Big K.R.I.T. - "Money On The Floor"
Was really looking forward to Live From The Underground on September 27th, but unfortunately it was pushed back until early next year (probably for the best). I don't think this will be officially on the album (I'm thinking this will either be a bonus track or on the EP he promised to release prior to the album), and it features Memphis legends 8Ball & MJG along with 2 Chainz....oh and the beat is a BANGER. K.R.I.T. can do no wrong.

G.o.D. Jewels - ReasonableMatic.
Today @ 12 G.o.D Jewels released ReasonableMatic a mini project before the release of his next full length project Glimpse of Destiny (the idea behind his titles was always so cool to me). This is easily my favorite offering of music Jewels which has me super excited for Glimpse of Destiny, the idea behind ReasonableMatic is to pay homage to two of the most influencial MCs of our generation Nas and Jay-z. G.O feels those two were the people who paved the way for a lot of artist and he has the ability to be the next taste maker of not just Chicago Hip-Hop but of the whole culture. buy/stream here or download here.

Childish Gambino - "Bonfire"
We first heard it live when Donald performed it during Comic Con weekend, then we got the censored snippet, then it was premiered on Hot97 a few days ago, and now we finally have the full version of the first single for Camp. You can buy Bonfire on iTunes tomorrow and the album is set to be released on November 15th. Also don't miss out on the Sign Up tour if there's a show in your area (I'm planning to go to the LA show).

Eric Sosa - Came Along Way
Eric Sosa's new visual for his single came along way, the idea behind it is so creative i've never seen anything like this. It matches the idea of the song perfect as he recalls memories throughout his lyrics in song and what better way to preserve a memory other then a taking a photo super cool treatment and execution of the video. buy his new single off itunes "one you" (can listen to the stream of it on his website below)

Frank Ocean - Swim Good
My Favorite song of franks, and possibly my favorite video of his so far even though Thinking About You is realllllly good in its own right. when i listened to this song this is almost the exact same treatment i envisioned in my own head, i do treatments to all the songs i like and they rarely as close as this one was to my oringinal thought i mean minus the panda hat and the stretch limo its almost spot on.
Statik Selektah - "Play The Game"
First single from Statik's upcoming album, Population Control, which features Big K.R.I.T. and Freddie Gibbs. The album will be available on October 25th and features a ton of other artists such as Brother Ali, Bun B, Saigon, and Talib Kweli to name a few. You can check out the entire tracklist here as well as pre-order the album. While there's a few artists I personally don't enjoy featured on the album I'm sure it'll still be really good.

Sir Froderick - "FishHeads - EP"
Another new beat tape from Sir Froderick! He just keeps pumping them out on what seems like a weekly basis. This new EP seems more soulful and not as left field to me as "Qualm Monk - EP", nevertheless it's still great.
Download here

JustUs - "Guns & RoseUs"
JustUs is a duo from Baltimore, MD. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but they definitely seem part of the trillwave (swag rap) movement going on now. The mixtape is essentially split into two acts; the "Guns" act and the "RoseUs" act. Awesome production throughout the tape from Best Kept Secret, DK The Punisher, Hit-Boy, Swiff D, Tyler, The Creator, and more (it's all pretty much synth-based beats). As far as rapping goes, these dudes are hilarious. It's more so during the "RoseUs" half of the tape like on the track "Film You/Lurk You"and what makes their lyrics so funny is that it's true for some individuals.
J.Blow - "Summer - EP"
If this was just a beat tape I'd absolutely love it (because honestly I wasn't feeling some of the raps). J.Blow, a DJ/producer based out of San Diego, CA originally from Milwaukee, WI, had a simple idea - to capture the vibe of summer - and I feel like he did exactly what he sought out to do. The beats are just so smooth and perfect for a summertime cruise.

EDF - Screw History
The Homie EDF hit me with the video for his Screw History the first single to his HiDEF project which is going to be released soon. "The track Screw History is a dedication to those who have come before him. Before EDF introduces himself, it's only right to introduce the platform that will allow him to express himself creatively as an artist out of Houston, TX. "

Cali Cam - Firm Biz
I saw my homie Howard Flozstello mention this on twitter. So I decided to give it a listen. "Cali Cam" is a San Diego artist a place not know for its hip hop scene but Cam has the potential to change that if he keeps going at this pace. He definitely has the potential to be a factor in this california music scene. My Favorit track on this project is "The Process" let us know what you think in the comment section! You can download the project here or on hulkshare here.

Emilio Rojas - Breaking Point
