DJ Torch & Fat Rodney – Norfeazt Of The Torch Vol. 1


DJ Torch and Fat Rodney came together to unite their side of DC for an amazing compilation (based on things like this.) Essentially every rapper or group to come out of Northeast DC in the last 5 years is represented on the first installment of the Norfeazt Of The Torch compilation. Everyone I can think of (and more) from Northeast is on here, from Fat Trel, the Slutty Boyz, to Baraq, Sweizy, Mike Brown Da Czar, Tokyo Daimo, Hard Workin’ Ent., Da Big Fella, Chugaloo, Lundy Dior, Monopoly KP, etc. And it isn’t just a compilation for continuity’s sake, this is all heat from these rappers. Check it out because it’s some of the best music out of DC right now. Oh and by the way, this version of “Northeast Shit” was produced by Rick Flare, the original unreleased version was done by ILL Wonka.

LyQuin – In The Meantime EP


We’ve heard whispers of Lyquin being the “next big thing” out of this area. Whether that will come to pass or not, he has flown mostly under our radar for some time and we’re trying to fix that. This is his six-track EP that was released at the top of the year, with a standout collaboration with Nipsey Hussle and beats fr LG, Mark Hennry, Heavy and Kid Excluzive.

DC White & Killaree Santiago – Snakes N Da Grass (Video)


DC White and Killaree Santiago keep an eye out for treachery in their new video “Snakes N Da Grass.” Over a slower, sinister Trap beat. Both White and Santiago start their verses cool and calm, progressively getting more exuberant, rapping harder and faster. Shot by VEP Films, down in Austin during SXSW, this video is one of many that White and Santiago have put out recently, all of which are must-listens. The Dinner With The Plug mixtape is on the way too. Expect to hear “Snakes N Da Grass” and more like it on there. For bonus footage, check out the SXSW Vlog from White and Santiago, also shot by VEP Films.
