The all-so-buzzed about Hoodie Allen just dropped his remix of Jamie XX and Gil Scott-Heron’s original “NY is Killing Me” track. “NY is Killing Me” will be featured on Hoodie’s upcoming tape, Leap Year. The track tells the story of Hoodie’s love-hate relationship with the city (what makes it difficult to be there and even harder to leave).

Hoodie recently dropped some visual to go along with his newest track which samples Marina And The Diamonds recording “I Am Not A Robot”. Props to director Zach Goldberg for coming up with an interesting concept for the video. Check out Hoodie on Facebook and Twitter.

This easily could have been a single posted track, but I didn’t want to overwhelm everyone on their day back. This is a high quality track; great production, great hook, great verses, great style, I could go on all day… Our hip-hop fans should be into this for sure.

Electro, Hip-Hop | Brenton Duvall – Pretty Little Penthouse (Tayyib Ali)

Posted by on January 20, 2011

Is Brenton Duvall everywhere or is he everywhere? Seriously, he’s been hustling hard these past few months and it’s starting to seriously pay off. I’ve seen a number of up and coming artists hop on his beats and word on the street is he has some more collabs coming up with the likes of Hoodie Allen. In this latest project, Tayyib Ali flows over a smooth Brent beat that features a sample of Michael Jackson’s track, “PYT (Pretty Young Thang)”. I’m digging it so down it.
