I love artists on their grind. Kinetics is one of those guys. He's got real skill, and is really doing his thing well. Anyway, you definitely know his name from the NY duo, Kinetics & One Love, and he's now working on an EP with another NYC rapper, Accent. I had never heard of Accent before I got this email, but honestly, if you have Kinetics backing you, you must have some skill. This little gem is an ACTUAL (not a fake) freestyle. Really off the top of their head, with a freestyled hook that was looped in later by One Love. Amazing skill showcase on this track. Enjoy it, get excited for the upcoming Kinetics & Accent colabo EP and check out Kinetics on Facebook.

PLUS, a small treat for you. Kinetics & Accent actually worked together back in '08, before Kinetics even hooked up with One Love. Here are a couple tossback tracks to give you another taste of what's to come.
Love it. Chiddy Bang released some visuals for their track I Can't Stop Freestyle, from thier latest tape, Peanut Butter & Swelly. The video fits the track perfectly, so you really can't ask for anymore than that. Enjoy.
This is hot. P-Holla has been featured here on HotLeaks a couple times, and he finally released his debut mixtape, The Introduction. I really like his sound, and I have high hopes for P-Holla. He has actually been working on this mixtape diligently for the last 3 months, perfecting it, and not just rapping, he has also been producing most of the tracks as well. He did grab some help from TUCKBeats and Mr. Rogers for a couple tracks, but they are mostly self produced. Plus he has a couple sick features from some other up and comers, Skizzy Mars and IanJ. Enjoy a couple of my favs, then cop the whole tape.
Another track from an artist that I hadn't heard of, and grabbed because of the wicked feature. Dylan Owen is no stranger to HotLeaks (even did an interview) , so when he posted this joint where he was feature, I downloaded without a second thought. So glad I did. Winter Snow is a great track. D.N.A's flow is so smooth, and Dylan is on point like always. A great track, so I will be looking for any new D.N.A. Enjoy.
This is sick. Perfect track for your Friday night. I.O.U. are a couple of Jersey boys who have some serious skill. Formerly known as Deuce1s, I.O.U. stands for In Our Universe. I spotted this track floating around the web a little bit, but it didn't get much hype so I honestly didn't think much of it. Then I got an email with the track and the video, and I was hooked. A really well done track. I.O.U. are releasing an album in a few days (July 10th to be exact), B.O.M.B (Breaking Our Mind Barriers), and if it sounds anything like this track, I will be posting ASAP. Enjoy.
It's been a while since I have seen anything from Cello Kid. He released a mixtape back in February and sent it my way, but I feel bad, because I never ended up posting it. I got the email in the middle of midterms and just a really busy week, so once again it got kind of lost in the mix. I downloaded the zip, but never unzipped it, which is a shame, because it had some pretty sick tracks on it. Anyway, here's a new track from Cello. It really shows off his raw talent. This one is the first single off his upcoming mixtape, "Ready, Set...", which is being released on Labor day. Check it out, and get excited.
Plus a treat, stream/download his old mixtape, Forget Me Not below.
