With his Everything album due out next week (10/7), Lido has unleashed yet another stellar single in ‘Dye’. It’s Lido’s third single (see ‘Crazy’ & ‘Murder’) and by far his most vocally driven. Relying mostly on his own vocals, the lyrics are simple but catchy. The underlying production further propels this one forward, with the vocals serving as one piece of…

Mura Masa‘s ‘Lovesick Fuck’ is one of the UK producer’s most recognizable and impressive tracks to date. The combination of emotionally gripping vocals, upbeat synths and hip-hop core made it as undeniable as it was unique. Giving the track a second set of wings, comes a fresh interpretation that sees A$AP Rocky dropping verses. It’s solid update for 2016 and with…

Carlos Coleman, aka “Los” or “King Los,” has been active since 1999. He’s put out more than ten mixtapes and albums in that time. And I’ll bet that a good portion of our readers have never even heard of him. I’m here to change that. I first heard about King Los in an interview with one of my favorite rappers…

Have you heard? Mad Decent has released a remix EP of Herobust’s I’m Aloud . With some of trap and bass’s most pioneering and freshest artists, this venture continues on Herobust‘s promised pivot into the no-man’s-land of electronic music’s misty, shadowed experimental-zone. Along with his VIP mix, Barely Alive, Spag Heddy, Wuki, and Da-bow stitch together hip-hop-esque vocals and deep electric wubbs to create a…

In today’s musical landscape you never know when the next great producer or production duo will appear, seemingly out of nowhere. Proving this true once more comes the debut release from faceless production duo PURGE. There’s little info available on them, but what is abundantly evident is their level of talent and potential. Feel Your Love gives listeners a two…

Manifesto is no longer that free event downtown where local talent and Kardinal Offishall occupy Dundas Square to entertain indie hip hop fans, tourists and shoppers leaving H&M. No shade to Kardi, but today’s iteration is a far cry from the Toronto festival’s humble beginnings. While I do miss the days of celebrating Toronto’s homegrown talent with no admission, I…

Volo first entered my life with his Traces EP; a unique 3 track offering. Since then, he’s continued to impress with a wide array of releases, namely ‘Pacific’. 9 months later, Volo has completed the coastal series with the release of ‘Atlantic’. The track feels like drifting over the coast line and out into the open ocean. The sun is beaming…

LA producer BLSZRD just burst onto our radar with a massive remix of Mija & Vindata. Taking on ‘Better’ the producer the retains the upbeat future bass feels in the intro and breakdowns. The vocals are guaranteed to pull you in and as the bass hits roll in, things drift into a darker appeal. Just before the drop hits, a…

S.L.M.N. comes to play with a new track that everyone can add on their ‘past 1am sus’ playlist. Features by Emerson Brooks add the perfect vocal accompaniment to Luu Breeze’s rhymes; both complimenting the easy mellow vibes S.L.M.N. creates. This kind of masterful sound with seemingly amateur artists is an indication that S.L.M.N. is worth watching out for.
