Happy Birthday to the Doctor! Today marks the legendary Dr.Dre‘s 49th birthday. Originally a member of the World Class Wreckin’ Cru, this man is responsible for bringing N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and more recently Kendrick Lamar to the forefront of rap. Those are some serious hip hop heavyweights, which in turn makes the Doc one of the illest…

Bro Safari just dropped a new track as a Free Download! This time teaming up with Valentino Khan for a remix of MIA’s – YALA. Like everything Bro Safari (and Valentino Khan for that matter) touch, this track is absolutely insane. The song takes you on a genre melding ride with heavy elements of Moombahton and Trap. MIA’s vocals “Bombs…

OVO signee, PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped a cool new joint. If you aren’t familiar with this artist who also happens to be from the Greater Toronto Area (more specifically Mississauga), you should definitely check out his first self titled tape. Persian Rugs is a free download and its definitely something smooth you can bump and chill to. Peep below!

The music community can’t get enough of Queen Bey’s track. Late last night/early this morning, in celebration of his 24th birthday, Toronto artist The Weeknd dropped his Drunk In Love Remix. This is one that can sit pretty next to Ye and Diplo. The track, in classic Weeknd fashion, features an ominous take on the hype beat originally produced by…

eSenTRIK of TWRK just uploaded his brand new remix of Genuwine’s club classic ‘Pony’. The track premiered last night on BenZi‘s Girl Trapz 5 mix for Diplo & Friends.

As if Kanye’s killer new remix of ‘Drunk in Love’ wasn’t enough, Mad Decent kingpin Diplo just dropped a remix of his own. The remix features a healthy addition of bangin’ bass and some nasty trap drums. Beyoncé luscious vocals with the heavy drops complement each other perfectly. I guarantee this song will be getting play from every DJ in…

In honour of his memory, we decided to take a look at 5 Big L songs that every hip-hop fan should know. Please bear in mind that this only a small sample of his astounding body of work.…

Joey Bada$$ and his homies collectively are Pro Era. These cats dropped the #SECCSTAPEVOL2 late last night. One thing about these young rappers is that they individually and collectively have some serious talent. The whole Pro Era sound is so 90’s and it really does feel nostalgic. The free stream, 7 track EP starts with Dessy Hinds “Chocolate Strawberries” and…

Damn! Yeezy went in on this joint. With Mike Dean’s help in reworking the original beat, Kanye jumps on and drops some clever ass bars. Original Beyonce and Hov verse included. Stream below! “you will never need another lover, cause you a milf and I’m a motherfucker”
