Looks like J. Cole and the Dreamville team aren’t ready to call it a year just yet. Bas & Cole just unleashed a new single entitled ‘Night Job’ which looks to be the first offering from the upcoming Revenge of the Dreamers II album, due out this Friday December 11th. Considering the quality of last year’s Revenge of the Dreamers Friday can’t come soon enough.…

Laval, QC native High Klassified makes trap beats. Within that he has fostered a sound that is uniquely his own- an accomplishment for any producer, let alone one that contributes to a style that adheres so closely to fairly strict genre rules. In addition to the skittering snares and fat 808 kicks one would expect, HK blends in deep atmospheric sounds, warm textures, and interesting melodies…

Eleven tracks make the cut for this weeks playlist and we grow closer to the 100th week. Todays playlist features Lady Parts, HRMXNY, Ghastly and more. We kick things off with the new Lady Parts joint which is a rework of the Lil Dicky track ‘Save Dat Money’ and follow up with the Phazz remix to Goldlink’s ‘Dance On Me’.…

With Kid Cudi’s new album Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven set to drop tonight at midnight I figured we’d throw it back with a classic from Cudi. Going back to his debut mixtape, ‘The Prayer’ sees Cudi going in over a beat that heavily samples Band of Horses ‘The Funeral’. It’s everything that fans came to love from the rapper. It’s…

Last year I stumbled across an incredible New York based producer by the name of Drek Martinez. His debut original, ‘No Love Lost’ made me an instant fan and releases like ‘Muse’, ‘Runaway’ and ‘6th Gear’ proved his consistency. I predicted a huge year for the up-and-coming artist but his SoundCloud fell silent for all of 2015. After spending a good portion of…

OVO pop duo Majid Jordan released ‘Something About You’ today and it’s safe to say the two haven’t missed a step. The tune comes complete with a sexy beat and vocals courtesy of the two Toronto natives. No word if this is attached to an upcoming project but we hope it is.

Bryson Tiller continues to kill live shows on the road following the release of his debut album. Luckily for fans who have been bumping TRAPSOUL and have been wanting to hear more, Tiller dropped a new loosie on his SoundCloud. ‘Self Righteous’ is another banger from the Louisville rapper/singer featuring production from a few of the cats that assisted with the…

It’s 2015 and artist based collectives and labels are quickly becoming the new norm. Dated record execs are being replaced by artists that are entrenched in the scene and dedicated to the culture. By banding together artists can harness a collective reach and influence comparative to that of a larger label without having anyone but themselves to answer to. The latest to…

This week we get deep right from the outset, kicking things off with a massive Biggie inspired banger from Malaa. Keeping the G-House feel, NuKid samples Ludacris for ‘Stand Up’. Switching the vibe, we trap it out with heaters from LOUD, Major Lazer x Gent & Jawns & Milo & Otis. Just when you get comfortable, Gutta takes you to…

Ever wondered what it would sound like if two of the best in the game exchanged tracks? Well you’re about to find out. To celebrate Black Friday, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole decided to do just that. J. Cole goes in over ‘Alright’ meanwhile Kendrick spazzes on ‘Tale Of 2 Citiez’. Unsurprisingly both tracks get bodied but who killed it…
