The first time I had ever heard of Mark Redito, I was in an airport in Chicago heading home. I stumbled upon his bootleg of ‘It G Ma‘ and he has been one of my favorites ever since. Mark’s new track ‘You’ll Only Love Me When I’m Gone’ is just another reminder of how amazing he is. The catchy but emotional…

Alex Young has been a favourite of ours since we started the site. The talented young producer first caught our ear with his amazing ‘Right On Time’ remix and continued to impress with a variety of bangers. As his popularity increased he ventured into festival trap territory and geared up to be one of the biggest stars of the genre.…

Earl Sweatshirt returns once again, dropping probably his most soulful track, ‘Balance.’ Backed by smooth instrumentals produced by Knxwledge, Earl diverts yet again from the distinct sound we thought we knew him for in his most recent album I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside. Instead, his melancholic lyrics are softer, and have more to do with life rather…

It’s hard to believe it but last week the music world was met with the grave news that we’d lost another gifted artist way to soon, Orlando producer BIG MAKK. The outpour of support and sadness expressed by the entire industry served to exemplify the impact that BIG MAKK had on so many lives. Today was the set release date for MAKK’s…

When a track opens up with distorted guitar riffs and slapping 808s it’s difficult not to be drawn in. Add in some entrancing vocals and you’re guaranteed to be hooked. San Holo‘s ‘RAW’ does exactly this before building into a monstrous crash of rage-infused guitar riffs and heavy bass. Furthering the movement within ‘RAW’ comes a smooth breakdown that leads…

Mayhem & Antiserum are OGs in the trap game. That said, it’s only fitting that their track ‘Breaking In’ gets reworked by another OG in Bro Safari. The track utilizes the in-your-face turnt vocals from the original and pairs them with some killer retooled drops. The first packs a wonky industrial sound that is absolutely massive. For the second, Bro Safari…

Do you need a rich royal track to get regally down to? Ever dream of rolling up to a party with a fanfare of dirty-bass dripping bugles? Look no further. KRNE x Alexander Lewis‘ track ‘Fall Apart’ is a slick trap track beginning with breathy angelic vocals, that drums up images of a ferocious elite space army, lined up to…

A sassy snare starts out this track which is part of three track release on 4B’s return EP Weapons 2.0. As the deep darkened vocal sample announces their entrance, the drums will start to rattle your ribs. As the sun sets on the intro you are engulfed by the bass line. Striking higher pitched synth-overtones carry you over the abyss…

The production gives this track a smokey ephemeral flavor, but it is no way stripped down, or basic. It reminds me of a foggy summer morning, that magic time when it is bright without the sun, cruising on an empty highway just before everyone is out to rush. Black EL definitely makes it feel like he is taking his time…
