  Common sense. When you get a dope spitter from Chi-town and one of the greatest producers of all time on a joint together, you can expect great things. In the year ’99, Common linked up with DJ Premier to record a few songs for his album “Like Water For Chocolate“, and one of those joints is today’s Throwback Thursday…

Grandtheft has been having quite a year, connecting with Keys N Krates to drop one of the biggest bangers of the year, working on the massive Calvin Harris ‘Summer’ remix with Diplo and now dropping an official remix of T.I. and Iggy Azelea’s smash hit ‘No Mediocre’. The Toronto producer manages to fit in verses from both artists while adding in quick builds…

Alex Young has been taking a break from making turnt up tunes as of late. Instead he’s been gravitating towards melodic compositions that take listeners on a journey (see ‘Real Slow’ & ‘When I Die’). For anyone who’s been waiting for some hard hitting bangers from Alex, the wait is over. He just dropped a new track entitled ‘LNDNBRDGE/SXYBCK’. As…

R3ll just released his remix of Linden Jay’s ‘Be Like You’ and does it ever impress. Retaining the smooth vibe of the original, R3ll takes it to Jersey for a sound that is somewhere between laid back lounges and energetic dance floors. Utilizing the sultry vocals, the brick city bandit adds some serious kicks and claps to turn this one…

Well known for its exotic wildlife, great waves, beautiful beaches, and that unforgettable Simpson’s episode, Australia is now becoming well known for something else; its output of amazingly talented and inventive producers. With Knife Party, Flume and What So Not clearing the way, Australians are making big moves. It seems like every other time I find a great new producer…

Raury has been having a massive year since the release of ‘God’s Whisper’. In six short months the Atlanta native has dropped an impressive debut mixtape Indigo Child, built a strong following and was whisked away to meet and vibe out with Kanye West. Needless to say Raury has been getting some serious attention. When I saw that Flosstradamus and…

After building anticipation by dropping  the artwork last week, Kendrick Lamar has released his first single off his upcoming album. Entitled ‘i‘ the track centres around the lyrics “I love myself” . Rather than being an egotistical theme it’s meant more as an anthem to instill self confidence and have listeners singing along. With bars like “peace to fashion police,…

Let me start by saying I’m not a fan of Riff Raff. I saw him live once and thought that was more Riff Raff than I needed in one lifetime. With that said when one of my favourite producers decides to remix one of his tracks I’ll give it a listen. In this instance I am quite pleased that I…

Athletixx crew member Promnite has done some magic remixing Partynextdoor’s – ‘Recognize’. The track contains elements of Trap and Club while retaining just enough of the original to make it sound familiar and easy to sing along to. Being a fan of both the original and Promnite’s previous work, I absolutely love this. The energy is kicked up and every addition…
