Hip-Hop, RnB | Tinashe – 2 On feat. Schoolboy Q

Posted by on January 14, 2014

Alright, this might seem a little out of no where considering my traditional taste but I’ve been on a very serious R&B kick lately and I’m not afraid to show it. Rising starlet Tinashe broke up my Ciara-Cassie-Aaliyah rotation after dropping the audio of her latest single, “2 On,” featuring beats provided by DJ Mustard and guest rhymes by Schoolboy Q. Her voice is soft and seductive, leaving you wanting more even after multiple plays. Keep an eye out for when the track becomes available for purchase in the near future, and potentially an album in the works as well.

Fall even more in love with Tinashe here.

Hip-Hop | MIKOS DA GAWD – Shaku [INSTRUMENTAL]

MIKOS DA GAWD

I hadn’t heard of this gentleman until hearing this song, but his name makes him sound like a stand-up guy – not one of those egoist producers. I listened to a bunch of the other tunes on his Soundcloud profile and they’re legit. Check the wicked beat on this chill piece. I love when he rolls it. The vocals are a prime fit. It’s a slow tune with a fast kick and it goes down smooth.

Progressive House | The Chainsmokers vs. Tove Lo – Habits

With their latest remix of Tove Lo’s “Habits”, The Chainsmokers wanted to find the middle ground between the bass heavy, hardstyle kick filled festival tracks that we all love even though they all sound the same, and the more typical progressive sound that they are accustomed to. They successfully did that by having multiple distinct drops that incorporate both of those sounds. The drops progress into one another creating an interesting, dynamic track while fulfilling their desire to explore the festival realm. They’ve released a very large number of tracks in the past year so it’s hard to rank them but I would say this is one of their better ones.

KickRaux teamed up with Walshy Fire whom you might know as 1/3 of Major Lazer to remix “O.G. Bobby Johnson” by Que and it’s the perfect blend of electro-trap and rap. The ladies are going to be shaking their asses to this one, and the fellas are going to be leaning back like Terror Squad in ’05. Man, this track makes me feel good to be a gangster. This is a must download and a must  listen, if not go kick rocks! Go support them on Hypem and give them a heart to get them up the chart!

Ambient, Chill | Atu – Doubts

Posted by on January 2, 2014

Here’s another lovely track to kick off January right. Atu’s original track “Doubts” has a superb atmosphere and some really smooth piano in it. Ambient and classy, I have no doubt (haha get it) that this track is excellent. If we had a tab for “baby making music” I would definitely pop this track in there. The little extra section at the end is especially pretty. Big ups to Atu for this one!

Trap | Wizard – Winter Tan EP

Posted by on December 27, 2013

If you need some bass-filled beats to kick off the weekend, Wizard’s got it. “Winter Tan” is the title of his new EP, and a single on the track. Haunting vocals drip over the deep bass and trapped out drums throughout the EP. I added an extra track for you to hear before downloading, if you’re not completely sold yet, called “Little Fugue”. The bouncy vocals are a delightful surprise, and quite eerie. These tracks are top notch, so grab the free download!
