Stream: Beyonce – “Bow Down/I Been On”

Mar 17, 7:54pm mostly junkfood

Wait. Hol'up. What the fuck? Beyonce unexpectedly releases a new track off of her Soundcloud that's filled with serious Terius Nash-levels of shit talk on "Bow Down/I Been On". The first part has her reminding the rest of her youthful competition where she stands and inequitably irrelevant they really are in her presence (I know when you were little girls/You've dreamt of being in my world).  All of this swirling over a high-end beat crafted by "Niggas In Paris" mastermind Hit-Boy only for things to get screwed over at the 1:30 mark. Bey continues her boastful ways [...]

10 Chopped and Screwed Songs That Never Get Old

Mar 7, 11:42am Pigeons and Planes

By Briana Cheng In the early '90s, DJ Screw created the "chopped and screwed" movement, a turntable technique where he slowed down the tempo and torqued with parts of hip-hop anthems. Toward the end of the '90s, another dude created his own brand of that and called it "chopped not slopped." This guy's name is Ronald Coleman, aka OG Ron C, and he's still going strong. He recently worked with  2 Chainz  and released a chopped not slopped rework of Based on a T.R.U. Story  and no, [...]

MobbDeen: Trae The Truth, Z-Ro, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Kirko Bangz & Bun B Are From Texas

Aug 27, 2012, 7:00am The Passion of the Weiss

Deen is eighth cousins with Fat Pat. I live in Houston. Don't try to find me - we don't play that LL Cool J shit outchea. I'm not a native and I've only lived here for a little while, but there's something special about the music scene here. Special in the sense that it inspires a weird-ass unexplainable loyalty from me. It's weird because I've lived in a few other cities with vibrant music scenes and haven't had the slightest desire to serve as a booster for the stuff I heard. Even stranger is the [...]

Big Shot Guest Mix: Wake

Jul 31, 2012, 8:06pm Big Shot Magazine

Beatmaster Wake (a.k.a. Matthew Michael Ahern Hettich) dropped his Oakland Blackouts EP today on Proximal Records. " Oakland Blackouts was recorded in takes and played mostly live," he says of the release. "Samples were mapped to midi controllers, and effects and automation were played in on faders. The synthesizers are largely (edited) live recordings made with hardware, including an analog modular synthesizer and a Yamaha FM synth from the '80s." The period surrounding the creation of the EP was an especially productive one, and Wake has crafted a Big Shot Guest Mix featuring [...]

Super Raw Basement Freestyle from the Screwed Up Click (mp3)

Apr 26, 2012, 2:50pm WFMU's Beware of the Blog

Mixtape by mixtape, I've been working my way through DJ Screw's insanely huge discography, which is up in its entirety on Pirate Bay.  Pretty much every track is gold, Screw's taste is impeccable.  For the last few weeks, I've also been digging into other members of the Screwed Up Click - these were all just friends from Houston who made a ton of albums together.  It would be pretty inspirational actually the way they all stuck together, if they didn't all die in their 30s from codeine overdoses.  At any rate, the track that made me curious about S.U.C. was this super raw, super insane 18 minute [...]

Niko Noir – BRAkE (demo)

Mar 21, 2012, 4:25am Ivy League Spins

Niko Noir is a female rap artist from Los Angeles California with Iranian roots who contacted us through our submissions with her single "BRAkE" earlier today. We get a lot of submissions so it's hard to get a listen to all of them but I am definitely glad this one caught my eye. The track, "BRAke", is definitely going to be a bit unusual for some, but for those of you that dig tracks like Zebra Katz's "Ima Read", or anything coming out of the Raider Klan, "BRAkE" will be right up your alley. The beat is packed with eerie [...]

Another day, another new genre, this time its the new craze out of Europe called Lean House.
