KiD CuDi – Perfect Is The Word (prod. Dot Da Genius)
Having an earlier conversation tonight, the topic switched all the way around to KiD CuDi and his current place in hip-hop. As a rapper, you don’t necessarily count Scott Mescudi as one of the greats. However, as a man who makes music in tune with his emotions, as erratic as they may be, CuDi is [...]
Rochelle Jordan – Take Time
Do we start paying Canada for all of their musical exports? So far in this decade they’ve given us Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Ayah, Eternia and more. Let’s add Rochelle Jordan to the mix as the songbird has been bubbling for quite sometime and “Take Time” which adds boom-bap with her neo-soul ish vocals to [...]
Rocky Rivera – Daydream (f. Nitty Scott, MC)
Best looking collaboration you’ve seen all year? Look no further than the “Pop Killer” herself Rocky Rivera and the dimpled faced assassin Nitty Scott, MC for “Daydream”. A lighthearted ode to hip-hop, both Rocky and Nitty shed light on how they were wooed by the culture of ours, even dispelling the nature of hating how [...]
Video: RayDawn – StarBucks
To kill them without suspicion, first you have to be the best dressed and with Brandon Dull directing, RayDawn takes cues from Alfred Hitchcock for “StarBucks” from Controlled Chaos 2 which is available now.
The 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 19 – A Song From Your Favorite Album
“And there’s a … and there’s a fine … line.” In 1998, OutKast released the third album in their near untouchable catalog, Aquemini. Having to deal with the task of creating a follow up to their classic sophomore effort ATLiens, all Big Boi & Andre 3000 had to do was up the funk, string together [...]

Rebel Je’ – Do You Like The Way
It’s clear that Rebel Je’ is teaching us while he’s giving away all of these free tracks in preparation for Sounds: 2 Beautiful. One, he’s pulling together many of his influences and his distinct beat selection and two, how easily he can make himself apart of something that may have been originally recorded a decade [...]
Cam Wallace – Thelma’s Song
Hip-hop pays a lot more attention to its matriarchs than maybe any other genre. Big K.R.I.T. can tell you within every song of his that his grandmother made much of an impression on him, even referring to the belief that she pulled some strings in Heaven to get the Mississippi born emcee to where he [...]
Mayer Hawthorne – A Long Time
Have we been sleeping on the artist formerly known as Haircut? No, of course not as we’ve done various efforts to let people know about the blue eyed soul man from the Motown area. In his attempt to fully capitalize on his new deal with Universal Republic, Mayer let’s loose “A Long Time” letting his [...]
Video: tabi Bonney – Sunlight
The idea that tabi Bonney resides in a class of artists who move to the beat of their own drum is pretty much fact. Even though tabi has released plenty of material to ride out to during the course of this year (and last), he decides to self shoot his own video for “Sunlight”. The [...]
