J. ManifestO - She Don't Know (ft. A. Will)


This submission comes just in time for Valentine's Day. J. ManifestO, the emcee hailing from Queens, hit us with the first cut off his upcoming mixtape, DOTCOM. The production features this odd echo sound, that I actually liked a lot, the chopped slow tempo flow over it really made the song have a different feel to a common theme. 

Murs x Fashawn – 64’ Impala (Music Video)


It's Murs and Fashawn, so of course this is gonna be dope...I don't need to say more.


JohnNY U. - Lost in the Shuffle (Music Video)


JohnNY U. has been busy as of late, and I'm not complaining at all. Part of his weekly #HeresJohnNY series, that will continue up until the release of his EP, Higher.Intelligence.Giving.Hints. As always, peep the video above, and be on the look out next week for the next installment.

Lightfoot - Slow Walk (Music Video)

Lets stray away from the usual for a bit, this is so dope and trippy (and the visuals aren't bad either, see what I did there). Lightfoot does a great job at combining elecrtonic sounds with a under Hip-Hop tone. Peep the video above, and definitely look into the full album.

GLC ft. Really Doe and JNan (VIDEO)



 I've come to the realization that a chill beat with GLC on the mic is bound to be a good listen. For his track "Everything" off his mixtape, Silence of The Lames, he recruits JNan and former G.O.O.D. music representer Really Doe. There's a very thin line when it comes to songs about struggle and these three have no reason to worry about being on the negative side of said line. Their bars sound genuine which always makes for a phenomenal piece. Also, be on the lookout for GLC's new mixtape, Pulpit, dropping in April and his LP, Book of Ism's, which is set to be released this spring. Peace, love, and respect.

Remy Banks - GLDCHN (ft. Bodega Bamz)



  World's Fair's Remy Banks, and Tan Boys' Bodega Bamz join forces to form Tan Fair. Any track from either artist receives an immediate download from me, and the fact that these two teamed up is of no surprise. Banks and Bamz are two completely different spitters, but somehow their styles seem to compliment each other in the best way possible. This track also shows the versatility and range of the new New York Beast Coast movement. I know you fellow hip hop addicts are always looking for the next "score" so go ahead cop the dope shit below and be on the look out for the GLDCHN video tommorow. Peace, love, and respect.

Basquiat at The Gagosian Gallery


Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Swizz Beatz...Just a crop of Hip-Hop artist that featured songs with a shout out to the late great Jean-Michel Basquiat. Started as a graffiti artist under the pseudonym "SAMO" standing for "Same Old Shit", who went on to be one of the most influential artist of the 80's up until his early departure at the age of 27. The Gagosian Gallery in New York will feature a slew of his art work from February 7th, up until April 6th. If you have even the slightest of time, I highly recommend you check it out.

Rich Hil - SYLDD (Review)


I first heard Ricky on one of his dozens of early Kid Cudi collaborations. A few fallouts, rehab trips, and label drops, and here we have his long awaited abum, Support Your Local Drug Dealer. 

Kid Tsunami - Bang Exclusive (ft. Sean Price)

This is my first time listening to any work by Kid Tsunami, and I gotta say the production is tight. He enlists the Brooklyn veteran, Sean Price, to lace his first single off his upcoming album, The Chase. Peep the video above, and look for the album featuring the likes of Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, and other legends, releasing the first of next month.
