Ski Beatz is responsible for some of my favorite tracks of the past couple years. Highly underrated and often imitated today Ski unleashes a BUNCH of videos for us to enjoy. A few of these you may have seen before so I suppose it's a bit of a throwback Monday mix I'm not complaining. Shoot the J and peep the rest.

Raquoon Blowjob is precisely the hip-hop act I'm looking for down here. They're young, but old enough to lace Back to the Future references. They're urban, but kind of on the fence... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .
