Bayou – Cherry Cola (Video)
I feel as though people who make music anonymously create fairly low ceilings for themselves after some time. With that said, this track and visual from the mysterious artist Bayou is absolutely brilliant. You can download the audio here.

RIP: Hector Camacho Dies In Puerto Rico
Sad, sad, sad.
Hector “Macho” Camacho, a former three-division boxing champion who had 88 professional fights against a who’s who of legendary opponents stretching from Ray Mancini (whom he defeated in 1989) to Oscar De La Hoya (who beat him by decision in 1997), has died. He was 50.
Camacho was pronounced dead Saturday after being shot in the head four days earlier while seated in a car outside a bar in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Camacho’s condition deteriorated before his family opted to take him off life support.
Another man in the car, who had nine bags of cocaine in his possession, was also shot and immediately declared dead, according to the Associated Press.

@FrenchMontana – @DJDrama Interview (@Shade45)
I am a French Montana fan, no doubt. But French Montana really needs to drop a chart topping record without these features before he calls 50 Cent anything (on Eminem’s Shade 45, for that matter).

Tim Stacks (@timstacksyrs) – Ridin Around (prod. by ItsDias)
Tim Stacks is a New Yorker currently living in Charlotte, NC. He is a promising young rapper with a lot of talent so give “Ridin Around” a listen. I can promise a few things about this track. First, its not a 2 Chainz freestyle. Second, it contains no bad rapping, Stacks can flow. Third, the beat is good, the production is a golden-age funk sample melded with lo-fi 808s. Give “Ridin Around” a chance and be on the lookout for Stacks’ mixtape New Era, coming 2013. You can stream and download via soundcloud below. Shout out to the man Jerzy.
