IMMA Hittah feat. Hugo Tone – Real Quick (Video)
High Vision Films always creates great visuals. The new video to IMMA Hittah + Hugo Tone’s new song Real Quick is great as usual. These dudes get pretty crazy on this one. It matches the tone of the song perfectly and the chorus got me hyped. Get your blood pumping and peep.

Damien The Architect – Cooler By The Fan (Video)
A music video about fixing fans. Yup. I mean I guess I should have guessed it from the start. Still, at first I was skeptical on the new visual from Damien The Architect, but once the music dropped there was no doubt in my mind the theme was going to work. Something about seeing dude sitting…

Chandy – Rosa (produced by Netherfriends) (New Track)
Chandy and Netherfriends on a track? I’m in windy city heaven. These dudes have been working their asses off for what seems like forever and have made a huge name for themselves in Chicago.

Those ad-libs though. Jas$per is different, a bit odd and excentric. Yesterday he started a Periscope stream about his tattoos.…

He’s worked with a host of great artists, most famously, Rory Fresco. He’s only 20 years old and has already created timeless beats that are…

Devon Culbert – Pinot Noir (New Track)
Ok, I’m definitely with this. Devon Culbert went hard on new release Pinot Noir. He provided the lyrics to the track (which is a really good idea) on Rap Genius. Check it out here, you’ll be amazed at what you didn’t catch. He calls this some “real shit” which you’ll hear within the first few…
