Missy Elliot has been making a slow but steady return in the past year or so. We’ve seen a number of her classic tracks remixed and sampled including in the massive Diplo & GTA hit ‘Boy Oh Boy’. Coupled with a recent show stealing Superbowl appearance, the female spitter is getting her biggest buzz in a decade. Building on the hype, trap trio…

Satin Sheets x Silk Beats is back! Volume 11 doesn’t disappoint featuring carefully selected tracks with silky smooth synths, beautiful vocals, seductive strings and generous amounts of bass. It’s the finest collection of Mellow Trap, Future Bass and Jersey Club you’ll encounter. The 11th edition features SSxSB staples like Jailo, Sable, & Jai Wolf. Plus stunning tracks from a ton of newcomers including Cavalier,…

For many SoundCloud affianados a collab between Pham and Josh Pan is a dream come true. The two have both been burning up the platform getting reposts from some of the best out. Even with expectations high, this track is sure to impress. The song opens with an airy synth laden vibe. As they bring in Jay-Z’s “R-I-P” vocals the…

Arman Cekin recently wow’d us with his remixes of ‘Hold You Down’ and ‘No Type’. Keeping the strong momentum going the dutch producer comes through with another smooth rework. Leveraging the stellar Bone Thugs-N-Harmony verses and Akon assisted hook, the producer builds around what makes the original so good. Adding in some picturesque future bass feels, Arman takes the 07′…

Fabian Mazur has made a name for himself as a producer who makes hard hitting trap and twerk bangers. So when I saw the Future/Jazz tag on his latest release ‘SOMO’ (Standing On My Own), I wasn’t sure quite what to expect. The jazzy riffs and moving vocals create an emotion and experience that I’ve yet to encountered in Fabian’s…

Friday is finally here and we’ve got another killer playlist to set it off. Week 51 features heat from Keys N Krates x P Reign, Havok Roth, Instant Party!, Sleepy Tom, Icekream and more. Other highlights include a killer ‘Tribe’ remix from NGHTMRE, a dope original from Lady Parts, and SwaggleRock chopping vocals to oblivion on ‘I Got That Fire’.…

If Meek Mill can manage to keep himself out of jail, we’ll have access to an entire LP worth of new music sooner, rather than later. ‘B-Boy’ is a cut from Dreams Worth More Than Money and will have to satiate our appetites until the record drops. Bringing Big Sean and Ferg into the studio for this one was wise,…

Oh God! Big Sean had a pretty stellar 2014 with a big single and great features. Building on the momentum, the Detroit native announced his upcoming album Dark Sky Paradise for a February 24th release date. Late Thursday night, Sean dropped a new single from the upcoming album featuring Drake and label boss Kanye West. ‘Blessings’ has Sean recalling his come…

I guarantee that anyone flipping through Danny Brown’s surprisingly large back-catalogue will discover Black andy Brown! and play it on repeat for a week. This short LP was released in 2011 to favourable reviews and all tracks are produced by fellow Detroit native, Black Milk.  It flew a little under the radar and doesn’t get the attention it deserves. On ‘LOL,’ Brown…

Last week we put out our list of the most inventive producer right now. One of my personal favorites is Scottish producer Sam Gellaitry. His latest release ‘Temple’ is a strong example of why he deserved a place on the list. The song opens with a smooth relaxed sound that features beautifully stretched vocals. Just before the minute mark things…
