It's Forever - Cato ft. Hendersin

Wow. I am impressed. I knew Cato had skill, but honestly, this has to be one of my favorite tracks from him to date. For this one, he actually teamed up with another artist who is no stranger to HotLeaks, Hendersin, and they both kill this track. After hearing this dope joint, my hope are extremely high for Cato's upcoming album, HiPOP, which if it sounds anything like this track, will be sick. Anyway, enjoy the new track.

Red October (Mixtape) - Play N Skillz

This is a dope mixtape. It's been a long while since I have heard the name Play-N-Skillz, so when I got an email about their latest tape, I was blown away. These guys are a real nostalgia factor for me. When I first got into rap, it seemed like these guys were producing every single track. I had so many tracks with their drops on them. So, like I said, I was blown away when I got an email about some new stuff, and I couldn't help but check it out. Overall, I am impressed by this tape. The tracks are all amazingly produced, have wicked flow on them, and just are real good to listen to. Check a couple of my favs below, then go cop the entire tape.

5 AM - Olu ft. Lily Allen

A little late on this one, but here's some new Olu. I'll be honest, I really didn't like the original T-Pain track, I don't know what it was about it, but I just didn't like listening to it. That being said, Olu managed to make this track dope for me. Olu has so much skill, and I don't understand why he doesn't get more hype than he gets. Anyway, check out the great track, and enjoy it.

Making The Most - New Linen

A wicked new joint from New Linen. The boys drop their second single single the release of their fantastic mixtape Merp Nation. Once again, New Linen manages to make an amazing song. This time, they decide to put together an acoustic track, with some smooth flow, and they actually kill it. Check it out, and enjoy.

I'm On One (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies

Wow. How did I miss this. Instead of their usual freestyle, Cal and Rob decided to spice it up with an AMAZING cover. Just when I thought that I was completely tired of I'm On One remixes/covers, the boys in Timeflies breath some life back into this beaten to death track. Unreal. That's all I have to say. Enjoy it.

All My Troubles - The Dean's List

New joint from The Dean's List. It takes about a minute before the track gets into it, but overall it's pretty dope. I'll be honest, it's not my favorite tack from the boys, but it's still dope regardless. But, I know your going to see "NEW" and "The Dean's List", so your probably not going to read this far, and you'll just take a listen/watch. Enjoy. No DL link yet, but will keep you updated.


****UPDATE. I got my hands on a DL, so enjoy you can bump this joint on the ipod.****

845 - Kinetics ft. Krystyle

New joint from the always dope Kinetics. This new one is a tribute to the Hudson Valley area of the 845, where Kinetics and Krystyle grew up. Overall, real sick track. Will definitely be on the watch for more from Krystyle too. In other news, Kinetics & One Love are releasing an album in "early 2012", but until then, EVERY Wednesday, they will be dropping a new track. So pumped. Anyway, enjoy the new track.

Better Than Before (Video) - OnCue

Hot new track from OnCue. Cuey's lyrics hit heavy on this one, with an amazingly haunting beat to back them up. Overall, a wicked track. I am always so blown away by Cuey's lyrical ability, his fantastic flow, and his unique sound. Can't Wait coming November 16th. Enjoy.

Let's Roll - Yelawolf ft. Kid Rock

First joint from Yela that I've heard in a while that I have actually enjoyed. Maybe its the catchy hook from Kid Rock, or maybe it's because Yelawolf sounds like he's gone back to his roots a little bit. Either way, it's an enjoyable track.

Ass Back Home - Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch

This is going to be big, if its not already. Gym Class Heroes have a sound that appeals to a lot of people. Plus, I know I have said that I really don't like Neon Hitch, but I think she's like Akon for me. As in, I really don't like full tracks from just her, but she is AMAZING at hooks. Anyway, check it out.

And We Danced (Video) - Macklemore x Ryan Lewis

Hilarious. When I first heard that Macklemore was putting together a video for this track, all that was going through my head was, "I hope he doesn't try and make anything serious out of it", and let me tell you, he didn't. I don't even want to try and explain how funny this is, because I will probably ruin it. Just watch, and enjoy.

Not (You) It's Me - Uno Hype

New ish from the one and only Uno Hype, and let me just say, this kid has got some serious talent. His flow is so loose and so hot. I don't understand why he doesn't get more (pardon the pun) more hype, because Uno Hype has amazing skills. Plus this sample is haunting as hell, so it really adds to the real heavy feeling of this joint. Check this one out for sure. Enjoy.

That We Loved (Sex Ray Vision Remix) (Video) - De-Lor

Great new visuals for a fantastic track from an amazing emerging artist, De-Lor. This video actually suits the feel of this track perfectly. Partying, havin a good time, black lights, and of course, bumpin and grindin on the dance floor. Check it out, and if you haven't yet, go grab De-Lor's fantastic debut mixtape, J'Adore. Enjoy it.

Tonight (EP) - Bombs and Bottles

I first brought you Bombs and Bottles a few weeks back, with his great track When The Lights Go Out. Now, last week, he dropped his EP, Tonight, which I downloaded extremely quickly. BUT, I downloaded it right in the middle of midterm hell for me, so the zip file never got unzipped, therefore it never got added to my iTunes library, which means I pretty much forgot about it. For that, I am sorry. This is a fantastic EP that I definitely slept on. Now that I gave it a good listen, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoy every single track (all 5 of them). I've said it before, but Bombs and Bottles has such a great sound. Check out ones of my favs, then you need to go download the entire EP. Enjoy.

See Me Now (Video) - TeeJay

It's been a little while since I have seen TeeJay's name pop up on my radar, but just a couple days ago, he dropped a Jon Kilmer produced video for his first single from his upcoming mixtape. If this track says anything about the tape, it sounds like it will be dope. TeeJay's flow is smooth, the hook is catchy, and the beat is so dope. Overall, a dope track. Check this one out for sure, and be one the watch for more from TeeJay.
