“Erica” – Hot Sugar ft. The GTW [Made Men]
“Erica” – Hot Sugar ft. The GTW [Made Men]
Yo this video is so dope. lolol …Funny too!….. Starts off weird as I don’t know what!. …But then the songs comes together, and the video starts to explain itself… Bravo! …Because you will watch this video more than once. Great production by Hot Sugar. Great abstract Andre 3000-like vocals by The GTW. And I loved the lyrics.
“Tired… I’m so tired of livin’ with you. / You’re my worst nightmare come true / My eyes droop low because of you…”
I can definitely relate! haha …as a dude. Ooooh MM GEE I can relate. lol …smh. #deadbeatgirlfriend … Had a similar situation… smh #DoBetter …(but honestly, I’m sure the feeling for anybody dealing with a deadbeat partner you’re just sick of.. #ScumBetweenMyToes #Lil’Rascalls)
“Erica” by Hot Sugar (ft. The GTW) off Hot Sugar‘s upcoming [Made Men] EP . Posted below. Enjoy…

BONUS: This was the first time I noticed Hot Sugar. (“Erica” is by far his best track).
…Took a while to recall this one. But I did remember this beat being pretty dope and the video being especially creative. Hot Sugar is a dope producer.
Video: “Now Dream” – THC
Video: “Now Dream” – THC
I have no idea how I let this slip past me…. I’m ashamed!!! …Right on 4/20 too! (when the song came out).
A fan of Overdoz., and a fan of Iman Omari. So I’m an obvious fan of THC‘s production style. But I didn’t know they were releasing solo songs/instrumentals of their own. …This is super dope. Deep basses. Hazy and nostalgic. Dope video too. #4theSmokers. …Reminds me of XXYYXX. Posted “Now Dream” below. Enjoy…

BONUS: Here’s another dope production by THC for a song they did with Overdoz. and Problem. Loved this song when I first heard it.
Lastly… not completely related, but the video for “Now Dream” made me think of this. This is a hot smokers video that similar. By XXYYXX. #dope with the same vibe forreal
“Centerfold” – Tiny Hearts [Stay] EP
“Centerfold” – Tiny Hearts [Stay] EP
Yo this beat is so trippy and I’m lovin’ it. . .. This new [Stay] EP by ny, la, detroit trio Tiny Hearts, is really making me happy over here. It’s like some experimental N.E.R.D. x J*Davey-like ragtime jazz. …Slightly twisted and beautiful at the same time..
…actually, this whole EP is good. …Minus the first song :-/. …Wasn’t really feeling the first song… But the rest of that EP RIDES! ….with a “G”-like smoothness! #blackshades #2cool2lose ….Instrumentally. Soundwise. …All there. “Centerfold” is funky! …and “Snow Cold” is literally cold as ice. Like-WTF? Am I trippin or is this dope? …smh. Anyways, I posted the [Stay] EP below. Starting from track 2. It’s some seriously good stuff. Enjoy…

“Falling” – Yuna [Nocturnal]
“Falling” – Yuna [Nocturnal]
I’ve liked Yuna‘s music in the past, but this is the first joint of hers I can actually say I loved. Apparently it’s off her upcoming album, [Nocturnal]. Didn’t have any anticipation for it, but now I’m curious. Seems like she picked up the tempo a lil’ bit for “Falling.” I’m wondering if the album will follow suit.
Anyways, posted “Falling” below. Enjoy…

BONUS: If you’re new to Yuna, do yourself a favor and check out these. She’s a crazy talented vocalist forreal, and these are my hand picked Yuna favorites. You already know….
…the “Live Your Life” remix with Theophilus London. Which I think might be even better than the original.
@LeekeLeek – My Turn (Prod. by @YungCryptonite)
I know LeekeLeek is the “autotune shawty” but I wish he had rapped the entirety of this new song produced by fellow Chicago beatmaker. Leek goes in over an amazing beat and (for the most part) hits his mark. Was that a little jab at Chief Keef? I noticed that the two of them haven’t collaborated on a track in a while. “My Turn” will be on LeekeLeek’s Greed album, coming soon.
@IceBerg305 – Too Easy (Prod. by Nash B)
South Florida’s Ice Berg has been making a name for himself for a long time. He goes in on his new, fast-paced, bass heavy single “Too Easy” produced by Nash B.
@DeniroFarrar – High Tide (Prod. Hot Sugar)
Deniro shows his versatility in the new “High Tide” produced by Hot Sugar, comfortably rapping about gun control and Babylon over a beat that sounds like it would fit better in an Electro mix.
@IbnInglor – New Wave (Mixtape)
Ibn Inglor drops his latest tape, New Wave, over production that sounds like it should have been included in the Inception soundtrack. The title track is my favorite by far. Take a listen, this artist from Chicago’s far Southside is close to perfecting his craft.
BJ The Chicago Kid ft. Freddie Gibbs & Problem – Smoke & Ride
This has been my favorite song off of the GTA V soundtrack, especially because of Freddie Gibbs sing-rap flow, which is not something I would have ever expected from the Cali transplant. I still think Yoe Luck’s “Smoke & Ride” is good too though.
ALBUM STREAM: Mack Wilds – New York: A Love Story
New York: A Love Story drops September 30th. Check out the stream below.
Yo Gotti Feat. T.I. – King Shit
The latest single taken from Yo Gotti’s upcoming album I Am, due November 19th.
Papoose – Nosetalgia Freestyle
Papoose is back on some beef shit with Pusha T’s latest leak. I don’t know, man.
@ElliIngram – Canna Butter Kisses (Prod. @ProducedByFelix) @ChanceTheRapper
Elli Ingram gives us her reimagining of Chance The Rapper’s ‘Cocoa Butter Kisses’, which some T-Pain thrown in for good measure.
ALBUM SNIPPETS: Pusha T – My Name is My Name

Mary J. Blige – This Christmas
Here comes the obligatory Holiday album for those (like Blige) that might be trying to sneak in a few more dollars before the year’s out.
