Hip-Hop | Chance the Rapper – Acid Rain
Posted by dshaq on February 21, 2013
Chance drops off the second single from his highly anticipated mixtape, ACID RAP. The beat is a nice relaxing melody with a great lead guitar. This one reminds me a lot of Brain Cells from 10Day. New Chance makes us all happy campers so savor this one till the next release/tape drops.

Hip-Hop | OCD: Moosh & Twist – All Alright
Posted by LoffyG on February 19, 2013
Moosh & Twist just let this new track loose off their upcoming mixtape, “Back To The Basement”, which is set to hit your speakers on March 12th. Sampling “All Alright” by FUN., the guys come with a sound that’s much different than their previous releases. They even use a bit of auto-tune by the sounds of it, but not in a way that is over-the-top. I’m looking forward to hearing the entire project, as well as catching them on the Up To No Good Tour that cracks off this Thurday with Huey Mack! Grab tickets using the link below!
Hip-Hop, Videos | Machine Gun Kelly – Champions ft. Puff Daddy
Posted by LoffyG on February 19, 2013
Since coming from the bottom is all the hype right now we might as well talk Machine Gun Kelly, a rapper who definitely came from the bottom and is now here. After dropping his first studio album and having the first single “Wild Boy” achieve gold status, he’s currently preparing to release his next mixtape, “Black Flag”. As a preview of the mixtape he dropped this new video dropping some bars over Kayne’s classic “Champions” beat. He recruits Puff Daddy, yes I said Puff Daddy not Diddy, to let everyone know that EST 19XX are the champions. Check out the video and catch the mixtape cover after the jump!

Albums | Jetpack Jones – Afterburners 3: The Brink (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 18, 2013
My favorite and your’s, Jetpack Jones, hits us with ANOTHER free mixtape. Jetpack is one of my favorite rappers out right now, because his music puts you in a different mindset than most of the stuff you hear on Worldstar or something. Don’t get me wrong, I like gangster rap as much as the next blogger, but sometimes I need a change of pace. Jetpack Jones is that change of pace. His latest mixtape features terrific bars from the Lakewood native, paired with beats fitting his creative rapping style. The tape is hosted by DJ Charisma, so you know it’s good. Download below and support Jetpack on Twitter and Facebook.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | WoodysProduce – OutKast Remixed Mixtape
Posted by Mach on February 11, 2013
I have been extremely excited for the release of this remix mixtape. WoodysProduce states “OutKast is the greatest duo in music. Ever. Since they are not getting back together anytime soon, I wanted to shed new light on some of my favorite songs and give people some new Kast to bump.” He couldn’t have said it any better. OutKast was amazing, they revolutionized Hip-Hop, and were one of the most influential duos of our generation. Woody revamped 11 great tracks. My top 5 remixes in no specific order are “ATLiens,” “Intl Player Anthem,” “Wheelz of Steel,” “B.O.B.,” and “Jazzy Belle.” Of course, this entire mixtape is awesome, the top 5 of others will differ from mine. My one negative is that I was sad he did not remix “The Way You Move” seeing as it is one of my favorites but this is not a real complaint. Enough chat, Woody provides nostalgia at its finest.

Chill, Hip-Hop | Jacob Es – Swimming in the Sublime (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 6, 2013
This post is about two weeks late, and for that I apologize. But I’ve been hella busy, and I’m just having the chance to sit down and take a listen to Jacob Es’ latest mixtape. I’ve been listening to Jacob’s music since I first started blogging about a year and a half ago. I’ve seen steady improvement from Jacob, and that’s one of the main things I look for in upcoming artists.
On his tape, Swimming in the Sublime, Jake picks up solid features from Reeves of Aer and FNT favorite Jetpack Jones. The production is solid throughout, with up-tempo, positive beats without too much synthesizers and other electronic instruments we often hear on the radio. Just looking at the album cover, you’ll get a feel for where this mixtape will take you. Check out the mixtape in it’s entirety below via soundcloud.
