Posted by Mach on June 15, 2012
First played on Skream & Benga’s BBC Radio 1 show, Kastle just released this today and wow. This remix is pure sex, his tweaking of the beat made this a true bedroom track. JMSN has that smooth Weeknd style that everyone loves to love to. This is the track you want to play later tonight.
RnB | Hodgy Beats – fordab*tches
Posted by Mach on June 10, 2012
A little late but I wont worry about it if you don’t, aka as long as you are feeling this tune like I am. Hodgy Beats hinted on twitter that he had something in store for the ladies. Didn’t think it would have been so soon fordab*tches to recognize. Hodgy goes hard on a lot of his work, but he can definitely control his verses to which ever style he’s feeling in the moment. Smooth and saucy, this porn funkadelic vibed track is a tasty treat. Whether your just another dude looking for a fun night or one of those ladies this track was meant for, it is worth the listen either way.

RnB | Frank Ocean – Pyramids
Posted by J_Salzer on June 8, 2012
I don’t need a snappy intro or hook to draw you in with this song. The song is by Frank Ocean, and that’s all you need to know. Frank doesn’t fail to impress with this one, the first single off of his upcoming album, Pyramids, is a hit. Heads up, the song is 10 minutes long, and it gets a bit repetitive at some points, but damn, is Frank Ocean a talent, this song perfectly showcases his songwriting and vocal abilities. He seems to have cut his public affiliation with Odd Future to a minimum, which shows he’s taking his career as a singer seriously, even if he might not be having as much fun as Taco, Jasper, Tyler and the rest of the gang. After hearing Pyramids, I can’t wait to hear his debut album, Channel Orange coming soon.

Posted by dshaq on May 30, 2012
Grab this right now! Although this is rather hard to put into one specific genre, it is unique and phenomenal. Combining captivating guitar riffs, powerful vocals, quality rhymes,and even grabbing features from two of Hip-Hop’s legends, Nas and Common, Cocaine80s makes this brand new EP a must have. My standout tracks are Take My Keys and This Can’t Be a Crime.
Cover, RnB | Ellie Goulding – High For This (Remix) [Prod. Xaphoon Jones]
Posted by dshaq on May 30, 2012
I wasn’t too sure of what to expect when I saw that Ellie Goulding covered a Weeknd track, but man was I blown away. The British songstress easily gives the OG a run for its money. What Xaphoon Jones did with this beat is amazing, changing the sound completely. Hopefully there are more Xaphoon/Ellie collabs in the future because this one is fire.

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.
