King Krule’s latest, 6 Feet Beneath The Moon, is set to drop on 24th August (his birthday) through XL Recordings. You can enjoy the project before you buy, thanks to the below stream.
Skyzoo – Along The Way
For the fifth and final entry in the Penny Freestyle Series Pt 2, we present “Along The Way”, this week’s freestyle over the Neptunes’ produced Jay-Z classic “Allure”. On this one, Sky touches on the recent KONY talks of the past week, all while weaving story telling within the braggadocio lyricism that he’s known. We thank you for your support and enthusiasm throughout this series, and we appreciate the continued belief in what we do, what we’ve been doing, and what we’ll always do. For the day one fans who know that when all else fails, lyrics will never be the same.
UPDATE: Curren$y & Young Roddy Feat. Juvenile – Mo Money (Prod. Mike Will Made It)
UPDATE: What was originally a Juvenile track has now become Curren$y’s, with the addition of Jet Life artist Young Roddy.
****************************************
New Juvie the Great featuring fellow N.O. representer Curren$y. Possibly the most uninteresting beat I’ve heard from Mike Will so far.
T. Williams (@TWilliamsMusic) – Mobb
T. Williams has another EP on the way…..check out his latest release from PMR Records below.
Young Rook Feat. Ab-Soul – That Shit
Young Rook got Ab-Soul on the track (and Tae Beast on the boards). Automatic add for this website.
Grafh – I’ll Body You (Control Freestyle) (Response To Kendrick Lamar)
Grafh goes in pretty hard in his response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse. Unfortunately, he’s not being checked for, either.

Download: Slime Flu 4
Mad Rapper – Control Freestyle
The uniqueness of this record is that, instead of a direct response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse, the Mad Rapper chose to take shots that the individuals that responded to the Compton emcee.
Chief Keef – Bang Pt. 2 (Mixtape)
After a few setbacks, we finally get Chief Keef’s Bang Pt. 2 mixtape hosted by DJ Holiday, Mike Epps and Michael Blackson. The mixtape has 16 new tracks and features from 300 crew Tray Savage and Tadoe. Tracklisting and link below.
JR Writer Feat. Vado – Already
I suppose JR Writer’s gameplan was to try to sneak back into the game by way of his response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on ‘Control’. Nice try.
Ransom – Control Freestyle
For my people. Yes I am doing the control beat. Not a response.. Could care less what he said. I liked it. Just going to show my skill level
— WALTER WHITE (@201Ransom) August 14, 2013
You heard him read the Tweet. It still counts as a response to Kendrick in my book, though.
JR Writer – Control Yourself (Response To Kendrick Lamar)
Here’s the latest response to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on ‘Control’, courtesy of Dipset alum JR Writer.
SZA – ‘Teen Spirit’ & ‘Julia’
SZA — one of TDE’s latest signees — let go of a couple of new tracks recently: the very smooth, mellow ‘Teen Spirit’ (produced by Wondagurl of ‘Crown‘ fame) and the 80s Pop-inspired ‘Julia’ (produced by Dave Free and Felix Snow). Check ’em out below….do you think that she could possibly fill the void that was created with Alori Joh’s passing?

“Everything Is Fine” – Sothko
Therapy… #GoodVibes. Great debut song by Sothko. A light touch of Bob Marley in there…

“Name In Lights” – Little Daylight
“Name In Lights” – Little Daylight
This is the 2nd really nice pop song I’ve liked from NY’s Little Daylight. The first being “Overdose”. This one is a little less radio friendly, ie more my style, and is the clear favorite of the 2. Just heard it the other day and was quite impressed. Wish there was an actual video for it though… But until then, this lyric video will have to suffice. Enjoy…

BONUS: Here’s their other song “Overdose”. Probably the wiser choice to release as their first single, as it IS super poppy and catchy. Good song honestly. One of the few pop songs I can tolerate.
ARtiST hIghLIGHT …Tidus
ARtiST hIghLIGHT …Tidus
“These are not my dreads, they are some f*ckin antennas”
Tidus is an unique cat out of NY that I’m actually pretty surprised hasn’t blown up more than he has. I’ve been diggin his music for a while now. Since november to be exact.
First it was “Delancy”, that one kinda got me on first listen. The song itself is super cool and not hard to like in the slightest. I play it a lot when I do my Vjay runs on weekends and it grabs everyone’s attention as soon as the beat comes on.
Then the late night New York visuals are dope too. He actually impromptu recorded it during a Manhattan blackout during hurricane Sandy. It was a smart move though because it created a perfect, super cool, freaky type vibe that comes through strong in the video. Perfectly matches the whole slightly weird, “out there” demeanor Tidus tries to capture with his music.
After that I did my usual digging and pulled up a few gems from off his early 2012 [Mirrors] EP as well as his earlier 2011 [Doors] EP . All go along with his out there / spaced out, in a different galaxy theme. Not to be confused with lil’ Waynes “I am a Martian” attempts. Tidus actually pulls it off. Plus, Tidus’ sound and videos are more abstract, which better match his image. Take “Gone Face” or “Cruisin” for instance. Both are somewhat trippy, definitely unique, and do a good job of taking you “down the rabbit hole” which is Tidus‘ mind. Good stuff forreal. Gotta always give props who those who go outside of the norm and do something different. Especially when it works.
Anyways, with all that being said, I think dude is pretty dope. I mean he’s not the next Nas or Jay-Z, but he has his own lane and a forumla that I think is true to him. It works more times than not. And although he doesn’t have but so much material out now, I’m in high anticipation for something new. So ill keep looking and keep you guys posted. Let me know what you guys think though. Posted a few more of his highlights as well has both his EP’s below (which you can download for free). Enjoy…

Radio Rip of the first play of the new single from Chase & Status ‘Count On Me’ feat Moko. The single is out on 29th September and is taken from the album ‘Brand New Machine’ which will be coming out on 7th October.

Fee Fee shows out on his flip of JAY Z’s ‘SomewhereInAmerica’.
Mickey Factz – South Park (Response To Kendrick Lamar)
Mickey Factz drops off a pretty damn good reply to Kendrick Lamar (as well as the rest of Black Hippy). Too bad no one is really checking for this guy anymore.
Torch Feat. Young Breed & Gunplay – RackeM
MMG’s oft-ignored Torch is gearing up for the release of No A/C Vol. 2 which drops August 27th. Check out his latest leak from the project featuring really-under-the-radar Young Breed and one-or-two-hits-away Gunplay.
@IbnInglor – New Wave
Ibn Inglor leaks the title track from his upcoming tape, produced by him and El Schmitty.
Cassidy “Control (Freestyle)” (Response To Kendrick Lamar)
Cassidy joins the conversation and drops off his response to Kendrick’s ‘Control’ verse. While he is splitting some bars, I don’t think anybody really cares.
