Hip-Hop | Childish Gambino – We Ain’t Them
Posted by dshaq on May 16, 2012
After embarking on a twitter rant for the record books, Donald Glover graced us with the link to a new track in between defending himself from internet nobodies. It frustrates me seeing how this guy is treated(and tweeted). People need to accept Childish Gambino for what he is. He’s a comedian, who can make a damn good beat, and kills it every time. His talents are un matched in the music game right now, and also has the ability to produce, act, all the while getting laughs, and hate. This hate has made him who he is, if he didn’t get hated on, he would probably run out of material, being that most of his songs are reflective of his past. Without further adieu, I’ll let you dissect Gambino’s newest track, We Ain’t Them. And haters, try this, stop having a preconcieved notion in your head of what a rapper is SUPPOSED to be, and just try and enjoy the damn music.
Hip-Hop, Indie | The Knocks – All We Got (Brenton Duvall Remix ft. One Room & Kardinal Offishall)
Posted by dshaq on May 16, 2012
Brenton Duvall unleashes this remix featuring the Knocks, One Room, and Kardinal Offishall. Tinkering with the beat, Brenton mixes “The amazing rap/singing/magic/production group One Room, aka Samuel & Chris P”, words from the man himself, and Kardinal Offishall. With finals either done or approaching, this song is perfect for unwinding from some stress and relaxing to. Salute Brenton and this new track by hitting him up on his Facebook and Twitter below, and yes he is verified.
Hip-Hop, RnB | Sid Sriram – Elevate ft. Sonny Shotz
Posted by Grubeats on May 15, 2012
You may recognize the name, Sid Sriram, from his feature on The Dean’s List debut album, Generation X. Honing his powerful vocals from his bodacious hook on “Youth”, Sid slows it down and delivers a more soulful and almost trippy track. As expected, Sonny returns the favor, lending a feature verse on this new track. It’s safe to say there will be plenty more collaborative work from these two in the future.
Also, if my memory serves me correctly, I heard Sid was a roommate of Mik Beats (of The Dean’s List) freshman year at Berklee, which is where this relationship first began.

Hip-Hop | What’s in Dshaq’s Tape Deck Vol.2
Posted by dshaq on May 14, 2012
For all you Hip-Hop people, I’m back with a brand new edition. This is to give you the latest up and comers who have got me playing their stuff 24/7, or something like that. Last time involved some A$AP Rocky, Action Bronson, Phony Ppl, Logic, G-Eazy, Danny Brown, and Skizzy Mars, but I’m back with 5 different artists for your listening pleasure. Without further ado, let’s begin.
1) Chance The Rapper
Chance The Rapper has been on repeat since hearing his 10Day mixtape. Going in on various types of beats, Chance shows his versatility throughout the whole tape and combined together, it makes for one of the best mixtapes of 2012. With a unique voice and a sharp wit, Chance has a style so incomparable to anyone today, which is part of the appeal. Don’t sleep on Chance, he’s gonna be big!
2) Chief Keef
Chief Keef is a touchy subject for most people. A love-hate relationship is a great way to describe him with people. To me, Keef makes some good stuff. Now I know what you’re thinking, “A white kid loves wildin’ out to Chief Keef and his trap musik?”. The answer to that question is, YES, HELL YES I DO. He may not be the best technical rapper, but god does he know how to make some jams, which I guess could be attributed to Young Chop’s success, but nonetheless its awesome. Grab his latest mixtape, and make sure to download 3HUNNA. Next time you’re at a party, throw on some Chief Keef and get crazy.
3) Meek Mill
Okay, so Meek Mill may not be an up and comer, but wow did that Dreamchasers 2 mixtape totally blow my mind. The beats on that thing, in particular the “Amen” one, only made him sound that much better on it. I’m just a fan of everything he does, especially choosing to sign with Rick Ross. After a mixtape like this and an album due out in the Summer, this MMG product is on his way to making an even big name for himself.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Hi-Rez – The Window
Posted by LoffyG on May 14, 2012
DOWNLOAD: Hi-Rez – The Window [Mixtape]
Fort. Lauderdale, Florida rapper Hi-Rez finally drops his anticipated mixtape, The Window. After dropping numerous songs off the project such as “X-Problems”, “On The Clock” and “A Meaning” I was impressed with Hi-Rez’s production behind beats and delivery with verses. After taking time and listening to the entire mixtape a few times over I’ve got to say this, Hi-Rez and his music have grown a lot over this past year. From the songs themselves down to the videos that accompany them. The #RezNation that follows has continued to steadily grow along with him as well. Now pushing over 12,600 Twitter followers and 26,000 likes on Facebook. If you’re looking to switch it up and listen to something new give this a try and let us know what you think in the comments below!
Hip-Hop | Mike Posner ft. Huey Mack – Looks Like Sex (Remix)
Posted by LoffyG on May 14, 2012
Huey Mack adds a verse to Mike Posner’s popular song “Looks Like Sex” off his upcoming album Sky High, making it a remix. I’m definitely feeling Huey’s addition to the song, it’s short but on point. Huey has been dropping music on the regular lately and I respect when artists do that. It always leaves the iPod with something fresh on the playlist. If you missed Huey’s recent mixtape release A Boy Named Hue, grab there here.
