[Video] C Plus – Real Estate (Prod. Lee Bannon)

C Plus - Real Estate (Prod. Lee Bannon) [Official Video]
C Plus is another Sacramento spitter, alongside the likes of Chuuwee & Xuice Hades, that I have always been a huge fan of. It always is great to see the West Side kids teaming up with Lee Bannon's amazing production and  Real Estate  is just the next example of that. It comes as the second visual off of the two's joint project  Young Champions  and also be on the lookout for a third visual from the mixtape coming soon.

[EP] Dominic Lord – Fashion Show

Sep 18, 2012, 8:00pm Its a Rap
[EP] Dominic Lord – Fashion Show Now Dominic Lord made a pretty big splash with his debut track  Pierce . It definitely made me keep my eyes on him and with Fashion Show being his first project I surely had to give it a listen to see if what I was expecting from  Pierce alone was true. While there were some tracks that I couldn't really get into he puts up quite a show and the standout tracks for me personally besides  Pierce  and its remix were  Color Me Red & Wrong For Right . You can stream the whole project below and decide for yourselves, [...]

Fabolous – SoNY

Sep 18, 2012, 6:00pm Its a Rap
Fabolous – SoNY So I have to say that Fabolous has always seemed to be a hip-hop enigma. He would come out on a track that was sheer brilliance and then spit a verse that would make you just silent and wonder what was going through his mind.  SoNY  is the first of those. With Lil Wayne coming out and saying how NY is terrible, it is great to actually see artists stepping up defending this great land I reside in. I am glad Lil Wayne hates it here, we don't want him and much loves goes to Fabolous for bodying another song [...]

MellowHype – Godsss

Sep 18, 2012, 4:00pm Its a Rap
MellowHype – Godsss MellowHype has been on a music binge and while I would love to post each and every song I don't want to flood with MellowHype and  Godsss  is probably my favorite out of the bunch by far. Odd Future stands in an interesting position, with all of their so called 'debuts' (except for Earl) out of the way, they are in a time where we all want to see where their music is going to go. With spending a lot of time on touring and expanding their brands it is going to be pretty cool to see how their music [...]

Travi$ Scott ft. King Chip – Old English

Sep 18, 2012, 2:00pm Its a Rap
Travi$ Scott ft. King Chip – Old English Damn. Just damn. By just listening the intro/hook or whatever you want to call it, I was hooked. Travi$ Scott is quickly becoming a musical force and every song he seems to be incorporated on goes. I am not complaining and would love to hear a lot more from him. Kind of wish the hook was expanded a bit since I like it so much but the song is great nevertheless.

frank ocean [pyramids]
Shortly after his performance on SNL, Frank Ocean dropped off the video for his song  Pyramids which is off of his debut album Channel Orange . Would definitely love to see some visuals for some other tracks on that album as well but we shall see what comes forth.

Captain Murphy – The Killing Joke

Sep 13, 2012, 12:00pm Its a Rap
Captain Murphy - The Killing Joke
In a midst of Batman samples, Captain Murphy attacks yet another track and adds to his anonymous legacy. Who knows if we will ever discover who he truly is but I wouldn't mind having it go in the same route as The Gorillaz who kept their identities hidden for the longest of times. With  The Killing Joke like most of Captain Murphy's songs, he keeps is on the shorter side but packs such a punch in those lines that you just can't stop listening. Captain Murphy - The Killing Joke

AK – Sun Child (The Underachievers)

Sep 13, 2012, 11:00am Its a Rap
AK - Sun Child ( The Underachievers )
AK is one piece of The Underachievers, a group hailing from NY, of which I posted last week. This time around AK decided to showcase his solo skills and it doesn't even miss a step. Sometimes people sound better as a group but AK proves that wrong. The Underachievers are definitely music that you have to keep your eye on and your ear out for because they could easily be a part of bringing NY back to glory in this new wave rap music.

Jimmy Astro – A King’s Prayer

Sep 12, 2012, 12:36pm Its a Rap
Jimmy Astro – A King’s Prayer I've been waiting pretty impatiently for over a week to bring you guys this song. I've been a long time fan of Tennessee's own Jimmy Astro and it has been exciting to see the progression he has shown over each and every song.  A King's Prayer is easily his best song to date and he even jumped on the production side of this one. This release is the first to gear up to re-release his latest project  VICE   which is a collaborative project with a fellow Flight Crew member FreddsDEAD. I don't know how many times [...]

[EP] Sid Sriram – Daydream

Sep 9, 2012, 11:22am Its a Rap
[EP] Sid Sriram – Daydream In the same veins as Frank Ocean & The Weeknd comes Sid Sriram out of Boston. He is the perfect mix of both artists. With a voice eerily like The Weeknd without the heavy production mixed in to give it the all natural and holistic feel of Frank Ocean is Sid Sriram. Normally I don't get that into someone singing but Sid Sriram taps into that primal need for a peaceful and relaxing song that you can just lay back to and relax. I have to say the standout tracks for me are definitely Wake Up & Elevate featuring Aziz [...]

Jez Dior – Candles

Jez Dior - Candles [Music Video]
It what came in a much appreciated surprise, LA's own Jez Dior hit me up the other day to take a peak at his debut video  Candles . You can tell how much word and love goes into this kids music and utilizing a hypnotizing sample such as Daughter couldn't fit much better.  Candles is definitely a song that you must enjoy as the summer winds down. I can only follow the visuals and just picture myself cruising along and savoring these last few beautiful days on a beach somewhere with the cool breeze behind us. I can only [...]

Dominic Lord ft. Pusha T & Grimes – Pierce Remix

Sep 6, 2012, 7:54pm Its a Rap
Dominic Lord ft. Pusha T & Grimes – Pierce Remix Dominic Lord finally comes through with a personally anticipated remix to his debut song  Pierce.  He grabs Pusha T which we knew would be on there but he also grabbed onto a favorite of his Grimes to put her personal touch onto a little bit of the remix. Being a former piece of A$AP he goes in the same direction grabbing an indie artist for one of his songs. It is pure coincidence but after listening to Dominic's first two songs you can easily tell that his style is most fitted for the crossover appeal. I would love it if [...]

Kanye West ft. Big Sean & Jay-Z – Clique

Kanye West ft. Big Sean & Jay-Z – Clique It is finally here. We all have been much awaiting  Cruel Summer  to finally be here and it looks like we are close to approaching that great day. After having to listen to Lil Wayne's pathetic to continue what he calls music it is time we all have a moment of silence for probably the best music collective we have now. TDE does come in probably a close second but GOOD music is light years ahead. Instead of having to listen to Nicki Minaj talk about how she loves Mitt Romney and rhyme C-Section in 4 consecutive verses we can [...]

CurT@!n$ ft. ScHoolboy Q – RutHLe$$

Sep 6, 2012, 2:00pm Its a Rap
CurT@!n$ ft. ScHoolboy Q – RutHLe$$ Damn. It has been a long time coming for CurT@!n$. I used to follow his music religiously and then he took a little bit of an absence but now he comes back with one hell of a punch. We even had CurT@!n$ on some of our blog sponsored collective mixtapes back in the day and I couldn't put one out before I got him on there.  RutHLe$$  is just another banger to add to the collection from CurT@!n$ and it seems like ScHoolboy Q is making the best of his increase in popularity and is jumping on as much music as he can [...]

Eric Arc Elliot – FRENCH

Sep 6, 2012, 11:35am Its a Rap
Eric Arc Elliot – FRENCH Eric Arc Elliot who hails from Flatbush Zombies is doing his solo thing and comes at us with a leftover from that project with  FRENCH  which is produced by The Soundmen. From what I've heard from Flatbush Zombies it is a lot of trippy, dark, gloomy beats and they come with a demonic flow so to hear a change of pace from one of there members is refreshing. I went in expecting to hear some remnant of the same thing but  FRENCH  delves into a whole different spectrum and Eric Arc Elliot's solo project should land with a giant splash. [...]

Colin Munroe – Scars ‘N Stars ft. Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul

Sep 5, 2012, 3:00pm Its a Rap
Colin Munroe – Scars ‘N Stars ft. Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul Colin Munroe has been one guy that I have already appreciated for his piece in rap music. He doesn't make rap songs too much into another world because his voice simply fits into the hooks and melody just like some of the early Eminem beats did. He always seems to be able to work with anyone and everyone and turn it into a great song and this time he grabs two of the hottest rappers in the game right now in Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul. If you like what you hear below you can grab/stream Colin Munroe's full [...]

[Video] A$AP Mob ft. Flatbush Zombies – Bath Salts Easily one of the best songs off of the latest A$AP Mob project, Bath Salts finally gets the visual treatment. It is the exact thing you'd probably expect from the crew and Flatbush Zombies. Just some dark, trippy visuals but I do think they could have gone further. Especially with the entire Bath Salts & Miami Zombie situation but guess not. Check it out right below.

Joey Fatts ft. Vince Staples – Die Rich (Prod. Cardo)

Sep 5, 2012, 11:53am Its a Rap
Joey Fatts ft. Vince Staples – Die Rich (Prod. Cardo) Damn. First off Vince Staples sounds incredible on some Cardo production. But with this being the first time that I have pressed play on Joey Fatts, I am pretty much blown away. The Long Beach native comes on the track and partners up with Vince Staples to give me the same satisfaction out of a Cardo beat that I used to get when I would listen to Wiz on one. Vince Staples is one artist that definitely deserves more shine and to see him finally getting his due is great. Hopefully we can see a Joey Fatts & Vince collabo [...]

Mac Miller ft. ScHoolboy Q – PlaneCarBoat

Sep 4, 2012, 7:00pm Its a Rap
Mac Miller ft. ScHoolboy Q – PlaneCarBoat Mac Miller decided to let go of a freebie over his twitter teaming up with TDE's own ScHoolboy Q on  PlaneCarBoat.  I sort of understand the meaning behind the title, which I think is hinting at the superman phrase but as to how it makes sense as a song who knows. But it features Mac Miller & ScHoolboy Q who both rip it on the track and it also showcases Mac Miller's improving skills on the production side of the music.

Kuhlamity – Wait On (Prod. Audible Doctor)

Sep 4, 2012, 5:00pm Its a Rap
Kuhlamity – Wait On (Prod. Audible Doctor) I always talk about how seeing artists coming out of NY makes me great to see what the East Side, and not to mention my home state, is doing musically. Kuhlamity is another rapper who falls into that criteria and even more so as we both live in the same county. Heavily influenced by Army Of Pharaohs, Kuhlamity has a diabolical mindset and a rapid fire flow that isn't like any one else that is out there. To see him start to grow and adapt and get onto different original production is great and to snatch up Audible Doctor on this [...]
