Abstract Hip-Hop | Octave Minds – Tap Dance feat. Chance the Rapper and the Social Experiment
Posted by dshaq on September 3, 2014
I always am so interested to hear the beat whenever I see a new song with Chance on it. We’ve gone from “Back in this B***h” to “Everyday” now to this. I think this is Chance’s best release in a while and I think its the beat. I’ve been waiting for something playful and energetic, and with this it gives both the pretty nice vocals mixed with a upbeat verse. Everything about this song just works. Peep it below and definitely be sure to check out the Octave Minds guys with their album releasing September 15. Check out their other stuff on Soundcloud here, it’s quite fantastic.
Freestyle, Pop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Party In The U.S.A.
Posted by Grubeats on July 2, 2014
When it comes to being American, Cal and Rez are always proudly sporting the red, white, & blue. With their recent album After Hours marinating on the charts, Timeflies haven’t been releasing weekly TFT’s as I’m sure you have hoped. Remixing Miley is more or less a staple of their game at this point, so what would be more American than flipping “Party In The U.S.A.” for their first freestyle in the past few weeks? Well, I can think of a few others, but this one definitely hits the nail on the head as we head into Independence weekend. So with that, kick back or turn up, but whatever you do, toast to the greatest country in the world.

Hip-Hop, Videos | ShowYouSuck – All Wavy Everything
Posted by dshaq on April 15, 2014
Damn. This video is truly something different and is just as much fun to watch as it is to listen to. Chicago MC ShowYouSuck has been around the Chicago scene for a minute but I think with a video like this it, and he, can go viral. The beat was produced by Peter Cottontale and Mike Jaxx and the video was directed by Aaron Perkins Jr. With a fantastic flow from ShowYouSuck, this whole piece is way too on point. Definitely make sure to give this a watch, I’m sure it shouldn’t disappoint.

Chill, Electronic | PHVSMO – You’ve Been
Posted by BP on March 16, 2014
We don’t have a downtempo category, but that is what I would put this in if I could. PHVSMO, from Nevada, just released this chill masterpiece for free for us. The art for this track accurately describes the vibe in a visual way. “You’ve Been” is trippy, drippy, and mellow. If you’re not familiar with PHVSMO that’s the usual style we hear. This track really grabs me because of the vocal sampling and chopped and screwed type of sound. You will definitely be able to drift away to this one!
Electro, Hip-Hop, Trap | Cashmere Cat – Rice Rain (Twinztrack Remix)
Posted by yabishcic on February 15, 2014
This rework of Cashmere Cat‘s “Rice Rain” is fun and catches your attention right off the bat. Personally, I love the use of the rain drop sample… so perfectly constructed. Twinztrack is definitely on my radar now.
Hip-Hop | K Theory – Word Is Bond feat. KTSB (NSFW)
Posted by Nick on February 6, 2014
So, like, not to be on a vulgar streak or anything, but this is probably one of my favorite K Theory songs to date, and I’ve been waiting on the release for a while. Definitely about to be your new guilty pleasure, “Word Is Bond” will make you want to sing along for no apparent reason – just make sure you’re alone, because this track is definitely NSFW (see the lyrics in the Soundcloud Description). With big bass and a bold, provocative sound, this song is for sure worth the free download, and a great reason to keep your eye on its San Francisco-based creator(s).
