Earlier this week Lido asked fans where he should upload something that was guaranteed to be taken down. It looks like today he decided on a location, the newly created lifeofpeder.com. The work he was referring to is an epic 8 minute re-imagination of Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo. Aptly titled ‘The Life of Peder’ (Peder is his real…

Back in 2014, Promnite, Hoodboi, Falcons and Kittens linked up to form a supergroup group known as Athletixx. Although the All-Stars Mixtape built some serious hype, they’ve remained relatively quiet on the group front (they’ve been killing it on the solo tip). The lack of material has left fans salivating to hear some original tunes from the group. Finally the wait…

To celebrate his 28th Birthday, Big Sean has gifted fans with ‘Get My Shit Together’. It’s an introspective work that has Sean reflecting on his past and future. As the title ensues it’s a poignant reflection on the point he’s at in his life. From documenting how far he’s come, to his mistakes and fears and even looking back at…

In 2014 we named Oddisee the Best Rapper/Producer You’ve Never Heard Of. Although his fan base has grown strongly in the past two years, the title is still applicable. Oddisee operates in an interesting space; he’s large enough to book consistent world tours and live comfortably off his music, while still avoiding mainstream ears. His latest release Al Wasta is…

Happy Good Friday! Despite the holiday we’ve got another jam packed playlist for your listening pleasure. We kick things off with a new banger from Bro Safari and follow it up with heaters from Promnite and Baauer. Smookie Illson make their return with ‘Taken Away’. The group recently had their SoundCloud deleted so be sure to hit them with a…

Athletixx’s own Promnite is back again taking on Rome Fortune’s ‘Dance’. The track is an interesting balance of upbeat melodies, auto-tuned vocals and wonky as fuck bass lines. It’s a hybrid of deep house, club and a touch trap. The track has a catchy pop-friendly feel that is juxtaposed with some stellar production and progression. I look forward to hearing this…

This is as hip-hop as it gets; 3 of New York’s finest (Your Old Droog, Styles P and Joey Bada$$) on an ice cold Black Milk beat. ‘Just Rhyming’ sees each emcee dropping a verse with fierce bars. This isn’t that party shit to get live to, this is that sit down and listen and let the punchlines blow your…

Post Malone has been ballin’ on us for a minute, so it’s only right that ‘White Iverson’ gets itself a fresh coat of paint. New Zeland duo Eastern Bloc have done just that with a massive rework. The familiar vocals and some smooth keys set things off slow but don’t be fooled, this one gets crazy. Vocal chops lead into a…

The power and strength of What So Not is his ability to blend atmospheric and emotionally driven soundscapes with a hard hitting twist. Yet another striking example of this talent comes in the form of his latest, a remix of RÜFÜS’ ‘Innerbloom’. The intro sees heartfelt strings and synths underscored by dance ready drums. Just as you expect it to drop, it’s…

Earlier this year OVO’s Majid Jordan dropped their debut album. The self titled effort features a slew of incredible works including the stand out single ‘Something About You’. The hazy vibe and alluring melodies made this one an instant hit. The original is so strong that pulling off a remix that does it proper justice is no easy feat. Thankfully…
