Hard Mix - I've Got Them




21 year old Noah Smith will keep you hypnotized with "I've Got Them," heavy with the vocal samples and numerous electronic sounds. Anything and everything seems to be making a little noise here but the track is so well balanced and ambitious that it keeps your attention. Dude's already been commissioned to create a mix for SiriusXM Chill, from which this track was first featured.

Troy NōKA ft. T. Coles - Right Now




Out of Los Angeles, producer/songwriter Antwoine Collins was the brains behind three tracks off Frank Ocean's Nostalgia, Ultra (Dust, There Will Be Tears, & Love Crimes). "Right Now" is the very first song created by his solo project as Troy NōKA. It can be found on Free Dreaming slated for a release sometime in March. 808 heavy and a lot to look forward to if you ask me. Proclaimed as a one man band by many.

Kid Cudi - Teleport 2 Me, Jamie



New Single featured on Cudi and Dot Da Genius' collaborative album titled WZRD coming February 28th. Classic Mescudi with the spacey, up in the air catchy melodies that always seem to get stuck in our heads. Samples Desire's "Under Your Spell" from the Drive Soundtrack. He might honestly be on some other shit, but it works. And anything affiliated with Drive, is well....cool.

After The Smoke - OIAM



I tried to get benjamin to plug this track by Once In A Million, but he found it so daps to that wizza.  Otherwise, if you fuck with Yelawolf you might recognize this beat from the track below.  The beat is on some coo... so the Yelawolf drama with UMG doesn't really concern me... the video is fuckin crackin.  Directed by Andrew Fairbank, Edited by Rob Coin, Produced by Gerrad Wilson.

Machine Gun Kelly - Wild Boy/The Return

I'm guilty of dismissing MGK the moment I saw Diddy introduce him as part of his label. However, this track is too bammer not to plug. Also down low is an awesome video to an equally impressive track from MGK. Credit Waka with the assist on the Wild Boy track and Katt Williams for clowning. Oh, and credit Diddy for the obnoxious number of Ciroc shots.

Azealia Banks - Bambi

There is something about Miss Banks' music thats got me perplexed but wanting more. So long as the Emperor's grooving though, I have little to complain about.

Thaddeus David - Maven

Seattle's Thaddeus David has offered up a new tape via his label Members OnlyMaven.  It's all pretty hitter, but Thad comes at you with hella different styles making the mixtape... more like a collection of songs.  The first track, "Less Is More" was produced by Plug Gods God Father, Tele Fresco AKA SteezieColtrane AKA Stevie (of Stevie and Sam).  Thaddeus David and Tele Fresco are currently working on a different project together that will drop in the near future.

Dam Mantle - Her Woes


Here is the flipside of the Becoming Real track I posted a few days back.  Glasgow based producer Dam Mantle hits us with frenetic clicks, synths, and a Dilla sample.
