Les Petit Pilous - The Bloody Beetroots

The name speaks for itself, The Bloody Beetroots are simply amazing. A classic beetroot song, plus a solid remix right underneath it.


LES PETITS PILOUS - HOUSI (FCKN CREW RMX)

Artist Profile - Foals


This is just a band who straight up deserves more attention than they get. Still considered an indie band, they put out some great new age rock singles. Great mix between a slow and fast beat mid song.

Chevy Woods - Red Cup Music (Mixtape)

New mixtape out, this one, by the Taylor Gang member, Chevy Woods. Rollin with Mac Miller, Chevy has gained some recognition from songs such as "Paper Route" and Wiz Khalifa's track "Homicide". Red Cup Music is Chevy's first offering to hip-hop and the track that stands out on this one is definitely "Jimmy Fallon". I'm a tad biased because I heard the song live in concert, but it's still a definite party jam. Player and Download link below:

The DNC - Electric (Feat. Miss Amani)

New music from the DNC. This track is a super catchy electro-hop jam that i've had on repeat for a couple of days now. The DNC has a similar feel to that of Tinie Tempah, except that his style is a tad more electronic rather than focused on the hip-hop. However, Miss Amani's contrast in tone against the DNC where it seems as if the two are talking to one another, makes the song more enjoyable for me. Player and Download below:

Macklemore - Irish Celebration (Feat. Ryan Lewis)

Ok, so this song is rather old, but in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, I thought it deserves a post. Macklemore dives straight into his Irish heritage with this feel good jam. This song makes you want to raise your glass, sing along and continue to drink. Player and Download below:

Irish Celebration- Macklemore (Feat. Ryan Lewis)

Mike Stud - In This Life (Feat. Loggy)

New music from Mike Stud, the former Duke baseball player and current Georgetown graduate student, and Loggy, the former UC-Berkley wide receiver. Honestly, this track blows any other Mike Stud material i've heard out of the water, and kind of changes my opinion about him as an artist. Loggy's verse also adds more strength to the song, and the chorus is undeniably catchy. Player and Download below:
In This Life (feat. Loggy)- Mike Stud

It's the Dean's List - Caveman (Feat. Dani Ummel)

New song from It's the Dean's List and this one continues to show their strength in production and their strength lyrically. Dani Ummel also does her thing on this track. So what if The Drive In just came out, it's not like i'll turn down music from ITDL. No download, only streaming for now.

Tyler the Creator - Yonkers

This song is somewhat old, but after just being introduced to Tyler the Creator, and the rest of OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All), this was a must post, along with the video. These guys are known for their unusual antics and are known for a genre called "horrorcore". Their act has gotten them gigs on MTV and with Jimmy Fallon. This track, "Yonkers" is on Tyler's upcoming mixtape, Goblin. Tyler and the rest of the gang have their own unique way of doing things, which helps them stand out against the rest of the artists out there. Cannot wait to see what these guys do next. Player and download below:

David Guetta - Louder Than Words (Feat. Afrojack)

This track has been out for a bit, but it never ceases to get me pumped up. Great collabo from 2 legends in the house/electro genre.

Kanye West - All of the Lights (Remix) (Feat. Drake, Wayne & Big Sean)


LOVED the original version of this single from Kanye and others. The remix is just as good. Kanye just knows his stuff, and can always get together a star studded cast.

All Of The Lights (Remix)

Lupe Fiasco - Stereo Sun

Single from Lupe Fiasco that didn't make Lasers. Apparently, he's been performing this song on his Lasers tour, so the thought was that this would be on the album. However, this track didn't make the cut, which is rather unfortunate. But the beat on this song is so good, and Lupe does his usual MC Mastery. But this blog is a little bit biased, we do love Lupe. Player and Download below:

Kam Royal - Lyrical Exercise #3

Newest installment from Kam Royal. After hitting 300 twitter followers, he decided to release his third lyrical exercise for all his fans to hear. I have to say, with each one that he puts out. you can see the continual growth of his flow and lyrical wisdom on each track. Especially on this one, where he speeds and slows the flow with ease.

If you haven't followed Kam Royal on twitter already, do so @KAMRoyal

Mac Miller - Best Day Ever (Mixtape)

This is a day late, but here's the new Mac Miller mixtape, Best Day Ever. I've given it a listen through and i'd have to say, it's not as good as his first mixtape K.I.D.S. which hit 100,000 downloads, but this tape is still a must download. Mac Miller keeps a very mellow and chill tone on most of these tracks and lets his wordplay do the trick. I would say that my favorite songs on the tape after one go-through are "All Around the World" and "Snooze". You can download the tape from the link below and add to the over 60,000+ that have already downloaded the tape. Also, the player below has all the tracks on the tape for you to preview.

New song from Mac Miller produced by Ritz Reynolds. Imma keep this post short, because his mixtape Best Day Ever is due out on Friday, and i'll give more commentary. For now, enjoy this laidback track.

Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks (Album EP)

Childish Gambino is putting out more than the sluttiest girl in your grade. He's been leaking music on what it seems like every week, and it continues to be really good. His new installment, his EP, features the song "Freaks and Geeks" which was posted on this site a while back. Cannot wait to keep hearing from this comedic/lyrical genius.

Team OCD: Moosh & Twist - Up Before the World (Mixtape)

This dynamic duo was featured a couple weeks ago for their single "Black Forest Gummie Worms". That track, which didn't make it to the mixtape, fails in comparison to the project that this mixtape is a whole. This is a must download for all people who just want a chill mixtape to listen to. You can download the mixtape from their website, with the link below:

Team OCD Homepage

Also, here's one of their hottest songs from the album, a single named after LA Clippers star, "Blake Griffin":

King Fantastic v. Rusko - Why? Where? What? (Troublemaker Edit)

Came across this mash-up today, and had to post it. The track throws together King Fantastic's "Why? Where? What?" and Rusko's house hit "Hold On". Both tracks are great independently, but when you throw them together, it's an interesting fusion of gangster rap and an electro jam. I think this is a really solid 1v1 mash-up and have it on repeat as of right now. Player and download below:

Britney Spears - Til the World Ends

I remember growing up I had a huge crush on Spears, until her career took a U-Turn in the wrong direction. Now in her comeback stage, her music has her on the up-and-up once again. Her first single, "Hold It Against Me" was a success, even integrating some background dubstep into the track. Britney's new single, "Til the World Ends" has more of a dancehall feel to it, but is still catchy. It reminds me of her tracks, "Kill the Lights" and "Circus" from her 2008 album of the same name. Britney has caught onto the idea that electronic-based tracks are slowly becoming increasingly popular in today's mainstream, and she's running with it. Her new album, Femme Fatale, is due out March 29th, and even though I don't want to admit it, i'm excited to go and get it.

Download - Britney Spears - Til the World Ends

OnCue - It Usually Goes

The sample on this track is absolutely great, and OnCue does his usual job of mixing his lyrics with somewhat of a passionate and "Singing-like" tone, which I really enjoy in his music. This track shows his continued growth as an artist, and as stated before, the sampling used by the producer, CJ Luzi, is very good. Player and download below:

Snoop Dogg - Boom (Feat. T-Pain)

Another Snoop Dogg post, another hot song. This one, features the apprentice of autotune, Teddy Pain himself. "Boom" is a Scott Storch produced track that will be featured on Snoop's up-and-coming album Doggumentary, which is due out March 29th. This is not one of the headliners of the album, but has a traditional catchy T-Pain chorus, and Snoop delivers his cool gangster flow over the beat, making this a song worth listening to. Player and Download below:

Young Wild and Free - Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg


Just the latest track on Wiz Khalifa's road to being a bonafide star. The leader of the current young internet rappers pairs up with a huge legend and close friend Snoop. This song is going to be on the soundtrack for their upcoming movie High School.

Young, Wild And Free

Porter Robinson

Make way for a new name in the electro-house scene. This kid, Porter Robinson, is only 18 years old, and coming out of North Carolina, is making some noise, literally. What's really surprising is that his style seems so developed because the sound his tracks deliver are very unique. His track "Say My Name" is already a huge hit, and he has many other successful tracks, a few of which are below. He layers so many different sounds on top of one another, yet they all come together to make a great track in the end. Here are some of my favorite tracks of his, and the song I mentioned before, "Say My Name":

Porter Robinson - I'm On Fire

Porter Robinson - The Wildcat

Timeflies - The Chase

Timeflies dropped their most recent track, "The Chase" a couple of days ago, and having not heard it until now, I would've posted it earlier. This track is a variation from what i'm used to from the hip-hop duo. It's a slower paced song, and has hints of dubstep throughout the whole track. Not very, heavy hitting dub, more just chill background noise to serve to the verses and the "singing" almost. Timeflies is another group to look out for and they're performing with Kinetics & One Love in NYC tomorrow. Exciting! Player and Download below:

Childish Gambino - It's On

Childish Gambino continues to impress with each track that he leaks out. This one I had never heard before, but apparently he dropped it right on New Years. He's already got me sold on the idea that he can rap. Going over what sounds like Wiz Khalifa's "Real Estate". He once again tears up the beat. Player and Download Below:

Childish Gambino - It's On

KillaGraham Remix - Cudi Zone

Filthy track.. You know what your getting with Cudi, and his songs always seem to mix well.

Cudi Zone (K1llaGraham Remix)

Steve Aoki, Laidback Luke and Lil Jon - Turbulence

Great mix by Steve Aoki as always.. Lil Jon may be low on my list of favorite rappers, but he fits well on this track.


And the remix-

Laidback Luke & Steve Aoki feat. Lil' Jon - Turbulence (Inquisitive Edit)

The Downtown Fiction - I Just Wanna Run


Normally I could give two shits about the soundtracks for a show im watching. But during last weeks episode of Jersey Shore(yes I watch Jersey Shore) this song came on and I was feeling it. This band is relatively unheard of, and newly formed in 2008.




And here is the remix:

Team OCD: Moosh & Twist - Black Forest Gummie Worms

I swear High School students sometimes have the most raw potential to become big artists, because besides class, what else do you have going on? Why not write? OCD, a group from Pennsylvania, is another group that belongs to this echelon of rappers. There next mixtape Up Before the World, is set to release March 7th. The hype around the tape is immense, some people saying it'll compete for the mixtape of the year. This track, will not be on the mixtape, but is a quality preview of what you can expect quality-wise from this duo. Player and Download below:

It's the Dean's List - The Drive-In (Mixtape)

This mixtape is absolutely dope. The anticipation for It's the Dean's List's mixtape The Drive-In was high  with their fans, especially after all the leaks and previews that they continued to put out. And honestly, i'm a few songs in, and it's amazing. The mixtape has a super chill vibe, and all the beats are absolute works of art. The production is great, and these guys are going to continue to have success with music like this. Featured below is one of the singles that they leaked from the mixtape which is one of the better produced tracks on the entire mixtape. It's more upbeat than most of the other tracks, but its still extremely well put together. You can download the mixtape from the link below the player:

El Capitan - Melted

Here's some trip-hop, ambient music from a kid you've probably never heard of. Composer El Capitan enfuses his own style in all of his electronic jams. His newest project, "Melted" is very catchy and has been on repeat in my iTunes for a while. I've been following El Capitan for a while, and he is continuing to progress as a composer and a musical artist. I can't wait to hear more from him. Player and download below:

El Capitan - Melted

And if you're interested in the rest of his music, you can visit his tindeck page and preview and download until you have them all:

T-Pain - I'm Dancin (Feat. Flo Rida)

New song from Teddy Pain featuring Flo Rida. These two both go back to what made them blow up, with a catchy club track. T-Pain does his whole auto-tune thing, on the verses and the choruses, and Flo Rida comes through on the last verse, with a similar flow to that of his original single, "Low". I don't see this one turning to an top-of-the-charts hit, but I see this one surfacing into the club scene in the near future.
T-Pain - Im Dancin (Feat. Flo Rida)

Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know (Protohype Remix)



Ok so this song isnt exactly new. But its relatively new to me, and im noticing it will probably be new to most of you. Just another solid dubstep song to bump.

Top Flight - Swagged Out


A couple weeks back I told all you guys that we would be bringing you some more new material from Top Flight. Turns out the wait is shorter than expected. Top Flight has 2 new singles on Swagged Out Volume 1, which features solid mashes from a bunch of different artists.

Heres the download link for the entire album: Swagged Out: Volume 1 (Download)



Not done yet though, lemme show some respect for one song in particular from the tape. Shine on is better than any song off his first album The Print Shop. Good shit.

e-dubble - Written Thursday (Mixtape)

My man e-dubble is a freestyle freak. Coming out of Baltimore, Maryland, he challenged himself to release a freestyle track, every Friday for a whole year. And after 365 days, and about 50+ tracks later, he completed it. I most certainly haven't heard all of them, but the ones that I have heard are absolutely awesome and super creative. This mixtape, Written Thursday, throws 23 of the best freestyles and links them together seamlessly for continuous listening. Here's a player so you can sample some of the mixtape before you click the link below to go and download his mixtape for free:

Brenton Duvall - Tryouts (Feat. Childish Gambino)

Brenton does it again. The man has slowly grow from mash-up artist, to one of the game's more well known producers. I remember listening to "Mean Planes and Taylor Gangs" and thinking that he had serious potential. Now he's producing beats for people all over the place including Young Prince, Kam Royal and many others. This track samples Gambino's verses from a song from his mixtape The Culdesac and is extremely well put together. Imagine both of them collaborating on a song, that would be on repeat for days. Player and Download below.

TRYOUTS (Brenton Duvall Remix with Childish Gambino)

Lupe Fiasco - All Black Everything


Lupe is continuing to leak great songs from his album like he said he would. Lasers, which is due out March 8th, has the potential to be an album that could maintain a longevity of success because each track is simply a work of art. His new song, "All Black Everything" is a track the Lupe has declared as "one of the best he's ever made." This song is more of an informative track and speaks volumes to African-American history and influence. I simply cannot wait for this album, and I might actually go out and buy the whole thing.

Mac Miller - She Said

Mac Miller is officially here. His first single "Knock Knock" is officially listed on iTunes for purchasing. And just today, he made XXL Magazine's Class of 2011, which highlights the hot new talents in the Hip-Hop Industry. As a gift to his fans to celebrate, he released this new song called "She Said". Another typical Mac song, and they continue to be great. Mac is continuing to grow, not only as another college kid trying to make it, because he's definitely there. Now he's fine tuning his talents, and taking them to a whole new level. Player and download below.

Ne-Yo - Tonight Give (Me Everything)

New Ne-Yo track, whose name I haven't heard of much as of recently. I was more of a fan of his slow R&B tracks such as "So Sick" from his initial album. However, he's started doing more uptempo songs such as "Beautiful Monster" one of his last singles. Regardless, Ne-Yo can take any song, fast or slow, and sing about women with ease. This new track, "Tonight Give" is no different. I like it more than "Beautiful Monster" and it's definitely more club oriented. Not sure if it's going to blow up as a very popular track, but I could see DJs doing lots of club remixes to this track. Player and Download below.

Ne-Yo - Tonight (Give Me Everything)

Kam Royal - Lyrical Exercises (1 & 2)


Kam Royal continues to make good music. We haven't featured him in a post specifically yet, but his "Starry Eyed Remix" track was featured when we discussed Elie Goulding. But Kam deserves his own time in the spotlight, because he seems to have shot up quicker than most artists do. Kam's been taking his music more seriously, and the results are showing. His first mixtape, Business as Usual, received great feedback, and is a must download. Now, along with his upcoming mixtape with fellow DC Native Young Prince, Kam has been dropping tracks he calls Lyrical Exercises. Both of these show Kam's flexibility as a rapper, with clever lyricism and a flow that's rather spot on. Check them both out, and if you're feeling his vibe, go like him on Facebook or follow him on twitter @KamRoyal.

Donnis - Me & My Boo


Donnis. Another rapper slowly making a name for himself. His song "Gone" is a party anthem with a catchy chorus and clever wordplay. "Me & My Boo" is the second single from his next project Southern Lights. Donnis definitely has the tools to continue to grow as an artist, with a unique sound to his vocals, and with catchy hooks, he's gunna be hard to miss.

Donnis - Me & My Boo

Fortune Family - Paradox (EP)

I swear there's a lyrical talent in almost every state in the nation, you just need to do some research. This duo from NYU, Hop and Reef, are two very talented MC's. I first heard of them when I saw their music video for "My Energy" which is the track on the player below. Honestly, that song was on repeat for so long because I fell in love with that chorus. But this EP, there newest release, sports names like Hoodie Allen and OnCue to help the resume. Download Link above the player.

Chiddy Bang - Baby Roulette (Feat. Train)

Alright so I've definitely been slack as of lately in regards to sharing music with everyone. The reason I started this blog was to make posts daily, because I wanted to let everyone know about the new stuff that was coming out, and do it on a consistent basis. As of recently, i've been a little bit busier, but I'm going to make a much better effort going forward, and I apologize for my lack of efforts.

New Chiddy Bang has been leaked featuring a sample from the alternative group Train. Seriously, Xaphoon Jones can sample anyone and make it sound dope. Also, Chiddy does his usual lyrical work, and it sounds like his usual flow, which is enjoyable for me. Cannot wait for this duo to drop an album, with all the Xaphoon production, Chiddy lyricism, and hot sampling.

Needed Change - Skrillex (Feat. 12th Planet)


If you havent figured it out by now, I love me some Skrillex. You can find him all over my iTunes library. Most of my friends are probably tired of hearing for months now about how much I enjoy his music. And this song is no exception. The picture above features him and Rusko side by side, and his tour has become a worldwide smash hit. Definitely give this new single a listen.

Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks

Does this face look familiar? You probably recognize it from the once popular "Bro-Rape" video that traveled through the internet via Derrick Comedy. Donald Glover, is an actor, writer and musician known as "Childish Gambino". You also may have seen him on the TV Series Community on ABC. Gambino's rap career has been highlighted with a couple of mixtapes, the most recent one being Culdesac in which his rap topics take on more serious topics than his previous ones. His new track, "Freaks and Geeks" is a free verse song with no chorus, but some of the bars in this song are very clever. I usually am not a fan of songs where rappers just throw together lines that rhyme about their lives, girls, partying, etc. But Gambino's unique voice delivering those bars makes it a lil more captivating for my attention. Player and download below:

Wale - The Break Up Song (Feat. Morgan Freeman)


That's correct, Morgan Freeman, opens up the music video with an almost minute long narrative to set the background for the story. The new music video for the song was recently shot at Howard University in Washington D.C. This song was originally featured on his mixtape More About Nothing but has blown up recently due to the video and the up and coming Valentines Day. Video above, download below:

Paper Diamond - Levitate


We posted about Pretty Lights earlier this month, but Paper Diamond is a new artist on their label. Producer Alex B, takes these electronic tacks and allows the high energy to take over. Deep bass and rumbles set the tone underneath synths, melodies, and vocal drops. I personally love the album because each track sounds unique. You can download the album and donate to Pretty Lights Music below the player:

Tiesto & Hardwell - Zero 76


Tiesto needs no introduction. His resume reads like a novel, and MixMag just dubbed him Greatest DJ of All-Time. He hopped on this track with Hardwell, who to be honest I was not familiar with up until today. Voted best new electro-house DJ of 2010 and combining with a household name like Tiesto, look for alot more from each in the future.


Tiesto & Hardwell - Zero 76

Sam Adams - Coming Home

Alright I recognize I'm a little late on this song and this post, but that's because this song slowly grew on me. This track is in the complete different direction of Sam's usual upbeat party style tracks. "Coming Home" features a Sammy sung chorus, and some verses that reminisce about being back in Boston. At first, I felt this was a little out of his element, but after listening to it a couple of times, it grew on me. Now it's somewhat  of a feel good jam that makes me think about being back in the house I grew up in. Player and Download below:

Sam Adams - Coming Home

Top Flight - The Print Shop


A good friend showed me some of Top Flights mash-ups a couple months back and thought it had potential. Since then, this college mash artist has added more than a few new fans. Still work to be done, but definitely give this album a listen.


Goone - Grapefruit Starship

Disregard the unique title, Goone means serious business. I had heard about Goone through a friend of mine, and heard his collaboration "Just a Dream" featuring Kam Royal. (Both of which, are opening for Machine Gun Kelly at University of Missouri this weekend) When his mixtape Grapefruit Starship had been released, I had enjoyed "Just a Dream" so much originally, that I figured that I would give this mixtape a chance. And I was simply blown away.

What even makes this tape more unique, is the track-list is a story:

Grapefruit Starship takes you through the journey of Goone’s world.  After falling in love, Goone’s heart is torn apart by the very woman that captured it.  He is sent into a hypnotic whirldwind of drinking, smoking, and partying, working to drown his past.  Amidst his psychedelic spiral, Goone winds up stumbling into a vision of his future; a prophecy that pulls him back onto his feet and into a world he never could have dreamed.  On a path elevated to new and unimaginable heights, Goone prepares for the unstoppable ride that lies ahead. This is Grapefruit Starship.


This tape features many other up-and-coming artists as well including Kam Royal, Drew32, Loggy & Mike Stud. Also on a couple of tracks he gets great contrasting tones on his choruses from Titus Ramiz & Lauren Vogel. His beats are crazy dope, and his lyrics are strong, but still very clever. This is a must download. Download the whole thing for free at Datpiff. Here's the player for the preview:




Tinie Tempah - Wonderman (Feat. Ellie Goulding)

This track wreaks of British invasion. Rather than another Ellie Goulding dubstep remix, we see her share this track with Tinie Tempah. If you haven't heard of Tinie, thats because he's a growing sensation in the US, but his name is well-known in his home country of the UK. His first album Disc-Overy debuted his talents as a rapper with hit singles including "Written in the Stars" and "Miami 2 Ibiza". This track has a very unique feel to it, with multiple genres blending well together. Not to mention Ellie Goulding's beautiful voice all over the Chorus. This song may not be he best offering to music, but Tinie Tempah is about to take the US by storm.

Tinie Tempah Feat. Ellie Goulding - Wonderman

And here is a more electronic/house version of the song. The Wonderman Jacob Planet Remix. It slows the track down a little bit, but I still enjoy it.

Rusko- Everyday


Day by day Rusko is growing in popularity. Ive been following him for awhile now, and he produces music that never fails to pump me up. He has yet to fail me, and his new single Everyday is no exception. Look for him to get even bigger in 2011, using his brilliant producing mind behind many different types of artists such as Sam Adams and even newer Britney Spears.


Rusko - Everyday

Rock City - Keep It Coming

Which leads me to make this post about Rock City. This dynamic duo from St. Thomas on the US Virgin Islands bring a unique tropical sound to their R&B Jams. Timothy and Theron Thomas are two brothers on a mission to bring their music to the mainstream. Since their dispute with their last label, they've started their own label "Rebelution". Funny fact about them, they were originally on the hook for the song "Forever" by Drake, but after the initial artist (Kardinal Offshall) didn't use it on his album, the beat was re-sold to Drake, and the super hit was created.
Here's one of their more recent tracks, entitled "Keep It Coming". Also, below that, here's one of their top singles from 2010, "Morning Noon and Night" which was produced by David Guetta. Rock City is possibly one of my favorite artists just because of their unique sound that they bring to the table. Cannot wait for their next mixtape, Struggles and Love Songs.

Rock City - Keep It Coming

Rock City - Morning Noon & Night (Prod. By David Guetta)

Akon - Wanna Rock (Feat. Rock City)

This is officially a BANGER. This song by Akon featuring Rock City from the Virgin Islands just recently was released. It's ironic because of the huge contractual dispute Rock City had with Akon's label. Basically, the group signed to Konvict Musik, but the label refused to put their record out, so Rock City dipped. But this song is hot, and is probably the leader in the movement to get all these secret collaboration tracks out with Akon and Rock City. No download link avaliable.

Cam Meekins - Livin It Up

New song from young and talented artist. I honestly had never come across Cam Meekins, so this was my first track that I had heard from him. This rapper from Boston has created a substantial buzz for himself. And get this, the kid is only 17 and still in high school. This track "Livin It Up" is from his up and coming mixtape 1993. The chorus is very recognizable which is probably why this song is so catchy for me. But if most of the songs are as catchy as this one, it will be a definite download for me.

Livin it Up - Cam Meekins

Featured below is a song with a similar hook from Drake. In fact, thinking about it now, it's very similar to the Tom's Diner chorus, just sped up a little bit.

Drake - I Get Paper
