Tory Lanez is that dude right now. With ‘Luv’ becoming a bigger hit by the day, Tory continues to roll with the momentum by dropping loosies for the fans to bump.

You have to listen to the track to really…

London based producer TroyBoi is back at it once again, schoolin’ the game with his latest release ‘Sensei’. The track possesses a wordly vibe while packing his signature ‘My Style’ sound. It’s part beauty, part intensity; part discombobulating and part calming. It’s the collision of these juxtapositions that make this one truly extraordinary. TroyBoi has been one of the most inventive…
