Shy Glizzy – Walk On Water ft. Zed Zilla (Prod. by ILL Wonka)
Alright so if you’ve listened to a lot of rap from the DC area in the past few years, you probably heard a beat from our homie ILL Wonka. He’s made a name for himself as a producer, engineer and Tokyo Daimo’s main co-conspirator. Wonka has a lot of great records in the cut, and its great to see one of them come to light. “Walk On Water” brings out some raw, emotional material from Zed Zilla and Shy Glizzy, two artists who often get pigeonholed as basic “Trap” rappers. Clearly, they have a lot more to offer. There was actually a time where we were going to premiere this record. I’m not mad, its on the Fader! I’m just saying, the track was that memorable. Shout out to Wonka. This song is in support of the non-profit Santa Cause. To learn more and donate, click here.

AB Icee – Big Tymer (Video)
When AB Icee was down in Atlanta for A3C, he and Clipstar TV shot a lavish video for his track “Big Tymers” from the Thriller mixtape. Clipstar’s close-up shots and great use of color compliments Icee’s echoing, spacey vocals. Both are very understated. Basically, you either get it or you don’t.
