Video Games (Lana Del Rey Remix) - Kinetics & One Love

So sick. As always, I am blown away. Kinetics & One Love absolutely kill this track. This one is another drop off their upcoming mixtape, Cross-Fading Back to Normal, which is going to be a tape entirely consisting of mashup/remixes. This track is amazing, and I know that all the other tracks will be just as great, so I'm extremely pumped for Cross-Fading Back to Normal. Anyway, listen to the brand new track, because I know you'll love it. Enjoy.

Yeah Again - DJ Beemer

He's back with another banger. I'll be honest, I don't like the song Yeah 3X. I don't know what it is about it, but I just never enjoyed it. DJ Beemer manages to take the track and breath some life into it for me. He actually put together a really enjoyable mash. A perfect joint for you to blast tonight, because it friday, and you should be getting ready to rage (or already raging). Check it, and enjoy it.

Lightwork - Lupe Fiasco ft. Ellie Goulding & Bassnectar

I couldn't not post this. Brand new Lupe, off his upcoming album/mixtape, Friend Of The People, which from the sounds of it, will be a little bit a remix-ish tape, possibly. I'm down for that. Anyway, Lightwork, Lupe goes hard all over Bassnectar's remix of Ellie Goulding's track Lights. I'll be honest, not my favorite Lupe track ever, but still sick. Check it out, and enjoy.

Another Night (Remix) - DJ 21azy

I told you that you would see more of this guy. DJ 21azy, who's last track was a sick Chiddy Bang and Childish Gambino mash, is back, and this time he puts together a Mac's track Another Night, with the vocals from Cole's Who Dat. Unreal. I will be on the watch for more from DJ 21azy, so get familiar.

Feel No Pain (Video) - MDH

Brand new visuals from Modern Day Hippies. I'm a little late posting it, but good music is good music regardless. This one is for their dope track, Feel No Pain, off their recent album, Overture. A simple video, but it succeeds in showing off this great track. If you haven't yet, go grab Overture on iTunes. Enjoy.

Sunflowers - Jellyfish Brigade

Don't be quick to judge these guys. I got an email a few weeks back from a group called "Jellyfish Brigade", and I just kind of skimmed over it. A few days ago, I finally gave the joint a listen, and let me tell you, I'm impressed. Now, this has a little bit of a different sound than what I usually post, so don't be too quick to judge it. Give it a good listen through, because it's got a really cool sound. They blend folk and hip hop with electronic extremely well. Jellyfish Brigade is a newer duo based out of Portland, Oregon. Check out the track, and enjoy it.

Insomniac Dreams (Mixtape) - Eddy B & Tim Gunter

About a year ago, Eddy B & Tim Gunter dropped their debut mixtape, Dear North Carolina, Welcome Back, and it was dope. I still regularly toss on some of my favorite tracks from it. Anyway, this new tape is once again is great. You can tell that Eddy B and Tim G have both grown a lot as artists over the last year, and here at HotLeaks, we've been with the for their entire journey. Well at least since HotLeaks started back in December. As always, some of my favorite joints, then you should definitely cop the whole tape below.

California (Video) - Radical Something

All I want to do is go to California now and live the carefree lifestyle. As I sit here and watch this awesome video for this fantastic track, I realize, I should probably be studying for midterms. Whoops. Check out the video, and if you haven't cop the whole album from Radical Something, We Are Nothing, now.

Lyrical Exercise #6 - Kam Royal

Kam Royal drops a brand new Lyrical Exercise for our listening pleasure. As always, it's sick. Kam actually put up a facebook status along the lines of "if I get 100 likes on this status ill drop lyrical exercise 6", and within a couple hours, he received 120 likes. After that, he gave us this gem. Once again, this one has a little bit of a more mellow vibe to it, but regardless, it's smooth. Check it and enjoy.

Cheer Up / Lost Ones / Lights Please Cover - PJ Simas

New cover from the always dope PJ Simas. This time he tackles three fantastic J. Cole tracks in one go. It's really well done, but that was expected, because everything PJ touches is golden. Check it out, and then DL it below.

College Boy Dreams (Mixtape) - Mr. Defoe

It's been a while since we've heard from Mr. Defoe. The last time (and first time) I heard from Mr. Defoe, he was on a dope track with a HotLeaks favorite, Olu. Since then, he's clearly been working his ass off, and clearly flying under my radar, because this tape is dope. In case you aren't familiar, Mr. Defoe is an up and coming artist based out of Ohio, and is a second year student at the University of Toledo. After listening to this entire tape, I can honestly say that this kid has got some serious talent. His flow is tight and polished, not to mention diverse. Each song sounds different, but he somehow keeps the same dope sound. Check out a couple of my favs, as always, below, then go cop the tape to help out a great up and comer.

Put It In Your Manners (Childish Gambino vs. Chiddy Bang) - DJ 21azy

Wow. That is all I have to say. I always loved the Chiddy Bang beat for Mind Your Manners, so when a newcomer DJ 21azy takes it and flips some Gambino verses on it, I couldn't help but grab it. Just check it out, and I know you'll enjoy it. Watch out for this guy, because you will definitely be seeing his name more often if he keeps the tracks as dope as this one.

Rigamortis (Video) - Kendrick Lamar

Now, I'm not going to pretend I loved Kendrick Lamar before seeing this. I knew about him, but I really never checked any of his stuff out. After seeing him on the BET Cypher, I had to give this guy a second look. He just released a new video for a dope lyrical masterpiece called Rigamortis, and it's fantastic. Check it out and enjoy it.

Get It Together (Mixtape) - Outasight

I don't know what it is about Outasight, but I can't help but thoroughly enjoy every track he does. This gem of a mixtape is actually a compilation of old and new Outasight tracks, which is dope. I was only made aware of Outsight at the end of August, so to hear a ton of songs like this, I am pumped. In case you've been sleeping, Outsight is a NY artist, who really transcends genres. I know, you hear that a lot these days, but seriously, he blends pop, hip-hop, electronic, and even the blues, like it's no problem. Each of his tracks sounds different, but still has a signature sound, which is dope. Anyway, check a couple of my favs below. Enjoy it.

Shes Leaving Home - Outsight

Season Three (Mixtape) - Drew Howard

In case you don't recognize the name, Drew Howard is a dope 19 year old artist out of Ajax, Ontario. It's been a minute since I have posted anything from Drew, so for that I'm sorry. Season Three is his brand new mixtape that dropped a few days ago. I'm just getting around to checking it out, and let me say, I'm impressed. His flow is tight, and he's got a sound that's different from everyone else, which if you hit the site often, you know I dig. Anyway, I'll let the tracks speak for themselves, so here are a few of my favs. Enjoy.
