The Jig Is Up (Dump'N) - Kendrick Lamar

Almost missed out on this new Kendrick Lamar. I'll be straight, it's probably not my favorite track from him, but it's still pretty dope regardless. Enjoy.

The Pledge Intro (Video) - Rey Leon


Here's a fresh face for your Wednesday night. This is Rey Leon, and he's a fresh up and coming MC based out of Boston. Although this joint is short, it's actually packed with some great flow and lyricism. I can tell you that I will definitely be on the lookout for this guy. Enjoy.

TheWorldENDs (Mixtape) - Johnny Astro

The day has arrived. TheWorldENDs is finally here. Johnny Astro has been working on this one for quite a while now (since at least March), and has been dropping tracks consistently for some time, so to finally hear it in it's entirety is pretty exciting. I've been a fan of Johnny Astro since first stumbling on his joint Someday back in 2011, so it's great to hear where he's gone with his sound as time has progressed. Definitely check this one out. Enjoy.

NightLife (The NightLights) - Johnny Astro x Ellie Goulding

Pharaohs - Johnny Astro ft. Crocket Porter & Supa Hitz

And I know you've already heard this one, but it's probably my favorite off the tape, so I figured I'd share it again:
SkyDreams - Johnny Astro

Like I Used To - Tayyib Ali

The latest single off Tayyib Ali's upcoming tape, Keystone State Of Mind 2. As always, it's got that laid back  vibe that you just can't help but enjoy. Don't miss out on this one.

Yellow Tape - Fat Joe ft. Lil' Wayne, A$AP Rocky & French Montana

Fat Joe's still got it. Once again he's on a Khaled beat, but this time he grabs Weezy, A$AP Rocky and French Montana for some verses. Just couldn't let you miss this one.

Alive (Archie Remix) - Krewella

I forgot to share this banger with you yesterday, but here it is now. Archie dropped this huge remix to Krewella's Alive, and I have been raging to it non stop since downloading. Don't miss out.

Trouble - Timmy D


I would like to introduce you to Timmy D. He's a new artist who's originally from Boston, but now goes to U of Charleston. Now, there is no dancing around the fact that Trouble is a frat rap track through and through, but that doesn't change the fact that it's actually really catchy. Timmy D and his producer LU Balz chop and flip a sample of Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were In Trouble, and turn it into a certified party track. Enjoy this one.

Yung Khaleesi - Marc Goone


With each new release from Marc Goone, it just seems that he gets better and better. Since first hearing him over a year and a half ago, he has truly matured and grown as an artist. His sound has become more refined, his flow has become tighter and more sophisticated, and just overall he's become a great artist. Yung Khaleesi is a dope new track that's got great flow and sick lyricism, so don't miss out on this one.

Take A Firefly (Childish Gambino x Passion Pit) - No Pets Allowed

How have I not heard of No Pets Allowed yet? Regardless of the reason why I hadn't, all I know now is that I'm going to be watching this guy for sure. No Pets Allowed takes one of my favorite Gambino tracks Firefly, and blends it perfectly with Take A Walk from Passion Pit. This is one hell of mix that you can't miss.  And be on the lookout for more from No Pets Allowed (hopefully).

We Come Running (Milkman Remix) - Youngblood Hawke

It's been a while since I've featured any of Milkman's stuff here on HotLeaks, but I just could not pass this one up. He takes Youngblood Hawke's hit track We Come Running, and subtly gives it the perfect dash of an electro/dance vibe. I almost forgot how dope Milkman was. Anyway, enjoy this one.

1, 2, 3 - Ca$his ft. Royce Da 5'9

I've been all about this track lately. It's a drop of Ca$his' upcoming album, The Art Of Dying, with a huge feature from the king of Slaughterhouse, Royce Da 5'9. A tough hip hop track for your listening pleasure. Enjoy.

Drinking For The Bottle - Calvin Harris ft. Tinie Tempah

All you have to do is look at who's on this track, and you just know it's going to be sick. Calvin Harris and Tinie Tempah leaked a sample of this joint a little while back, and it just finally got released on Friday when Calvin Harris dropped his album, 18 Months. This is a great high energy track with some dope vocals, so don't miss out. Enjoy.

Friday, October 26, 2012

Guap - Big Sean


Couldn't let you miss this dope new Big Sean. I've actually been a Big Sean fan since Finally Famous: The Mixtape, so to see him taking off like this is pretty sick. So enjoy the G.O.O.D Music.

Thursday, October 25, 2012

Reason (Cash Cash & The Jane Doze Remix) - Nervo & Hook N Sling

A perfect track for your Thirsty Thursday listening pleasure. The always amazing Jane Doze teamed up with Cash Cash for this dope banger that is just perfect for any rager. Don't sleep on this one.

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

We Found Love (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


Almost missed this one. For the latest Timeflies Tuesday, the guys decided to remix their own remix to We Found Love, and you guessed it, they killed it. Don't miss out.

Pray - Gilbere Forte

The last solo release from Gilbere Forte that I remember seeing was his visual drop for his track Born In '87, and that was over a year ago now. That being said, it's great to hear some new ish from this great artist. Pray is actually a track off a soundtrack for an indi short film (hence the artwork above), but be on the lookout for the video for this track dropping Halloween. Enjoy.

Let's Get Weird - Upper West & Jordan Krawitz


We haven't heard from Upper West in a while (not since their track Common Ground released back in June), but they are back, and they've brought a fantastic new track. Let's Get Weird should be your weekend anthem because it's all about just that, getting weird. This is probably my favorite track from these guys in the last little while.The entire thing reminds me a little bit of And We Danced by Macklemore, which isn't a bad thing at all. Plus it doesn't hurt that this video is just golden. Don't miss out on this one.

Intuition - Bridge

Not sure how I stumbled across this one, but I'm not complaining at all. Don't know much about this joint, other than that the artist, Bridge, is based out of LA. Regardless of what I know about the guy, it doesn't change the fact that this is a catchy track. It's got an R&B / pop-y sort of vibe that I am definitely feeling, so don't miss out. Enjoy.

Down (Video) - e-dubble


Well now I'm excited. Got sent this one yesterday, but since my internet was down last night, I just finally got a chance to share it with you. This is the latest from e-dubble, and as you probably guessed, it's fantastic. Down is off e-dub's upcoming Reset EP, which I honestly had no idea was even in the works, so I'm actually pumped. Anyway, this is a great set of visuals that really manages to compliment e-dubs skills, so don't miss out. Be on the watch for his Reset EP, coming Novemeber 6th. Enjoy.

Lets Go Home (Sound Remedy Remix) - Carousel

I downloaded this gem yesterday, and I have honestly been listening to it constantly. That being said, I figure it would only be fair to share this gorgeous remix from Sound Remedy with you.

Monday, October 22, 2012

New Chick (Video) - Dumbfoundead


One of my favorite tracks off Dumbfoundead's latest album, Take The Stares, now has a perfect set of visuals to accompany it. A great track, so don't miss out on this one. Enjoy.

Dance For You (Remix) - Beyoncé ft. T.I.

Why does it seem like T.I. kills every single track jumps on a track lately? Pretty sure the king is on his way back, and I'm damn glad that he is. Enjoy.

Summer Evening - Windoview

Gorgeous acoustic tracks like this are the kind of joints that I love to pepper my iTunes with. Now it's been a while since we've heard from Windoview, but they have been working hard on their upcoming album, so be on the lookout for that soon. A perfect relaxing joint for your Monday night. Enjoy.

Charlie Brown Remix - Jared Evan ft. Wax, Tayyib Ali & Emilio Rojas

I loved the original version of this track from Jared Evan, so when I saw that he recruited heavy hitters Wax, Tayyib Ali and Emilio Rojas for a remix, I was all over it right away. A fantastic remix to a great track, and if you haven't yet, you need to check out Jared Evan's EP Th Fourth Chapter. Enjoy.

Skyscraper - Ravi

Check out this great new original mix from Ravi, who is actually the artist formerly known as Sex Ray Vision. He recently changed his name due to some legal reasons, but that doesn't change how I feel about him here on HotLeaks. He can still create gorgeous tracks, and Skyscraper is just that. Enjoy.

Friday, October 19, 2012

Lose Myself (The Two Friends Remix) - I Am Lightyear

Once again, a gorgeous blend from The Two Friends. This time the boys decided to put their own spin on I Am Lightyear's track Lose Myself, and it turned out fantastic. They gave it the great and now quite recognizable Two Friends vibe, while still maintaining the integrity of the original track. A great track so enjoy this one.

Thursday, October 18, 2012

Martin & Malcolm (Video) - Luke Christopher


Probably one of the cooler tracks off Luke Christopher's fantastic project, TMRW, TMRW, now officially has some great visuals to accompany it. A simple video, but it suits the track perfectly. If you still don't know his name, you should definitely get familiar with Luke Christopher, because he's going places.

Fuckin Problem - A$AP Rocky ft. 2Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar

This is too dope. A drop off A$AP's upcoming album with features from 2Chainz, Drizzy AND Kendrick Lamar. That's one hell of a lineup. Seriously though, this joint is actually unreal, so you really can't miss it.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

I Knew Lies Were Trouble - The Jane Doze

I know I've said it before, but I really do love these girls. The Jane Doze have once again created a gorgeous mash, this time teaming up Zeds Dead's Remix of Lies by Marina & The Diamonds and I Knew You Were Trouble from Taylor Swift. Seriously, don't sleep on these girls. Enjoy.

Two Steps From Disaster - e-dubble

e-dubble's got the formula down pat. I have said countless times that one of the key elements to being a great artist is creating quality tracks, not pumping out garbage. e-dubble is a great artist for that reason, and many others. Two Steps From Disaster is his latest track, and as always, it is fantastic. If by some crazy reason you still don't know e-dub, get familiar. Enjoy.

Brave (Video) - Raz


It's no secret that I just heard about Raz a month or so ago when he dropped his EP 5 Good Reasons with Sam Lachow. Since then, I have been keeping lookout for anything new from Raz, but this joint managed to fly under my radar. He dropped it back a couple weeks ago now, and it's actually pretty dope. From what I can tell, Brave is off his upcoming project, Cognitive Dissonance, which drops 10.11.12, and I will definitely be checking it out. Enjoy.

My Type Of Party - XV ft. Freddy High

So dope. I was just sitting around yesterday, studying for a couple midterms, and then all of a sudden this gem flashed across my screen. XV is releasing a collab mixtape with Freddy High, Sez Batter and The Awesome Sound and Friday and he decided to leak this joint as somewhat of a teaser. I can tell you that it definitely got me excited for Squarians Volume 1. Be on the lookout and enjoy it.

See My Tears (Video) - MGK


One of the most heart filled tracks from MGK's newest album Lace Up now has a great video to go along with it. See My Tears is filled with fantastic clips of MGK and his interactions and true appreciation for his fans. A great video for a great track. #LaceUp.

Blinded - DJ Tradmark

A fantastic new mash for your Tuesday night listening pleasure. DJ Trademark decided to drop a new track off his upcoming EP yesterday, and this time he kept it pretty simple. Tiesto & Allure mixed with some Usher. I'll be honest, the first 45 seconds or so, I was a little dicey on this one, but when it started to really get into it, I was hooked. Check this one out for sure.

Monday, October 15, 2012

Swimming Pools - M.i


With the first track that he's dropped since releasing The Coldplay Sessions back in in February, M.i is back. Swimming Pools is M.i's spin on Kendrick Lamar's joint of the same name, and it's the first drop off his freshly announced upcoming album Pushing Keys. Enjoy it.

End Of The Story - iSH

Here's the latest from iSH's THR3MIX series, and it is every bit as dope as his previous two drops. End Of The Story is a little bit slower, but iSH manages to fill it with some great heart-felt lyrics. Don't sleep on this series, because I can guarantee it is going to continue to be fantastic. Enjoy.

Real Hip Hop (Video) - Marc Goone


It's been a minute since my man Marc Goone dropped his amazing mixtape Halfway to Nowhere, but he's back and he's brought a great new video with him. In case you missed this track, Real Hip Hop is Goone's narrative all about the "hip hop" game and how it treats him. It's a fantastic track that really demonstrates his  lyrical artistry. Enjoy this one, and be on the look out for more from Marc, as he plans on dropping a couple of new videos every month through the spring.

Backseat Freestyle - Kendrick Lamar

With "good kid m.A.A.d. city" dropping in about a week, you knew someone would have to leak another track. This one was actually from from Hit Boy himself, so don't miss out.

Money (Video) - Raz & Sam Lachow


Another track off of one of my favorite projects as of late, 5 Good Reasons, gets a great set of visuals to go along with it. Money is a gorgeous joint that really demonstrates Raz's skills behind the mic. In all honesty, if you haven't downloaded 5 Good Reasons yet, you need to do that right now. Enjoy this one.

Friday, October 12, 2012

White Dress - Kanye West

Couldn't let you miss the latest from 'Ye. This one is off the soundtrack for RZA's directing debut, The Man With The Iron Fists. Enjoy.

Not A Fuckin' Chance - Big Kurt ft. Reef the Lost Cauze


No idea where this one came from, but I don't really care because it's actually pretty dope. It's no secret that back in that day I was all about guys like Jedi Mind Tricks and Immortal Technique. That being said, this joint has the same sort of vibe, so I'm hyped. This is some tough shit from Big Kurt & Reef the Lost Cauze. Don't miss it.

Dreamers - D1 & Wise

A smooth jam for your Friday night from some fresh faces to HotLeaks, D1 and Wise. Dreamers has some smooth vocals, which are then laced with a great piano heavy melody. I haven't heard of these guys before, but I will definitely be on the lookout after hearing this one. Enjoy it.

Enjoy The Night - Xzibit ft. Wiz Khalifa, David Banner & Brevi

This is actually sick. Xzibit grabbed some help from Wiz and David Banner for a dope set of verses, and then a singer by the name of Brevi for a hook that I can guarantee you'll be addicted to. Don't miss this one.

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Solitaire (Acoustic Cover) - The Two Friends ft. Katie Pearlman


It's no secret that Solitaire from The Two Friends is one of my favorite tracks. It is honestly probably one of the most played songs on my iPod, and that includes the songs that have been on my iPod for literally years. That being said, when I saw that the guys had released an acoustic version of my favorite track, I didn't hesitate for a single second before pressing download. After pressing play, I was blown away at how well they manged to create a gorgeous acoustic from an amazing EDM track. Bravo guys (and Katie!), bravo. Enjoy this one.

Can't Hardly Wait (Mixtape) - Trey Palms

The day has finally arrived. My man Trey Palms has finally dropped his highly anticipated mixtape, Can't Hardly Wait, and it is every bit as dope as what was hoped. This tape is a real showcase of Trey's skills as an artist. Each track has clearly been crafted with the utmost thought and passion, as well as being just plain enjoyable to listen to. Trey's flow moves from being absolutely frosty on some tracks, to tight and smooth on others. Can't Hardly Wait is not a tape you'll want to miss out on, so enjoy.

Shooting Stars - Trey Palms

Tonight - Trey Palms ft. RAJA

Download: Can't Hardly Wait

Hit The Road Jack (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies


In case you didn't know, Timeflies is on tour right now. That being said, Cal and Rob still manage to create a great track for Timeflies Tuesday. As always, Cal's freestyle is sick and Rob's beat is absolutely addicting. Enjoy.

Anything Could Happen (Video) - Ellie Goulding


Couldn't let you miss the visuals from my girl Ellie. On somewhat of a sidenote, Halcyon is out now, and it is fantastic. Enjoy.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Smoke Signals - Jitta On The Track


Brand new drop from Jitta On The Track off his upcoming mixtape, Alphabet Soup. He takes a sample of my girl Ellie, and then actually does a pretty dope job with it. With each drop from Jitta, the more and more I am impressed by him. Be on the lookout for Alphabet Soup.

Love Is Overrated - Shwayze

I don't know about you guys, but it was freezing in my town today. It was the first day where I had to legitimately put on a sweater or I would have been cold. It's kind of depressing, but then I got home and there was a brand new track from Shwayze that brought back that great summer vibe. This joint is off his upcoming EP, Shwayzed & Confused, so definitely be on the look out for that. Enjoy.

**Updated** Die Young - DOSVEC


Here's a great new mash from DOSVEC. He takes the vocals from Ke$ha's Die Young, and mashes them perfectly with the beat from Deadmau5's The Veldt. No DL as of yet, but when the video hits 3000 views, DOSVEC says he'll drop one, so you'll have to enjoy it on youtube for now. The video hit his desired 3000 views, so here's the DL from DOSVEC. Enjoy it.

Download

Pain - Pusha T ft. Future

Still hot off G.O.O.D. Summer, Pusha T has officially dropped his first single off his long awaited solo project. The album should be released sometime next year, but let this joint hold you over until he drops another. Enjoy.

Hey Girl - PropaneLv


It's been a while since PropaneLv has dropped an original track. Over the last while he's had a great string of covers / remixes that he's put together, but it's quite refreshing to hear something fresh like this. Hey Girl is a beautiful blend of Lv's signature 'J.Cole-like' flow and his surprisingly smooth vocals. No DL as of yet, but be on the look out. Enjoy.

Monday, October 8, 2012

Numb - Aziz ft. Ground Up

This came out of nowhere. With Aziz's tape Tinderbox dropping in just a couple days, I really didn't expect him to leak another track, let alone a sick one like this collab with Ground Up. A really addicting beat with some amazing flow from both Aziz and the guys from Ground Up. Don't sleep on this one, and be on the look out for Tinderbox.

Captain Hook (No Hands) - Mike Stud


Happy #SundayStudDay! Mike Stud is back, and he's brought a dope new 'remix' (if you can even call it that) to Waka's No Hands with him. Captain Hooks is a sick track that I honestly can't stop listening to. This beat from Judge is unreal, and Stud's flow is probably the best that I've heard from him in the last little while. A hot track that you will not want to miss. Enjoy.

Friday, October 5, 2012

So Bright - Pretty Lights

Some new Pretty Lights to start off you weekend. It's dark, heavy, and absolutely hypnotic. Definitely a little bit of a change from his normal vibe, but dope none the less. Enjoy.

King Wizard - Kid Cudi

Cudi released a preview of this track about a week ago, and since then, I've been waiting anxiously for it to drop. Just yesterday, he decided to release it and let me tell you, it's every bit as dope as it sounded in the preview. Kid Cudi is back, and he's killing it once again. Can't wait for his upcoming project, Indicud. Enjoy this one.

Hunnid Bands - Raw Facts ft. Gunplay

A tough new track from Raw Facts featuring Gunplay for your Thursday night. Hunnid Bands is another leak off his upcoming tape, Fact or Fiction, which is sounding more and more dope with each leak. Anyway, enjoy this one.

Thursday, October 4, 2012

Timeflies with Taylor - The Jane Doze


Amazing. In case you missed out, Timeflies released an unreal Timeflies Tuesday a couple weeks ago, Taylor, where Cal decided to string some gorgeous vocals together with some mixed Taylor Swift beats from Rob. The unreal duo known as The Jane Doze decided to take that track, and splice it with some actual Taylor Swift samples, and it turned out fantastic. Enjoy this one.

Compton - Kendrick Lamar ft. Dr. Dre

Couldn't let you miss this one. Kendrick Lamar jumps in on a Just Blaze beat, and then grabs a little help from Dre for a couple verses. Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City coming soon.

Same Love (Video) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Mary Lambert


This gorgeous track now how an even more gorgeous video to go with it. In case you missed it when it dropped, Same Love is a track that really shows us why Macklemore is one of the best artists in the game right now. His lyrical content and messages are just plain unmatched. Anyway, enjoy it.

Out of My Mind (Clark Kent Remix) - B.o.B ft. Nicki Minaj

I'll say straight out that the original version of this track was probably the highlight of B.o.B's album Strange Clouds, and I still bump it to this day. That being said, I was kind of hesitant on someone remixing it. But the second I pressed play, I was hooked. Clark Kent took the original, flipped it on it's head, and gave it a sick new vibe. Don't miss out on this one.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

Ashes Rising - Captain Midnite ft. Kyle Lucas & OnCue

Here's a great new drop from Captain Midnite off his upcoming project, All This Will Fade. It takes a minute to get into the track, but the way that Kyle Lucas' and OnCue's flows work with this beat is just absolutely unreal. I'm addicted to this track already, so huge ups to the Cap'n for putting together this one. Be on the look out for All This Will Fade, dropping October 10th. Enjoy.

Don't Give A Damn (Video) - YONAS


Yonas is back with another great video for a track off his latest project, The Transition. This time he put together some awesome visuals for his high energy summer vibe track Don't Give A Damn, and now all I want is summer to start again. Don't miss out on this one.

Monday, October 1, 2012

Figure 8 - Ellie Goulding

Is there any way I can marry Ellie Goudling? I'm pretty sure I'm in love with her and her music. There's just something absolutely entrancing about every single one of her tracks. Anyway, Figure 8 is a leak off her upcoming album Halcyon, which is releasing later this month, so enjoy it.

The Beginning - BLUEfiveone


It's been a while since I've featured BLUEfiveone here on HotLeaks, but he's officially back, and he's brought a great new track for us. The Beginning takes a great sample of The Wanted, and spices it up with some strong lyrical content all about finding the sunshine in the rain. Enjoy this one, and be on the watch for BLUEfiveone's upcoming project, I Can Do It, dropping sometime in November.

Get Free Coleworld - J.Cole x Major Lazer

I missed out on this one last week. Cole jumps on a Major Lazer beat, and gives us a great track with a really cool vibe. Enjoy.
