OshFest - Mike Posner ft. Blackbear

I feel like HotLeaks is just turning into the Mike Posner show. It seems that every couple days Posner drops a new track, but like I said before, every single one of them is gold, so I'm not complaining. Check it below.

Crew Cuts (Mixtape) - Hoodie Allen

Even though its been almost a year since its release, Hoodie Allen is still riding high off his iTunes No.1 hit album, All American. There are more than a few tracks off of it that are still on constant repeat on my iPod, and that's saying something, because as much as I hate to admit it, since I'm constantly bombarded with new music because of HotLeaks, it's not very often songs manage to maintain their longevity with me. Anyway, enough about me. This is about Hoodie and his fantastic new album Crew Cuts. Tons of great new tracks with smooth flow and vocals that you can't help but enjoy. Plus the features on this one are just too good. Jared Evan, Chiddy, Shwayze, Chance The Rapper, Skizzy Mars, Moosh & Twist, and even G-Eazy. This is not a mixtape you'll want to miss. Enjoy.

Blessings To My Enemies (Video) - JayR


I've posted a couple of JayR's tracks in the past, but in case you don't recognize the name, he's an up an comer out of CT, and he's actually part of Jitta's Lumberlife crew. Blessings To My Enemies is a sick new track off his upcoming mixtape, The 5AM Journey, where he just tears apart the competition in the game right now, and unlike some artists who do the same thing, he actually manages to back up his lyrics with his tight flow. Check this one out for sure. Blessings To My Enemies (Video) - JayR

Translations Through Speakers (Album) - Jon Bellion

The wait it over. Translations Through Speakers, the debut album from Jon Bellion, is finally here, and it's nothing short of fantastic. I was first turned onto Jon back in January with his track Dead Man Walking, and ever since then, I've found myself anxiously waiting for anything new. Well the day has arrived, and here's the absolutely fantastic, completely original project from Jon Bellion. Seriously, every single track on this one is pure gold, so don't let yourself miss out on it. Enjoy.

All Alright - OCD: Moosh & Twist


Here's the latest drop from Moosh & Twist to get us excited for their upcoming project, Back To The Basement. The boys decided to show their versatility with this track, as they seem to sing more than they spit, which is actually pretty great. That being said, it's no secret that I loved their last track This High, so this one, in my opinion, isn't quite as good. Anyway, check out the track above, and be on the lookout for Back To The Basement, dropping March 12th. All Alright - OCD: Moosh & Twist

Are We Almost There Yet? - Jared Evan

It's been a long while since Jared Evan has dropped any new original material (his newest before this was a remix to Charlie Brown released back in October), so to hear this first drop off his upcoming project, Boom Bap & Blues, is pretty exciting. Now, I don't want to say that this is a bad track, because it's really not, it's just not as good as I had hoped it would be. That being said, his last project (The 4th Chapter) is still on constant rotation on my iPod, so my expectations may have been a little high. Anyway, this is still a great track, so don't miss out, and be on the lookout for Boom Bap & Blues, dropping on the 26th.

Dickhead (Video) - Mike Stud x Huey Mack


Number one: I love this sample. Number two: Stud and Mack actually kill this track. Easily one of the better tracks I've heard from either one of these guys lately. Don't miss out on it. Dickhead (Video) - Mike Stud x Huey Mack

Old Boy Jon (Mixtape) - Dumbfoundead

The day has finally arrived. Old Boy Jon, the new FREE mixtape from DFD, has finally been released. Overall, this is a pretty solid tape, filled with everything from chilled out joints to quick flow-heavy tracks. If you didn't know him before, now is definitely the time to get familiar with DFD, because he just keeps getting better and better with each new release. Don't miss out.

Fame Is For Assholes (Video) - Hoodie Allen ft. Chiddy


Who doesn't love new Hoodie Allen? Especially when it has a sick feature from Chiddy. This is the second cut off his upcoming FREE album, Crew Cuts, which is dropping on the 20th. If you weren't excited before (which I don't know why you wouldn't be), you definitely will be now. Enjoy. Fame Is For Assholes (Video) - Hoodie Allen ft. Chiddy

New Day - Hendersin

It's been just over a month since Hendersin has dropped a new track, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been working hard. He's actually been on his grind working on his upcoming project, Henny In Ya System, which from the sound of all these tracks, is going to be great. New Day is a bit slower than what you might be used to hearing from Hendersin, but it actually turned out really good. Check it out below.

Say Yes (Big Red Remix) - Radical Something


Say Yes was easily one of my favorite summer jams from Radical Something, so when I saw that Big Red had jumped in on his own track and given it a fresh face lift, I just had to check it out. He takes the already fantastic track and twists it up with a sick electro dub beat, and manages to slow it down a bit, but makes it hit even harder. I am definitely a fan of this one. Check it out.

Everyday Life - XV

Vizzy decided to drop a fantastic new track in celebration of The Awesome Sound's birthday today. Someone else's birthday and WE get a present? I'm not complaining. This is actually probably the smoothest track I've heard from XV in a while, and it reminds me a bit of Zero Heroes, which gets me pretty excited for his upcoming project. Anyway, check out the new track below.

24KTOWN (Video) - Dumbfoundead


Dumbfoundead has to be one of the most under rated artists in the game right now. His flow is just plain awesome, and his lyrical ability is always fantastic. Anyway, this is the latest drop off his upcoming project Old Boy Jon, which is on track to be a great one, so be on the look out for it February 18th. Enjoy. 24KTOWN (Video) - Dumbfoundead

We Up - 50 Cent ft. Kendrick Lamar & Kidd Kidd

After hearing the preview a couple of weeks back, 50 finally drops the full version of the latest single off his upcoming album, Street King Immortal. The 'preview' was just over 2 minutes long (in case you missed it), so it's not like this one is a huge surprise, but it's great to hear it in full regardless. Enjoy.

Domo 23 (Video) - Tyler, The Creator


I've said in the past the Tyler, The Creator's 5 minutes were up, so yes, now I'm officially a huge hypocrite. But you know what, I'm not even ashamed because I really was tired of him. That being said, I kept seeing people post this video, so I figured I would indulge and actually give it a listen despite my preconceptions. I'm actually glad I did, because this track is actually pretty dope. Tyler's rhymes sound like they have matured, which is really impressive. Check it out above. Domo 23 (Video) - Tyler, The Creator
