Anytime Baauer drops a new track it makes you want stop what you’re doing and listen. The producer’s raw talent and inventive approach have made him one of the most beloved producers in electronic music. That said, when he drops two tracks in one day, this is just multiplied exponentially. After premiering ‘Paauer’ on his Beats 1 radio show, the…

Pusha T didn’t write ‘Circles’ to be a social justice anthem. He didn’t write it to show off his lyrical chops. It is abundantly clear that Pusha T had one goal in mind when he wrote this song: to make America rage again. Pusha T takes us back to the days before Trump, before Hillary, before conscious rap was mainstream.…

Stööki Sound‘s Ösiris EP is due at the end of the month and the London duo are building some serious excitement around the release. After dropping the stellar single ‘Endz,’ Stööki return with their second track in ‘My G’s’. The cut is a raw grime record that debuts Jelacee’s vocal talents. With a steady flow and some solid bars, it…

Zeds Dead are constantly pushing musical boundaries, and their latest collaboration is no exception. The Toronto duo teamed up with Jadakiss and Style P to give us ‘DNA,’ a hard hitting hip-hop track with heavy dub influences. Jadakiss and Styles P are known for their raw relentless lyrics, which pair perfectly with Zeds Dead’s bumping bass. Zeds Dead is set…

Pusha T is back with a new track off his upcoming album King Push. ‘H.G.T.V.’ has Push flexing over a stripped down beat from Mike Will-Made It. The lyrics move from his role as GOOD music president (call him Blobama), to standing up for Desiigner and a ton of razor sharp braggadocios bars, “Half a year later, still ain’t heard an…

Whenever I write or talk about IshDARR, I can’t help but feel a little like a fake fan. I’ve been saying such over the top things about how talented he is, but a couple months ago I hadn’t even heard his name. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on to the part where I talk about how…

Sylvan LaCue is back with ‘Best Me’. The track gives us a taste of LaCue’s skills behind the boards. The production is stirring and understated with some strong drums to punch it up at the opportune times. But it isn’t the production that make this one stand out, it’s the bars. The cold feel has Sylvan reminiscing about life experiences;…

Earlier this year, Flosstradamus teamed up with Fki1st, graves, Post Malone and Key! for the massive summer anthem ‘Came Up’. It was an instant fan favourite with its blend of hip-hop, trap, future bass and a touch of pop influence. Taking the track to the next level comes a stellar visual. The video illustrates Flosstradamus’ come up. From their early days throwing…

IshDARR‘s second album, Broken Hearts & Bankrolls, is expected to drop on Friday, and the man dropped two tracks over the past week to hype it. Before we get into ‘Bad Four You,’ which will be on the new album, let’s talk a little bit about ‘NINEFIFTIES.’ ‘NINEFIFTIES’ is IshDARR’s take on the Weeknd’s ‘Starboy.’ I would normally argue that the…

I’ll never forget the day I realized how badly I want to visit Australia. It’s my sophomore year of college and I’m driving around with my buddy Chris, complaining about how all of the rap in our frat house sounds the same. He agrees, and puts on a song that opens up a whole new world for me: ‘Chase That…
