Back in 2014, Promnite, Hoodboi, Falcons and Kittens linked up to form a supergroup group known as Athletixx. Although the All-Stars Mixtape built some serious hype, they’ve remained relatively quiet on the group front (they’ve been killing it on the solo tip). The lack of material has left fans salivating to hear some original tunes from the group. Finally the wait…

Ever since I heard ‘Timezone’ by Enschway and Luude, I knew Luude was going to be someone to look out for, and I was not wrong. In this flip of Fetty Wap’s popular banger ‘679’ Luude keeps the track catchy and upbeat in the beginning with some nice synth melodies sprinkled in. But the real story is in the drop. The drop is…

To celebrate his 28th Birthday, Big Sean has gifted fans with ‘Get My Shit Together’. It’s an introspective work that has Sean reflecting on his past and future. As the title ensues it’s a poignant reflection on the point he’s at in his life. From documenting how far he’s come, to his mistakes and fears and even looking back at…

In 2014 we named Oddisee the Best Rapper/Producer You’ve Never Heard Of. Although his fan base has grown strongly in the past two years, the title is still applicable. Oddisee operates in an interesting space; he’s large enough to book consistent world tours and live comfortably off his music, while still avoiding mainstream ears. His latest release Al Wasta is…

Happy Good Friday! Despite the holiday we’ve got another jam packed playlist for your listening pleasure. We kick things off with a new banger from Bro Safari and follow it up with heaters from Promnite and Baauer. Smookie Illson make their return with ‘Taken Away’. The group recently had their SoundCloud deleted so be sure to hit them with a…

Athletixx’s own Promnite is back again taking on Rome Fortune’s ‘Dance’. The track is an interesting balance of upbeat melodies, auto-tuned vocals and wonky as fuck bass lines. It’s a hybrid of deep house, club and a touch trap. The track has a catchy pop-friendly feel that is juxtaposed with some stellar production and progression. I look forward to hearing this…

This is as hip-hop as it gets; 3 of New York’s finest (Your Old Droog, Styles P and Joey Bada$$) on an ice cold Black Milk beat. ‘Just Rhyming’ sees each emcee dropping a verse with fierce bars. This isn’t that party shit to get live to, this is that sit down and listen and let the punchlines blow your…

Thugli has been known to take on massive hits and make them bigger with their incredible grasp of Trap. This track is no different. Desiigner has been everywhere since his latest single ‘Panda’ hit the Internet and though the Future Hive has sounded off many times regarding how similar his sound his to Future’s, there is no doubt that this…

Post Malone has been ballin’ on us for a minute, so it’s only right that ‘White Iverson’ gets itself a fresh coat of paint. New Zeland duo Eastern Bloc have done just that with a massive rework. The familiar vocals and some smooth keys set things off slow but don’t be fooled, this one gets crazy. Vocal chops lead into a…

The power and strength of What So Not is his ability to blend atmospheric and emotionally driven soundscapes with a hard hitting twist. Yet another striking example of this talent comes in the form of his latest, a remix of RÜFÜS’ ‘Innerbloom’. The intro sees heartfelt strings and synths underscored by dance ready drums. Just as you expect it to drop, it’s…
