This is a very dope mixtape I saw over at KevinNottingham and had to post it. Here’s the word from Kevin Nottingham themselves: Trek Life and Oddisee continue to tease fans with another mixtape preceding the release of Trek Life’s sophomore album, Everything Changed Nothing. The mixtape, West Coast Beats, includes a concoction of snippets [...]
It should come as no surprise to anyone that we’re huge fans of Donald Glover. From 30 Rock to Community, he’s been killing the acting and stand up game. Many people don’t know about the music that he’s been hard at work for a long time. He album, Culdesac (free on the site) features some [...]
The Cool Kids have never been this on point. I’ve always been a fan, but this is leaps and bounds ahead of anything they’ve done up until this point. No longer do Chuck’s beats all blend together. He’s added a wide variety of new sounds and textures to flush out and diversify his repertoire, but [...]
Jamie XX, one third of London electronic outfit the XX, was commissioned to be a part of the tenth in Parisian fashion boutique Colette’s series of musical releases. The result was this hour long mix of dope electronic tunes and remixes. This is definitely an excellent selection and mix. It’s mellow and ambient, yet oddly [...]
Dirty South Dance, the original, was one of my most used party starters for about a year after it dropped. A-Trak’s imaginative blends of Dirty South hip hop and more standard hipster club-fare worked so well it was mind-baffling. So fast-forward three years and what you hear is an equally stellar repeat. Granted the music [...]
Here’s a fresh EP from one of the most passionate MCs I’ve ever met. Whether or not you agree that this is indeed the most epic EP, Nem Diddit and his skilled team of producers do. Personally, this isn’t the kind of music I tend to bump much these days… but after having met Nem, [...]
I’ve been holding off on the leaks with this one a bit, because I knew that Theophilus brings a full start-to-finish experience with each of his projects and I Want You is no different. I think I made the right decision… while every track is dope on its own, the flow and pacing of this [...]
Ok, I’ve had this EP for ages now (ever since it was originally scheduled to be released last year) and I’ve been very patiently waiting to share it with you. Well, I guess it was released just the other day, and I had no idea. Better late than never though, especially when it comes to [...]
Elp-Mass (aka TKnapp), the producing half of Indianapolis’ Mudkids just snuck out a free instrumental EP the other day. I always knew the man had talent behind the boards; he’s evidenced this time and time again on Mudkids records. But the instrumentals here feel more deeply personal; there’s equal parts epic swagger and gentle fragility. [...]
Twin Sister out of nowhere pops up on my radar screen and suddenly I have a new contender for album of the year; it’s absolutely amazing. Their sound is somewhere between Gorillaz and Beach House but drenched with echos of the aquatic and a dash of avant-garde. It’s somehow incredibly familiar, and yet so far [...]
