As another installment of the Still Movin Mondays weekly release, Demrick dropped off this laid back, self proclaimed “summer shit,” the DJ Hoppa produced “Superficial.” The bouncy track has a great feel-good vibe, and a unique message, as Demrick explores the less greedy side of ambition with more confidence in his voice than ever. This one’s definitely going on the summer playlist!
Rising star Mija just dropped a brand new track “Time Stops,” courtesy of Adult Swim Singles, as part of their ambitious 52 songs in 52 weeks. She originally debuted the track live a few months back, and people have been wondering what it was ever since! Energetic upbeat vibes and stimulating synths drive this magical journey of a song people are describing as happy hardcore. You might be hearing this at a festival or two this summer. Enjoy, and look out for the next installment of Adult Swim Singles!
Spanish producer Cookin Soul just dropped off this unexpected blend of two of this year’s biggest hit’s, Future’s “Mask Off,” and Childish Gambino’s “Redbone.” Surprisingly, it works, with a flipped version of Redbone as a soulful backdrop for Future’s apathetic vocals. The contrast is dope, and Soul managed to keep the integrity of both songs. Bonus points for making this shit on the SP-404 for the analog heads.
Mike WiLL Made It is in his prime right now. Coming off huge hype from Kendrick’s “Humble,” not to mention own recent album drop, he returns with a masterful visual treatment for “Perfect Pint.” Featuring a heavy line up of Kendrick Lamar, Gucci, and Rae Sremmurd, this hallucinogenic video is gives us a look at what Fear and Loathing might have been if lean and trap music existed in the 70’s. It doesn’t look like they spared any expense on this trippy, fun, and very well done video, it’s a must watch!
NEON84 is the brainchild of producers Beni Barca and Manotti da Vinci. They caught our attention with cool artwork, and kept us around with some dope original music. The duo has crafted their debut project the Flight of The Navigator EP a soundtrack perfectly suitable for any 1980’s high-flying sci-fi adventure. Enjoy!
Seattle duo ODESZA just released the visual for their track “Late Night,” that dropped last month.

Diem is the newest cannabis dispensary in Salem, Oregon, but they are much more than that. Their slogan “cannabis is for everyone,” isn’t about spreading our beloved plant to those who don’t want it. Instead it’s a message of inclusivity, inviting all different types of people from different backgrounds, lifestyles, and cannabis experience levels.

Mass Appeal’s Dave East released a new video for his freestyle over Drakes’s “Free Smoke.” It’s rare that anyone gets on one of Drake’s beats without embarrassing themself, but Dave really does it justice, and then some. We’ve seen a few people saying he bodied Drizzy, we’re not sure about that, but it’s definitely dope. Watch it and decide for yourself, and check for his Paranoia project to be coming soon.
Norwegian DJ/Producer and record aficionado Fredfades has been doing his thing for a minute, but we just caught wind, and we’re glad we did. This dude is the real deal, with perfectly crafted beats that balance classic sounds with modern waviness as the foundation for equally impressive ear for the curation of dope featured artists from around the world.
We’ve heard a million different rumors, but we’re pretty sure no one actually knows the origins of 420. Regardless, it’s a great time of day to smoke, and it’s turned into one hell of a party every year on April 20th around the country. We checked out some of the festivities in weed hubs around the US, here’s some of our favorite photos from the weekend.
Portland, Oregon is quickly becoming the new hot spot for weed tourists from around the country and world, and for good reason. They have great herb, microbrews, and an impressive concert scene that’s really been picking up on the hip hop side of things.

The hunt is on this Saturday April 22nd, good luck!
At this point, whether or not you like Lil Dicky, or even take him seriously, you have to acknowledge the dude is insanely creative and talented (and kind of a low key genius in our humble opinion.) The fact that Dicky dropped 750 racks on this video alone makes it worth a watch, plus it features some solid acting and plenty of hilarity. We’ve never seen anything quite like it, enjoy!
West Coast hip hop mainstay Evidence is finally back with a brand new song and video, “Throw it all away.” The track has a tranquil vibe courtesy of frequent collaborator Alchemist, and Ev really finds a pocket on this one with some dope patterns, smooth delivery, and the honest content we’ve come to expect from him over the years. The video is minimal but dope none the less, enjoy.

Like him or not, Russ is making major moves almost entirely on his own, selling out tours around the world with no openers and relentlessly releasing self written, produced, and recorded music that’s racking up millions upon millions of plays.

Peppered with b-roll footage from insane shows from dozens of locations it’s clear from this video that the Atlanta rapper has truly leveled up, and he’s damn proud of it.

King Kendrick is recently back in the spotlight as of late, and he just stepped up the intensity with his new video for “Humble,” a Mike Will Made It produced slapper that everyone’s talking about. Kendrick promised that he’s but putting the “whole industry on the ice pack,” and he wasn’t lying.
