Mashups | DOSVEC – Drank
Posted by CHAZZZ on August 6, 2012
If you’re not a Twitter fiend you might not know that “Drank” by Kendrick Lamar dropped late last week. DOSVEC spotted it early and has already thrown together a filthy mash-up blending “Drank” with the Candyland remix of the popular remix of “Sandstorm” by Candyland, creating the perfect song to combat end-of-summer blues. Kendrick Lamar and Darude (Candyland Remix) might seem like unlikely collaborators, but in DOSVEC’s skilled hands the mashup really soars. Grab this track today and make your Monday morning feel like a Friday night. And as always, support him on Twitter and Facebook to get updates on upcoming projects.
Also, be sure to check out the awesome visuals for this song after the jump. READ ON >>
Hip-Hop, Videos | Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools (Drank) [Music Video]

K.Dot continues to grasp the attention of his audience and naysayers alike with songs like this. Although the message behind this song may not be conducive to the “rapper image”, the underlying issue is one that needs to be addressed by artists with the knowledge to back it. Coming off an outstanding first single, “The Recipe”, featuring Dr. Dre smoothly reciting verses kindly written by Kendrick himself, the up and coming Compton icon releases a wavy track about the effects of alcohol, better suited for the intellectual listeners.
Will the release of his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, solidify Lamar as one of the best in the game? Hold off on answering that until October 2nd. Purchase “Swimming Pools (Drank)” on iTunes now.

Towards the end of last April I posted this remix of Kendrick Lamar’s “The Recipe” by Gaines. He just released the official visuals to go along with the track. On August 1st he will also be re-releasing his most recent project calling it, The Night Crawler: Reloaded. It will contain some extra tracks along with the ones previously, so be on the lookout for that!

Outside Mario Kart 64 and the occasional game of Wii ping pong, I’m not much of a gamer. I do however know that gamers love music. What better way to get you amped up for the release of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier video game which hits stores at midnight than a new track from Compton’s finest young gun. So while you’re waiting in line tonight with your Taco Bell party pack and 6 pack of Monster, let this one run through your headphones. For those of you non-gamers, still give this a listen cause we all know new K. Dot is nothing less than spectacular.
Hip-Hop | Black Hippy – Black Lip Bastard (Remix)
Posted by dshaq on May 10, 2012
Black Hippy, comprised of California boys Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, SchoolBoy Q, and Jay Rock, team up together to go in on this beautiful track. The lyrical content is above and beyond anything I’ve heard in a long time. Beginning with Kendrick and ending with Jay, the song makes for one of the best releases in 2012, well at least in my opinion. Each of the four, although sounding unique and different than the other, mesh so well on this track. Ab-Soul’s brand new album, Control System, is due out tomorrow so look back for that one. Also, Kendrick and SchoolBoy Q will be touring this summer so be on the lookout for them in your city!
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Meek Mill – Dreamchasers 2 (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on May 7, 2012
“I ball hard, all year N***a“
Blown away. That would best describe my reaction to Meek Mill’s brand new mixtape, Dreamchasers 2. After the multiple leaks, such as “Burn” and “Amen”, we finally get to listen to it in it’s entirety. The beats are phenomenal but nowhere near as good as his flow, killing every single song. Spitting with some serious emotion, Meek makes each song a must listen from start to finish. Garnering a slew of notable features from the likes of Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Rozay, Wale, 2 CHAINNNZZZZZ (had to), Fabolous, Mac Miller, and French Montana, the tape is too good to be true. So download it and clear a good hour out of your schedule, because you want to listen to this.

Posted by LoffyG on April 30, 2012
Gaines is back with two new tracks for your listening ears. This time he goes over Kendrick Lamar’s newest release “The Recipe”, which Gaines dubs “Thinkin Out Loud”. Definitely a smooth track with a nice sound to it. Next up he goes over Y.G’s swaggy “I’m A Thug” instrumental. Gaines has smashed out 3 remixes lately, his last one being the remix of Mac Miller’s “Loud”. If you haven’t checked out some of Gaines past projects you can cop those below. They’re filled with original productions and lyrics.
