Hip-Hop | Tayyib Ali – Dreaming (Prod. by The Astronauts)
Posted by Grubeats on June 13, 2012
With his head high, Tayyib has been very eager to give his fans what they want. New music. Linking up with one of his top production duo’s, The Astronauts, Tay releases the latest single off his third coming mixtape. In the past they have collaborated on “High Definition”, “Tomorrow”, and “Never Change” and I think it’s safe to say we can expect more work in the near future. Tay spit me some of these bars acapella back when I interviewed him in Boston and I’ve been waiting for the final product ever since. Although the prince of Philly still has a way to go to be where he ultimately see’s himself, he’s got the demeanor and potential to make it there.
In other news, Tayyib and label-mate, Logic, are preparing to kick off their first even nationwide tour on July 7th, presented by Visionary Music Group. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t grab your tickets now! Full details after the break.
Hip-Hop | YONAS – Drive It Like It’s Stolen
Posted by Grubeats on June 11, 2012
YONAS has made waves lately with his remixes nobody has been able to touch. Most notably, our favorite Bronx street preacher flipped Foster The People’s chart topping hit, “Pumped Up Kicks”, which is on the brink of breaking 2,000,000 hits on YouTube. While YONAS’ attack has been rather stealth over the past few years, he’s beginning to garner the recognition he deserves with love from some of the most respected hip-hop sites such as XXL. Continuing with his string of amazing sampled tracks, Y-O brings it back to the blueprint and delivers a filthy new track over The Glitch Mob’s “Drive It Like You Stole It” which will act as the second single off his upcoming project. Consider this a verbal warning as YONAS shares a lesson on how to “Drive It Like It’s Stolen”. The Transition mixtape coming June 25th!
“This is not Mac Miller, this is that much iller, this is R.I.P. hipsters, I’m a backpack killer” – YONAS
Hip-Hop | SplYt – Catch 22 (Mixtape)
Posted by J_Salzer on May 23, 2012
I had never heard the name SplYt(split) before until a few weeks ago when his manager dropped something in the chatbox, I had time, so I gave it a listen and wasn’t impressed. Sure, the kid has some flow, and the beat was decent, but I had no idea it could lead to a project like this. Every beat is carefully chosen, and each one if murdered in its own respect. Keep in mind that SplYt is new to the game, this is his freshman tape, and he shows loads of potential. Of course, there are some things that he could do better, but it would be a crime not to post this. This kid is going places. I’ve had enough with the over saturation in the rap game, and I can’t stand MCs that don’t do anything unique, but this kid just has straight talent.
Exclusive, Hip-Hop | Hendersin- Underdog
Posted by A on May 21, 2012
“This a game so I treat it like a sport, I been trying to reach my goals but I keep coming up short.”
In anticipation of his forthcoming “Henny In Ya System,” project, Hendersin releases his highly anticipated “Underdog” single produced by beat-master Blacklight LLC, who previously produced the cult-favorite “Living My Life.” Taking inspiration from Houston’s promethazine laced rap culture, Hendersin produces a key-driven organ heavy single that inspires as much as it makes one’s head nod. If big shots are little shots who keep shooting, Hendersin is aiming for the head, as tracks like “Underdog” will inevitably allow him to reach his intended destination, greatness.

Drum & Bass, Dubstep | Protohype – Crush Mode Ft. Init
Posted by Mach on May 5, 2012
Protohype previewed this gem a few weeks ago on his youtube. Apparently his laptop was just stolen and the project was not backed up (after the same thing happening to Skrillex and Savant, you would think people would have learned by now). Anyways, Protohype has released the unfinished copy that he has available. Unfinished, this track is still dope as hell. I feel bad for him because tracks like these need to be completed. Message to those of you who have or are thinking of stealing an artist’s computer, you suck. It is people like you that ruin it for the rest of us, don’t smile because we all hate you for the issues that you cause. Get a life, big ups to Protohype for this amazing track.
Videos | Sammy Adams- Summertime
Posted by A on April 9, 2012
“Things up on the road and I seen up on the planes don’t compare to being with the homies some things never change.“
Sampling his own, “I Hate College” remix that catapulted him into superstardom, Sammy Adams is back with a new video montage shot with a super 8 camera that debuted on VEVO in anticipation of his major label release with Sony/RCA. While productions details are scarce, Sammy is rumored to be working with Pharrell. While in Dallas, we had the opportunity to listen to his highly anticipated “Only One” single, an insanely catchy anthem dedicated to finding that special someone. One thing is for certain, come album release time, Sammy Adams will deliver a project worth phoning home about.
