Glizzy and many New Yorkers list what is and isn’t “Awwsome”. True about the ALS challenge though…
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.

Love the artwork for Logic’s new album Under Pressure, both of which he recently revealed to the fans. He also explains the concept, all of which you can read below. No release date as of yet.
The album title and artwork came effortlessly but it was a journey getting there. I always knew I wanted that feel you see in the detail, the half dark half bright and beautiful look. The entire album is about the two sides of myself. I could have done one of two main things when creating the album. Anyone who knows me knows I love all music, from the raw hip-hop to the fun shit they play at parties, but I decided to make a very ‘classic’ hip hop album, I wanted to RAP, my fan base is huge it stretches across the globe, but no matter how famous you get someone out there still has no clue who you are, so for those that discover me from this album I wanted then to go, ‘Oh okay I get it!’ They will immediately know who I am and understand the message in my music.
The picture you see was painted by Sam Spratt, an incredible artist from NYC. He re-created the place in Lenny’s basement where it all started. I gave him a collection of various old photos from different angles of the old place and he got it right to every last detail, so the day one fans will remember and enjoy.
As for the album titled Under Pressure is the title track on the album, I produced and wrote it while I was on tour with KiD CuDi, I had named the song ‘Under Pressure’ on the road, but it wasn’t until I came home that I realized how important the song was, it was the FIRST song that not only began the album process but showed me the direction I was going. The song “Under Pressure” has two parts, the first half is me being under pressure as Logic, while the second half is me being under pressure as Bobby. So essentially the entire album is about the duality of man. Or in this case one man growing up in terrible conditions and over coming.

Diamond District member yU has released a new track, titled ‘Never Burning Out’, which is made in tribute to his late father:
“Perspectively speaking.. What if I could get close enough to exchange in conversation with the brightest, most seasoned & experienced “star” in our realm, the Sun(or Amen-Ra), who in convo, would tell of some of the things its seen throughout the many trips around this universe. And after comparing, both the sun and I, realize that ‘the main thing we have in common, in our heart there’s a fire, never burning out.’
I dedicate this song to my father, Michael Willingham Sr., who just passed on Fathers Day. The song kinda reminds me of how he’d break things down to me. Of how he didn’t exactly understand my world, being 18 years older than I, but by principle, we still found things that we could relate on. As people, we all are different, but still very similar when u get to the root of things.” – yU
Look out for the upcoming EP from yU and (the song’s producer) Drew Dave titled Sumthin’ Slight.
