When you live with a “summertime, all the time” attitude, the sun is always shining, the beats always bounce, and confidence is always at its highest. For his latest release, Viceroy takes the 4 member band, Brett’s, fresh single, “Confidence (Confidence x Kate Moss)” and revamps it with his fiery fahrenheit flavor.

Someone get Rez a buffalo chicken pizza, please! Tour life appears to be running smoothly for Timeflies, still with 22 stops left, the duo heads West, but not until they flip the Ray Charles classic, “Hit The Road Jack”. Grab your tickets before they sell out, because judging by the footage in this video, it’s not a scene you’ll want to miss.
Hip-Hop, Videos | QuESt – Angels & Demons
Posted by Grubeats on October 4, 2012
Donald Glover may have made this beat famous with “Freaks & Geeks”, but QuESt just did one hell of a job playing the role. Consider this a floating freebie until QuESt’s next project, which will likely thrill you in early spring , ’13.
“I wrote this song as a prelude to what I’m creating next. We all have angels and demons in our lives, sometimes it’s just harder to figure out who’s who.” – QuESt
Hip-Hop | Aziz – Preview ft. Tayyib Ali (Prod. by Cardo)
Posted by Grubeats on October 4, 2012
New Hampshire native, Aziz, recently linked up with Philly burner, Tayyib Ali, jointly deciding to give us a Preview of what the two are capable of producing. Taking advantage of Cardo’s recent free beat tape, Groove, the two wild boys spark off a friendly reminder of what’s in their pockets as well as what’s on the horizon. This marks the third single off Aziz’s upcoming mixtape, Tinderboxxx, which will be released next Wednesday, October 10th. Don’t be surprised if Aziz lets another raw cut go before next week.
Freestyle, Videos | Timeflies: Episode 6 – Freestyle [The Clocumentary]

Far too often an artists “freestyles” are not actually freestyles. While this art was founded off the skill of improvising over any given beat, far too often pre-written verses create a deceptive impression of the select artists’ capabilities. Typically, you can tell if an artist is rattling off a pre-written verse, or if they’re spitting completely off the dome, but sometimes artists will mix pre-written bars with threads of free’s. Cal, of Timeflies, is one young artist who actually “freestyles” when he claims to be. The latest episode of The Clocumentary features Cal’s rare abilities to ad-lib whatever topics are being fed to him. We all know, nothing gets a party or a live show going like a live freestyle. Cal, props to you my friend.
Hip-Hop, Videos | YONAS – Don’t Give A Damn [Music Video]

YONAS Nation, open your eyes and ears to the newest set of visual art for the Bronx bomber’s lead single off his most recent mixtape, The Transition. The most significant news of late is of course YONAS’ newly inked record deal with 1st Round Records, which may be just the platform he needs to catapult into the realm of hip-hops heavyweights. With a, “Don’t Give A Damn” attitude, YONAS once again linked up with his crew at Betterdays Media for a boisterous poolside shoot, solidifying this record as “the party hit” aiming to keep summer alive. Transparent to any negativity, YONAS continues to push for positivity, showing his fans just how to incorporate a lyrical message into an upbeat, fun track. With production by Sean Ross, this has been my go to playlist record off the mixtape since it dropped back in June.
“Just for the record I don’t smoke, but I might light it up if I was down at Michael Phelps’ house, hah”
Phelps is the best swimmer and arguably the best Olympian of all time, but have you ever seen him eat pizza under water? Riddle me that. It has been confirmed YONAS is working on his new EP, which can be expected on ??/??/????. Stay tuned! #YONASNation

Hip-Hop, Rap | Kendrick Lamar – Compton ft. Dr. Dre + Album Tracklist
Posted by Grubeats on October 2, 2012
October 22nd can’t come soon enough. Although Kendrick has now released four of the deluxe 17 tracks, no fan is satisfied. When you have an aura like Kendrick Lamar, too much is never enough. After hearing one banger from Dot and Doc in “The Recipe”, the Cali kings return with an organic track produced by Just Bliggity Blaze chanting for the one and only city of “Compton”. I’ve included the recently released track listing for the album after the break. Strap up, this is the future.
