It seems like the new sound is the old sound. People are fiend-ing for that old-school hip-hop, and Juice is the dealer. His newest release “It’s Like That” is fully equip with vinyl scratches, 90’s drum kit, and of course a seamless delivery. Juice has been busy this summer before heading back off to school in the fall, so hopefully we’ll be getting some new music very soon!
Be on the look out for Juice to team back up with his brother and long-time rapping partner, Mojo, in the near future as well. Enjoy, and scoop up the free download. It’s like that y’all.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Little Pain – High Cry (Official Music Video)
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 18, 2013
I just read a pretty interesting write up on “Sad Rap” , and it seems like Little Pain is leading the revolution. Little Pain comes to you from Crown Heights, Brooklyn. At age of 21 Pain has only been rapping for about 4 or 5 months but has been “sad my whole life”. Pain is working on his “sadtape” entitled “When Thugz Cry” due out in 2013. One of the more interesting things to come out of hip hop, curious to see whats next for Little Pain.

Hip-Hop, RnB | SevnthWonder – Blame Sevnth
Posted by Mach on July 14, 2013
For those that don’t know, there is a huge movement taking place in the underground Hip-Hop world. A blend of Hip-Hop, Trap, R&B, and even a touch of Dubstep, the result has been artists such as Cashmere Cat, KR$CHN, Stwo, and many others. This is real instrumental magic, you don’t twerk to this or shake your tail feathers, do people still do that? Anyways, SeventhWonder is one of the top members in this movement in my opinion, and he has continually shown how strong he is in his productions. Bassey Trap, feel good vibes, and make her feel good vibes, this track has it all minus the bedsheets.

Drum & Bass | A Tribe Called Quest Ft. Faith Evans – Stressed Out (Lewd Behavior Remix)
Posted by Mach on July 11, 2013
As a member of the music blogging world I have seen my fair share of awful A Tribe Called Quest remixes, no one has seemed to understand the importance of verses in Hip-Hop in EDM. You see it everyday in Trap right now. Lewd Behavior didn’t make one of those remixes, in fact the Canadian producer is now responsible for one of the best remixes I have heard of the legendary Hip-Hop group. Life have you stressed out? Me too, but this remix will put your head in a good place.

Hip-Hop | Joey Bada$$ – Summer Knights (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on July 2, 2013
The sophomore mixtape from New York’s Joey Badass has finally arrived. To be personally honest the tape didn’t really do it for me. I enjoy the 90s sound that Joey has but with this tape, it didn’t bring that 1999 vibe that made Joey so big. Most of the songs off Summer Knights follow a more bassline heavy type that embrace his raps. Don’t get me wrong, I could listen to Joey’s raps for days but with a follow up mixtape, but I would have liked to see more diversity amongst the songs. All and all it definitely is still a must listen and download. I’m very interested to see where Joey goes from here, especially with who he signs with. Get familiar with Mr. Bada$$, because I he’s definitely one of the new faces of hip hop.
