It’s safe to say Freddie Gibbs is at the top of the list for superior production in rap. As a hip-hop and electronic music blog, it’s notable to mention he isn’t a stranger to dance music and has collaborated with heavy-hitters JOYRYDE, Zeds Dead, and Kaytranada throughout the years. Once you get educated, you can listen to his new track and…

When you take a look back at the past two decades of electronic music, few names have been able to consistently push the boundaries of production like North Carolina native and Full Sail alum, Machinedrum. Since his first release as Machinedrum in 2001, the veteran producer has started countless side aliases. More recently one of these side projects with fellow…

Destructo has a stacked roster for his latest EP – Renegade boasts featured artists such as iLoveMakonnen, Pusha T and E-40, and one can only hope that they join him for his upcoming spring tour. As the EP progresses, the G-house vibe gets heavier with each song  – save a brief trap interlude near the end, from the title track…

Capping off Joyryde’s stellar breakout year comes a killer new collab with Freddie Gibbs. ‘Damn’ sees Gibbs ducking and weaving all over the delightfully off-kilter beat. Gibbs’ raw bars compliment the bouncey bubblin’ sound exceptionally. Adding some extra oomph come brass-heavy drops wrapped with Joyryde’s signature controlled chaos. ‘Damn’ is one of Joyryde’s most unorthodox productions to date and we can’t…

Zeds Dead are no strangers to rap music. The duo got into production making hip-hop beats before mixing it up and exploring dubstep and more recently house music. Even as they explored different sounds there was always an influence of hip-hop underlying within their sound. With that said, their latest release ‘Back Home’ is their most true to rap record…

Freddie Gibbs is dropping a new project on the 20th and to support the album he released a new single featuring the legendary Black Thought. Both Gibbs and Black Thought drop two verses on the joint with the second verse from Freddie Gibbs being potentially a freestyle (as the adlibs indicate). Get ‘Shadow of a Doubt’ on November 20th.

Freddie Gibbs invites us into his dope house while he whips up some of that new-new with Canada’s own Kaytranada. Gibbs stunts all over the banger. Stream it below and grab the track on iTunes when it drops in May.

There’s no doubt that Gibbs and Madlib’s ‘Piñata’ is the best colloborative rap record of 2014. ‘Knicks,’ highlights the best components of the entire record: The contrast between the soulful beats and the low, dirty vocals. This combination results in a cohesive song about pushing ‘knickle’ bags, Michael Brown, and trap life in Gary, Indiana. In this remix, we get…

Mass Appeal. Young Thug links up with A$AP Ferg and Freddie Gibbs on this new joint produced by Salva and Nick Hook. Right from the gate the beat gets you feeling super ignorant (Salva usually provides some dirty production). Thugger, Ferg and Gibbs all provide some catchy bars over this banger. Premiered through Mass Appeal you can stream the track below…
