Lullabies (Adventure Club Remix) - Yuna
I love it when Adventure Club puts together remixes like this. They manage to blend their signature sound with Yuna's original soft melodies absolutely perfectly. A fantastic track that you will not want to miss. Enjoy.

Drop Out - DJ Trademark
Monday night rager? I think so! Drop Out is our last taste of Trademark's upcoming project, Diamond In The Rough, until it finally drops later this week, and let me tell you: it's one hell of a taste. Kryder x Eva Simons x Dada Life x Dirty South. I'm pumped from this EP.
Clarity (Remix) - Huey Mack
I am honestly impressed. Huey Mack has put together a gorgeous remix to Zedd's Clarity (actually cosigned by Zedd himself) that I just can't stop listening to. If this one, as well as his previous remix of SHM's Don't You Worry Child, are any indication where Huey is going with his sound, I'm excited. Enjoy this one.
Concrete - Logic
Nas' New York State of Mind Pt. 2 is a huge beat for Logic to try and flex on, but he manages to to not only hold his own, but actually make the beat his own. Yes, I know that's a big claim, but Young Sinatra just flows so well over beats like this. Anyway, don't miss out on this one.
Take For Granted (Video) - Marc Goone
Marc Goone just keeps getting better. Each new track is a new opportunity from him to show off his skills and artistry, and he manages to kill it every time. Now, I feel like I talk up these releases from Marc a lot, and although they deserve the hype, I'm just gonna let the track speak for itself. Enjoy.
I'll Drink To That - Outasight
It's not secret that Outasight is big time now. Since signing to WB, you can see his name all over the place. But I will say that I kind of lost a little interest in the guy. He still was releasing good music, but it just started to all sound the same to me. That being said, I'll Drink To That is the first track of his in a while that sounds really fresh while still maintaining that classic Outasight sound. Anyway, enjoy this one.
Good Reasons (Video) - Sam Lachow & Raz
5 Good Reasons, the fantastic EP from Sam Lachow & Raz, is still on constant rotation on my iPod, and that actually says a lot about how great it is. Being the world class blogger that I am, I'm constantly downloading new music, so it's honestly a rare occurrence that an entire EP will be played as frequently as I play 5 Good Reasons. Anyway, Good Reasons is the 4th track off their EP to get the visual treatment, so enjoy, and if you haven't you need to download 5 Good Reasons.
Don't Wake The Neighbors - Truth Himself
Since releasing his mixtape, On To The Real World, back in May, Truth Himself has been kind of laying low. He's clearly been honing his skills on the mic, because this track is just fantastic. Not that his previous stuff was bad, because it was actually really good, it's just that his flow has become more refined and smooth, which is great. A fantastic track that has definitely got me excited for Truth's next project. Enjoy.
Lines - Big Boi ft. A$AP Rocky & Phantogram
Big Boi let this joint drop over the weekend and I just finally got a chance to check it out. Now that I've given it a listen, I'm hooked. It's got a haunting indie/electro beat and hook from Phantogram, and both Big Boi and Rocky's flows manage to blend perfectly with the entire feel of the track. Lines is off Big Boi's upcoming project, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, which is dropping December 11th. Enjoy.

Heavy (Mixtape) - CJ Trillo
Now this is a fantastic project. I have been waiting anxiously for CJ Trillo to release this one, and let me tell you, it was worth every second that I waited. Heavy is an amazing mixtape that is just filled with great tracks, all of which have gorgeous lyrical content and just superb production. I remember when I first heard CJ (back when he was Sucka Free CJ) over 2 years ago through Olu, and I said then that he had a lot of potential. Since then, his lyrical ability has just blossomed, and his sound has really matured into something great. That being said, it was actually pretty hard to choose which tracks I wanted to post here, because Heavy is one of those mixtapes where every single track is fantastic. Anyway, I'll stop talking about it and just let you listen for yourself. Enjoy.

Last Hope (Remix) - Mayo
Mayo just keeps getting better and better. This time he jumps on Drizzy's beat, and he actually manages to hold his own. He's got great heartfelt lyricism, and some real smooth flow. Enjoy this one.
I Knew You Were Trouble (Remix) - Taylor Swift ft. Sammy Adams
I would have NEVER guess that this would happen. Sammy Adams jumped in and did a reworking of what seems like everyone's favorite track right now, Taylor Swift's I Knew You Were Trouble. He mixed the beat and then added his own verse, and it actually turned out pretty good. Check it out.
Bittersweet (Prod. by Skrillex) - Ellie Goulding
Kind of an appropriate title for this one. A breakup, but a really great track. I will say that I am kind of glad that Skrillex and my girl Ellie Goulding split, because maybe I have a chance with her now. Anyway, enjoy this one.
Sign Language (Video) - Kinetics & One Love ft. Wynter Gordon
Wow. Just plain wow. I've been waiting a long time for this one. This is actually the very first song by Kinetics & One Love that I ever heard, and listening to it then gave me chills, so I became a huge fan. I still listen to this track today, and it STILL gives me chills every time I hear it. You honestly should know this song by now but if not, it's a gorgeous yet tragic story about love that is left unexpressed. A truly amazing song by truly amazing artists. That all being said, when I saw the teaser that these guys dropped a couple day ago, I got a little worried. With such a song that's driven by a heartfelt story like this, it needs a video that tells that story. The teaser didn't seem to allude to any "story", so like I said, I was worried. When the video was finally released, I realized that all of my fears were extremely misplaced. K&OL came through with a spectacular visual treatment to accompany this truly amazing song. Anyway, enough of me talking, enjoy the video.
