If you haven’t been paying attention, Skepta is taking over. With blogs buzzing about Grime’s imminent explosion in North America, Skepta is leading the charge. His gritty flow, hard hitting bars and insane beat selection are hard not to enjoy. ‘Shutdown’ is one of the nastiest tracks of 2015 and the Londoner continues his momentum with his latest release. ‘Back Then’…

With the sequel to The Game’s Documentary being finalized, the Compton emcee unleashes one of the most anticipated tracks off the record. ‘100’ features a hook and guest verse from Drake. As expected it’s crazy catchy and guaranteed to be looping in your head and likely your headphones all day. The laid-back beat mixes soulful vocals samples with knocking 808’s and…

This isn’t an official track but this freestyle is mean, just as Funk Flex says. The Penn State native goes in over the Mobb Deep classic ‘Survival of the Fittest’. Easily flowing over the dark beat, Miller throws fast paced bars and multi’s while Funk Flex enjoys the display. This dropped before his last album Watching Movies with the Sound Off hit…

In the midst of his tour and being named one of XXL’s freshman picks, Goldlink just dropped off a new gem. If you’re not already a fan, ‘Dance On Me’ is a perfect introduction to the DMV rapper, featuring a taste of his gritty raps and soulful singing. The production, courtesy of Milo Mills and Hasta is a blend of smooth…

With the release of Major Lazer’s Peace Is the Mission earlier this week, we figured we’d look at a track from Diplo’s Caribbean inspired project for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed. Though many are familiar with the 2013 hit ‘Get Free’ they may have missed the remix featuring J. Cole. The track serves as an interesting backdrop for Cole…

Milo & Otis with N.O.R.E and Paul Wall!? We most definitely FUXWITHIT. The production duo bring their A game and signature sound with a hard hitting trap beat. Paul Wall glides over the beat, stunting about his bling, “whole mouth froze up like David Blaine in Time Square.” The intensity subsides for a brief break before N.O.R.E. comes through hard…

Louis Futon is back with a genre bending banger to put your speakers to work. ‘Oakland Tho’ sees the producer taking on Vell and DJ Mustard. The rework has a futuristic feel that layers the rap bars with dark and disgusting drops. For the break, Futon allows a little bit of Mustard’s signature sound to bleed through before bringing it…

The New Yorkers link up on this new joint and no doubt this is something strictly for the streets. The trap music inspired track from these East Coast rap cats is cool to listen to especially when 50 jumps in on the second verse. Hopefully this means more music from these guys, cause this is nice. Listen below.

Here we go. Drake’s VFT6 announcement is imminent and as we get closer to a hot summer, three of the boy’s tracks just leaked. The first, ‘Go Out Tonight‘ is a somber joint which features Drake singing to all the single ladies as he encourages them to go out and enjoy the night. ‘Tryna Fuck‘ is the new strip club…

With A.L.L.A. dropping June 2nd, seems like Rocky is letting records fly to ensure the album sells through well. This joint with the Hoover street rapper features the same fast paced flow we loved on ‘Multiply‘ but the hook really switches things up. Cop the album when it drops but for now listen below.
