Yung Tae – Whole Thang (New Track)
Whole Thang is one of the most experimental hip hop songs we’ve ever posted (also peep the cover art.) It makes sense as the track is a rework of one of British artist Gaika’s original recordings. If you really listen – the structure of the song is genius; full of echoing vocals (provided by Gaika), a trap…

Richie Bux – Glory (The Best Song You’ll Hear All Day)
OK – this is the best song on SoundCloud you’ll hear all day. Las Vegas’ spitter Richie Bux his dropping his new project Early Infamy very soon and apparently Glory is a throw away. Crazy! We obviously have much to look forward to. Hopefully there are some of these soulful cuts on the project, because he is…

Sober Kami – Lexus Nights (New Track)
Sober Kami doesn’t stop. At the tail end of January we premiered his dope track TGP that has since gotten tons of views on SoundCloud and the site. His newest cut Lexus Nights is a departure from this sound, but equally as stunning. It’s title is accurate…this is something you can bump in a luxury…

flowsfordays Premiere: Jimi X – Famine (New Track)
I am so honored to premiere this new cut from Jimi X. The Texas native is an incredible talent – and Famine will solidify this…no questions asked. Producer Purist Potillo (who happens to be his manager) outdoes himself on the aggressive beat bringing everything together. I thought I’d do this premiere a little differently and let…

Chicago’s Meech Doesn’t Need Saving (Exclusive Interview)
I’ve been following multi-faceted Chicago artist Meech since he dropped his excellent Saints EP. In our year end list I listed the first track off the project, Saved, as my favorite song of the year. My feelings never changed. Since then he’s dropped two strong loosies: Tango, and No Doubt. No Doubt was released just about…

Bekoe (feat. TMP) – Get It (New Track)
Who knew Bekoe could make a club hit? He recently linked with legendary producer C-Sick for a new track titled Get It. It features a sultry chorus from TMP and more pop oriented lyrics from Bekoe. The Chicago native straying away from hip hop proves his versatility as an artist. There’s a lot to love…

Marko Stat$ – Everybody Gotta Fly (Video)
Good friend and fellow flowsfordays interviewee Marko Stat$ absolutely killed this freestyle and music video. Since J. Cole’s Everybody Dies dropped, rappers have been attempting to go in on the instrumental…some successfully, some not so much. This is the first time I’ve seen an artist absolutely body the beat and at the very least match Cole’s…

Yung Dutch (feat. AiDAN) – Reaper (New Track)
There’s a reason we’ve posted a Yung Dutch track every month since December. The Chicago native mixes drug infused rhymes, hazy undertones and trap infused beats to perfection. He brings something new to the table with each drop making, his career something fun to watch. For the 3rd month in a row we’ve got another…
