If you haven’t listened to Chance The Rapper’s mixtape Coloring Book yet, you are missing out on one of the best mixtapes of the year. Heck, if it were eligible for a Grammy, we wouldn’t be surprised if it won one. Not only that, it was the the first streamed-exclusive project to crack the Billboard 200. With a star-studden entourage of…

It’s been over a decade since Apathy dropped his debut album Eastern Philosophy. If you haven’t heard the project go listen to it right now. It still stands as one of the best underground rap albums of the past ten years. Back in 06′ Apathy was one of my favourite rappers; his disdain for the mainstream, intelligent lyricism and storytelling skills made him undeniably ill to any underground hip-hop head.…

All up in my face, you not from the clique! YG returns with another banger featuring the 6 God. With a more low key sound to contrast the aggression in his lyrics, ‘Why You Always Hatin’ is about to be everywhere. As you can imagine Drake comes through with a catchy ass verse and some classic Drake cadences (you’ll hear…

With UZ‘s Magellan EP set to drop on Friday, the trap God has blessed fans with the second single ahead of its release. ‘Xanny Man’ features ignorant, drug-inspired bars courtesy of The Rej3ctz. With lyrics like “weed is OG like my granny man,” it’s as absurd as it is hard-hitting. Expect this one to incite waves of trap arms and…

Grandtheft has become one of the game’s most sought after remixers. Whether it’s Florence and the Machine, Calvin Harris or T.I., anything he reworks is guaranteed next level. Proving this once again comes his remix of DJ Mustard and Travis Scott’s ‘Whole Lotta Lovin’. Grandtheft strips the Mustard warmth out of the track and replaces it with icy, dark bass…

Brasstracks have been building a steady following with a stream of impressive releases. From stellar remixes of TNGHT and Goldink, to collabs with Grandtheft and originals (‘Say U Won’t’), every release is something special. As the duo gear up for the release of their upcoming EP Good Love, they’ve given fans a taste of what to expect with the title track. Connecting…

If you love rap and filthy trap then we’ve got a track for you. The standout from the 8ER$ Cactus EP comes from Victor Niglio and P.Keys. P.Keys skates over the beat with ease. Niglio pitches and loops his vocals for a darker sound that is expanded upon with a murderous drop. The mid-section eases up giving the vocals a chance…

Boston based producer D-Will has been on our radar for a minute and his latest track ‘FWAP’ illustrates why. The icy beat bridges the gap between that classic East Coast vibe and that 2016 knock. The track serves as a launching pad for some of Boston’s up-and-coming rappers. D-Will kicks it off proving that his talent doesn’t solely lie behind the…

Next Friday, Red Bull Sound Select’s monthly showcase will be at The Opera House headlined by hip hop star, Ty Dolla $ign. The Manifesto-curated event is one of many birthdays that Manifesto Festival is doing to celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. With the purpose of the Red Bull Sound Select being to “highlight some of the city’s most exciting emerging…

With production from West Palm Beach’s own Wishlade and Linzi Jai this is truly a Florida affair. The track sees Sylvan expanding his vocal range as…
