“The Recipe” has me crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes with the hope that Dre’s Detox is not a myth, but actually on its way. Kendrick Lamar is obviously talented with lyrical content and creativity that challenges most established artists in the game, but I am most pleasantly surprised by Dr. Dre’s evolution and how [...]

Every now and again I have these intense cravings for random things. Yesterday, I craved Chipotle and Frank Ocean’s “novacane.” While I ate my chicken burrito, I put “novacane” on repeat and was instantly brought back to the first time I listened to Nostalgia/ultra and discovered the dopeness that is Frank Ocean. After that first [...]

Today, J. Cole and Missy Elliott dropped the long awaited video for “Nobody’s Perfect.” The song is a personal favorite from Cole’s freshman album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, for Cole’s rhythmic flow and production reminiscent of late 90’s hip-hop and R&B. The video has traces of Missy’s eccentricity, but still incorporates elements of Cole’s [...]

Yasiin Bey, formerly addressed as Mos Def, has hit us with a new anthem for the 99% entitled “N****s in Poorest.” While the rest of us are still bobbin our heads to Jay-Z and Kanye’s “N****s in Paris,” while pretending we do not have bills and student loans, Yasiin Bey brings us back to earth.

The new video from Schoolboy Q has everything I love, Hennessy, 40s, backwood blunts, swishers, hot chicks and fucking cats. The song is somehow even better than the mesmerizing video, I’m at work weighing out chicken and going “y-y-y-ye-yeah” when anyone asks me a question. This song serves as the sequel to my favorite jammy [...]

Stumbling across new music has got to be one of my favorite usages of the internet (the others are different forms of um.. entertainment) so I was pleasantly surprised last year when I came across Robel’s music. It was intriguing with Atlanta’s well known influence on bass heavy hip-hop, to find a producer who’s style [...]

Finding happiness amidst chaos and uncertainty is no easy task, especially when life seems like a vicious elementary school bully- set on keeping you down. Still, even in life’s darkest moments, the sun is shining somewhere. “Blessed,” a standout track featuring Kendrick Lamar from Schoolboy Q’s Habits and Contradictions album, is centered on this very [...]

In the hip-hop community, a musical genre heavily dominated by black artists, very few white rappers are taken seriously. Every now and again, rappers with skills like Eminem force the world to give them the respect they deserve. Still, for every Marshall Mathers, there are at least five Vanilla Ice wannabes, and the ratio of [...]

Once you hear her unique, hoarse voice, it’s understandable why so many Lana Del Rey remixes are invading music blogs, and electronic music producers are growing obsessed with the young Internet star. Clams Casino is no exception to this phenomenon. Some bloggers have called his remix of “Born to Die” creepy, I find it rather [...]

Today I give you an out of control banger, as aggressive as a grizzly mother protecting her cub. Produced by up and coming producer Graphics, “Mamma Grizzlies” will drop on the artist’s fifth release via Made To Play, on January 23rd. The track was remixed by none other than Roska, who integrated his signature heavy [...]

No matter how odd his stage name is, discovering this guy on music blogs has undoubtedly been the highlight of my day. It is now your turn to play San Francisco-based producer Giraffage's "With You", a track that will transport you into an outdoorsy, magical atmosphere intensified with a heavy bassline and female vocal clips.

Hear this dreamy remix of Pictureplane's "Real Is a Feeling" by a pretty Canadian girl who produces beats and is known as Grimes (pictured above). The original track is part of Pictureplane's "Thee Physical", and Grimes' rework appears in the remix album, titled "The 7th Dimensional Rip". In the artists' words: "each Dimensional Rip is [...]

Alec Storey, who goes by the name Al Tourettes, is a self described “Techno / Electro / Funk / House / Bass / Electronica : )” producer. His music has that one of a kind, hands on, acid bass feel to it. Boiler Room featured one of his latest tracks yesterday. Stream it here: Al [...]

I saw this guy with Braile the night after New Years in NYC. The duo goes by the name “Sepalcure,” but when he’s buy himself he calls himself “MachineDrum”. Now if you haven’t heard his last album entitled Rooms, then you are missing out. This guy is super talented. His new EP is coming out [...]

Holy moly do I love this song, I heard it on KCRW (Santa Monica City College Public Radio) when I was still in LA and from the first time I heard it, it was stuck in my head. The smashing-ass beat will haunt me for the rest of my days as well as the neo-Morrisey [...]

Rarely do I get to enjoy the music from an adult swim bump after it ends other than when they play a J Dilla beat or something Brainfeeder/Flying Lotus, but thanks to my iPhone and sound hound I was able to decipher this song. I thought it was just some weird Indian music because of [...]
