Lloyd Banks absolutely murdered 2016. The Queens MC dropped a fantastic mixtape, released countless loosie tracks and he even welcomed a daughter into the world. Congrats to that, and congrats to a great year! image via Neilson Barnard...
Yet another reason to love this artist. Such a fun track - good balance of pop, R&B and hip hop. Can you imagine if this was on American Boyfriend!? image via American Millennial ...
One of my favorite singers in music currently. The fact that he's working closely with No I.D. and Common only makes his future even brighter. Beautiful holiday music. Makes you feel great. Fav Tracks: Spiritual Gift, Body Heat, It Rains Everywhere, Christmas Lights image courtesy of...
Dope it's Dom! 15 song project from the L.A. hip hop artist, with 11 being solo cuts. Kennedy sounds in full control throughout the tape, plenty of great West Coast tracks to enjoy. Fav Tracks: California, 96 Chris, Johnny Bench, Since We're Telling the Truth,...
This came outta nowhere! And to think we were just playing his new video two days ago. Two features on this from MadeinTYO and Majid Jordan - not a bad little project overall. Probably my favorite singer on OVO. Fav Tracks: Magic, Four Seasons,...
NEW CHANCE THE RAPPER AND JEREMIH CHRISTMAS MIXTAPE!!! THANK YOU SANTA! Let us try our hardest to spread peace and positivity not only during this holiday season, but for all seasons to come. We have the power to change our surroundings, but first that change...
Oooooo I like this. The Awful Records singer already made me a fan earlier in the year with her PRINCESS EP, so this only solidifies her as a talent in the R&B/Hip Hop world. Unique voice/style. image via Tyler Mitchell ...
Off of Tip's Us or Else EP. Can't wait to hear his upcoming album The Dime Trap; he and K.R.I.T. are a perfect combo. image via T.I. & Grand Hustle ...
Banger from The Return of East Atlanta Santa gets some visuals. Bling, blaww, burr. image via Mr. Gucci Mane...
Not gonna lie, I only listened to this guy 'cause his name was Drayco. But, man am I glad I did. That beat is purely stupid. Fans of hard-hitting MCs like Xavier Wulf, Denzel Curry, Robb Bank$, ZeeloperZ and Lil Ugly Mane should peep this....
Holy mother of Based God this actually came out! Ladies, gentlemen and people everywhere - we have new Yasiin Bey and Ferrari Shepard (that's Mos Def for you if you're late to the party). Wish I had Tidal so I could hear the whole thing,...
Koala EP by L'Orange "Koala is a personal tribute to love and love lost - a fragile meditation on depression and passion. Solidarity in solitude, we are not alone," - wise words from the North Carolina beatsmith. When it's all said and done, I think L'Orange...
Atlanta rapper 'Cellus Hamilton' is back with a new single. Fun sound overall - reggae vibe on the production. image via Cellus Hamilton ...
Earlier this year, French producer 'Mil' released a collab project with Buffalo NY's 'Conway the Machine.' It was well-received, so Mil decided to stay close to the family. He's now set to drop an album with Conway's brother 'Westside Gunn' on February 10th. Guitar is...
Roy Woods is a singer signed to Drake's OVO imprint. He's been dropping some chill music for a while now, especially with this year's Waking at Dawn project. 'Go Go Go' is actually from 2015's Exis EP though, so this vid is somewhat late. Either...
Oh wow, sounds even better live! Still vibing hard off this track, Kirk is such a spectacular artist. Only time before he explodes. Check out more vids from 'Colors' - they're dope! image courtesy of Kirk Knight & Colors Berlin - Benny P...
Electric visuals. Song grows on me whenever I hear it, but after viewing this video it's solidified as a banger. Love seeing (mostly) the whole Mob in formation like this. If you flash back five years to their early success in 2011 and then compare...
French recruits the legendary DJ Clue on this remix, and also brings Jeezy and Ross through for some 16s. DJ Khaled briefly yells at one point. On a more important note - Jeezy slaughtered this. He's lowkey the king of remixes. Verbal murder....
Another vid from Always Strive and Prosper. Although I wasn't in love with that album, I can't deny it's impressive array of guests. Future, Chuck D, ScHoolboy Q, Missy Elliot, Big Sean, the A$AP Mob, Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign and Skrillex all are featured...
Not technically a truly fresh track, but you never say no to DOOM and Lib. Ever. Not a million years. I don't care if the Earth is on fire and the rocket train to Mars is leaving in two minutes and you're running late to...
