Inhale - Cam Meekins
It's been a minute since we've heard from Cam Meekins here on HotLeaks (last track I posted was Become back in September), and I'm not 100% why, but I do know that I couldn't pass up on this track after hearing it. Inhale is a great, chilled out introspective from Cam that is overall, really well done. Don't miss out.
Overdose (The Chainsmokers Remix) - Little Daylight
I just can't stop listening to this track. I would like to introduce you to The Chansmokers, a couple of guys out of NYC who can create some amazing sounds. This is their official remix to Little Daylight's Overdose, which to be honest with you, is a fantastic track by itself, but these guys decided to take it in a whole other direction. They turn up the tempo, and then add some gorgeous house/EDM flair to it, and in the end, out comes an extremely haunting track that you just can't help but enjoy. I will definitely be on the watch for more from these guys. Enjoy.

Dead Gold (The Notorious B.I.G. x Macklemore & Ryan Lewis) - Chip Ivory
I like to have hipster thoughts, so that means I like to think that I was one of the first people to really become a fan of Macklemore. That being said, I'm also a huge sucker for anything with a B.I.G. sample. So when I saw this mix from fresh face Chip Ivory, I needed to check it out. I am impressed. Chip takes the vocals from Biggie's Dead Wrong, and blends them perfectly with Ryan Lewis' (and I guess Macklemore's too) beat from their track Gold. Definitely a track to check out.
Stay (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies
How did I miss this one? I'm not going to try and explain it, so all I'm going to do is apologize. Enjoy the new Timeflies Tuesday.
Boston Bass - Clinton Sparks
Clinton Sparks gives us a huge banger that is perfect for any St. Patrick's pre-game party. A good track by itself, but if you ask me, if it one was spliced up a bit with some rap flow, it could be 10x better. Anyway, that's just this humble bogger's opinion. Enjoy this one.
Colfax - Pries
Dennis Rodman - Marc Goone ft. Nick Luebke
Smooth flow: ✓, Great meaningful lyrics: ✓, Catchy hook: ✓, Addicting beat: ✓. Well, it looks like this new drop from my man Marc Goone and Nick Luebke has everything you need for a great track. Don't miss out.
5 (Intro) - Skizzy Mars
Skizzy Mars is set to release his debut mixtape, Phases, in less than two weeks, and to tide us over until then, he's decided to drop the intro track. Simply put, this is impressive. Since Skizzy burst onto the scene with Douchebag, each new track that he released was good, but to me, they just never quite lived up to his debut. That being said, 15 is great drop. I have really high hopes for this tape, so be on the lookout. Plus, it has some spectacular production from Fareoh, so you really can't go wrong there. Enjoy.

Change (Video) - Dizzy X
To be honest with you, I really don't know much about this one. All I got was a simple email with just this YouTube link, and nothing else. Usually when I get emails like that it's some sort of spam shit, so I just delete them right away. But just as I was about to empty out some emails, I got a tweet from kid I had never heard of, Dizzy X, asking me to check my email. I then put two and two together and decided to check out this mysterious YouTube link. After pressing play, I was seriously impressed with Dizzy X's smooth flow. Like I said, I don't know much about this kid, but what I can tell you is that I will be on the watch for more from him for sure. Enjoy this one.
Beat It - Sean Kingston ft. Chris Brown & Wiz Khalifa
This one dropped a couple days ago dripping in Flex tags, but a CDQ has finally been released. This has potential to be a pretty big club hit, so grab it while it's hot.
Good Ass Intro (Video) - Chance The Rapper
Alright everybody. I'm officially on the Chance The Rapper bandwagon. Now it may be a hazard of blogging and I hate to say it, but I'm extremely influenced by first impressions. If I hear a track by a new artist and I'm not feeling it, I won't really pay attention to anything more by that artist. Yes, ye,s I know how awful that is, but I've come to peace with it and so should you. So I don't want to say that I actively avoided listening to Chance, it's just that my first introduction to him was with a track that I wasn't really a fan of. Anyway, all that aside, like I said, I'm officially a fan now. He's got a fresh and original sound with a great flow. Plus a YouTube commenter pointed out a fact that I completely agree with: this video is hugely reminiscent of Ye's Good Life from back in the day, so don't miss out. Acid Rap, coming April 30th.

Gangster - Yelawolf ft. A$AP Rocky & Big Henry
Alive (Video) - Huey Mack x Mike Stud
Everyone's favorite frat rap teamup is back with another hot track. They've taken up the tempo a bit when comparing it to their last track together, Dick Head, but that kind of comes with the territory when your on a remixed Krewella track. Anyway, enjoy it.
Back To The Basement (Mixtape) - OCD: Moosh & Twist
After giving us a last minute teaser track/video yesterday, Moosh & Twist have finally released their highly anticipated mixtape, Back To The Basement, and it is dope. Every single track is a showcase of their growth and skills as artists. It has tracks that will appeal to the true hip hop heads, and then it has tracks that are a bit more pop-heavy. These kids have come a long way, and have matured their sound substantially, while still maintaining that special something that got people hyped in the first place. Congrats OCD. Definitely don't miss this tape. Enjoy.
Shapeshifter (Video) - Chester Watson
We were first introduced to Chester Watson last month with his track Phantom, and after hearing it, I told you that I would be on the lookout for anything new from him. Well here it is, and it's just as captivating as his first track. I said it before, but I'll say it again for anyone who missed it: Chester's sound is a perfect cross between Olu, Kendrick Lamar and Odd Future. Shapeshifter is a cut off his latest mixtape, Phantom, which you should definitely check out. Anyway, enjoy this one, and like I said before, watch out for this kid.
