Hip-Hop, Rap | Vic Mensa – Time Is Money (ft. Rockie Fresh & Beldina)
Posted by admin on August 1, 2013
Since Chicago rock/rap band, Kids These Days, disbanded a few months back, rapper Vic Mensa has been busy working and building up as a solo rap act. After the take off of childhood friend, Chance the Rapper’s, music it seems only right that Vic is the next to blow from Chicago.
“Time Is Money” is the newest blessing off of INNANETAPE, Vic’s forthcoming mixtape. The song features a verse from fellow Chi-town rapper, Rockie Fresh, as well as some killer production credits from Boi 1da & The Maven Boys. With two other singles already out, the project is shaping up to be a big one from the young emcee. Although one chapter of his music career has closed, a brand new chapter was opened and it seems that plenty of old and new fans have quickly flocked to his relatable lyricism and infectious sound.
Catch all of Mensa’s other music on his Soundcloud and come back -hopefully- soon for INNANETAPE. Savemoney.

Electro-House, Preview | DallasK – Heaven (Preview)
Posted by Middy on July 13, 2013
DallasK has quietly had himself an outstanding year with several critically acclaimed originals like “Alienz” and “Vice“. The Kindergarten Records signee and Wolfgang Gartner understudy presents the preview to his latest original as he approaches a significant social media milestone in his young and promising career. As a thank you to his nearly 20k Facebook fans (he is at just over 19k now), he has previewed a track he will be giving away when he hits that number. In this age when artists can explode in popularity overnight and their social media numbers explode in kind, many do not want to give out very good material because these milestones come too often. From what we can hear in the 51 seconds of “Heaven”, it sounds as though DallasK is giving out a quality addition to his discography, using a well-placed Killers sample.
Hip-Hop, Rap | No Trace – The Wakeup Call (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on June 26, 2013
Be weary folks, I am in fact posting a mixtape by two 16 year old rappers. I know that’s an immediate turn off for most of you, and I respect that, but if you can, lend your ears to the two youngesters not legally allowed to buy a pack of cigarettes from 7/11. The duo of No Trace has released their sophomore effort, which is perfect because they are also sophomores in high school. Now when you listen through this tape, which I would reccomend, be aware that some of their music might hit you as a tad immature or boyish, but that’s because they’re just that. Forget the lack of beautiful album artwork and other aesthetics and just listen to the raw talent of these kids. These two 16 year olds are setting themselves up for a rap career, the potential is there, and they will likely be cashing in on it in the years to come. So grab the mixtape below and be on the lookout for these two making moves.

Centered around the indie-styled vocals of Marcus Azon, Vlad Lucan adds his own easygoing melody that blends well with the original track and makes this both danceable and very soothing to listen to at the same time.

Posted by Middy on June 12, 2013
The latest from Nicky Romero’s Protocol Recordings, Dutch producer Don Diablo tabs rising pop singers, Alex Clare and Kelis to lay down some great vocals alongside his bouncy, booming instrumental, with CID helping on the rework. Are the vocals a little cheesy, yes, but they are really catchy and will get stuck in your head. After a decade-long career plugging away in relative unknown of the worldwide audience, Don Diablo is making his presence not only with this track, but also his upcoming single on Axtone “Starlight (You Could Be Mine)”. There is a trap VIP mix of this track set for release some time soon on Sony.
