Fresh off his Diplo and Friends guest mix for BBC 1Xtra, TroyBoi has blessed fans with yet another track. ‘Recognise Real’ strays slightly from his usual sound with an upbeat and funky feel. With elements of UK garage the track showcases TroyBoi’s versatility while still retaining key elements of his signature sound. The pace at which the SoundSnob manages to drop music is becoming quite baffling…

Jackal’s ‘Chinchilla’ is easily one of the filthiest and most sinister tracks of the past few months. So when Woolymammoth, one of the most inventive producers in the game decided to put his mark on it, we all knew we were in for something special. Wooly doesn’t disappoint, trapping it out while retaining the filthy deep bass feel. The crowd noise…

A few stops into their North American Tour, PRhyme (Royce Da 5’9 & DJ Premier) descended upon Toronto with Your Old Droog to bring some real hip-hop to the dot. -30 temperature couldn’t stop die hard fans from lining up early outside Tattoo to get a good spot for the sold out show. Luckily for those who arrived late, the…

As the Mortal Kombat inspired artwork suggests both Logic and Big K.R.I.T. have been fighting their way to the top of the rap game, trying to move into the ‘Top Ten’. Considering both have finally arrived, it seems only fitting for them to jump on a track together. With 6ix on the boards the two rappers prove why they truly…

The most highly anticipated electronic album of the year is here. Skrillex and Diplo’s collaborative effort has arrived to blow your speakers and mind simultaneously. The 10 track project contains a wild smattering of guest appearances from Keisza, Missy Elliot, 2 Chainz and AlunaGeorge to Bunji Garlin and Justin Bieber (yeah seriously) plus more. To reference Tittyboi: this is the…

With Nicki Minaj, Drake, & Lil Wayne’s ‘Truffle Butter’ blowing up the internet, radio and clubs alike I thought it would be fitting to take a look at the track that laid the foundation for the beat. If you haven’t heard Maya Jane Coles’ ‘What They Say’ it should sound quite familiar. The deep house track is sampled throughout the…

TWRK have been relatively quiet for the past few months, presumably working on their upcoming WE ARE TWRK EP (dropping May 5th). Today the 100 bpm kings have returned with a massive anthem just in time for ‘Spring Break’. With party raps from Dougie F & The Rej3ctz the track is catchy and turnt up. Look out for this dominating pool parties, beach bashes and…

Cavalier is one of illest new producers of 2015. In the past few months the 17 year old Long Beach native has been bodying SoundCloud with tracks like ‘Solid’, ‘Silver’, and the sexy ‘Flirt’ (not to mention the tracks he may or may not have produced as Josh Pan). Today he’s back with a hard rework of Pusha T’s ‘Numbers…

For the past few months Jaden Smith has been getting major support from blogs and larger media outlets alike. I was beginning to think that the Smith family was slipping blogger’s funds for posts (they can’t really be taking this kid seriously). But today I was forced to change my thinking. Seeing a collab between Jaden and immensely talented Australian producer Ta-ku…

Celebrating the one year anniversary of their collaborative effort SoundSnobz, TroyBoi and icekream present fans with ‘The Gift’. The laid back intro fits the sunset artwork perfectly. The feeling is short lived as we are hit with bass that’s Wonkier than the top hat wearing chocolatier. Things mellow in the middle before getting absolutely bonkers once again. Chopped and pitched…
