Fragile - Pretty Boy Cuv
This boy's got talent. Not only can Pretty Boy Cuv spit straight fire, but the kid can sing too. His latest is a spin on the Tech and Kendrick track Fragile, and it's nothing short of straight impressive. His flow is sharp and witty, and his vocals are actually fantastic. I say it every single time, but this kid is one to watch, so it's time to pay attention. Check it out below.
Me Too - King Los ft. Kid Ink & Jeremih
In case you missed the news, King Los recently split from Bad Boy Records, but he didn't let it slow him down in the least. He dropped a new mixtape, Zero Gravity II, earlier today, and although it's not my favorite tape, there are definitely a ton of stand outs on it, and this is one of them. A fresh collab track with everyone's favorite, Kid Ink, and Jeremih. Enjoy it.
The Devil Is A Lie - TRIY
It's been a minute since we've seen the name Triy pop up (his last track on my radar was Higher back in June of last year), but he's back, and what a way to jump into the game again. He tackle's Rozay and Hova's now hit track The Devil Is A Lie, and actually manages to kill it. Crispy flow and witty lyricism. What more could you ask for? This one's a cut off his upcoming project, Unexpected Journeys, so hopefully we'll hear more from him soon.

Sun Goes Down - Luke Christopher
Wasn't a big fan of this one when I first pressed play to be honest, mostly because the chopped up kid voices kinda got under my skin. But after Luke Christopher came in with his signature flow and superb lyricism, I was hooked. The beat really grew on me, and now I can't imagine it bothering me in the least. Don't let yourself sleep on this one.
Natural Resources (Video) - Raz Simone
My man Raz Simone hit up SXSW this past week, and while he was there he not onlu performed 6 stage shows, but he also did a bunch of random street shows like the one above. Another great video for one of my favorites off Cognitive Dissonance. Enjoy, and if you still haven't, go cop the album.
459 - YG ft. Natasha Mosley
YG FINALLY dropped his debut studio album on Tuesday, but here's a track that wasn't included on most copies, as it was a Best Buy exclusive bonus track. If you ask me, this one should have made the cut for the album, because it's hot. Check it out below.
Paranoid (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies
Everyone loves Timeflies Tuesdays. This week the boys are back to their classic freestyles, and this time take on Ty Dolla $ign's Paradoid. Check it out above.

Good Morning - Future ft. Durtty Boyz
After finally hearing this in full, I really am convinced that it's the original Drunk In Love. So the story behind this one, according to Future himself, is as follows:
"I was recording with this producer by the name of Detail, we was working on the ‘Drunk in Love.’ And we started working on this other record at the same time, and then once ‘Drunk in Love’ came out, it pushed this song to the side, but at the same time it’s one of my favorite songs that didn’t make the album."He premiered it live at SXSW, but an mp3 (albeit slightly tagged) finally dropped, so check it below and make your own conclusions.
Who Drank My Whisky (Video) - Jez Dior
Prepare yourself Jez Dior fans. He's taken a step in a slightly different direction, so don't expect that old Jez sound. That being said, I'm actually a big fan of this. Like I said, it's definitely different (it has much more of a grunge / heavy alt rock vibe), but it really is an unreal exhibition of Jez Dior's diversity as an artist. Can't wait to hear more. Enjoy it.

Not For The Weak Minded - Crooked I ft. Snow Tha Product
This joint was initially a cut off the SXEW Vol. 2 mixtape, but it just finally got liberated tag free (no more "WHOOOOOO KID!"), and it is sick. Hot bars from the always sick Crooked I, and Snow actually manages to hold her own real well too. Enjoy.
My Afternoon Dream - Jhene Aiko
Over the weekend it was Jhene Aiko's 26th birthday, and she decided to put together a freebie for the fans. As you can probably guess, it's smooth and gorgeous. Check it below.
Apex - Nitty Scott, MC ft. Ab-Soul
An impressive showcase from Nitty Scott, with a feature from the always dope, Ab-Soul. The flow and sound of this one reminds me of something Talib Kweli or Mos Def would put together. A simple beat with a horn over top, perfect for an exhibition of flow and lyrical prowess. It's a cut off Nitty's upcoming The Art Of Chill, which drops in May, so be on the watch.
Show Me / Paranoid - Mike Stud
Mr. Mike Stud has put together a sick new cover/remix. He asked the fans for some suggestions on a new track to do for his latest #SundayStudDay, and the top ones were Kid Ink's HUGE breakout hit Show me, and Ty Dolla $ign's Paranoid. Well instead of picking one, Stud decided to blend em together in this fantastic remix produced by Louis Bell. Can't not enjoy this one.

Hookah - Tyga ft. Young Thug
Honestly, I don't know how much more I can explain about this track, other than what you can probably guess about it from seeing the name as well as who's on it. Seriously, it's exactly what you would expect. Catchy and simple. Enjoy.
What Kind Of Love - Childish Gambino
An unreleased treat for your Monday night. A track off Bino's Because The Internet that didn't quite make the cut because he "thought it was whack". It ended up leaking and hitting iTunes, and Bino being the man he is, didn't want any of that, so he dropped it himself for free. Check it below.
