Collectives have been taking over the game in the past year or so. From Soulection and WEDIDIT to Moving Castle and Hegemon, each is leveraging the joint power of the artists fan bases to multiply their organic growth and put forth incredible collaborations and projects. The newest collective to land on my radar is the Austrian based TrapHood Family. Founded…

We need more ‘CoCo’ remixes like we need more Transformers movies (we absolutely do not). But this one is different, I promise. German producer Ben Esser leverages Ed Sheeran’s cover of the O.T. Genesis anthem. Rather than creating a gritty trap banger, it has a smooth almost romantic vibe. It starts out with a laidback and emotive feel and transitions…

If you’re looking for something to sex up your Saturday (or whatever day it is that you’re reading this) look no further. Dreamcasts and Lux Lynx recently connected for a remix of Omarion’s ‘O’. The Jersey flip features some steady bass kicks, bed squeaks and provocative chopped moans. The combination of new elements with Omarion’s sultry vocals are irresistibly sexy.…

Happy Friday! We got some heaters for you to bump on this Friday night. Things get started with the GTA banger ‘Smokers Unite’ featuring Paul Wall and Clyde Carson, which you can imagine features a heavy bass line and ominous melody that is sure to have everyone toking. O.T. Genasis comes back to life with the Flosstradamus remix of ‘CoCo’ and…

Bam Bam has been on one hell of a press run with his major label debut dropping earlier this week. Last night he blessed David Letterman’s stage with Chance the Rapper. The two performed ‘Baby Blue‘ which is track number nine on Mr. Wonderful. No fans were thrown off stage during the show (ha!) but it was a good performance…

Everything that French future bass virtuoso Dakat touches is stunning and evocative. For his latest release he has taken on EBY’s ‘Wait A Second’. The remix builds upon the incredible vocal work from Wrenn; somehow packing even more emotion than the original. From the massive synths, to the worldly sounds, birds chirping and expertly timed drums, it’s a torrent of sounds that combine for a moving…

Dreamville’s Cozz dropped the visuals to his joint ‘Knock Tha Hustle’ but this isn’t the original folks – this is the remix. Featuring two verses from J.Cole, this joint is one of the dopest rap records out right now. There really isn’t much more to say because the music really speaks for itself. This track is featured on his first Dreamville…

Last week we had the pleasure of connecting with eSenTRIK for an exclusive interview. In the interview he brought my attention to a bootleg he created in 2010 that fused Drake’s mega hit ‘Over’ with Dj Sega’s ‘Be’. It was a huge track for him as it was the first time he ever received blog coverage and even saw it posted on Drake’s…

Earlier this month we posted the title track off Hoodboi’s debut EP Palm Reader. Now the project has finally arrived and it’s stunning; an imaginative blend of future bass and Jersey club for a sound that is distinctly Hoodboi. ‘Dusk (Prologue)’ is an ethereal, slow building introduction that perfectly sets the stage and a fluidly transitions into ‘Palm Reader’. The…

London based Stooki Sound and Chitown’s Regulators are two of the illest trap duos out. So you know getting all four heads together for one track is going to result in some heat. ‘Flex’ is a bass heavy smash with pitched down vocal loops, some gritty bounce and no shortage of cowbell. Making this track even better is the fact…
