Full Clip. For this week’s Throwback Thursday, we’re taking you back to 1999 with one of the greatest hip hop duo’s ever. Gang Starr, comprised of DJ Premier and Guru (in case you didn’t already know – and why the hell didn’t you know?), dropped a 32 track compilation album including three new originals. “Discipline” is one of the three. The…

Soundsnobz (Troyboi and Icekream) have released some of the most original bass tracks of the year. Whether they’re flipping 50 cent, making girls “Twerk it till it hurt” or helping you and your friends ‘Turn Up Together’, the Snobz always deliver. Their latest effort entitled ‘Eyes’ has a futuristic spacey vibe with deep bass lines and eclectic vocal samples spliced throughout. Stream and free download below.

Stone Mountain. Donald teamed up with DJ Drama for his very own Gangsta Grillz Mixtape – but this isn’t some regular mixtape. STN MTN is the free mixtape that leads into the Kauai EP. In an interview with Complex, Bino stated that the mixtape acts as a precursor to the EP. A pretty cool concept and the music doesn’t disappoint…

Mr. Carmack has become a legend in the electronic music scene. The producer has an uncanny knack for crafting amazingly original and inventive tunes ranging from laid back and melodic to gritty and disgusting bangers. His latest project entitled Drugs EP is a 13 track collection of his recent work. Available on Bandcamp for a name your price point, the…

Groovy Baby! Dallas based production duo Lady Parts have proven their ability to make fun, yet hard hitting tracks several times over (see ‘UNBLVBL’ & ‘When Will The Bass Drop’). Their latest effort entitled ‘Groovy’ might be the best example yet. Built off an Austin Powers sample, this track takes the lovable spy to the trap. The catchy and familiar loop…

A few weeks back we covered a track called ‘Garcia Vega’ from a relatively unknown artist Black EL. Since hearing the track I’ve been keeping a keen eye on the Boston based rapper, eagerly anticipating his next release. That day has come as Black EL once again connects with Durkin and Victor Radz for ‘Golden Child’. The production is on point, in…

Hundred Waters are not an easy band to describe. Their recent record, ‘Moon Rang Like a Bell,’ is sophisticated, melodic, and haunting. Mixing elements of electronic music with traditional instruments, the band is able to create songs that create drama and tension that are only partly resolved, leaving the listener a desire for more. In this remix of ‘Down from…

Keys N Krates latest release Every Nite demonstrates why the Toronto trio are becoming the masters of weird rap beats. The 6 song EP is strong from start to finish with just enough diversity to keep things interesting while remaining cohesive. ‘Understand Why’ opens the project with incredibly infectious vocal loops, energetic snare rolls and killer keys. Much like their…

Prior to dropping his newest collection of work, ‘Lost Cause,’ Toronto rapper Tory Lanez was busy teasing his followers with tracks produced by Weddit members Ryan Hemsworth on ‘Mama Told Me,’ and most recently, RL Grime on ‘I-95.’ On ‘I-95,’ Lanez shows his diversity, opening the track with soulful vocals before sliding into his grimy rap groove. Incorporating pitch changes…
