"what so not"

Whoa. This track is pure heat. In celebration of his 24th birthday Logic links up with QuESt, C Dot Castro and Jon Bellion and drops bars over a hard beat. Logic is prepping his album and if this is any indication of what we should expect, then we’re in for a serious body of work. Keep in mind he’s going…

OVO just uploaded a new track from Hamilton artist OB OBRIEN. The track is entitled ‘Steve Nash’ and features a lot of wordplay around the Canadian athlete, “No seeds in my weed pack/ B.C., pass it all around that’s Steve Nash.” The production is handled by Chef Byer and the beat is a cold combination of banging drums, smooth keys…

Now this is something I wasn’t expecting! Underground legend MURS teamed up with Curtiss King for the free $hut Your Trap EP.

DJ Snake cut through the noise dropping some of the biggest and most original tracks in the genre. If you…

Talib Kweli gave fans an early Christmas gift dropping Gravitas on December 15th. With his sixth studio release,  Kweli proves he is still one of the most talented MC’s out.
