What Model Are You? (Mixtape) - Kinetics & One Love

So good. I am always impressed by Kinetics flow and One Love's great production. I don't remember if I have said this before, but I like to credit these guys with getting me into this whole hip hop scene. Way back when, I spotted their track Sign Language on FOC and I was hooked right away. I went and downloaded every track that they had put together up to that point, and I listened to them non stop for weeks on end. They are the kind of artists, that whenever I have my ipod on shuffle and one of their tracks comes on, no matter my mood, I want to listen to because of their skill and storytelling abilities. Anyway, this tape is wicked. Not one track that I don't enjoy, and thats saying something. Check out a few of my favorites, then grab the whole What Model Are You? mixtape.

Frick Park Market (Video) - Mac Miller


I'll admit, I'm blown away. This is the first official single off Mac Miller's upcoming album, Blue Slide Park, is actually dope. On Mac's #Road2AMillionFans, he continually released track in celebration of milestone, and to be honest, I was less than impressed. I thought Mac was on his way up, so he started getting lazy. That's clearly not the case after hearing this one. Enjoy it. Frick Park Market (Video) - Mac Miller

The Welcome Mat (Mixtape) - OCD: Moosh & Twist

I had no idea that this was coming, but to be honest, I think that makes it that much better. Moosh & Twist dropped this dope little mixtape on the 18th, and I didn't get my hands on it until today. The Welcome Mat is pretty dope, it really shows off how skilled Moosh & Twist both are. I really believe these kids are on their way to the top, so watch out. Enjoy a couple of my favs, then download all of them below.

Burn It All (Video) - The Dean's List


Fresh visuals from the boys in The Dean's List. This time it's for their dope track, Burn It All, off their recent mixtape, The Drive In. Enjoy. Burn It All (Video) - The Dean's List

My Last Dream - e-dubble ft. Kom

e-dub is easily one of my favorite artists these days. He's always so real with his lyrics, his flow is always so perfect, and his tracks are always extremely well put together. I personally believe e-dubble should be huge right now, because you really won't find anyone else who is as real, and is so skillful. Anyway, I'm rambling about him, so just take a listen to the great new track. Enjoy.

Titanium - Collin McLoughlin


Collin always impresses me. His voice and his sound truly is magical, and this new cover really showcases that. If you have been under a rock for that last little while, you really need to get familiar with Collin, because I can really see him starting to go places. Anyway, amazing track, from an equally amazing artist. Plus the video was shot and edited by the ever talented Jon Kilmer. Enjoy. Titanium - Collin McLoughlin

Feel Tall (Prod. by CJ Luzi) (Video) - OnCue


Cuey drops some wicked visuals for his latest track, Feel Tall. I'm pretty sure that this may be my favorite video in a long time. I love OnCue's literal representation of his lyrics. This one will also have a spot on MTVu, which is UNREAL. My man Cuey will finally be getting the popularity he deserves. Watch out.

That Shit Cray (Kreay) - Louie XV

The second I saw that^ on twitter, I knew someone would eventually put out a track like this one. Spotted it over on PnP earlier today, and had to download it. In case you've been sleeping, on the track Niggas In Paris, off Watch The Throne, 'Ye chants "That shit cray" on the hook. After the album dropped, Kreayshawn tweeted what you see above, and then, well, here you go. Enjoy.

Roll With Me - Beau Young Prince ft. Yala

We've been waiting for this track for a while now. YP was going to drop this one when he reached 3700 fans on facebook, and he just finally reached that goal. Roll With Me is his first single off his upcoming mixtape, Beautiful Things, which he plans on releasing when he reaches 4000 fans. This track has some serious potential to be a big hit, because its got a wicked hook and beat (both from Yala), partnered with YP's amazing flow. I feel like this one might push him to a whole new fan base. Anyway, enjoy the new track, and then tell your friends, because we want Beautiful Things from Beau Young Prince.

Yesterday's Youth - Crystal Seth ft. Arielle Thomas


This gem is from Crystal Seth. In case you don't recognize the name, I posted a track of his back in June, Man On The Moon, that got great reviews. Since then, I haven't heard much (if anything) from this kid, until now. A couple days ago, he dropped a video for his track, Yesterday's Youth, off his mixtape Self Portrait. I love visuals, especially when they are for a great track. Keep your eyes open for more Crystal Seth to come, because this kid has got some serious skill. Enjoy.

A treat for you, Crystal Seth's whole Self Portrait mixtape for you to check out:

Say Ah (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


Another edition of Timeflies Tuesday. Once again, I'm a day late, but it's fine, great music is still great whenever you hear it. As always, Rob puts together an amazing beat/mix and Cal kills the rhymes. Awesome track/video, but really, all this did was make me even more anxious for The Scotch Tape. FYI, I love the opening to this one, "Say Ah; the last words Cal heard with his tonsils". Enjoy. Say Ah (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies

Can't Hold Us - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Ray Dalton

So good. I knew Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were working on something new, but I really didn't expect a song of this caliber. Can't Hold Us is an amazing track. Not that I didn't expect a great song, I just didn't expect it to be THIS good. Ryan Lewis put together a track that is so catchy, so feel good, and really is larger than life. Macklemore's flow is slightly different on this one, but it really is unreal. The guys also grab Ray Dalton for a wicked hook. Amazing track, so check it out.

Take a listen below, and download from iTunes to support great artists:

Lyrical Exercise #5 - Kam Royal


It's been a loooooooong wait for this one, but it was so worth it. Kam once again takes an amazing beat, and flexes all over it. I feel like I say this a lot, but I'm pretty sure Kam Royal has some of the best lyrical ability in the game right now. His cadence is sick, his flow is fluid, and his rhymes are mint. He really is a great artist. Anyway, I'm gushing a little bit, so i'll just let the track speak for itself. Enjoy it, because I know I did.

Day Of The Deadbeats (Album) - Julius Myth

The Myth Man finally drops his highly anticipated album, Day Of The Deadbeats, and it delivers. Solid tape, that I think will help Julius Myth start to break into mainstream. In case you don't know him yet, Julius Myth is a great artist out of Westchester, NY. Day Of The Deadbeats is actually a combination of two his LP's, Haze & Apple Juice as well as Dead Poets Society, each of which shows a different side of The Myth Man. One is light hearted, and the other is deep and thoughtful. Sick album overall, so as always, a couple of my favs.
