WNDBRKN – Night Time (New Instrumental)
An instrumental piece hasn’t hit our pages in quiet some time…thankfully WNDBRKN has given us a goodie. Night Time is a short cut, but fits it’s title well. I imagine the most effective place to play this is a on a late night walk, preferably through some dark woods. A few days ago WND gave us…

Mpulse – Start It Over (New Track)
Mpulse’s winning streak is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before from an emcee. In week 13 of his 52 week series he drops off a more heartfelt track in Start It Over. The song is entirely self produced (which happens often) and speaks on the music industry that can often be a fickle business (for…

Amon – Amen (New Track)
📸: @threehoursago Another positive message from one of my favorite discoveries, Amon. Amen may be my favorite track from the San Diego emcee that can’t seem to lose. It’s definitely an r&b track, but has a classic sound and a melodic chorus. With that being said, he raps his ass off as always. Once again…

Plainro (feat. Tiffany Hines) – CHNLS (New Track)
Chicago’s Plainro dropped one of the year’s best EP’s in LEAVES. It hit the web in late October and should have gotten way more buzz as the multi talented artist has a great ability to switch up genres and make every song sound beautiful. His newest offering, CHNLS has his signature sound containing breezy vocals…

Ye Bandz – Po It Up (Video)
Ye Bandz has some upcoming projects in the vault (his debut The Notebook and Major Setbacks) that will be impacting soon. To hold us over he’s dropped the video to the first single off The Notebook titled Po It Up. The instrumental is relaxing and hazy with an appropriate video to match. It’s mostly a chorus,…

Matt McGhee – Playing It Safe/Selfish (New Track)
Matt McGhee hit my SoundCloud stream last night with Playing It Safe/Selfish and I automatically pressed play. No surprises: it was great. Previous release Carnival (below) was a genre bending beauty…automatically one of my favorite songs of the first half of the year. Playing It Safe/Selfish is a two part track done exactly right. The…

femdot. – to(u). (New EP + Extensive Review)
femdot.’s debut project femdelacreme was my introduction to the young emcee. I lost touch with his music as he dropped the king dilla EP, but jumped right back in with fo(u)r. I wasn’t expecting three more releases…and that they would all be connected. 2016 has been his year as thr(we). hit us in the summer. We’ve just gotten another EP…

branDun DeShay -goldUn Child 2 (New Project)
I recently read an excellent interview (from years ago) with branDun DeShay right before he dropped the first installment of his GoldUn Child mixtape. I hit Apple Music right away and gave it a listen and it was great. It’s hard to find Asian inspired hip hop, but I always enjoy the music that comes out of it.…
