A beautiful ambient track by experimental group Inventions. The duo, of Eluvium and Explosions In The Sky fame (on the Temporary Residence LTD label), have crafted a lush soundscape in this track vaguely reminiscent of Brian Eno, Spiritualized, or Sigur Ros. Very tranquil and peaceful, take a listen.
G$tar Giorgio – Rollie
G $tar drops an Los-produced ode to his rollie. The Virginia rapper is out in LA right now recording for his upcoming album Sorry 4 The Wait. More on that later.
Carnage ft. ILOVEMAKONNEN – I Like Tuh (Video)
DJ Carnage drops the bizarre video for his tripped-out new single “I Like Tuh” featuring Makonnen.
Sicaa – The Source
From the excellent Moose Records comes Sicaa’s The Source. A new LP which features chill ambient music and plenty of bleeps and bloops and trippy moments. Included here is the title track. It’s good, I swear. Listen above.
Tootie Ro ft. Turk Ro – Who Is Ro
Tootie Ro and Turk Ro link up with producer Milo for a cranking new single off of Tootie’s upcoming Really Out mixtape. “Who Is Ro” is tagged up by DJ Nick Marino.
Jay IDK – The Plug
So tired of people paying tribute to Griselda Blanco…But Jay IDK is actually really dope, the guy can spit and has a wide array of styles. Just because I don’t like “The Plug”, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Expect to hear more from Jay IDK soon.
Pleasure | s – First Love
Straight out of LA, this little synth-pop gem is by Pleasure | s. Nevermind the divider by the S in the name, the song is reminiscent of something out of Drive, catchy and electric.
My Body – Explode
Great new song from YoursTruly’s Soundcloud. It features beautiful vocals and music that reeks of desperation and joy.
Brodinski – Interviews ft. ILOVEMAKONNEN & Yung Gleesh
Brodinski’s upcoming album is gonna be crazy. Yung Gleesh and Makonnen are a good fit on this track. Gleesh killed it with these new flows.
Nosaj Thing – Cold Stares ft. Chance The Rapper
This track was leaked by Chance late last year. Apparently it will appear on producer Nosaj Thing’s 3rd Album Fated, coming out in two months.
Figure – Destiny Awaits
Figure really has video game music with explosion-like Dubstep drops and DnB speed BPMs down pat (see last year’s Nintendo TMNT-themed “Cowabunga.”) You can either download “Destiny Awaits” for free or buy it on iTunes…
Meek Mill – Burn (Tantalus Remix)
Did you ever want a version of the song “Burn” without Big Sean? Surely the answer is yes. Do you ever feel like you need more Dubstep drops in your life? Either way, this track is for you, it has great drops and drum programming, catchy synths and an inspiring outro from DJ/producer Tantalus. Enjoy
Low Pros – Who Wanna Play? ft. Que (Video)
The day after dropping a new single, the Low Pros and Que drop a tripped-out video for the track “Who Wanna Play?”
New Regime – Money Hungry Ft. Fat Trel (Prod. by Kino)
New Regime and MMG’s Fat Trel team up with producer Kino Beats on the Million Dollar Regiment cut “Money Hungry”
Brodinski – Brava Minimix (Ft. iLoveMakonnen, Yung Gleesh, Slim Thug, Peewee Longway, Young Scooter, 2$ Fabo, SD, Bloody Jay, MPA Shitro, Chill Will….)
French DJ Brodinski (who has been involved in the American Hip-Hop scene for a while) does more melding between Electronic music (EDM) and rap on this minimix from his upcoming album Brava. Set for a release March 3rd, the album is filled with features from Southern-based rappers like iLoveMakonnen, Yung Gleesh, Slim Thug, Peewee Longway, Young Scooter, 2$ Fabo, SD, Bloody Jay, MPA Shitro, Chill Will and more. Not only is it great that one of DC’s own is one a song from a well-know French producer who co-produced “Black Skinhead,” but Brodinski (or someone around him) clearly knows Atlanta rap. MPA Shitro and Chill Will, while talented artists are not exactly mainstream. The music is wonderful, oddly dissonant synths, driving basslines and the occasional “Trap” sound make everything fit together perfectly.
yU – Homicide (Prod. by Nottz)
No words…this song is nuts. Mello Music Group has a compilation (with this track on it) scheduled to be released soon. Pre-order here.
Stream: Masego Music – “Rain Dance”
Much love to Virginia’s Masego Music. This one is probably my favorite. …The Lastest of his TrapHouseJazz creations.
Goodies for the internet. I think this joint kinda fits the weather.
Stream “Rain Dance” below, then be sure to check out a few more gems of his. Dope stuff, I promise.
