Fresh off his Diplo and Friends guest mix for BBC 1Xtra, TroyBoi has blessed fans with yet another track. ‘Recognise Real’ strays slightly from his usual sound with an upbeat and funky feel. With elements of UK garage the track showcases TroyBoi’s versatility while still retaining key elements of his signature sound. The pace at which the SoundSnob manages to drop music is becoming quite baffling…

Jackal’s ‘Chinchilla’ is easily one of the filthiest and most sinister tracks of the past few months. So when Woolymammoth, one of the most inventive producers in the game decided to put his mark on it, we all knew we were in for something special. Wooly doesn’t disappoint, trapping it out while retaining the filthy deep bass feel. The crowd noise…

A few stops into their North American Tour, PRhyme (Royce Da 5’9 & DJ Premier) descended upon Toronto with Your Old Droog to bring some real hip-hop to the dot. -30 temperature couldn’t stop die hard fans from lining up early outside Tattoo to get a good spot for the sold out show. Luckily for those who arrived late, the…

Friday is here and this week we’re bringing you 19 bangers. Some of these joints got their individual shine but this whole collection of tracks is pure fire. You can turn up to the sounds of DJ Carnage and ILoveMakonnen and continue jamming to new Jack Ü. Further into the playlist we keep the pre-game jumping with RL Grime and…

As the Mortal Kombat inspired artwork suggests both Logic and Big K.R.I.T. have been fighting their way to the top of the rap game, trying to move into the ‘Top Ten’. Considering both have finally arrived, it seems only fitting for them to jump on a track together. With 6ix on the boards the two rappers prove why they truly…

The most highly anticipated electronic album of the year is here. Skrillex and Diplo’s collaborative effort has arrived to blow your speakers and mind simultaneously. The 10 track project contains a wild smattering of guest appearances from Keisza, Missy Elliot, 2 Chainz and AlunaGeorge to Bunji Garlin and Justin Bieber (yeah seriously) plus more. To reference Tittyboi: this is the…

About a year and a half ago, Zane Lowe of BBC Radio 1 linked up with Yeezus to talk about the album (Yeezus) and the marginalization of his creativity. That interview went on to be one of the most talked about interviews for a while. Why, you ask? Well, because it was a great interview. Zane asked all the right…

With Nicki Minaj, Drake,  & Lil Wayne’s ‘Truffle Butter’ blowing up the internet, radio and clubs alike I thought it would be fitting to take a look at the track that laid the foundation for the beat. If you haven’t heard Maya Jane Coles’ ‘What They Say’ it should sound quite familiar. The deep house track is sampled throughout the…

There is truth in numbers and no matter what the haters and naysayers might chirp from Twitter and other social networks, Drake is the biggest artist in the game right now. The OVO head honcho dropped his new, kinda-confirmed and highly anticipated mixtape 6 years to the day of the release of his So Far Gone mixtape. The kid from…

If you’ve been rocking with us for the past little bit, you know we’re fans of this guy right here. Saint just dropped a new joint that samples the hypnotic synth whistle from Ciara’s ‘Goodies‘. Not only does he completely destroy the rework but he turns the crunk classic into a sexy twerk anthem. The joint features a smooth drum arrangement and…
