Ghostemane - Kali Yuga (Video)

No Comments »


Last week Adult Swim announced their latest single series, which will entail a new single each week for 52 weeks. That is a copious amount of new music so hat tip to them. One of their first releases and most entertaining yet is Ghostemane and Clams Casino's collaboration entitled "Kali Yuga." The sporadic raps of Ghoste and the dreary production of Clams work perfectly. The interesting record got an equally interesting visual, which might just be the strangest cooking tutorial I have seen yet and I've seen some strange things on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. In the wise words of Guy Fieri this video is "out of bounds!"

Lordskillz - Nawty

No Comments »



The good people over at Pigeons and Planes recently released a new record from Lordskillz. The self-produced offering is here right in time to kick off the summer. The bouncy production will be played at barbecues throughout the greatest season of the year. Lordskillz effortlessly flows while boasting of having the drugs to make her "nawty." One memorable line comes in the form of the punny, "make her cum again like, beg your pardon?"

Five Dope Songs That You've Never Heard

No Comments »


With music being so readily available thanks to the Internet it can be a pain at times to sift through the infinite world that is Soundcloud. For us avid music fans it can be a full-time job. I decided to make it easy on you and provide five records I am confident you have yet to hear and that I enjoy listening to. The records are by fairly obscure artists that I randomly stumbled across on Soundcloud. No real method to the madness just simply sifting through "Related Tracks" until finding something that caught my attention and was elevated to the lofty heights of my "Likes" section. 

"drake flow." by whereisalex


The record begins with a chopped version of Drake's verse from Big Sean's "Blessings" and an innocent minimalistic production that leaves us wanting more. The beauty of the minimal strings combined with an upbeat drumbeat propels us to the grand finale, which is a synth-laden drop that was certainly worth the wait. Unlike Drake, whereisalex does not apologize for the wait and delivers with an instrumental masterpiece to close out the record. The genius of this is taking something familiar and completely flipping it on its head. I can't say I was much of a fan of Drake's verse on "Blessings" but alex chops it up and makes it flawless with his production.

Madeintyo - Uber Everywhere (Swell Remix)

Uber may be the most relevant and convenient forms of transportation in the history of man. In minutes you can have a personal driver arrive to your location. Madeintyo loves the service so much he decided to pay homage with his appropriately titled "Uber Everywhere," which includes the brilliant adlib "skrt skrt." 17-year-old Aussie native Swell has crafted an incredible remix of the infectious original. He completely flips the track on its head with a dance friendly rework full of funky electronic drumbeats, smooth synths and an overall wavy feel. It is impressive that one artist can create a record that feels as if it were produced by an orchestra of electronic instruments.

Olde - Dirty Money 3

This has been my favorite song since randomly coming across it several months ago. I do not recall how or when exactly I found this gold, but I sure am glad I did. I know next to nothing about the artist and that adds to the allure. All I know is that it was crafted by an artist who goes by the name Olde and he represents Vancouver. The production is absolutely filthy and perfectly complements the haunting vocals. I would venture to say I singlehandedly account for half the plays as I can't get enough. The slow ominous production eventually builds to a bass-laden screwed up piece that makes you want to get out and "hit a lick" as the youths say. 

internetuser - 2016 wow sometimes i make shitty beats but other times i make beats like this


This just may be my favorite piece of music in the year 2016. It's simply incredible and can be left on replay for hours. If the Louvre accepted Soundcloud submissions this would be encased next to the Mona Lisa and play on replay for all of humanity to hear. I can't say enough about how brilliant this is. One of my favorite Future vocals has been perfectly chopped and encompassed with an atmospheric backdrop, which feels like something from a futuristic Zelda soundtrack. 

yaint - HOT // SPICY CHEX MIX
Crafting a mashup may be one of the more difficult pieces for a producer. Selecting a backdrop that works to complement a verse that is set to a completely different production is quite a difficult feat. Up-and-coming producer yaint does just that with his "HOT//SPICY CHEX MIX."He effortlessly takes four different vocal samples and flips them on their head. My favorite being the opening offering in which he mixes Future's verse from "Move That Dope" with a jazzy sax-laden production that creates a cohesive record that I would have never expected working so well. I want to say the backdrop is from Big Gigantic but don't quote me on that. Whatever it is you know yaint has a great ear and masterfully mixes these records together leaving us wanting more.

Bad and Blue ft. Bay Li - Sea Salt

No Comments »


Introducing Bad and Blue. The up-and-coming band is a nine member ensemble which began at Tufts University. The collective has members hailing from Chicago, Boston, New York and New England. Their music is as eclectic as one would expect with nine different members contributing. Their debut self-titled album quickly garnered a following and was a bestseller in Jazz on Bandcamp alongside BadBadNotGood and Snarky Puppy. One record that stood out most was their latest single "Sea Salt" featuring Bay Li. The Latin inspired instrumentation works perfectly with the crooning vocals and smooth style of MC, Cam Flowers. 

EndyEnds - Froze

Winter is coming and everything will be "Froze." Virginia upstart Endy gets a head start on his latest offering. He brags his wrist and his teeth are both froze as he effortlessly flows throughout the Nedarb produced record. This is incredibly catchy and serves as a good introduction if you still are unfamiliar with the multi-talented youngster. I have watched Endy quickly evolve from a producer who occasionally rapped to a creative and unique well rounded artist. He has garnered a dedicated fan base and looks to be the next artist out of the DMV to gain some national recognition. 

Rashad Stark ft. Key! & Kasey Jones - Who Dis?

Rashad Stark is acting brand new on his latest release "Who Dis?" He likely won't be answering your calls anytime soon as he preps to drop a new project entitled The Most Lit, so don't bother calling or hitting the DM. Stark has a new phone, a new bitch, and a braggadocios feature from Atlanta's Key! to add to his flexing. He also brings along fellow DMV native Kasey Jones to round out the lineup on the catchy new self-produced offering.

K.A.A.N. - Phoenix (Video)

Ever since hearing K.A.A.N., which stands for Knowledge, I have been thoroughly impressed. The 24-year-old Maryland upstart can do no wrong as of late as he continues to display his lyrical prowess and effortless flow. His latest release comes in the form of a visual for "Phoenix" off his project Eclectic Audio. K.A.A.N. flows over the atmospheric stylings of producer ORBT and the result is a cohesive piece. We a drawn in by the hypnotic production and stay for the rap clinic that he puts on.

Bishop - Wild Horses

There is a treasure trove of music out there on the web that is just waiting to be uncovered. The Internet has given rise to a generation of DIY up-and-comers unleashing a plethora of quality music. I recently discovered Los Angeles based crooner Bishop. Her latest release "Wild Horses" is a certified hit! She draws you in with her hypnotic vocals similarly to a siren guiding a weary traveler when all of a sudden you are hit over the head with a bass-laden dance-friendly rift that is mind blowing. Keep an eye on Bishop as she is certainly a talent that will only continue to gain notoriety.
