. Olu really is a multi-talented artist. Enjoy this one.

Jump - Rook

Rook, from the group FlyRydaz, is releasing a solo project, Mixed Ape coming 4/20. First track released, and it's a heavy one to say the least. Really good though. Enjoy.

Nikes On My Feet - Mr. Forbes

This is dope. A friend of mine sent this my way. I loved Mac Miller's track, so I was curious how someone else could do on the beat.  Mr. Forbes does good. He adds a much rougher feel to the track. Enjoy.

Get Up (Video + Track) - Matt Clarke ft. Yung Zaaf

Matt actually sent me this track almost a month ago, as sort of a preview. I loved it when I heard it, because once again, it sounded like he was maturing in his music. He didn't want to release it until he released the video for it, which was completely understandable. Well worth the wait. Plus, theres a point where he's flowing without a beat, and absolutely kills it. Enjoy

Where We Are - e-dubble

Another dope new track from the great e-dubble. He released a little video on facebook on Thursday, where he said "it's a nice sunny day, so, gonna make a party song, then have a party or something". He followed through with this song. I've said it before, but e-dubble is probably the realest artist I know,  and thats what makes his stuff so enjoyable. It doesn't hurt that the tracks are always awesome too. Enjoy.

Ding Dong (Video) - SonReal

SonReal hits us with some visuals for his track Ding Dong off his dope new mixtape , Where's Waldo. Real well done video, and I'm  a huge fan of a track that goes into a rap acapella. If you haven't already, download Where's Waldo. 

Galaxy - Gate City Squad ft. AK

This is actually so sick. I'm pretty sure within the last hour, I have listened to this track at least 10 times. You have to check this out, because you want to say that you listened to these guys before they blew up. MattyFee told me that their next few tracks would be more hip-hop and less of the pop feel that That Body had. GSC definitely followed through with this joint. Enjoy

When We're Done - XV

New Vizzy. Dopeness. Everything XV touches turns to gold. This one is a bit more of a relaxed feel, but Vizzy still absolutely kills it. Off his upcoming project Zero Heroes. Enjoy.

Blood Diamond (Video+Track) - Split Second

I'll be honest, when I first saw these guys starting to pop up around the web, I listened to one of their songs, and I skimmed through it really quickly, and all I got from it at the time was that it was a techno banger. So ever since then, I just assumed these guys were pumping out the techno hits. Nothing wrong with that, just not the first tracks I go searching for. I am so glad I was wrong. These guys have such a dope sound. This track is sick, and the video fits it real well. Check it out, and Enjoy.



***BONUS*** The original track that I skimmed over, that is actually so dope. Perfect for the weekend.

Follow Your Heart (Remix) - Split Second

Clueless - Tate Tucker

A friend of mine sent me a link to this track and it's actually pretty good. I had never heard of Tate Tucker until I got this one. This 18 year old is out of LA, and is a freshman at Georgetown University. I really dig this track, so I will be on the watch out for more from Tate.

So What - Mac Miller ft. Wale

What a sick colabo. If you ever have visited the site, you know I'm a HUGE Wale fan. When I saw that him and Mac were working on a track together on the road, I got so pumped. This track is wicked. Wale is on fire as always, and Mac tears it up. Watch out for Mac Miller, because he's exploding right now. Enjoy.

Where Dem Girls At - David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj & Flo-Rida

A banger, what else would you expect. Last class bash is coming up for a ton of people, so let this track be your anthem for the night. This one is a party track for sure, but my girl Nicki kills it.
