It’s Friday once again and we’re back with another stellar playlist to light up your weekend. We kick things of with the monster of a record that is Zeds Dead x Styles P x Jadakiss ‘DNA’. From there we get into cuts from Audiobot, Bishu and Willy Joy. Other standouts include Kaytranada’s Chance The Rapper flip and Jauz and San…

Zeds Dead are constantly pushing musical boundaries, and their latest collaboration is no exception. The Toronto duo teamed up with Jadakiss and Style P to give us ‘DNA,’ a hard hitting hip-hop track with heavy dub influences. Jadakiss and Styles P are known for their raw relentless lyrics, which pair perfectly with Zeds Dead’s bumping bass.

Pusha T is back with a new track off his upcoming album King Push. ‘H.G.T.V.’ has Push flexing over a stripped down beat from Mike Will-Made It. The lyrics move from his role as GOOD music president (call him Blobama), to standing up for Desiigner and a ton of razor sharp braggadocios bars, “Half a year later, still ain’t heard an…

GTA‘s disregard for genres has been well documented, from their all-over-the-place-but-still-tied-together performances, to their productions and their classic mix series Death To Genres. With their major label debut Good Times Ahead, fans were left wondering if their genre mashing days would be washed away for a poppy, radio-friendly sound. Thankfully the duo stayed true to themselves, delivering a 10 track…

Whenever I write or talk about IshDARR, I can’t help but feel a little like a fake fan. I’ve been saying such over the top things about how talented he is, but a couple months ago I hadn’t even heard his name. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on to the part where I talk about how…

Sylvan LaCue is back with ‘Best Me’. The track gives us a taste of LaCue’s skills behind the boards. The production is stirring and understated with some strong drums to punch it up at the opportune times. But it isn’t the production that make this one stand out, it’s the bars. The cold feel has Sylvan reminiscing about life experiences;…

I first heard of REZZ when I was going to see Zeds Dead at TD Echo Beach for Deadbeats back in August. I typically give a listen to the artists on the lineup to get an idea of what they are like and if I can get down or not. The first track I listened to from her was ‘Edge’ and from…

HXV is a pioneer in the electronic trap scene. While the genre tends to centre around a turnt up culture, celebrating alcohol and drug use, ‘Novocaine’ takes a different approach. The track has a more melancholy feel as Naz Tokio’s beautifully haunting vocals are sung from the perspective of the drugs themselves. The undeniable pull draws upon HXV’s own fight through drug…

London Bass producer Gorilla Complex just catapulted himself onto our radar with the release of ‘Time To Feed’. The track is a dark and dirty bass romp that’s filled with deep wubs and a bouncy beat. As stated by the Gorilla himself, “the catchy melody line represents a fight to be the alpha male in the animal kingdom”. Turn this one…

Earlier this year, Flosstradamus teamed up with Fki1st, graves, Post Malone and Key! for the massive summer anthem ‘Came Up’. It was an instant fan favourite with its blend of hip-hop, trap, future bass and a touch of pop influence. Taking the track to the next level comes a stellar visual. The video illustrates Flosstradamus’ come up. From their early days throwing…
