Remember what it’s like to fall in love? Me neither. But the new Ludacris and Chance the Rapper collaboration, ‘Found You,’ gives us a good idea. The track brings us straight back to the early 2000’s: the days where Ludacris love songs were king and life was much simpler. Chance the Rapper’s soothing voice on the hook matches the vibe…

Less than a week after celebrating the 6 year anniversary of his breakout mixtape Searching Sylvan, Sylvan LaCue has blessed fans with No More Apologies DEMOS. Sylvan characterizes it as, “A compilation of songs that either didn’t make ‘Apologies in Advance’ or my upcoming album.” The 9 track effort is a perfect sampler to hold fans over as they await his…

It’s been a long time since we heard from Boy Better Know, but if there was ever a time to bring back one of Grime’s greatest groups to date, it’s now. As soon as the melody from the beat starts, it already feels like a BBK track, the hairs on your back of your neck rise as you know what’s…

Big Sean’s highly-anticipated album Detroit 2 is here! The project is a follow-up to his 2012 mixtape Detroit and sees Sean as sharp as ever. The album possesses a level of maturity and depth that’s come with the rapper’s longevity. From deeply personal stories, to the plethora of inspirational bars and punchlines, to his spiritual and mental alignment, this may…

Public Enemy’s 1989 anthem ‘Fight The Power’ is the definition of a classic. 30 years later and with a new civil rights movement afoot, the track has been remixed by some of hip-hops greatest in the form of Nas, Black Thought, Rapsody, YG, Questlove & Jahi. With the same message but a fresh verses the incredible black artists bring the…

With Big Sean’s fifth album Detroit 2 only a week away, the Don just dropped off an incredible new single. Featuring the late great Nipsey Hussle ‘Deep Reverence’ is a deep cut. Nipsey sets the tone out the gate with the hard-hitting bars, “fuck rap, I’m a street legend, block love me with a deep reverence.” His commanding and conversational…

A lineup not to be messed with: Headie One, Stormzy and AJ Tracey. Arguably the three giants of U.K. rap right now, all on one track doing what they do best. The song is samples U.K garage classic, ‘Bump ‘n’ Grind’ by M Dubbs and Lady Saw and mixes it with The Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ ‘Pretty Little Ditty,’ to…

This may be a bold statement, but Aminé‘s Limbo is immaculate. Some of us can remember the first time ‘Caroline’ hit the SoundCloud popular page 4 years ago, and the rapper hasn’t slowed down since. Limbo is just another elite addition to his discography of albums, joining 2017 Good For You and 2018 ONEPOINTFIVE. With all the headassery that is 2020, Limbo is the light…

Earlier this year seeyousoon appeared seemingly out of nowhere with their impressive debut single ‘STEAMY.’ The track somehow found itself between backpack influence and youthful internet rap. Making it even more interesting is the fact that seeyousoon isn’t a solo artist or duo, but rather a 9 piece group. With the release of their debut album VIDÉ, the Florida-based crew…

IDK, JID & Kenny Mason are three of the illest rappers out right now. To see them all come together on one track is nothing short of murderous. The aptly titled ‘Cereal’ sees the trio trading bars over a slapping and hypnotic trap beat produced by DJ Scheme, Christo & Jay Card. JID kicks things off with a gritty hook…
