Electronic, Trap | Phazz – Lionheart
Posted by mimada on July 11, 2014
By now, you should already be familiar with French producer Phazz and the majority of his repertoire, so allow me to introduce you rather to the startup label that brings us this fresh new track. Meet youtellme, a London based platform focused on sharing music from eclectic, genre-defying artists from all over the map. This addicting electronic-trap jam is the first release off their freshman compilation volume, which features a superb variety of artists that you hopefully haven’t yet heard of but won’t be able to stop listening once you do. Trust me, youtellme is telling you the right things to listen to.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Gio Dee – Saturdayz (Prod By Muvafux)
Posted by VMan on December 10, 2013
Preparing for his upcoming album, “Fashionably Late 2”, Boston native Gio Dee releases visuals for “Saturdayz.” This is one of the tracks that didn’t make it onto his freshman tape back in 2011, “This Is Only The Beginning.” “Saturdayz” was shot entirely down in Philly during a recent performance down in the Keystone State and also some scenes were shot down in Atlanta during A3C. This is a must listen!

Hip-Hop | SplYt – Catch 22 (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 23, 2012
I had never heard the name SplYt(split) before until a few weeks ago when his manager dropped something in the chatbox, I had time, so I gave it a listen and wasn’t impressed. Sure, the kid has some flow, and the beat was decent, but I had no idea it could lead to a project like this. Every beat is carefully chosen, and each one if murdered in its own respect. Keep in mind that SplYt is new to the game, this is his freshman tape, and he shows loads of potential. Of course, there are some things that he could do better, but it would be a crime not to post this. This kid is going places. I’ve had enough with the over saturation in the rap game, and I can’t stand MCs that don’t do anything unique, but this kid just has straight talent.

Let me introduce you to Kyle Bent. He is a 14 year old, yes 14 year old, rapper from Randolph, Mass, a suburb of Boston. This high school freshman supplies us with a good flow and a quick wit. Definitely check his stuff out and look back for more. Check him out on Facebook

Mashups | Mr. Rogers Productions – Waka A La Playa
Posted by GMONEY on July 16, 2011
Before remixing was all the rage and the good old Butler was just a college freshman, Vamos A La Playa capped a party that included skiing down staircases, a few over-the-top urination stories, and some babes getting naked (nah, not really). Anyway, this is a dope mashup by Mr. Rodgers. It sounded good today.
Dubstep | Wick-it, Costello, and Wonkap & Torrid | Dubstep
Posted by Mach on June 19, 2011
This is like an older pretty lights style, that is until Wick-it drops some sweet wobbles. The vocals fit nice with the beat he remixed in. Definitely adding this one to the summer dubstep playlist.

I posted a Udachi remix a few weeks ago, the last one was a little more on the dutch side. This track has a dutchy vibe itself, but uses basslines and wobble a little bit more. I would go as far to say that this is a sick ‘dutchstep’ track.

It’s about that time in a post when I put in a heavy track. First listening to this I was really disappointed in the lame continuation of the original beat. Damn was I surprised when this track dropped like a freshman after a strike out.
