Hip-Hop | J. Cole – Grew Up Fast (Prod. by Canei Finch)
Posted by Grubeats on February 22, 2012
Cole took to his twitter to release a free new joint entitled, “Grew Up Fast” earlier this morning. No word whether or not this is the official single off his sophomore album which we can expect this upcoming summer, but Cole unleashes some steam and shares his two cents on what’s happening to hip-hop.
Hip-Hop | Devin Miles – 412/215 ft. Tayyib Ali
Posted by Grubeats on February 22, 2012
Pittsburgh native, Devin Miles, was fortunate to have a chance to grab a verse from Tayyib Ali who was breezing through the studio. Representing their respective area codes, Devil Miles delivers a strong first verse before the prince of Philly comes in with an impressive verse of his own. Lot of talent coming out of PA these days. Just to clarify, several blogs have labeled this track as Tayyib’s, but in fact it is Devin’s with a feature from Tay and will not be featured on any of Ali’s upcoming projects.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Maye Star – The Takeover [Video]
Posted by Grubeats on February 21, 2012
Maye Star unleashed the second single off his upcoming mixtape, Mayehem, scheduled to drop sometime in April. Backed by some light brass, soothing strings, and melodic keys “The Takeover” gives us an introduction into what we’re about to hear from Boston’s own Maye Star. Maye exercises his ability to rattle off words at a very fast pace, which is something I’d love to see Maye do more often. #DreamTeam

Hip-Hop | G-Eazy – Marilyn (ft. Dominique LeJeune)
Posted by dshaq on February 21, 2012
G-Eazy goes with all original production on this nice laid back track. Recruiting a good voice for the hook, G throws some nice bars on this one. This is more of an emotional side that we haven’t really seen from Gerald, but still delivers nonetheless. Hit G up on Facebook and Twitter and check back for more.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Logic – The Spotlight [Video]
Posted by Grubeats on February 21, 2012
At this point in time, there is nothing better than new logic in my eardrums. Taking a detour from the first single off his upcoming mixtape (still untitled), Logic has some fun going in over the Justice sampled track, “D.A.N.C.E.”. When I heard Wale go in on this beat a couple years back, it’s since been a staple for any party playlist I compile. With an infusion of electro and disco, Logic (being a fellow DMV artist) maintains his lyrical aggression delivering a sequence of lines that you’ll be reciting for days on days on days. It’s cool to see Logic switch up his sound from his previous single, “Young Sinatra III”, which was a very raw sounding hip-hop track, but maintain his consistency at the same time.
I’m warning you now kids, you’re witnessing the birth of hip-hop’s next star. Being featured in XXL Magazine’s “The Break” just yesterday, this kid’s going to be everywhere before you can spell “Bobby Soxer” backwards. If you’re not with the movement, join in below and make sure to check his previous single YS3 after the break. The mp3 will be released once the video reaches a certain number of views. V’s up. #Visionary

Hip-Hop | Kid Cudi – Dose of Dopeness (Produced by Dot Da Genius)
Posted by Middy on February 21, 2012
Dot Da Genius decided to drop this song that he and Kid Cudi originally recorded back in 2008. Youtube rips of the song have been circulating the web since then and now you can get rid of those and listen to the finished product. Kid Cudi brings us back to his style and flow like his works on Man On The Moon accompanied by a smooth beat of varying percussive elements and a piano melody that carries the song from start to finish. Yes I did just publish a Hip Hop post so enjoy this dose of dopeness.

Posted by Mach on February 21, 2012
OFWGKTA is back with something that the word dope just doesn’t really describe properly. Tyler, The Creator has directed some insane videos of OFWGKTA’s, now including this. This track is set to drop off of their upcoming mixtape, OF Tape Vol. 2, on March 20th. This is truly just another top notch release from the gang. I can’t wait for the mixtape to drop, #GOLFWANG
