Hip-Hop, RnB | For All Mankind – Fiberglass Mic
Posted by Mach on June 30, 2012
FAM (For All Mankind) is a Hip-Hop/R&B group from the DC area. The group consists of the two MCs, Yago and Danny O along side producer Pete Ferrini. Forming FAM while attending St. Mary’s College, the trio pushes for a unique sound, blending together Hip-Hop and R&B. This newest track of theirs has really got me grooving. I love the Jazzy bass that takes you for a walk while Yago and Danny O run some smooth verses. Blending the old with the new, I feel FAM truly hit a unique sound. The trio plans on dropping an unnamed 10 track project by the end of the Summer.

Hip-Hop | Miles Jones – Magic
Posted by ATexas on June 27, 2012
Miles Jones released “Magic” about 20 days ago and I was just waiting on the entire EP Act So Strange to drop. I would have to conclude that this is still my favorite of the EP which has 5 songs that are all interesting. This Canadian rhymesayer lays it out in this super chill and short song that combines an ethereal beat with some poetic verses. This is not the jam to put on on your way to the gym or at a pregame, but lay back and relax to with your dog at the end of a hard days work (or hard days of doing nothing).

Drum & Bass | Drum & Bass Friday
Posted by Sev on June 23, 2012
Thanks to Technique Recordings, I was given the privilege to listen to this EP for almost two weeks now, and I just can not get enough of it. L Plus has put together a masterwork EP that is going to release in two days. Seriously, there are no disappointing tracks on this EP. Even the music video is unique and “Amazing” in itself, just like the Amazing EP. I recommend not sleeping on this one at all if you are a DnB fan. Since it is a Friday night and I am a little late on this post, I am sure you guys are just waiting for the tunes instead of my elegant and appealing descriptions. Given the circumstances I will just let you guys enjoy the tracks and critique them yourselves in the chat box. You guys won’t be so lucky next time though. Enjoy!
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.
Dubstep | R Rated #32
Posted by Mach on June 6, 2012
Alright so for the past few days we have been slacking a little on the dubstep, but fear not because we will make it all up today in R Rated. This isn’t the way Sev and I would have wanted to catch up, but we saw fit for the situation. So we will start off with previews and releases and move towards some of the best free tunes we have seen in weeks. Brainpain getting a preview up on Bass Union of his upcoming release on Ultragore. The best way and only way to describe this track is, monstrous! Holy hell my speakers are experiencing the biggest bass overload right now. Next we have a few previews of upcoming tracks, that can’t be left unexposed. Killsonik just coming off of a successful release of their EP and are already providing an amazing remix for Calvin Harris feat. Examples new tune “We’ll Be Coming Back”. Killed it.
This next producer is one of the most under-looked and under-rated producers in dubstep currently. Flinch is doing big things that nobody knows about and this remix surely falls under that category. Remixing an older release from Buygore by Captain Crunch and Fytch entitled “Raindrops” proving his talent and ingenuity. Can’t wait for this release, which is forthcoming on Buygore if I didn’t mention it already.
This last preview just went up only about an hour ago. AFK and The Frim have collaborated on a VIP mix of a heavy tune that has been smashing the stages for Rusko and many other artist for a while now. Definitely did not see this coming, but The Frim is another underrated producer who is slowly making his way to the top. The tune will be free at 5k likes on AFK’s Facebook page, so get on it. Here is the link to their FACEBOOK.
These next two release I’m sad that I wasn’t able to post, but as long as they get their recognition I will be satisfied. This tune by Caspa has been on my most wanted list ever since it was first previewed at Creamfields last year. It is one of the most disgusting, hard-hitting tunes I have ever heard. Not to undersell this release by Subshock as well, because it is just about in the same league as far as destructiveness and bass goes.
