As promised last week, Ryan Hemsworth drops a free EP just in time for Memorial Day weekend. This guy was killing it all over SXSW in March and it’s safe to say that this 22-year-old is on track to become a household name. I expect to have this one in rotation for the summer, and [...]
Ant and Slug are back again with a visual off 2011′s critically acclaimed “The Family Sign”. This one features two muses following the same skateboarders as they go about their typical day with some suggestive NSFW material, though there is no nudity. This is more than likely to promote the upcoming Soundset Festival which is [...]
“Horizon” was a bonus track that the robots intended to let the Japanese have to themselves, but thanks to the World Wide Internet it is available for everyone to enjoy! Kind of wish they would’ve let this on the actual album somewhere because it would have been a great fit. Though there are no vocoders [...]
Let’s face it, the rap world is filled with tons of terrible musicians so expectations are pretty low when I hit the ‘play’ button on an unfamiliar artist’s SoundCloud. With “Finally”, the beat pleasantly caught my ear by surprise then when the Grand Rapids native started rapping it almost immediately became apparent that this kid [...]
Umphrey’s is very, very good at what they do and anyone who has the slightest interest of working in the music industry should take notes on their ‘listen-to-your-fans’ business model. They have been slowly teasing their upcoming live release “Live at the Tabernacle”, which was filmed at the venue in Atlanta during their four-night New [...]
JMSN brought the full band to the Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles for an intimate session, and recorded that for iTunes which can be streamed below. Very cool to hear some of his studio work off †Priscilla† in a live setting, and it’s only growing my anticipation to see him perform these tracks with [...]
While Big Baby Gandhi quit rapping almost a year ago to pursue his pharmaceutical career, the fans were promised by Greedhead that material from him would still surface. Sticking to their word, the label released “America Eats Its Babies”, a collaboration EP with Yuri Beats. I was never really into BBG even when his rap [...]
The slightly intoxicated trio stopped by Statik Selektah’s radio show last week to freestyle some bars over a familiar A$AP Rocky beat. Chance gets my vote for the best verse out of the three, but that’s not to say the other two didn’t kill it too. Check it above and let us know who gets your [...]
The annual “Rock The Bells” festival will be taking over four cities this summer and boasts a stacked lineup with plenty of choices for the hip-hop heads. Plus, those in attendance will be treated to hologram performances from ODB and Eazy-E. That being said, it’s only a matter of time before “Virtual Performers” start selling [...]
Gotta admit, the original “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” track has been non existent for me ever since the remix with Jay-Z came out. Today, we get the visuals for the good kid, m.A.A.d city track with cameos from Naptown’s own Mike Epps and Kendrick’s new Dre Pill. Sup Jamarcus? Be sure to catch K [...]
In honor of the NBA I asked the MJF crew to list a favorite song from a current/former basketball player, or something in relation to the sport. The results are below! Bauce Sauce Follow @BauceSauce Shaquille O’Neal – “You Can’t Stop The Reign” ft Notorious Big Basketball players rapping are often terrible. The best they [...]
For those looking for some new instrumental music to vibe to, we present the debut album from Digital Tape Machine. DTM is a side project consisting of members from Umphrey’s McGee and Strange Arrangement (along with some other Chicago acts) – and this Kickstarter funded project provides the perfect soundtrack for anything. Whether you’re working, [...]
