This isn’t an official track but this freestyle is mean, just as Funk Flex says. The Penn State native goes in over the Mobb Deep classic ‘Survival of the Fittest’. Easily flowing over the dark beat, Miller throws fast paced bars and multi’s while Funk Flex enjoys the display. This dropped before his last album Watching Movies with the Sound Off hit…

We get a lot of submissions daily and though we appreciate every single one of them, it isn’t that often that we get one that truly “wows” us. That said, the latest from LA producer NuKid is one of those gems. ‘Hella Night’ is a viscous G-House anthem built upon dark drums, filthy bass lines and a classic Mobb Deep…

I was never a big fan of R&B, but this new wave of future R&B has got me hooked. The latest track to win me over comes from from EXSSV, Arman Cekin and Y.A.S. It’s the perfect blend of sultry vocals, slowed feels and heart-melting strings with just enough wonky bass. Stream the addictive new track below and cop the…

I’m not sure where Kehlani came from, but she’s officially taking over. With producers like Djemba Djemba, Promnite, Gladiator and Stwo reworking her tracks, and this new collab with Mr. Carmack, I can’t seem to escape her (not that I want to). Connecting for #songsfromscratch, Carmack and Kehlani bring us ‘All In’. Carmack creates a downtempo back drop that lets…

Keys N Krates are back! Following up from their EveryNite EP, the three Toronto natives just dropped their latest single featuring Katy B. The track features a stellar drum arrangement that will make you dance and is sure to dominate festival sets this summer. Combining Katy’s vocals with melodious synths, Keys N Krates deliver a great tune just shy of…

I first heard Kris Kross’ ‘Jump’ back when it dropped in 1992. My brother was blasting the tune from a small JVC boombox in his room. When I walked in the energy grabbed me and as the song encourages you to do so, I jumped. Since then, the original has become one of my favourite records of all time and…

In the midst of his tour and being named one of XXL’s freshman picks, Goldlink just dropped off a new gem. If you’re not already a fan, ‘Dance On Me’ is a perfect introduction to the DMV rapper, featuring a taste of his gritty raps and soulful singing. The production, courtesy of Milo Mills and Hasta is a blend of smooth…

Mr. Carmack is back! The legendary producer who is widely renowned for creating the dark trap sound so many of our favorite artists have built upon, just dropped a new single. ‘Solutions’ is a short trip that gives listeners a taste of his upcoming Red EP, which is slated to drop later this month. The track is everything you would expect: break…

In a time where music doesn’t sell as well as it used to, online presence is more important than a record deal and followers equal dollars, artists have been finding new ways to garner attention and be “discovered”. If you’re an artist of any sort, how you operate online is almost as important as your art. While the playing field has…

The highly anticipated debut EP from Electric Mantis has arrived. Braincase is a 5 track effort that takes listeners on an entrancing and mind-altering journey. It’s the audio equivalent of doing LSD in an underwater cavern. ‘Pixel Wave’ sets the tone perfectly; blending the sounds of running water with gorgeous keys, shimmering synths, hard hitting bass and even a few…
