Cassius Tae – Fifth Night On The Block (Video)
We’ve loved Cassius Tae’s record Fifth Night On The Block from the start. Ever since the audio dropped right at the end of August I’ve been hoping for some type of visual. My prayers were answered a few days ago when he gave me a sneak peak of the video and told me it was dropping…

Ocean Baileux – Can You Meet Me? (New Track)
Asha O-Ren recently sent me her stunning new song Stars. (which we posted) I heard some beautiful vocals at the end. I noticed the song featured a girl named Ocean Baileux, and after some investigation we linked on Twitter immediately. She very kindly just shared her newest track Can You Meet Me? I knew she was someone to…

Cadillac Cat feat. Noah O – Dirty Deposits (New Track)
Virginia native Cadillac Cat literally just dropped one of his strongest tracks to date in the form of Dirty Deposits. Noah O hops on as a feature and they deliver a stunning performance with a simple but incredibly catchy + melodic hook.

King Osa (feat. Wani + Carla) – Friend Zone (New Track)
Chicago native King Osa has invited Wani + Carla to jump on his newest track Friend Zone. In all honesty songs on this topic have gotten a bit overdone, but these guys really make it their own. I’d call it more pop than r&b just off the catchiness and touch of autotune. My man Aced…

SQUiRE – Miss You (New Track)
I tend to always look out for new music from SQUiRE. We’ve posted him a few times in the past…I’ve even written a review of his latest project SQUiREViLLE on The Demo Tape. His album artwork is always A1, and his most recent release, Miss You, has a cover that is simple, full of color, and dope.…

devMaccc – Workin’ On Da Low (New Track)
I just got introduced to adevMaccc, but he’s already delivered one of my favorite loosies of December. The Mississippi native doesn’t stay in one lane when making music releasing vibey cuts, trap bangers, and emotional cuts. Workin’ On Da Low is an uptempo track about plotting tirelessly on his craft. You can tell a lot…
