LA-based producer anti. landed on my radar at the top of 2018 when an incredible Biggie remix caught my ear in Wuki’s Diplo & Friends Mix. After some digging I found the track entitled ‘cali cali’ came from the relatively unknown anti. Since then I’ve been following him closely as he impressed with ‘shock collar’ and bootlegs of oshi x…

Back with his first release of 2019 is Alexander Lewis with ‘Win The War.’ The first single off his upcoming RED EP sees Lewis linking with Dallas rapper B.Anderson. The track finds the perfect balance between Alexander Lewis’ signature of powerful brass and his more recent hip-hop leanings. Recorded with an 8 piece bass band, the backing is nothing short…

With previous releases on Jadu Dala and Tribal Trap, Amsterdam-based producer Vluarr has been making some major waves in the trap and bass scene. Today he returns with what’s sure to be his biggest banger to date in ‘DOPE’ out on Trap Party. It seems his time studying at Herman Brood Academie has paid off, as ‘DOPE’ is a refreshing smash…

With Skrillex finally dropping new music in the form of a fresh remix and his upcoming Dog Blood EP, and Chance The Rapper’s debut album slated for July, both artists have been top of mind. The timing has caused their 2014 collab to become top of mind for me once the again. ‘Coast Is Clear’ represents what made Recess so special;…

London-based producer Afrosamuraiist has been on a steady ascent for the past year. He landed in our Focus Five segment last July and he’s proceeded to expand his talents with each new work. With the release of his aptly titled On The Verge EP, Afrosamuraiist proves he’s next up. Opening up the project is ‘Shift,’ a vibey, slow-burning track that…

Cole x Travis Scott, Duke & Jones x Lucchii, Hontis, Skrillex, Whethan x Jeremih, Too Much, Promnite, Sixpaths, sfam, Milano, Edekit, Gladez & so…

Chicago-based newcomer Vermyllion is gearing up to take the bass world by storm. His debut release ‘Dreamstate’ dropped via Spicy Bois and already has gained support from big names like DMVU and Zeke Beats. Proving his first release was no fluke comes ‘Purple Pills.’ The trippy bass banger is built around a familiar D12 sample taken from the 2001 hit…

J. Cole’s campaign as the reigning guest verse king continues with a new feature on Young Thug’s ‘The London’ alongside Travis Scott. The T-Minus produced track finds the perfect balance between knocking and wavy. Travis Scott’s smooth hook is sure to pull you in. J. Cole drops off a stellar verse that has him flirting with a Young Thug inspired…
