Dear ______ - Kam Royal

Short but sweet. Dear ____ is Kam's new joint, dedicated to anyone who has ever ended a relationship. This whole track (all 1:30 of it) is smooth, filled with Kam's amazing flow and lyrics, and really hits hard. Dear _____ isn't actually off Kam's upcoming tape, so it's more of a teaser to where his sound is at. Enjoy it.

When We're Done (Video) - XV


As always, Vizzy gives me another reason why he is one of my favorite artists out right now. A fantastic video, for easily, one of my favorite tracks off his album Zero Heroes. I have huge hopes for Vizzy, and I would love to see him really take off. Anyway, bottom line, great video from a great artist. Enjoy.

Bullshittin On My Coffee Break - The Jane Doze

This is sick. Once again, mashers take note. A few weeks back, Zed's Dead dropped a new track, Coffee Break (which is dope), but I just never got around to posting it. Now, The Jane Doze take that unreal beat, and splice it with some vocals from Big Sean, Bullshittin, and create a whole new, insane track. These girls know how to mix. Anyway, I'll let the track speak for itself, so enjoy.

No Thanks (Video) - Ground Up


This is one of those videos that suits the track perfectly. Tough track, with a tough as hell video. In case you missed it, Ground Up dropped their mixtape, The Get Down, just a couple days ago. If you haven't already, check that out for sure. Enjoy the visuals. No Thanks (Video) - Ground Up

All The Way - OnCue


Cuey is about to blow, so get familiar. As always, this new track is so dope. Cuey has such a wicked, original sound that separates him from the mess of other artists out there right now. When an OnCue track comes on your iTunes, you know it's him without a second guess. Overall, a great track, with some fantastic lyricism. Plus, I'm a huge fan of this video. Simple, smooth, but I love the way it splices digital static. Some people may not like that, but I think it was extremely well done. Anyway, grab the track below, and get excited for Can't Wait. Enjoy.

The Ugly Show (Mixtape) - James Wade

When I first got word about James Wade a little while back, with his track Lights On!, I didn't really know what to think. I can tell you that he did grab my interest, enough so to download his new mixtape. I was actually pleasantly surprised by the quality of this entire tape. James Wade holds his own with his unique flow, and really kills some of these tracks. I can see him grabbing a huge following soon, so watch out. Anyway, check out a few of my favorites below, then cop the whole tape.

Make That Money - Macklemore x Ryan Lewis

I always forget how much I love Macklemore's flow and Ryan Lewis production skill. Every time my iPod goes on shuffle, and one of their tracks comes on, I need to listen to it, because no matter my mood, I know I will enjoy it. Now, time to talk about this track. Really, it's just as dope as every other one that they have released. Amazing beat, with Macklemore's signature fantastic flow. I know you'll enjoy this one.

Make That Money - Macklemore x Ryan Lewis

Together - Skizzy Mars

He's back, and as always, Skizzy Mars kills it. He has such a dope sound, but somehow still manages to keep it original on every track. Skizzy also has a great story telling lyrical ability. You can't help but listen to the story he spits. Anyway, new track, check it out.

The Get Down (Mixtape) - Ground Up

This whole tape is so dope. Ground Up, in case you don't know, is a dope hip-hop trio out of North Philly, consisting of the producer Bij Lincs, and two emcees Azar and Malakai. Their sound is sick, and is one of those that is really distinct from the rest, which I dig. The Get Down is a solid mix of heavy beats and smooth melodies, rough vocals and tight flow. Overall, I was extremely impressed. Expect to hear more from these guys. Here are a couple of my favs, then go cop the entire mixtape.

Tonight Is The Night - Outasight

Every single song this guy releases ends up on repeat for me, and this one is no different. Fun fact about this new track, it's actually in a new pepsi commercial. That's pretty huge if you ask me. So in case you've been sleeping, jump on this Outasight train. No DL link as of yet, so you'll just have to enjoy on youtube (and in a pepsi commercial)

Willie Dynamite - Mac Miller

Another HUGE milestone for Mac Miller and his #Road2AMillion fans. 900,000. Almost there. Once again, he drops a celebratory track, and I'll be honest, this one has to be one of my favorites of his milestone tracks by far. Enjoy.

We Are Nothing (Album) - Radical Something

It's here. It's finally here. Radical Something started at the beginning of this summer as the dream child of Loggy, DJ Big Red and Josh Cocktail. These guys set out to truly create a musical movement, and I can honestly say that I think they succeeded. Every track up to this point has been just a tease of this great album. Filled to the brim with feel good vibes. I know, that sounds cheesy, but it honestly is. Anyway, enjoy the album.

Freedom - Radical Something


Hey Babe - Radical Something


Escape - Radical Something (Yes, I know you've heard it, but it was my summer anthem)

Dead Presidents (Video) - Tarik


I am more and more impressed by this guy after each track I hear. Tarik's lyrical ability is great, and his flow is on point, and he does surprisingly well on this classic Jay-Z beat. This is actually the last single he's dropping before his mixtape, T.R.I.G.S. comes out on the 26th. Enjoy, and then get excited for his upcoming mixtape.

Last Man Standing (Video) - Asher Roth ft. Akon


This video was so well done. The art style is unbelievably original, and I was hooked until the end. I know you know the track already, but in case you don't, I put a DL below. Enjoy.

Young Sinatra (Mixtape) - Logic

In case you don't know him, Logic, who I first heard of with his track Mind Of Logic, is an emerging hip-hop artist out of Maryland. This kid has some serious lyrical ability, which is really refreshing in this saturated world of hip-hop. Logic has a flow that is so on point, his delivery is so fresh, and he has an ability to grab samples that is unreal. This may be a bold statement, but Young Sinatra reminds me why I got into hip-hop. Anyway, check out a couple of my favorites, but you seriously need to download this one. Enjoy
