Z-RO

The club turns the lights out because they need to close.
But Z-Ro just keeps performing in the dark, killing it.
Amazing.
WHITE RING x RICK ROSS

Download the whole mixtape they put together
of weird ass Bricksquad/Maybach Music remixes over here.

ASAP ROCKY - PESO

Shouts to that boy Yams, and this whole A$AP movement.
And shouts to those Master P bifocles.

Asap Rocky, "Peso" (MP3)

SUMMA BREEZE
This lack of postage lately is bush league on my behalf.
So, here's a summer youtube playlist.

ASAP ROCKY
Can't get this chorus out of my head for days every time I listen to the song.
Has some kind of hypnotic force to it. That's @clammyclams production for you though.

BRENMAR x SINDEN
Getting in the mindset for a big loft party I'm doing tomorrow with some friends.
If you're in Montreal, email me (look to the right of this post) and I'll give the details.
---
Brenmar doesn't seem to give Sinden much credit in this video,
but what they're working on sounds super good.

Beautiful video though in pretty much every way.

ARAABMUZIK x ALCHEMIST
You'd think the logical step for rappers to take now
after burning out the Lex Luger productions would be
to hit up araabMUZIK... What's the hold up, guys?
---
"Araab killed it so much it bought a tear to alchemist's eye @ 4.02"
-RayzaMusicUK
---
Yup.

KEYBOARD KID
There are a lot of songs on this tape,
and frankly, I deleted half of them.
---
But the keepers that are on this album make it well worth
sifting through it, which didn't even take that long.
You usually know if a track is for you within 5 seconds.
---
Thank him and Clams Casino for what we now know as the #based sound.
---
For fans of Jonwayne and others on that 8-bit homage steez.
Guess we can start calling this a 'chip-hop' movement or something.

PARIAH CAREY - HAOKAH
This ain't no sweet, sweet fantasy, baby.
---
If you like steampunk movies, tension, and the thought of streetlights
turning off as you're walking home, Pariah just might be your dude.
---
Take a listen here, and if you like, pre-order the new cassette right here.
It's being released on June 14 through Deathbomb Arc.
Swag them the fuck out.

My blog doesn't like me embedding bandcamp right now.

MR. MUTHAFUCKIN' EXQUIRE
Mr. MFN ain't really doing anything for the image of black America,
but that's not his job. His job is to make dope fucking Saturday night music.
---
Job well done, sir.

KUXXAN SUUM x END FENCE
---
"We'll be giving away all of our release for free; the second, Language/Barrier by kuxxan SUUM,
was released a week ago. Remixes by Kelpe [Black Acre], Dead Geoff [Purple bird],
DJ Nita, Awning and De Qualia."
---
"The album spans a large spectrum from MPC-style wonky-samplism, glitch-hop,
UK Funky, dubstep, minimal drum n bass and completely unclassifiable."

ZEKE62
I came across Zeke's youtube page via Noz's mention on a recent Fader post.
This is a fucking vault of beautiful moments in rap - the classic stuff from my generation.
---
Ludacris' introduction to "What's Your Fantasy" had me flipping out a little bit.
You really recognize Timbaland's importance from these videos.
---
Tuesday
BEAUTIFUL LOU x SHADY BLAZE
Lou smokes a lot of weed, premieres a new track with Shady spitting at maximum velocity.
"Green ova, what up"
---
SIMO x MOOD SCHULA
Strangest group of kids to be shouting "hip, hop! hip, hop!"
but you can't deny the slap of this production...
---
Monday
MAIN ATTRAKIONZ: THE DOCUMENTARY
Squadda and Mondre are next up. Here's a pretty entertaining video of the guys,
hanging out, shooting the shit, and recording music.

LIL WAYNE x NARDWUAR
I've wanted this for a while now. The time has come for these forces to meet.
And you gotta love Drake for hooking this up.

LAPALUX
“I’m a very visual person. A lot of inspiration gets drawn out from me when
I’m visually stimulated and I try to relate the way I feel about it to my music.
I like to have a photo or a picture of something near me when I write music.
I see an image and try and turn it into music.”
---
Despite his songs being tagged on Soundcloud as "Boobstep" and "Dinosaurs",
and his understable obsession with Kelly Brook, these songs are incredibly focused,
patient, and worth taking your jacket off for. You're gonna want to stick around for a while.

SHLOHMO
Dude seems to hold down a pretty hallucinogenic show,
and has some great visuals to go along with it all.
Hope I can see him live soon.
---
KING
Super throwback sound.
Like Parliament Funk when the smoke clears
and they're hit with some sunlight.
---
MALICE AND MARIO SWEET
When I think of married couples making music together,
I picture Kenny Rogers and one of his wives singing to each other or something...
But Malice & Mario Sweet have swept in and squashed that image for me completely.
---
but the production is a big sucker punch. Part-Dilla, part-Prince, somehow it flows
despite every track being from a fairly different producer.
---
and if you have someone close to you, tell them you love them!

WE SHOW UP ON RADAR
Here's some Sunday afternoon music for your Saturday morning.
---
Last time we heard from Hello Thor they were introducing
us to the great Friday night sounds of the band Fists.
---
Now they've hit us up with Andy Wright's solo act We Show Up On Radar,
who's been making music for those who like to put the kettle on
and have some alone time with your headphones.
---
Last year WSUOR apparently went on a tour of libraries,
which I can picture working all too well with songs like this one.

Friday
TARAGANA PYJARAMA
The first half of this looks like what my city is going through right now
(just in case you didn't know, it's April. Like... "Spring time").
---
I can't wait for it to be like the second half of this video outside.
---
NICKI MINAJ collaborates with TYLER, THE CREATOR
What.
---
This is super unexpected due to the fact that Tyler has said on
many accounts that he wants to keep everything Odd Future
within Odd Future. Does this mean Nicki is part of the wolf pack now?
---
I guess there might be a loophole in that statement
because it is just a feature on one of her tracks.
---
Thursday
DOMO GENESIS x HODGY BEATS
They're sounding like two different versions of early Eminem (which is not a bad thing),
Hodgy's voice is cracking at the end. Are they giving into the Wu comparisons?
---
Despite this being probably the most normal rap song to come from the Odd Future crew...
This is all very strange.
---
Tuesday
KANYE WEST'S FIRST BEATS
This is pretty crazy to hear.
You've got the groundwork for not only a lot of stuff he'd be releasing
on College Dropout but even Late Registration (compare Beat 2 with "Celebration").
---
This feels like the point where he'd found his sound, and just needed the money
and all the connections he would soon have so he could become... Kanye West, basically.
---
Monday
BIG K.R.I.T.
Coming from a cold province on the East coast of Canada,
I can confidently say I know nothing about "country shit".
At least not the kind that K.R.I.T. is rapping about.
---
I've always been most interested in rap from the South.
Makes me think of soul food, which I also know very little about,
and having a grandmother who is more like a mother to you.
---
New mixtape.
---
If you've been following this guy, I can stop there.
If not, he really embodies all of those interesting qualities
of the South that I mentioned and more.
---
Dungeon Family fans, David Banner fans,
fans of music with heart and soul and something to digest,
hop on board.
