Hip-Hop | Chance the Rapper – Acid Rain
Posted by dshaq on February 21, 2013
Chance drops off the second single from his highly anticipated mixtape, ACID RAP. The beat is a nice relaxing melody with a great lead guitar. This one reminds me a lot of Brain Cells from 10Day. New Chance makes us all happy campers so savor this one till the next release/tape drops.
Electro | Parker Ighile – So Beautiful (Tim Gunter 808 Bootleg)
Posted by dshaq on February 6, 2013
As always, Tim Gunter delivers another phenomenal piece of music. This time he goes for more of the laid back mood in his electronic track. Taking Parker Ighile’s great vocals and adding beautiful synths with a good bass line and the 808, Tim is again showing his versatility. I keep saying it, but watch out for Timmy Gunter. He’s got beats for days.
