Drake and DJ Khaled’s ‘To The Max’ is the summer smash that never quite happened. After teasing the Drake vocals for months, Khaled dropped the song ahead of his latest album to mixed reviews (I personally love it). Compounding this came issues around uncleared samples which led to it being removed from streaming platforms around the world. With the speed…

London trap legends Stööki Sound are fresh of their Off The Endz tour and that means it’s time for new music. The first single from their upcoming EP sees them linking up with Philly MC Bok Nero. ‘Burbs’ has Jelacee trading bars with Nero over a boomin’ beat. With each rap release Jelacee’s vocals impress and this is no different.…

Chance The Rapper just surprised us with a Young Thug collab entitled ‘Big B’s’. Thugger kicks things off making the anticipation for Chano that much greater. Chance comes through on point as always. While the verse centres around him stuntin’, this is Chance, so it’s far from your average. He sprinkles in humour and and realness perfectly with bars like,…

Back in March, Kash wondered if Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘XO TOUR Llif3’ would be one of the best songs of the year. While “best” is still highly debatable, it’s undeniably one of the biggest. There’s been a multitude of remixes and flips but the latest from Brasstracks stands above them all. Highly regarded for their ability to re-imagine works with their signature…

wevor trill is on a run right now. We’ve had the pleasure of premiering his incredible remixes of ‘Congratulations’ and ‘Pillow Talking’ on our site and now we’re back for the trifecta. This time he’s opted to take on the 2015 smash ‘Blessings’ from Big Sean and Drake. With retooled keys and some triumphant brass, wevor trill gives the track a regal…

Joey took to his Pro Era Radio Soundcloud to drop three new gems. Backed by producer extraordinaire Statik Selektah, the All-Amerikkkan Badass goes in, barring out over some smooth ass instrumentals. Hopefully this means a collaborative mixtape is on the horizon. Listen to ‘Love is Only a Feeling’, ‘500 Benz’ and ‘Too Lit’ here.

Jay-Z’s 13th studio album 4:44 has arrived. Dropping exclusively through Tidal, the project is 10 tracks deep and features Frank Ocean, Damian Marley, Beyonce & his mother, Gloria Carter. If you’re a Tidal subscriber head over to the site now to bump it. Considering this is the first Jay album in years, I was too hyped not to write something. So…

Sylvan LaCue is back at it with the self-produced single ‘Guilt Trip.’ It’s his third release off his upcoming album Apologies in Advance and it picks up where ‘Best Me’ and ‘Grateful’ left off. Icy keys provide the backbone for the beat, while heavy bass and slapping drum work drift in and out. Lyrically it’s what we’ve come to expect from…

Just released is the new collaborative album from Mass Appeal Records and HBO, a definitive soundtrack to the viral show Silicon Valley (Season 4). Amongst tunes from the likes of Run The Jewels and Nas, there is a wicked single from Hudson Mohawke in the form of ‘Passports.’ Featuring vocals from Remy Banks, this grimy slice of rap is full…

Long Beach emcee Vince Staples is back with a new project entitled Big Fish Theory. The sound perfectly balances classic West Coast bounce (‘Big Fish,’ and ‘745’) with more forward thinking electronic soundscapes (‘Love Can Be…’ & ‘Yeah Right’) . The latter is a straight up speaker blower produced by Flume and Sophie. Oh and if that wasn’t insane enough,  Kendrick…
