Albums, Hip-Hop | Dag Savage – E&J [Album]

In 2013 West-coast hip hop label, Dirty Science gained instant notoriety as one of the the genres premier labels when they birthed Denmark Vessey & Scud One’s album Cult Classic. Now in 2014 Dirty Science continues this habit of dropping dope full lengths by blessing us with the album E&J, by rapper Johaz and hyper-prolific producer Exile, who together form the group Dag Savage. For those that are familiar with Exile’s prowess on the MPC, you already know to expect, soul-laden, head-nodding beats that will leave you feeling like Sunday morning. For those that are just getting up on this music then Blu, Fashawn and Aloe Blacc will help serve you up a great introduction.
Trap | High Klassified – Broken Elbows

High Klassified, the FOOLSGOLD producer from Montreal, Canada is about to turn 21 later this month. Earlier today, perhaps of in celebration of this milestone of adulthood, he took to his Soundcloud to bless our ears with a new cut called ‘Broken Elbows’. The track leads with an out-of-character progressive sounding synth, but is quickly drowned out by his usual saturated key tones and pitch changing high hats. This snappy yet soulful track is a record that is best served (as the name suggests) slightly stoned.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Vulkan The Krusader – Echo Chamber (Prod. by Yakamoto Kotzuga)

NYC via FLA emcee Vulkan The Krusader has been locked away in his studio hard at work for the past year. The spoils are set to drop on Feb 14th, Valentines day in the form of VX13, featuring a 13 original joints that range from future boom bap to dream-wave chill, with collabs from Sean Price, Kyle Rapps and Spaceman and more.
Vulkan tells me that “Echo Chamber” was written from the perspective of a love struck homicidal maniac whom he read about in a newspaper article. Ranging from purposefully slightly off key vocals to his on-point, punchy delivery, this track serves as nice cross-section of his talents, but there is so much more, stay tuned.
Bass | Tinashe – Vulnerable (Jacuzzi Remix)

For those that are still unfamiliar with Jacuzzi, he’s a young budding producer out of Honolulu who’s been gaining momentum faster than a tsunami in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Recently he’s worked with Mr. Carmack, remixed Santigold’s ‘Disparate Youth’ and released an incredible EP of free original tunes. Jacuzzi’s penchant for arranging punchy staccato drum patterns and overlaying them with dark cinematic sounds has helped him create a signature style, garnering nods of approval from industry juggernauts like Bassnectar, Craze, Pretty Lights and more.
With his latest offering Jacuzzi puts his spin on Tinashe’s sultry R&B joint ‘Vulnerable’. The trap-ish drum progression, menacing strings and Japanese sounding woodwinds mingle quite nicely with Tinashe’s smokey voice in this late-night banger. In a world where everyone is waiting for a wild-ass drop, Jacuzzi shows restraint, keeps his cool and challenges you not to bounce along.

Hip-Hop | Alexander Spit Ft. Jay Ughh- Millions (Video)
Posted by Adrego on January 25, 2014
H5C got their start making un-sanctioned video’s for big names like Frank Ocean, Odd Future and The Weeknd. Their signature dream-scape visuals used common elements like drugs, sex and violence in a way that made the most vile of acts seem a bit more classy. The directing collective quickly gained notoriety in the L.A. scene and have since moved on to making official videos for some of the most cutting edge artists in the game.
Enter Alexander Spit and Jay Uggh, two very ill So Cal emcees who’s styles seem to draw from similar pools of influence. Each of these emcees bounce between a mid-west, rapid-fire delivery and the southern relaxed drawl that could have only originated from mixing copious amounts of lean, green and shrooms. The outcome is a sonic melting pot of trill vibes that will leave you wanting to hear more. If your feeling this joint be sure to stream or support the Dillinger album.
Deep House | London Grammar – Hey Now (Bodhi Remix)

In the ancient Sanskrit language the word Bodhi means awakened, which happens to be a perfect description for what the duo of the same name has done to this London Grammar tune. In it’s original form ‘Hey Now’ was a lax ambient joint with etherial vocals over a droning back drop, but Bodhi snapped and flipped it into a gorgeous dance floor banger with deep bass grooves and a house swing. If you’re patient and listen as the track lulls midway, it will culminate and liberate all inhibitions you may have had about dancing alone in your room.
