Ace Hood - Fear (Music Video)

Ace Hood is supremely underrated, and no one can tell me otherwise. Starvation III, out now.

Skyblew x SublimeCloud (The Digi Destined) - Episode 1: Clouded Dreams & Beautiful Memories (Album)

Skyblew is at it again with another Nerdcore project, although boxing him into that category is a great disservice, as he's one of my favorite new artists that makes truly uplifting music. Mr. Blew's style, as far as I've listened to him, has been a mixture of layed-back, "Jet Life" style production and sensibilities, mixed with contemplative and introspective lyrics. Although at times Skyblew might tackle darker issues, he never lets the darkness overtake or dictate the music, which can be taken as a musical decision that also doubles as an analogy to his overall message. This time around, he's partnered with like-minded producer SublimeCloud on a full-length album. SublimeCloud has been keeping busy as of late as well, releasing a beat tape compiling instrumentals he's released over the last year (most or all of them sampling different anime and videogame theme songs), and gearing up for a new EP entitled Homegrown Vol. 1: Endless Journey. Personally, I was already super-excited to get another Skyblew project after his excellent debut album, which I can't praise enough, and the Digimon reference was just the icing on the cake.

Curren$y - The Drive In Theatre (Mixtape)

One of the Top 3 most consistently generous rappers (The other 2 being Lil B & Charles Hamilton) keeps the musical donations coming with his latest free mixtape, The Drive In Theatre. Expect more of the same layed-back, lifestyle raps we've come to love from Spitta. DOWNLOAD HERE.

Bones - Calcium (Music Video)

Bones just dropped his new video for the KID HNRK-produced Calcium, off of his recently released DEADBOY project. Surprisingly, he didn't use an old camcorder for this one, and opts for what looks like a DSLR camera. If you haven't already, check out our interview with Bones here

Vado - Sinatra (EP)

V12's new 8-track project shows the rapper channeling the late great Frank. DOWNLOAD HERE

Nino Bless - R.O.A.M. 3 (Audio Trip) (Album)

Nino's album, which is the first part of the 3rd installment of the R.O.A.M. Series (Which is itself started as a part of the Latin Marksman Series) just dropped. Bless never dissapoints with the R.O.A.M. series, and although this project is technically an album, I think this cements the series into the mixtape series hall of fame, along with other classics series' like Top 5 And Better and Mood Muzik.
