Seems like we post one of these a week. The kid Ryan Hemsworth certainly has good taste in music (for a Canadian guy). The mix starts with an original remix of R. Kelly’s “Real Talk” (MILTON!) and keeps it moving with a slew of choice cuts spanning The Knife, Mya, Shlohmo, Dem Franchise Boyz and [...]
In keeping with his “No Days Off” mantra Wale decides to release two different videos off his “Folarin” mixtape. One is for an album cut “The Show” featuring label honcho Rick Ross and Aaron Weiss, and the other video is for current single “Bad” featuring female crooner Tiara Thomas. Still waiting for a video for [...]
One of the standout tracks from the surprisingly dope “Mac & Cheese 3″ mixtape gets the video treatment as French Montana and Tyga perform their verses seemingly in a rainforest. There’s something kinda discomforting about seeing hot girls with machetes but that’s neither here nor there. DJ Mustard continues with his hot streak as he [...]
I’m not a fan of producer drops. If I think your beat is hot, I will do the work and dig to find out who made it. However, a wave of comfort and excitement washes over me once I hear that “La música de Harry Fraud” drop, a veritable stamp of quality that guarantees you [...]
We introduced you to NYC newcomer Bishop Nehru and his track “Misruled Order” last week. Today he dropped his debut project Nehruvia through DJ Booth. 13 original tracks from the 16 year old emcee, over beats from DJ Premier, Ghost McGrady, J. Dilla, Madlib, MF DOOM & more. This is only the begining for Bishop [...]
Hailing from West Covina, CA, Hawdwerk has been putting in work for quite some time on the underground circuit. Ever since listening to his collaborative album with Jansport J “High Power Moves” I’ve been a fan and I have been following his moves. Hawdwerk has released his latest project “The Graveyard Shift” and it feels [...]
“I used to fight for understanding, wasted energy, just kill me / so before you motherfuckers understand me, just feel me.” -Ryshon Jones You can’t help but feel Philadelphia emcee, Ryshon Jones, on his 15-track opus, In Theory. With each track offering genuine, introspective lyrics and top-notch production that compliments his flow, it’s pretty easy [...]
When AraabMUZIK’s Electronic Dream was released two years ago, it displayed an amount of range that took many by surprise. Known for producing and making a name off of sporadic Dipset records, Abraham Ornello crafted his skills on the MPC and drums with break-neck precision. The Rhode Island native wasted no time in breaking out [...]
So I’m slowly making my way through all the films in the major 2012 awards circuits, because I didn’t have enough time to do so in 2012. And I was lucky enough to come across SXSW gem Funeral Kings on iTunes today — such an awesome watch, so unabashedly confident in itself. The film was [...]
Chopstars member and OVO affiliate DJ Slim K releases his latest mix project. With songs from Kriss Kross to Notorious B.I.G. and everything inbetween, this mix is sure to have something for everyone that loves to hear their music slow, loud and banging. I like mixes that mix current and classic joints, and I’m sure [...]
New catalog, gon’ hurt you/Going in this dark like it’s curfew Often, rap is not kind to those artists looking to reincarnate and turn their career around. For every 2 Chainz that has resurfaced and breathed second wind into their career, there’s a Consequence that continues to plummet with every Love and Hip-Hop: New York [...]
Told y’all Bill Ding is next up. Did you think I was kidding? Here is further proof. Steel Tipped Dove handles the menacing production while Bill Ding spits gritty, drug-addled toughness. George Clooney shooting up heroin type shit, ya know? Structure 5 The Youth (a follow-up to their collab mixtape Structure 4 The Youth) and [...]
