Mashups | Gold Dust Off Your Shoulder (Stiver Ryx Remix)

Posted by on September 17, 2011

Stiver Ryx dropped this mashup of Jay-Z’s Dirt Off Your Shoulder and Flux Pavilion’s remix of DJ Fresh’s Gold Dust in my inbox the other day, and it has definitely grown on me. The straight up passion that Flux Pavillion puts into their riffs melds perfectly with the laid back lyricism of Jay-Z…its hard to explain, just listen.

Hip-Hop | IllAdvized – Hustling

Posted by on August 19, 2011

IllAdvized really impressed me with their first project Fusion which featured a deft combination of Hip-Hop, House, Electro, Dubstep and just about every other genre they can get their hands on. Their latest release, Hustling, features smart lyricism with an expert flow… oh and the chorus is completely addicting.

Mixtapes | New Linen – Merp Nation

Posted by on August 5, 2011

After listening through this entire mixtape, and searching for the proper description..I kept returning to smooth. So what exactly does that mean? I think it means that everything seems to come together perfectly, the lyricism, the simple but addicting beats, and the melodic choruses. New Linen is really the full package and after one listen through Merp Nation, I think you will agree. I have included a few of my favorite tracks for preview below and you can download the full mixtape below that.

Radical Something aka Loggy, Josh Cocktail, and Big Red aka the group that is monopolizing the sound waves reaching your eardrums on these cool summer days, are back at it with their latest single “California.” The formula is simple: mix some feel good lyricism from Loggy with the heart felt crooning of Josh Cocktail and you get one damn good summer vibe. After hitting the blogwaves with Be Easy, Escape , and Long Hair Don’t Care, the release of “California” neatly fits into the growing summer playlist from this super-group.

Hip-Hop | J. Cole, Ray J ft. The Game, & Big Sean | Hip-Hop

Posted by on May 8, 2011

This track is supposedly an unreleased oldie from when Cole was 16. He sounds a little different, but as always his lyricism is second to none.

As annoying as this radio rip is with all the tags and what not, this teaser has me so pumped for Sean’s Finally Famous album, which drops June 21st.
