Stuntin' - JayR
Now, I'm going to be honest, I have no idea how I heard of JayR. From what I can gather, he's a great artist out of Killingly, CT, and he has a real dope heavy sound for just being 17. Now time to talk about this track. It starts off with an intense movie orchestra melody that had me hooked right away. After that, JayR spits straight fire from beginning to end. I will definitely be on the watch for more from JayR. Enjoy this one.
Squarian Anthem - XV ft. Sez Batters
Vizzy is unreal. Once again, he drops a fantastic track, and this time he grabs the talented Sex Batters for a feature. I feel like I don't really need to explain this one, because you should all know XV by now, and you should know that your going to get a great track. I will say that this is one of my more favorite tracks that he has dropped over the last little while, so definitely check this out. Enjoy.

LightYears The Mixtape - Johnny Astro
I don't know what it is about Johnny Astro, but I am huge fan of his sound. In case you don't know his name, Johnny Astro is a great artist out of Arlington TX, who I have been a fan of for a while now. I have dropped a couple of his tracks on the site before (Someday and All Yours), and they both got great feedback, so I figured it was only fair that I shared his great new project, LightYears The Mixtape. This is his first official mixtape, and it has been almost 2 years in the making, so it really is a labor of love. Johnny Astro has a sound that is a little different from everyone else, which if you visit the site at all, you know I dig. He is smooth, his lyrical skills are fantastic, and he's just overall enjoyable to listen to. This is definitely a really cool mixtape that is a must download. Plus, for a couple of the tracks he samples artists like Civile Twilight and Coldplay, AND he also samples some quotes from Men In Black and Wedding Crashers, which is dope if you ask me. Enjoy it.

Just The Player's Anthem - DJ 21azy
It's been a minute since we've heard from DJ 21azy, but here's a dope one for you. He took a beat dropped by Jon Kilmer and then threw down some Biggie Smalls, UGK and Outkast on top of it. Overall, it sounds pretty sick, and makes me want more from 21azy, so I'll be on the watch. Enjoy this one.
The Vestibule (Mixtape) - OCD: Moosh & Twist
These kids are unreal. The first I heard of this tape was when they dropped their video yesterday for Hold It Down, and since then, I have been waiting anxiously. The Vestibule didn't let me down, because it's filled with dope tracks, and by filled, I mean all 6 are great. If you don't know these kids yet, you should by now, because they are pumping out non stop dopness. Enjoy a few of my favs, then cop the whole tape.

Crew Love - D. Worthy
In case you don't remember his name, D. Worthy is a great new artist out of Cleveland ,Ohio, who dropped a dope mixtape, Patience Is A Virtue, back in November. I said then that I would be on the watch for anything new, because I could hear something big with this kid. I knew he would start doing things. A couple days ago he jumped on Drake's Crew Love beat, and to be honest, D.Worthy absolutely killed it. His flow is tight, and his lyricism is fantastic. D.Worthy is one to watch. Enjoy it.

Shit I Know - Tayyib Ali ft. Rockie Fresh
Some fresh new Tayyib for you. I'll be straight, this isn't your normal Tayyib Ali that you might be used to hearing. He's usually got a laid back, feel good vibe, but this time he jumps on a tougher, more heavy hitting beat, and spits straight fire. This is one you'll want to blast in the car, because it's got that wicked bass hit. Plus, the more I hear from Rockie Fresh, the more I'm starting to dig his sound. His verse on this track is dope. Enjoy it.
Time Of Your Life - Kid Ink ft. Ned Cameron
I always forget how much I enjoy Kid Ink. I have no idea why he drops off my radar all the time because he's always dropping dope tracks, and this is one of them. This version is a little bit tagged up right now, but it's just at the beginning and then a tiny one on the track, so it's nothing annoying at all. I know you'll enjoy this one.
Waterfall (Remix) - 90's Finest
This is gorgeous. These guys really know how to create great music. They take Coldplay's track Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall from their Mylo Xyloto album, and just tweak the beat ever so slightly, to give it a little bit of a pound, but still somewhat maintain the original track. The more and more I hear from 90's Finest, the more I like them. Enjoy this one.
Hold It Down (Video) - OCD: Moosh & Twist
These kids are unreal. When I first heard of them back in '10, I knew that they were gonna do things. Ever since then they have been dropping non stop bombs. Moosh is so quick and so smooth with his flow, and Twist's spit is just straight tough and frosty. Together, they are unreal. This joint is off their upcoming tape, The Vestibule, dropping on the 13th. I know you will enjoy this one.
Rack City (Remix) - Ryan Hemsworth
Yeah, that's right. This one is from artist extraordinaire, Ryan Hemsworth. This boy has some serious skill. He takes Tyga's tough as hell joint Rack City and gives it a whole new, completely different vibe. This is not one to miss. Enjoy it.
Five - DOSVEC
How am I just hearing about these guys? This right here is how you make a great mega mix / mashup. DOSVEC blends Mylo, FreeSol, Justin Timberlake, Calvin Harris & Archie V with ease. It doesn't sound forced in the least which is fantastic, because a lot of these large mashups end up sounding like a big clusterfuck of disjointed tracks. I will definitely be on the watch for more from DOSVEC, so watch out.
Get U That - Dubby ft. (I Am) James Wade
Now I'll tell you upfront, this joint is a couple weeks old. I was waiting patiently to get my hands on a DL, and just finally today I got one. To be honest, I hadn't ever heard anything from Dubby, but when I saw James Wade posting for his feature, I had to check it out. Dubby is an up and comer from Cincinnati, Ohio, who clearly has gained some notoriety already because he's got a mixtape hosted by DJ Ill Will, which is pretty dope. Anyway, this track is pretty sick. The beat is strangely catchy, Dubby's flow and hook are wicked, and James Wade's ft is dope. Check this one out for sure. Enjoy.
When You Know - The Two Friends
Now this is just fantastic. The Two Friends combine two fantastic tracks, What You Know from Two Door Cinema with Wiz's When I'm Gone, and it comes out gorgeously. These guys are seriously a force to watch out for in the mash/remix game, because their production skill is just on point. Enjoy this one.

Jerry's Record Store - Mac Miller
New track from Mac Miller. He dropped this one yesterday, and I just got a chance to sit down and listen to it now, so I figured I would post it now as well. I will say that Mac is moving back up on my list. He lost some serious ground, with Blue Slide Park and a bunch of weak drops before that, with me. But with his last couple tracks, I have been enjoying him a little bit more. Whether you hate him or love him, here's some new Mac.
