Big Sean Drops Four Songs (with Kanye, Mike WiLL, E-40, etc.)
After announcing Roc Nation as his new management company, Big Sean drops four tracks, collaborating with Kanye, Mike WiLL, E 40, DJ Mustard, Key Wane and more. Honestly I couldn’t give a shit about Big Sean, “I Don’t Fuck With You” is terrible lyrically…but E 40 rapping over a Kanye/Mustard production…wow.

Amilcar – The Seasons (Sango ReFix)
Although this is being labelled as the original version, its unclear whether Chicago rapper Amilcar’s “Seasons” is a Sango remix or not. Either way its a great introduction to Autumn from an artist not too many are familiar with. Enjoy.

Tez Banga – Rixh
Orlando/St. Louis Transplant Tez Banga dropped a track over on DGB that caught my ear today. The self-produced “Rixh” is simple, catchy and influenced by the Atlantan auto-tuned musings of artists like Future and Johnny Cinco. Nothing ground-breaking here, but that’s not always the point. Tez has a mixtape with DJ Rell coming out soon.

HNIC – The HNYC (ReMix Tape)
Maryland-based producer the HNIC dropped this re-mix tape about a month ago. Unfortunately it hasn’t gotten much buzz since then. I only came across the tape because its on the first page of Google when you search “Solbiato” the name he gave for his Roc Marciano remix. Great track names, Dirty drums and and eerie samples back 17 tracks from New York rappers both old and new. HNIC channels a little bit of old RZA, Pete Rock, dusty tapes and something clearly his own on this great project.
