Austin Fair – TTrouble In Paradise Album (Premiere + Interview)
Austin Fair is under appreciated, at least in my eyes. He released an excellent project, Chicopee Falls (it has since been taken off of SoundCloud) earlier this year, but it didn’t garner the full attention it deserved. After a few months of recording, he hopes his freshly dropped full length album TTrouble In Paradise will…

Richie Wess – War Ft. OG Maco (Video)
I first heard about Richie Wess after Kevin Gates re-posted Ride Around, a track released by Richie and featuring Gates. It is the standout cut from Wess Side Story, a mixtape released two years ago. I followed Richie on SoundCloud, hoping to hear another good collaboration from him, and here it was. The song’s official…

Chris Prythm – Way Up (Remix) (New Track)
Chris Prythm is nice on the mic. Using the popular Fat Joe and Remy Ma Way Up beat, he and Kimbro have given us some intricate bars to play back. Chris has worked with everyone from Lloyd Banks to Pusha-T and is 1/4 of the iLL-iteracy crew. Give it a spin above.

Neon Pajamas – Sleeping feat. Ju, bleeklino, Yomí and Melo Makes Music (prod. by Jaro + Boathouse) (New Track)
It is almost mid August and the notoriously chilly Chicago fall will be hitting us pretty soon. But track Sleeping, hosted by respective Mishka blogger Neon Pajamas (aka Ben Niespodziany), is applicable for any season. It is an angelic, with 10 people contributing to this Jaro and Boathouse’s produced song. I am a big fan…

Isaiah Rashad – Free Lunch (New Track)
Isaiah Rashad has been pretty silent in the last 7 months. His most recent release was in the form of Nelly and then Smile but there wasn’t a lot of info on whether or not the songs would make it on an upcoming project. Finally we get a strong sign of a single from an (fingers crossed)…

Noteworthy Tracks: Lil Uzi Vert’s The Perfect Luv Tape
I was salty this past April 28th. It was a Thursday night, but it felt like it a Saturday back in high school when all my friends were headed to go see a movie and I was stuck doing homework because I had procrastinated so much from the week before. Yeah; it would get that…

Vic Mensa + Joey Purp – 773 Freestyle (New Track)
Joey Purp tweeted about it, and here it is. New music from the Save Money brothers. 773 is a freestyle session sprinkled with lyrics from the heavily shared Sway In the Morning video released a couple of weeks ago. I’m not sure if these verses are completely off the top, but either way it was quiet a treat…

Ju Preach – Notice (New Track)
Ju Preach knows how to pick the right beats to compliment his flow and voice. Let me just get that off my chest. Notice is my introduction to this Milwaukee lyricist, but I seem to be playing catch up to the rest of tons of SoundCloud listeners. This one was released about an hour ago,…
