With the release of Major Lazer’s Peace Is the Mission earlier this week, we figured we’d look at a track from Diplo’s Caribbean inspired project for this week’s Tracks You May Have Missed. Though many are familiar with the 2013 hit ‘Get Free’ they may have missed the remix featuring J. Cole. The track serves as an interesting backdrop for Cole…

A$AP Rocky recently dropped his sophomore album titled A.L.L.A. (At Long Last A$AP) and we decided what better way to celebrate his release with a look back to the track that started it all. ‘Purple Swag’ dropped in the summer of 2011 and since its release Rocky has become one of the most popular artists in the game. The track…

Today’s throwback is one of the most hype TWRK (eSenTRIK and Benzi) tracks I’ve heard from the duo. Featuring a little help from 4Korners, ‘Work’ is the ultimate twerk jam. This tracks comes complete with vocals that are definitely NSFW, a familiar melody flipped on its head and drums that are reminiscent of Busta’s ‘Touch It‘ hit. TWRK and 4Korners delivered…

Yea I know what you’re thinking – “these guys posted a Ja track?“, and yea we did. This track is a pleasant throwback because it reminds you of how good Ja once was. The track comes from the New York rhymer’s debut album titled Venni Vetti Vecci. ‘Race Against Time’ is the third last joint off the album and really closes…

Today, we’re throwing it back to 2012 when Philly native Meek Mill dropped his debut album Dreams and Nightmares. The track we’re revisiting is the opening song of the same name and it has quickly become one of the most revered intros in the last couple of years. Meek is known for his energy and effortless flow but this track…

Spring is here for us Canadians, but when the sun shines like the way it’s shining today it feels like Cali (but that breeze will freeze you still). That being said, this weeks throwback track takes you to the Wild West with Kurupt’s ‘On, On Site’ featuring Lil’ 1/2 Dead. The first time I heard this track I was probably…

It’s officially March and with Spring just around the corner I thought I would warm things up with a classic summertime groove. Taking it back 2011, an up-and-coming producer named Dillon Francis was making cheery Moombahton tunes as the genre began gaining steam. Possibly his best and most upbeat is ‘Beautician 2.0’. Borrowing elements from ‘Beautician’ Dillon strips all the…

With Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late dropping just last week, we thought it would be cool to look back at the mixtape that made him. This track ‘Say You Will’, perfectly looped by 40, was track number eight on his So Far Gone mixtape. Venting over the Kanye West track, Drake walks you through what its like to be…

With Big Sean buzzin’ right now off the Drake assisted ‘Blessings’ and his album release just around the corner, I figured we’d take it back to a classic track from Sean Don. Coming of Finally Famous Vol. 3. ‘High Rise’ showcases Sean’s creative wordplay, ill punches and clever sense of humour. The track is dripping with quotables from, “now isn’t it…

For this week’s throwback track we’re taking it back ’99 with Mobb Deep’s ‘Quiet Storm’. Though the remix with Lil’ Kim is quite popular, we posted the original version which features 3 Prodigy verses, because, well, they’re fire. Havoc doesn’t offer a full 16 bars on this track but his addition on the hook is just as dope as his production…
