One of the swiftest ways to tell if a song will be absolute heat from the beginning is if it incorporates any vocals from the godfather Biggie Smalls. Couple Biggie’s ‘Big Poppa,’ lyrics with a sexy melody of keys that sound like rain hitting puddles and you have the intro to New Zealand artist Dappa’s newest track ‘The Notorious X’,…

Renowned for a dark, occult symbolism that permeates every aspect of his profile, the United Kingdom’s Oddprophet has thoroughly grasped the art of contorting malefic basslines wrought with dissonant screeches and unnerving mixdowns, maintaining a persistent torrent of content that has given rise to ample weaponry in the likes of ‘The Star’ and ‘The Devil’. Further bearing his dark omen…

Earlier this year, NGHTMRE and A$AP Ferg teamed up to give us one of the best crossover tracks released in a long time. Since then the North Carolina native has given us his grimy trap VIP to ‘Redlight,’ as well as the trap lord himself, Flosstradamus, delivering his take on ‘Redliight’.  Through Ultra Music, NGHTMRE just gifted us with three…

Out now via Wakaan Records, Hydraulix’s Space Cadet EP dilates his regime…

It has been a hot minute since Never Say Die veteran LAXX has popped up on our SoundCloud feed. After unleashing the highly versatile and well-rounded Fake Friends album last year, the British producer has been relatively quiet, only delivering a wicked remix for SVDDEN DEATH and Yakz’s ‘Rock Like This‘ before returning to his creation dungeon for the first…

To say this week was stacked is a massive understatement. Today alone was simply insane! To get caught up on all the excitement you know we’ve rounded up the best of the week as always. We’ve got new music from TroyBoi, Big Sean, KUREI, Dappa, anti, YBN Cordae, Golden Child, Chris Siegel, G-REX, ATLiens and more!

TroyBoi’s new EP V!BES Vol. 3 has finally arrived on Owsla. The long teased release is a 5 track effort that’s distinctly Troy while showing that he continues to evolve and expand with time. Kicking off with ‘PAPI CHULO,’ there’s little build up. The hypnotic vocal quickly drops into a brain-bending synth and some filthy bass. From there the vocal…

Habstrakt has been on an absolute tear this year. Through singles on the hottest labels in the game such as Musical Freedom, CONFESSION, Monstercat and Gud Vibrations, the French bass legend has evolved his signature sound and become a true force in the hard-hitting house scene. Now, the talented producer returns to Monstercat with ‘Lasagne,’ enlisting fellow Frenchmen Bellecour to…
