Hip-Hop | Vic Mensa – Wimme Nah (Smoko Ono Remix)
Posted by dshaq on September 4, 2014
Fresh off his release the other day, Smoko Ono decides to drop a very very nice remix to Vic Mensa’s Wimme Nah. A little more wavy than the OG, it bangs. I’m digging everything this guys putting out so definitely make sure to peep this as well as his other stuff. Enjoy.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Octave Minds – Tap Dance feat. Chance the Rapper and the Social Experiment
Posted by dshaq on September 3, 2014
I always am so interested to hear the beat whenever I see a new song with Chance on it. We’ve gone from “Back in this B***h” to “Everyday” now to this. I think this is Chance’s best release in a while and I think its the beat. I’ve been waiting for something playful and energetic, and with this it gives both the pretty nice vocals mixed with a upbeat verse. Everything about this song just works. Peep it below and definitely be sure to check out the Octave Minds guys with their album releasing September 15. Check out their other stuff on Soundcloud here, it’s quite fantastic.
Abstract Hip-Hop | Flying Lotus – Never Catch Me (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)
Posted by dshaq on September 3, 2014
Woah. Not expecting that. It has been a minute since Kendrick has graced our ears with new music, and today’s release is something a little different. Having FlyLo on the production is something I find very fitting for the two, who both have unique sounds that clearly work pretty well together on this track. I believe there is a new album in the works and set to be coming out pretty soon. Look for that and more releases to come and enjoy the track below.
Electro | Basenji – Heirloom
Posted by dshaq on August 29, 2014
I was quite surprised when I went on Soundcloud and saw this one at the top of my feed. I have been waiting for the full version of this song ever since Wave Racer’s Diplo & Friends mix and TYBG it’s here. This song is mind-blowing, stuck in your head for the next 3 weeks, listen to any time of the day good. Keep clicking repeat, you know I will. Click the Soundcloud jump below for a free download!
Hip-Hop | Smoko Ono – ROAD RUNNER ft. Njomza
Posted by dshaq on August 20, 2014
So remember that dude who produced Vic Mensa’s huge track Feel That? That same dude, Smoko Ono, is now moving onto bigger and better things. Case and point with his brand new track featuring the Chicago songstress and Most Dope artist, Njomza. The track starts up slow but really gains its character with the build up. Is this is any indication on what Smoko’s upcoming EP, Slackin & Mackin, which will be released this fall, then it’s definitely going to be big. Peep the song below and get affiliated with the man crafting a lot of the beats behind Chicago hip-hop.
Electro | Arcade Fire – Afterlife (Flume Remix)
Posted by dshaq on August 11, 2014
So if you read my Lolla post, you’d understand that Flume was easily my favorite show at Lolla and probably one of my favorite artists out right now. So to my surprise 10 minutes ago I saw he released a brand new song, with another Dshaq favorite Arcade Fire. This track is crazy, it takes all of your previous knowledge of Flume and throws it out the window. Another slow build up, meets a funky deep house drum kit and he just rides that out for the whole track, tweaking the vocals, which all come together nicely. Even though its 10 minutes, it’s worthwhile. Enjoy.
Trap | Rell The Soundbender X Styles & Complete – MTHAFKA
Posted by dshaq on August 11, 2014
Simply put, this song bangs. A simple intro and hook combined with a very very good drop…and boom your party playlist just got 20x better. Via SMOG Records, Rell The Soundbender releases his brand new EP tomorrow. If this is anything like the rest of the EP, count me in. Shouts to Styles & Complete too for the dope collab. All around great track, so peep it and buy it below.
