Brooklyn MC Joey Bada$$ linked with the West Coast’s Schoolboy Q to create “Rockabye Baby,” a pure hip hop banger. With a hard beat courtesy of Dial-1-900 & Chuck Strangers, both artists do what they do best, and the result is flawless. This is a must hear, and we’re looking forward to Joey’s upcoming album AABA.
Mike WiLL Made It just dropped the visual for “On The Come Up,” featuring Big Sean, who’s also been on a roll this year. This cinematic video directed by Mike Piscitelli is everything you could hope for from a mainstream rap video; baddies, dope cars, and of course a whole bunch of fire. Enjoy!
Ever since Killer Mike and El-P teamed up to form Run The Jewels they’ve been defying expectations all the while putting out excellent music and maybe even better videos.

Roxy Jr. is the latest brainchild of Chicago musician Mark Wendell. The debut single [MINK//KISS] features 90’s rock vibes with dreamy vocals, relatable lyrics and wonderfully minimalist instrumentation, all of which is performed solely by Wendell himself. This one’s a bit out of our wheelhouse, but we thought it was worth the post. Enjoy!
Veteran producer Amp Live has been blurring lines between genres for close to two decades. From boom bap and reggae beginnings as one half of legendary Oakland hip hop duo Zion I, to filthy dubstep productions alongside the likes of Bassnectar and others, Amp Live proves that there are no rules in music. His latest offering, the Atmostphere EP on Gravitas Records has little bit of everything we’ve come to hope for from the versatile producer. There’s elements of poppy EDM influence, classic hip hop, reggae, trap, dubstep and little dash of something that’s unique to Amp himself. With some awesome features from Eligh, Lana Shea, and Cristina Soto to round it out, this EP is a great listen for any music fan.

We haven’t heard much from Cory Gunz, but it’s clear he hasn’t fallen off. He stopped by Hot 97 in NYC to murder this 5 plus minute freestyle with some of the hottest bars we’ve heard this year. Funk Flex has been on a roll with dope guests as of late, and this one has us looking forward to seeing what Cory has in store for this year.

NY Rapper Mysonne popped up seemingly out of nowhere to get on Funk Flex’s show and spit and insane freestyle for almost the whole 8 minute clip. It’s clear that the veteran MC isn’t feeling a lot of the new rappers out today, and he goes off with subliminal and overt disses and some amazing punch lines. This one is a must watch!

Flume continues to be one of the most impressive musicians in the electronic DJ/Producer realm, where “actual talent” sometimes comes into question. He once again hit the mark with the super dark, bass heavy “Enough,” which features a few scorching verses and an understated hook from King Push himself. This shit goes.
Raekwon continues to stay relevant after decades in the game. He tapped the much younger G-Eazy for “Purple Brick Road,” a J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League produced banger that successfully blends Chef’s boom-bap roots with the modern radio appeal you’d expect from Eazy and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Enjoy!
TDE’s latest signee SiR recently dropped the visual for his single “All In My Head,” off his new EP Her Too, his first release on the label.
