Belly is no stranger to the game. He’s been in the game for 15 plus years and in the last 5 he’s really started to make a mark on an international level. Today he dropped Mumble Rap which is an eleven track mixtape/album. And yes, the album title is ironic as hell because Belly is rapping his ass off on the…

Ekali & Denzel Curry’s ‘Babylon’ is an absolute monster. Remixing a track of this magnitude is no easy feat, but Ekali found a few producers that are more than up to the task. The official remix pack features 3 collaborative reworks. Kicking things off is Skrillex and Ronny J’s rendition. This one stays truest to the original, perfectly balancing Denzel’s…

If the stacked line-up on this one doesn’t already have you excited, I’m not sure what will. Bay Area producer JULiA LEWIS has connected with fellow producers Mr. Carmack and Mikos Da Gawd. The trio concoct a beat that’s smooth and summery. Elujay comes through with the bars and some stellar singing to top this one off exceptionally. This is…

A futuristic power ballad, ‘On the Run’ by NGHTMRE featuring PASSEPORT is a fiery track laced with electric guitar rifts and dramatic synths. PASSEPORT’s angelic vocals are laid over an eerie ambient-piano and lead into a guitar and snare building the drop. Everything plummets into a tribal flute sample as the bass bellows and plays with snippets of glass shattering…

4B‘s flip game is always on point.

The sound ends up somewhere in between 4B’s signature club style with a touch of deep house. The vocal chops…

Back again with another release on the excellent Never Say Die: Black Label, one of the leading lights of the dubstep scene, Trolley Snatcha, follows up his monstrous EP Get Physical with a free download goodie for all the heads. This time round we get ‘Ed Banga’ – a track that hits you over the head with monstrous bass and…

As I took in Kai Straw’s ‘Cherry Corvette’ I wasn’t expecting to be caught up in elaborate tale of deception but I was pleasantly surprised. With production by James the Bear, the backdrop is smooth and sexy with an opulent texture throughout. Kai’s vocals are smooth and dripping with swagger but it’s his songwriting that really takes this one over…

Deep Root Records‘ co-founder and prominent producer Francis Mercier has been making waves in New York’s EDM scene since the label’s inception in 2015, and he doesn’t intend to slow down anytime soon. Mercier is joined by UK rapper/songwriter Kris Kiss for the label’s first worldwide release, whose flow adds perfectly to the cultural melting pot – which also features…
