From 90 Till Infinity - Kiddo

I got sent an email about this guy a couple days ago. I don't know how I have missed out on him before, because he's really been on his grind. Kiddo has put out 8 mixtapes, and has actually amassed over 2600 fans on facebook. That right there is a win in my books. In the email that I got, it had a few songs that were pretty good, so I decided to give Kiddo a little more of a check out. I ended up digging through his soundcloud and found this gem. When I first spotted the title, I needed to hear it. '93 Till Infinity is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. I pressed play and I was actually pleasantly surprised. Kiddo's got a great smooth flow. He's releasing a mixtape sometime at the end of summer / start of school entitled This Is Not A Mixtape 2, which from the sound of this track (as well as his newer ones) will be pretty dope. Anyway, enjoy the track.

Liar Liar (Remix) (Video) - PJ Simas

Hot new visuals from the always dope, PJ Simas. This time he put together a simple video for his wicked remix of Liar Liar, completely shot at Disney Land. Yeah, that's right, I said Disney Land. Some real #DisneyLandSwag going on here. I love how throughout the entire video, you see random people looking so curiously, and probably wondering what the hell is going on. Great video, from a great artist. Enjoy, and if you haven't, grab the track below.

Leap Year (Mixtape) - Hoodie Allen

This right here, is the pride and joy of Hoodie Allen right now. This whole tape is really a look into his life up to this point. One thing that I didn't actually know about Hoodie Allen is that he actually worked at google, but then quit his job to pursue his true passion, great music. I'm pretty sure Hoodie Allen has been added to my list of great artists right now. Not just for his great music, or his great lyrical ability, but because he's so real. He's true to himself, and doesn't fake it. He sends out his own emails, he replies to ALL his fans tweets, he appreciates all the support he gets, and I really respect that. Anyway, enough about me gushing about Hoodie Allen, I'll just let you listen to a few songs from Leap Year, then you need to go download it. Enjoy.

Black & Gold - Quincy Kwalae

I feel like the wub wub is growing on me. I remember the day when dubstep bugged the hell out of me. Now I find myself raging to dubstep on a regular basis. So when Quincy hit me with this track, I was all over it. From what he tells me, he heard the original version from Sam Sparro, and he got hooked. He put together the track a while ago, but just recently got around to mastering it, and let me tell you, I'm addicted to it. Great track, from a great artist who continues to keep it fresh. Enjoy it.

Feelin' Like Ooh - Easy Does It

This is unreal. Another track that transcends genres in my opinion. Mix in some Hip-Hop with Acoustic with some Rock, and then splash in some summer feel, and you have this track. Easy Does It are a group of guys out of Atlantic City, NJ. They sent this track my way after seeing that I had posted Collin McLoughlin’s cover of Stereo Hearts, along with a cover of theirs as well. The main track that they wanted me to check out was their cover of a new RHCP track, The Adventures of Raindance Maggie. To be honest, I didn't actually like the original track, so I wasn't a HUGE fan of their cover. I definitely liked it a lot more than the original, and the track/video was extremely well done, but I just wasn't a fan of the track in general. BUT, on a nicer note, I loved this track of their that they included at the bottom of the email. Great sound, so I have high hopes for these guys. Enjoy the track, then check them out on facebook, twitter or their own site.



AND, in case your curious, here's their cover of RHCP:

Dear Friends, Vol III (EP) - Sol

After his last track that I posted  a couple days ago, The Times, got great reviews, I figured I would drop Sol's EP that he just released. Honestly, I really like it. Sol's voice and flow are just so smooth, and so enjoyable to listen to. This whole EP lived up to my expectations. Check out a couple of my favs, expect more from Sol to come, and enjoy the EP.

For The Love - Sol ft. Dice


Addicted - Sol

Deliliah (Diplo Remix) - Mavado

Now, I don't usually post tracks like this, but the second I heard it, I was hooked. So smooth. I have heard a couple Diplo remixes in the past, but this one is sick. The others that I have heard have been a bit more electro/dub than what I'm a fan of, but this track has the perfect blend. Something for you to crank up, and vibe out to. Enjoy.

Fame - BBNR!

BBNR! AKA Business Boys Never Rest, have been flying under my radar for some time now. Every time I heard word about them, it's always on a busy day. I know, I seem to make that excuse a lot, but it's the truth I swear. I'm just one man, I can only do so much. Anyway, I finally have had some time to check these guys out, and I actually really dig their sound. BBNR consists of 3 guys out of Everett, Washington. Kris Cooley and Savelli for vocals, and Marcisgatsby for the dope production. If the rest of their stuff sounds anything like this track, I will be all over their Villains EP, which is dropping 08/09/11. Enjoy the joint.

Take It Apart - Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite ft. Murder Dice

This track is so sick. This one is another drop off Kyle Lucas & Captain Midnite's upcoming project, which from the sounds of this track plus the great sound of their last one, is going to be unreal. The Sky Is Falling And I'm Fine is going to be released soon hopefully, because honestly, all this track did was whet my appetite because it was so sick. Anyway, great track once again, so enjoy it.

Rhythm - Adam K ft. JayR

It took me a couple listens, but this track is actually pretty catchy. Adam K sent this joint my way a couple days ago, and whenever I would sit down to listen to it, I would only listen to the first few seconds, then I would get pulled away to do something else, so I haven't given it a good listen until tonight. I liked it. I thought Adam K might have been just a single track wonder, but with this track he's showing some serious growth as an artist. He's starting to grow into his sound a little bit more. Plus, JayR does his thing real well on the joint as well. Anyway, enjoy the track.

Best Day Ever (Video) - Mac Miller

One of my favorite tracks of his recent mixtape of the same name. I will admit, I never like it when instead of getting into the actual video, artists put up some too long opening. In this case, Rex Arrow Films puts together a great video, but the opening of Mac as a kid was just a little too long for me. That aside, a cool video for a good track. Enjoy, and if you haven't, check out the mixtape below.

The Times - Sol ft. Grieves & Budo

I've been on the watch for another joint from Sol for a while now. Ever since I heard him on Grynch's track, All I Wanna Do. This track is dope. Sol absolutely kills this joint, and Grieves holds his own as well. I'll be honest, I don't know much about the track, or the up coming mixtape that this is from. All I know is that this track has a wicked beat, great hook, smooth flow and a catchy tune, so it's all good in my books. Enjoy.

Wings (Video) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

So good. When I first heard the song, I was blown away, because I'm honestly a huge sneaker head, so it hit me hard. When I heard that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were raising money so that they could do the video  the way that they wanted to do it, I got excited. Here is their final product, and it really is a visual masterpiece. I felt like I was watching a movie. Anyway, it's a great video for and amazing track, so check it out.

Rebuild - e-dubble

I love e-dubble. He's back again with another great track. He is one of those artists who is consistently great. One of those guys who, if he puts out a new song, I don't even need to listen to it to know it's good. This track is one of those. Plus, he's always original, doesn't just rap about the same old shit that everyone else does, and he always has a message. "Life is like Lego's, gotta keep building, smash that building, then rebuild it". Enjoy it.

T-Shirt Ideas + Actual Domain Name

All right guys. I've been tossing around the idea of doing T-Shirts for a little while now, and from what I have seen, it has gotten some pretty positive feedback. I'm in the final stages of figuring out a design/colors, so I'm looking for some more feedback. Up above is the main idea I'm thinking, with possibly another much smaller logo on the back of the neck (or HotLeaks.net if I decide to buy that domain name). Below, I'm going to toss up a couple other colors/ideas.

A white T version...

A completely different logo, really rough, just tossed it together for another possible idea

And my final order of business thats NON music related, is I would like to get some final thoughts on an official blog domain. It's looking like it's going to be "HotLeaks.net", so i just want to know if you like it or not. 

ANYWAY, all ideas/thoughts, either send em via email to HotLeaks@hotmail.com, or just in the comment box below. Thanks a ton for checking out HotLeaks. Now, i'll get back to the music
