Tracks You May Have Missed

Time. My first introduction to Logic was the Young Sinatra: Undeniable mixtape from his Young Sinatra series. Today’s throwback Thursday track is the opening joint from Undeniable. There are a handful of tracks that are really well done and it’s tough to pick one from the handful but I feel like the opener ‘Inception‘ is a great song to look…

If you haven’t caught on by now Logic is one of, if not the best rising stars in the game. With his debut album Under Pressure due out on Tuesday, I figured we might as well throw it back to his first mixtape Young, Broke & Infamous. The track is aptly titled “Wordplay” and sees the emcee going in over…

For this week’s throwback we’re going to 2011 when XV decided to drop the J.Cole produced ‘Watch Me Go’. I must admit this is the first XV song I had ever heard and was instantly impressed. The production is upbeat and provides the perfect foundation for Vizzy to showcase his smooth flow, sense of humor and excellent wordplay. With bars…

Full Clip. For this week’s Throwback Thursday, we’re taking you back to 1999 with one of the greatest hip hop duo’s ever. Gang Starr, comprised of DJ Premier and Guru (in case you didn’t already know – and why the hell didn’t you know?), dropped a 32 track compilation album including three new originals. “Discipline” is one of the three. The…

  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…

It’s Thursday and that means it’s time to throw it back with another installment of ‘Tracks You May Have Missed’. Before CRNKN was exploring the wide expanse of electronic genres in which he has dabbled (Future Bass, Deep House, Electro, etc.) the artist was making noise in the Trap scene. CRNKN actually introduced me to a ton of my favourite artists…

I am, focused man! Hard to believe 13 years ago today Jay Z dropped one of the greatest albums of all time. Yeah, that’s right – thirteen years (because the fact that it is one of the greatest albums of all time can’t be contested)! The Blueprint was and is a great album from beginning to end and though you likely…

Taking it back to 2012 we dip into another one of my favourite trap classics. A track that helped cement my love for the genre: Tom Wrecks’ (1/2 of Thugli) rework of Nas – ‘The Don’. After the short intro “This for every ghetto in the hood…” The track comes with some serious energy. With sped and looped vocals, tweaked drums…

What’s the key to life? Money, Power, Respect has one of the most recognizable beats (if you’re a hip-hop head). This song is the title track from the The LOX debut album of the same name. Featuring the Double R (Ruff Ryders) head honcho and compadre DMX and then labelmate Lil’ Kim, this track is one of the hardest tracks from The…

Can you dig it? About a year ago, Flosstradamus and DJ Sliink linked up to create one of the illest party starters. If you’ve ever heard any of these artists, chances are you didn’t miss this track but its a throwback nonetheless. “Crowd Ctrl” features the two producers creating massive climbs with even bigger drops. The track came out at a…
