Peaceful Riot - Huey Mack ft. Phil Ade & Young Scolla

Here's a great new track from Huey Mack that really showcases his talents as an artist. A really smooth and laid back beat, with a sick features from both Phil Ade and Young Scolla. This is actually a drop off his upcoming mixtape, A Boy Named Hue, which I had no idea was coming but now I'm really excited for it. Enjoy the new ish.

Wanna Be Loved - Scotty James ft. Yonas

I love this. Plain and simple. Now, to be honest, I really don't listen to the radio much anymore (who does?), but from what I gather, the original version of this is pretty big right now. But, when Yonas posted this earlier today, I had no idea about that, so I gave it a listen. In one word: Amazing. I can see why the original is big, and I can see this one being even bigger. This gem is actually only available for free download for 24 hours before it drops on iTunes, so cop it fast! Enjoy.

West Side Stories (Video) - Upper West

Still hot from the drop of their debut mixtape just one week ago, the boys from Upper West decide to release some visuals for the title track. A great video, shot + edited by the always dope Jon Kilmer, for an amazing track. Enjoy, and if you haven't yet, you should definitely go cop West Side Story.

Show Goes On Remix - PJ Simas

I love this. Some brand new PJ Simas to bless your eardrums. It's been a minute since I have posted any new ish from Mr. Simas, but I just couldn't pass this gem up. PJ takes on Lupe's Show Goes On, and let me tell you, it is probably one of my favorites from him in a while. This is not a track you will want to miss so enjoy it.
On a side note, I feel like I need to share this. I was listening to some PJ Simas tracks the other day, and my girlfriend pointed out to me that he seems to say "UNGH" at the beginning of all of his tracks. Now that she pointed that out, I can't help but notice it all the time now, and I figured I would share it with you as well. Enjoy.

Faded (Freestyle) - Jitta On The Track

New Jitta On The Track for your listening pleasure. With each new track I hear from him, the more I dig his sound. He's got that sound that is unique which, as you all probably know by know, I love. In case you've been sleeping on him, it's definitely time to wake up, because Jitta can spit with the best. Enjoy this tough new freestyle and be on the watch for more from Jitta On The Track.

Coasting - Rich Bros ft. Jade

Now this is hot. I would like to introduce you Rich Bros, a duo of, you guessed it, brothers based out of Victoria BC. When I saw that they produced this track themselves with instrumentals from Zion I, I felt like I needed to check it out. After pressing play, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Their flow is smooth, the beat is tight, and the hook is soulful. All the key ingredients to a great track right there. I really don't know a ton about these guys, just that they started into the music game just last year. Plus, they're fellow Canadians, so I have to show some love there. What I do know is that I will definitely be on the watch for more stuff from them, but for now, enjoy the new track from some great new artists.

Want It All - Over 21

It's been a minute since we've heard from Over 21 here on HotLeaks. Here is their latest track and let me say, it's a great one. They decided to slow it down a bit and give it a real smooth and mellow feel. A fantastic track with some great flow from Tha Future and B. Palma, paired up with a simple, but gorgeous beat. Enjoy this one.

Loud - Mac Miller

Some brand new Mac Miller for you. This is actually probably my favorite from Mac in a while, because in my opinion, he was seriously going down hill for a while there. I think he is was going through the same thing Wiz went through, with the whole "I'll drop whatever I want now that I'm famous and not actually care about the quality of my music".  Anyway, this is off his upcoming tape, Macadelic, which from the sounds of this one (and Jerry's Record Store) could actually be pretty good. Enjoy it.

Fuckin Numb - Johnny Astro

Since dropping his LightYears mixtape back in January, Johnny Astro has been laying kind of low. Here is his latest drop, and as always, it's pretty sick. This time the tempo is a bit more upbeat, but it's still dripping in that classic dope Johnny Astro sound. Enjoy it.

Visionz Of Home - J. Cole

The last couple days, I've been on a sort of hiatus from HotLeaks. Not on purpose, I swear. I just had a shit ton work that I had to get done. But I'm back, and I'm going to start you off with a brand new drop from J. Cole. From the sound of these last couple tracks, I think Cole is back on his grind, so I think we should get excited to hear more from him in the near future. Anyway, here's the latest and to be honest, I like it a lot more than his last one. Enjoy.

Vocal Layout Idea (Video) - Terence Ryan

One of my favorite tracks from Terence Ryan's latest project, Skeleton EP (which if you haven't checked out, you really should now), gets a great video to accompany it. A really well done video that is just enjoyable to watch. Enjoy this one, and if you haven't yet, you should probably go DL the EP.

West Side Stories (Mixtape) - Upper West

Wow. Just wow. Here we have Upper West's amazing debut mixtape. I have been a fan of these guys since back in May when they first dropped their track Ladida. Every track that they have ever dropped has been fantastic, and they all are in regular rotation on my iPod. They have such a great sound that to me, they have been around forever, and are essentially seasoned vets to the game. In actuality, West Side Stories is their debut mixtape, and what a way to debut. Overall, this tape is unreal. Filled with non stop great tracks that I guarantee you will have on repeat. I actually enjoyed this one so much that I really had trouble picking out a few to call my favorites. So here are a few tracks for you to enjoy before you download the whole tape. Enjoy.

Home - Upper West ft. Reef (Of Fortune Family), Gabriel Stark & Sarah Solovay

Ass Back Home (Timeflies Tuesday) - Timeflies

After a couple weeks on the road, Timeflies is finally getting their asses back home. To celebrate, they give us an amazing Timeflies Tuesday where they remix, you guessed it, Ass Back Home. Rob gives the track a refreshing twist and mix, and Cal spits perfectly over top. For the video, it's the normal shots of Cal freestyling (this time, on the tour bus), but they decided to slice in some shots from their shows, which is pretty dope. Anyway, I know you already pressed play, and probably didn't even read this far, so enjoy.

The Rhetorical Tradition (Mixtape) - Matt Easton

I love when this happens. Now, I have been a fan of Matt Easton for a long while now. I feel like I've said this a lot lately, but he was actually one of the first artists who I posted back when HotLeaks first started back in '10. I'm a huge fan of his sound, and I feel like every track that he's dropped has been really enjoyable to listen to. The first joint I heard was Live Life, and from that point on, I was a big fan. The only problem is that Matt always seems to fall just under my radar, which really sucks because he's such a great artist. What I am getting at in a really round about way is that I really had no idea that this mixtape was coming, so it was a pleasant surprise when I saw it earlier today. I just got a chance to sit down and give it a listen, and I was impressed. An all around really solid mixtape from Matt, that really showcases his maturity and growth as an artist. Below are a few of my fav, then you should definitely go download the whole tape. Enjoy it.

Comets - Marc Goone

My man Marc Goone is back with another unreal track. This is another drop off his upcoming tape Halfway To Nowhere, which is on track to be one of the tapes that I'm most excited for this year, so far. Comets is all about the daily grind of life, along with all it's up and it's downs. A great track from Goone that is clearly written with a lot of heart. Plus, this video is extremely well done and really captures the feel of the track, which as you all know, I love. Anyway, enjoy the new ish from Goone, and be on the watch for Halfway To Knowhere, coming soon.
