Boston has never been seen as a “birthplace for hip-hop”. Lately, Boston artists have been making an extra push to earn the respect of hip-hop fans worldwide and solidify their city as a reputable grounds for breeding authentic hip-hop talent. Artists such as Moufy and The Dean’s List have earned their accolades from their success of the past few years, but there’s always new talent emerging. The latest MC on the brink of birth outside the walls of Boston hip-hop is Jeff Replay. The 19-year old artist is 1/3 of the collective called ‘Pilot Nation’. The group is in the process of compiling a mixtape collectively which at the moment, is slated for a spring release. “The Runway” holds its place as a promo single leading up to the official releases in the coming months. Knocking production from CPR, excellent camera work from Decriminals and no shortage of depth in his lines from Replay. I think we got one, Boston.

Hip-Hop, Trap | Baauer x Just Blaze – Higher
Posted by Grubeats on January 18, 2013
Lord have mercy. One of the best young innovators of Trap linking up with one of the legendary producers of Hip-Hop? You don’t have to tell me twice. This Jay-Z sampled “trap-hop” is the best of both worlds. Press play and set to repeat. Happy Friday.
Hip-Hop | The Notorious BIG – Juicy (Yinyues Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 16, 2013
Yinyues seems to be in a Hip-Hop/B.I.G mood this week. Again, I really love the piano with the Hip-Hop. If Yinyues is going to keep making beats like this I hope he keeps the piano. Unlike his last remix, this one isn’t a minute long. Hooray!

Hip-Hop | Iroc Mics & Tonio – T.W.A (Till We Arrive) [Prod by Potillo]
Posted by W8 on January 15, 2013
“Hard to be real when you can’t tell the difference.”
The latest from Texas duo, Tonio and Iroc Mics embodies a delightful blend of flavors that really hits home. Potillo underlies it with a smooth tempo, late Kanye-esq style beat that compliments the lyrics perfectly. I’ve been missing this hip-hop for a long time!

Hip-Hop | The Notorious BIG – Think Big (Yinyues Remix)
Posted by Mach on January 12, 2013
Yinyues produces slightly in the abstract, usually some form of chilled out Dubstep, which makes this remix a nice little treat. I really love the piano with the Hip-Hop beat, it is not something you encounter often. I always feel like some of the best tracks are too damn short. Not sure what was going through Yinyues head when he created this gem, but I wish it was longer than it is.

Hip-Hop | CRNKN – Toy Box
Posted by Mach on January 6, 2013
This turned out to be a pleasant surprise today. I have been diligently working on my top tracks of the year and needed a little break only to come across this phat Hip-Hop instrumental from CRNKN. In the comments all he says is that he was bored one day. Maybe he should be bored more and produce more Hip-Hop beats like this. Someone really needs to drop hot verses on this bad boy.
Events, Hip-Hop, Rap, Videos | Chance the Rapper – Secret Chicago Show (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on January 3, 2013
Chance? The Rapper? Yes, ladies and gentleman. Chance, the rapper. He’s here, and he’s here to stay. Chance had arguably one of the biggest years of anyone in the hip-hop game, and he will certainly do big things in 2013. Chance surprised his Twitter followers by announcing that he would be having a show 24 hours from then, and his Twitter followers responded by giving him the opportunity to perform in front of yet another sold out crowd. Only big things coming in 2013 for Mr. Bennett. Check out the video above and be on the look out for Acid Rap dropping sometime in the not so distant future.
