Albums, Hip-Hop | CJ Trillo – Volume 1: Nostalgia
Posted by LoffyG on November 5, 2013
Nearly 2 years ago one of our writers, W8, introduced me to a very dope and underrated artist that is CJ Trillo. Ever since then, I’ve kept CJ projects in heavy rotation due to his pure lyrical originality and smooth productions, which are for the most part created by his right hand man, Jim IE. Today he released his fourth project, Volume 1: Nostalgia. CJ said that this project is everything in him that he’s wanted to release, but was always too self-conscious to in the past. He’s finally reached the point in his artistic career where he’s grown past the concern of how other people view him. With that being said, he has finally allowed himself to vocalize and create all the ideas and vibes he’s wanted to since he first started rapping back in 2009. Listen and download the full project below and get to know CJ in this recent interview about Volume 1: Nostalgia.

Hip-Hop, Rap | Lucas G – EavesDrop Instrumental
Posted by yabishcic on October 5, 2013
Lucas G is a producer based out of Chicago that’s been throwing down some super dope instrumentals lately. EavesDrop is one of my favorites but most of his music is perfect for all you aspiring rappers out there. A great example of what artists can do with his productions is Valentino’s ‘Blues’, produced by Lucas G. With a perfect blend of hi-hats, bass, and incorporation of the sample, there’s no way your ears won’t fall for this instrumental.
RnB | Sia ft. The Weeknd & Diplo – Elastic Heart
Posted by VMan on October 1, 2013
Straight off the Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack, “Elastic Heart” by Sia featuring The Weeknd and Diplo. This track is super dope, what a great collaboration! Diplo delivers with his reggae infused production, and Sia and The Weeknd do their thing on it! From the looks of it the whole Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack is going to be jam packed with tracks by Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, Lorde, Santigold, Of Monsters and Men, Lumineers and more! This one is a must listen!
Electronic, Trap | N.E.R.D. & Daft Punk – Hypnotize You (Nero Remix) (Kennedy Jones Trap Bootleg)
Posted by mimada on October 1, 2013
I’m just gonna cut to the chase and say this Kennedy Jones remix is mad dope. Go ahead and file this one under “Songs To Play At Pregames That Make Everyone Turn Up And Your Musically Inclined Friends Ask You For The Track ID.” Nero’s remix of the original NERD track was great and all, but Kennedy took it one step further and it turned out traptastic. Hey, you know while you’re at, you might as well check out the entire Buygore All Stars album fo freeeee right here.

Chill | Weep – I Know U Got Work
Posted by VMan on September 26, 2013
Throwback Thursday to 4 months ago, Weep dropped “I Know U Got Work,” a beautiful instrumental piece with dope chopped samples that flow. You can choose to vibe out to this one, or move to it. I know personally, I can’t get enough of this track. I wouldn’t be mad either if MCs hopped on this one, the beat knocks: it has melody, soul, and elements of trap. Do yourself a favor, stream this tune, and download it, it’s a MUST!!
