Josh Dillon – LIMBO (The Best Song You’ll Hear All Day)
SoundCloud is the GOAT. I just found a new song from Canadian artist Josh Dillon on the site, and it is by far my favorite discovery of the week. Josh is incredibly talented, with an inviting voice and perfectly executed and melodic flow. He’s only dropped a handful of records, but all have done really well.…

Weegi Wizers – Free Your Mind (New Track)
Just last week we wrote about Weegi Wizers and his Weegi Wednesday’s Campaign. Today, we’ve got the 4th installment of the series with Free Your Mind. The track is a little more relaxed (with help from producer Jake Finesse) and definitely provocative. He mentions Grand Theft Auto… and that might be a selling point for…

C.Shreve + Mike L!VE – Niburu (Holy Crap) (New Track)
C.Shreve is one of the most talented lyricists in North Carolina. Yeah, I said it. We were very impressed with his Catacombs video…so much that we wrote 4 paragraphs on it alone. We also talked about his incredible output of music. Well, more music is here with new song Niburu (Holy Crap). Shreve isn’t alone on this…

We spoke to every official member, and included their music and photos. One of the most outspoken in the interview was Lord Trippy. While he didn’t have any…

Breeze – Trillmatic Freestyle (New Track + Video)
Freestyles tend to be on the shorter side – but the West Side of Chicago rapper + producer Breeze strays away from this trend. His new freestyle to A$AP Mob’s 2013 single Trillmatic, is 4 minutes long; and there are no spaces in-between. Director Rickee Arts provides a gritty, 90’s nostalgic visual, (shot in 4K resolution)…

Jimmy Pham – Room 202 (New EP + Extensive Review)
R&B artists experiment from time to time with distorted vocals, abstract beats, and occasionally both. But, it’s a rare occurrence when a vocalist breaks boundaries throughout an entire project. Although Jimmy Pham’s newest EP Room 202 is only 3 full tracks, (there are 3 interludes) every facet of the project is in a realm of it’s…

KoVu – Bad Guy (New Track)
Back in November KoVu rocked a headlining show in Chicago, gaining new supporters and fans. It’s been about a month since KoVu gave us something new on SoundCloud, but we are in luck. Just a few days ago he gave us his funkiest track yet, with great thanks to producer Falcxne. KoVu knows how to…
