“You got that good love, I got that hood love.” The simple, infectious and fitting lyrics kick off the latest remix from Hoodboi. The producer takes his pal Lido’s ‘I Love You’ to new heights. It still contains the powerful vocals from the original but this rework is somehow even more infectious and beautiful. The wavey electronic melody is pure bliss and…

Now this is a track that puts it on for Canada! Calgary’s Smalltown DJs connected with Victoria’s own Neon Steve and London, Ontario native Shad. The trippy and hard hitting beat is primed to set the club on fire. Shad comes through with sharp and humorous bars while ridding the beat with ease. “There’s not a rapper that I fear…

If you haven’t caught on by now Logic is one of, if not the best rising stars in the game. With his debut album Under Pressure due out on Tuesday, I figured we might as well throw it back to his first mixtape Young, Broke & Infamous. The track is aptly titled “Wordplay” and sees the emcee going in over…

Too much money on my mind. Now to be fair, I’ve never actually listened to a full Boaz track – but the Mac Miller feature got me to tune in. The feature makes sense, Boaz is signed to Rostrum Records which was Mac’s previous home. The indie label and management company worked wonders with Miller’s career and even though they split…

Mula. ‘Rich Gang 2’, the second compilation album from Cash Money Records is getting ready to drop (maybe after Tyga’s album, ha!) and the lead single features Young Thug and Lil Wayne. Complete with excessive auto-tune and a beat produced by London On Da Track, the song is set to bang in the hoods and clubs. Thugger owns most of the…

I don’t know about you. Instant Party! just dropped a beautiful VIP remix of their original ‘Lullaby‘ track which features a Taylor Swift sample from her hit “22”. The first time around, Instant Party! took a more progressive trap approach with machine gun snares and heavy kicks. The VIP remix is a little more chilled out but still bangs. Next up…

The Halifax Pop Explosion is an annual music and arts festival. It takes place in several different venues in Halifax, Nova Scotia and has occurred almost every autumn since 1993. This year’s event will run from October 21-25. Although it’s in an area of Canada generally known for Celtic music, Halifax has had a thriving indie music scene since the early…

‘After Dark’ the latest release from Sydney based producer JAWZ is an entrancing Future Bass effort that transports listeners into a dream like state. The track features emotive vocal samples, some heavy space bass, and is soaked with synths. An unexpected twist is the hard hitting brass section that really adds some intensity. Australia continues to pump out amazing talent…

Turn Up. Mike Will Made It is getting ready to release his Ransom mixtape and today he dropped another freebie from the mixtape for the fans. Featuring Jody Highroller and OVO’s latest signee; ILoveMakonnen this song is sure to have the club’s turnt up. I’m sure there will be remixes to follow from some of the popular Trap and Jersey…

Both artists walk you through their trials and tribulations as men who have struggled with quick bursts of success, failure and controversies. Joe Budden’s ‘Some Love Lost’ is set…
