Legendary emcee Talib Kweli not only prides himself on his amazing skills as an artist but also for his ear for upcoming talent. Considering the fact that Kweli was an early supporter of many of the new school greats (Kanye West, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar) in 2012 he founded his own label, Javotti Media, with the goal of helping to break new artists. Cathedral is…

Girl Trapz is back! If you aren’t familiar with the mix series it’s about time you take a listen. Benzi’s mixture of Chill Trap, Jersey Club and Future Bass is nothing short of spectacular. The original Girl Trapz played a key role in shaping our site as it served as an introduction to Jersey Club and Future Bass for me…

One of the reasons why I love remixes so much is that they allow you to enjoy music by artists you otherwise would not. One of the greatest examples of this is Branchez breakout bootleg of Rihannna’s ‘Stay’. I’m in no way a Ri-Ri fan but I had that track on repeat for a good portion of 2013. Now Branchez has…

London based producer TroyBoi continues his work to keep the Trap/Bass scene interesting and inventive. Every release features unique sounds, obscure samples and neck breaking bass. His latest release ‘The Messenger’ is a prime example. A smooth dream-like intro pulls you in before TroyBoi slaps you across the face with a bass filled drop that is distinct but very reflective…

Let me preface this by saying that this isn’t quite in line with what we regularly post. I’ve never listened to the Strokes and haven’t really taken the time to get into Vaski. When I first decided to give it a listen, I didn’t know what to expect, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. The track opens with an…

Rae Sremmurd ‘No Type’ has to be one of the hottest tracks of the year. How could it get even hotter? How about a remix from LA based twerk kingpin Party Favor? Building off the catchy vocals of the original, the producer picks up the tempo. The first half is more laid back than one would expect and it isn’t until…

Sam Gellaitry is an artist who I have had an eye on for quite some time. Over the past few months he has been killing it on the low with a ton of impressive SoundCloud uploads. The 17 year old Soulection producer’s latest release ‘business’ is a can’t miss. The track opens with Angel-esq vocals that are accompanied by gritty hip-hip…

Satin Sheets x Silk Beats is back! Volume 9 doesn’t disappoint featuring carefully selected tracks with silky smooth synths, beautiful vocals, seductive strings and generous amounts of bass. It’s the finest collection of Mellow Trap, Future Bass and Jersey Club you’ll encounter. The 9th edition features music from Hoodboi, JAWZ, Yung Wall Street, AOBeats, Sweater Beats, Zuper, Durkin and more. We guarantee this is some of…

Over the past year, Loston has grown from a virtually unknown producer to one of the most the consistently moving producers out right now. It seems like I don’t even have to press play to determine if I’m going to like a song (don’t worry I do press play before posting music), if Loston’s name is on it, it’s guaranteed…

After grinding for years, dropping mixtapes and not getting the attention he deserved, Miami artist QuESt has finally found his stride in 2014. With the help of Visionary Music Group (VMG) and a refined outlook, things have really come together. Earlier this year he joined VMG labelmate Logic on his North American While You Wait tour, increasing his fan base one performance at a…
