Hip-Hop | BENZI – Sunscreen (Happy Ending Fridays Mixtape)
Posted by Juicebox on August 1, 2011
A little hesitant to use the album art as it features my gf, but whatever. DJ Benzi hit us with a nice little DJ mix of some straight classics mixed with some of the latest…bump it. Perfect summer mix (is it even still summer, kill me).

Hip-Hop | J. Cole – Any Given Sunday (5 Track EP)
Posted by GMONEY on August 1, 2011
With the release of Cole World: The Sideline Story creeping up on us, J. Cole just delivered some big news. In an effort to promote the album, Cole will be releasing some new material every Sunday. For the first week J. Cole released a 5 track EP, but before you jump out of your chair with excitement let me remind you that you may have heard a few of these tracks before. Nonetheless this is a treat and a tease for all hip-hop fans. Below is some commentary from the man himself. Cole World, September 27th.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | M. Will The Shogun- Northern Lights Mixtape
Posted by ATexas on July 31, 2011
M. Will The Shogun’s new album. No, he’s not a rapping, but producing and doing a damn good job at it. M. Will the Shogun is, according to rumors, producing Mac Miller’s new album. Can’t wait. Anyways its a lot of trip-hop,a side of etherealness and dope verbal slams. Not a good source for body bangers, but a lot of chill music that’s good to end the night on. It is the musical equal to the cool down of a workout even though it is a hot as hell(and possibly Texas) mixtape. GDPN brings me back to Zion I’s glory days, om nom nom delicious. “Megustas” is just amazingly produced, I honestly cannot get enough of it and its rawness of the lyrics and the vocals. That might be a personal thing. And of course, Whatever, which has been dropped for a couple days is dope as Mac always is. Northern Lights features a mixture of artists including Termanology and NERO.

The boys at 1st Round have been quietly preparing the release of G Curtis’ debut album Maximum Volume, set to drop this Tuesday. The dubstep remix below features the harmonizing voice of G Curtis behind Visions top notch production. Here’s what they had to say about this project.
After completing a Nationwide House of Blues tour with label mate Sam Adams, G Curtis went straight to the studio to complete his solo album; Maximum Volume. G Curtis worked diligently with 1st Round’s head producer, Matty Trump to create the proper sound for each track. Even though the album falls under the R&B genre, G Curtis expanded his repertoire by exploring Hip Hop, Soul, and Electronic music. G Curtis and 1st Round’s head A&R Zack Johnson searched high and low for the best features for his album. Collaborations include Sam Adams, Cal of Timefles, Cam Meekins, PJ Simas, and 1st Round’s newest artist; Luvi. G Curtis is releasing two music videos directed by Rex Arrow highlighting the singles Weekend Girlfriend & We Made it. Maximum Volume will be available for purchase on ITunes Tuesday August, 2nd,2011 . This album is brought to you by, Brobible, FreshNewTracks & 1st Round.

Videos | Mac Miller Explains “Blue Slide Park” Title
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 27, 2011
Props to MTV for asking this question and even bigger props to Mac Miller for providing a thoughtful response. Nowadays album titles, song titles, etc seem like mindless tasks for some artists, but fortunately this restored some of my faith in the artists that run this hip hop show. More importantly, this just goes to show how invested and passionate Miller is about his music career.
Electro | The M Machine – Trafalgar
Posted by Middy on July 25, 2011
We have known of this project that has been rumored to be Porter Robinson and Skrillex, but most signs point to this being the new name of Pance Party. It has been so secret that it almost seemed too good to be true. Their twitter is private, their facebook gives little to no information and everything about this project has been shrouded in speculation and secrecy. The album preview is absolutely absurd and though the video has been out a while, you can see why people have wanted them to start releasing songs. I don’t know how they kept wraps on this but this song is fire. This song is a great debut for the group and I am excited for what is to come from them.
MUST DL
