If you were either living under a rock or comatose in 2004, you are forgiven for not knowing ‘Lean Back’ by the one and only Fat Joe featuring the always controversial Remy-Ma which is one of the most iconic Scott Storch singles.

The Notorious B.I.G.’s ‘Juicy’ is one of the most iconic hip-hop records of our generation. Although the a capella has been floating around forever, few producers have been brave enough to put their own spin on it. Flipping a record that massive is no easy feat but it seems JOKER is more than up to the task with ‘B.I.G’. The…

Yogi has a knack for making bangers with high profile artists (see ‘Burial’ & ‘Blow You Up’). Today he expands that formula tapping 3 6 Mafia’s Juicy J and adding in FUXWITHIT favorite Alexander Lewis. Juicy J comes through with unapologetic raps that fit perfectly over the slapping beat. The lyrics are simplistic and catchy while the beat perfectly flows…

Proving this yet again comes ‘Boo You Know.’ Falcons crafts a supreme backdrop equipped with some bay area bounce, tight 808s and strong progression. Goldlink skates over it with ease; whether it’s dropping swag-dripping verses or adlibing…

Nas and DJ Shadow are about as iconic and legendary as it gets. I never imagined them coming together on a track but it’s 2017 and collaboration has never been at a better place. Proving this once more comes ‘Systematic’. The cut sees Shadow crafting a wild backdrop which is part classic boom-bap and part futuristic. Nas provides fitting bars…

Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. has been the most talked about album in recent time. Yesterday Kendrick dropped a visual for one of the albums standouts ‘DNA’. Today Mr. Carmack has decided to put his own touch on it with a fresh remix. In tru eCarmack fashion, the producer layers Kendricks’ vocal over mind-bending bass. The intensity doesn’t last forever though, as…

Conrad Clifton presents the second single from his debut album! ‘Nitemare’ will leave you with chills while vibing to its grime-influenced beat.

That is, until 2/3 of the way…
