From their free album of the same name (Barely Legal), Split Second releases some new visuals. Honestly, this was probably my favorite track to bump in the car, just because the bass hits hard, PLUS I feel tough as hell listening to it. Anyway, if you haven't already, check the album, and enjoy the video.
This is dope. I feel like I don't even need to explain this one. Production from the ever-dope Brenton Duvall, and some flow from Sonny Shotz (of The Dean's List). Breton sent a beat over to Sonny, and 20 minutes later, Sonny sent this back to Brenton. Simple as that. Enjoy.
A little bit of a change of pace here. A new track from a HotLeaks favorite, GCS. I'll tell you upfront, that this track has a little bit of a different feel to it than their previous releases. MattyFee sent this one my way last night, and I was hooked right away. What If is a really lyrical track, with a real haunting beat. Like I said, a change from GCS's usual sound, but honestly, it's an amazing track. Check it out below.
All right, after a worked filled weekend, I am back to blogging, and I'm going start off my return with a bang. That bang is Kam Royal's highly anticipated mixtape, Vindicated. I have honestly been waiting anxiously for this tape since I heard Lyrical Exercize #1. It definitely lived up to my expectations in terms of showcasing Kam's pure lyrical ability. If you don't know about him yet, you seriously need to get up. Kam has a flow that is so fluid, so casual, and just enjoyable to listen to. Anyway, check out a couple of my favs as always. Enjoy #Vindicated.
This is sick. I didn't even know this was coming. I've posted a couple tracks from Phil Ade's weekly track releasing (dubbed as #PhilAdeFriday) over the past few weeks, but I always seemed to miss them. I'm pretty sure he just waited till I was not around to release them, and by the time I would get around to doing music on Saturday or Sunday, I forgot about #PhilAdeFriday. There was always 2874184927492 tracks I had to listen to, that I got sent or searched for. Anyway, enough about me messing up, this is about Phil Ade. This kid has some serious skill. I have enjoyed every track on this mixtape. Phil Ade really should be getting more hype than he gets, because his flow is awesome, and he knows how to put together a dope track. Check out a couple of my favs, then download the whole tape. Enjoy it.

This is hot. After the last couple tracks from Cato (Camera Zoom/Written In The Stars) got amazing reviews here on HotLeaks, I figured since I just got sent this song from him, I should post it asap. I am really diggin Cato's sound. His flow is seamless, and his rhymes are dope. Cato is really making a name for himself in the game. I'm officially a fan, so be on the watch for more in the future from Cato. Enjoy it.
Today has been unreal for new music. Another sick track, this time from a HotLeaks favorite, PJ Simas. Fresh off his free album, Triple Play (which is still on repeat for my drive to and from work), PJ drops a dope remix to the track Party Rock Anthem. I personally, have always despised LMFAO. Not for any particular reason, just don't like them, but I loved the beat to this track, so it's awesome that PJ did a remix. Check it out, because it's dope as always.
Yeah. You read that right. NEW Sam Adams. He's back with a new track, and it's pure Sam Adams "dub-hop". Watch Out is a dope. No need to talk this track up at all. All you need to know is it's new Sam Adams, and it's sick.
"Mars Music!". It's here. Hot off the presses, D-Pryde drops his highly hyped mixtape Mars, earlier today. I'll be completely honest, I wasn't overly excited for this tape. I mean, I dig D-Pryde, I love his sound, and I love supporting fellow Canadians, but I just felt like Mars was just going to be a tape of a bunch of songs that sounded the same. D-Pryde did some real good on this tape. Each song really stands on it's own, and D-Prizzy really kills it. I'm not going to try and hype this one up, because you really should just take a listen to a couple tracks. D-Pryde is really someone you should watch out for. Here are a few of my favs as always. Enjoy.
Unreal. This joint is BOUND to be huge radio hit. With a catchy beat, a hook you can sing along to from Bruno Mars, and some wicked rapping from Bad Meets Evil, you have an entire golden package. In case you're behind the times, Bad Meets Evil is the colabo superduo of Eminem and Royce Da 5'9, who are releasing an EP on the 14th. Awesome stuff. This one is a MUST DOWNLOAD. Enjoy.
I was kind of upset that I missed out on this one. Matt Clarke suddenly started tweeting the other day, for the first time in a while. The reason I noticed this was because I am pretty sure he was the first person I ever "followed" on twitter, and he NEVER tweeted. Anyway, the point of my story is that Matt came out with a new track and I completely missed it, so when he tweeted about it, I was all over it. Number one, he samples The Rascal Flatts, which may or may not be another guilty pleasure of mine. Number two, this track is really lyrical, almost a diary of Matt Clarke, so it's filled with a lot of thought, which I dig. Overall, a really dope track. Enjoy it.
This is actually pretty sick. I first heard of Big Red when he did the track with Mr. THT (We Are Stars, which ended up on The Best Of HotLeaks mixtape). After that, I've been waiting to hear another sick track from this 15 year old rapper. He samples Lights from Ellie, as you probably guessed by the title, but he actually kills this track. Awesome joint from this new comer, so enjoy it.
I really like this remix. Loggy posted this joint last night, and I loved the original track so I felt like I needed to download this. It's actually so dope. Matamatics takes this upbeat track, and really slows it down, and mellows the feel like crazy. I really dig this, and thanks to this one, I'll be on the watch for more tracks from Matamatics. Enjoy it.
I love when I get these kind of tracks. Just get an email out of the blue, and the track is sick. This one is from new comer E-Stilez out of Cleavland. A lot of talent has been coming from there lately. The second I pressed play, I was pulled in by a sample of Willy Wonka, which was dope. Anyway, E-Stilez is releasing a mixtape later this summer, and if the rest of tracks are anything like this one, I'll be all over that. Enjoy it.
I'm officially a HUGE fan of Collin Mcloughlin. Not that I didn't like his stuff before, but the last few tracks from him have all been golden. His voice is just so soothing and melodic. Collin released this track in celebration of his 3000th fan on facebook. A hot beat, smooth vocals from Collin, and the verse from Hendersin is sick. Overall, a dope new track. Enjoy it, because I know I did.
