[Listen] Mariami - Best Friend Posted: 21 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT When god closes a door, he opens a window. People come and go like seasons. Every cloud has a silver lining. But enough with these hokey sayings, I’ll just let Mariami give you all the inspiration you need to get back up after a fall. On Best Friend, the Georgia (the country, not the state) native refuses to let the …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Jez Dior - Who Drank My Whiskey Posted: 20 Mar 2014 07:30 AM PDT Booth regulars are most likely familiar with Jez Dior as the artist behind cuts like Hide and the Dark Star (Remix), but on Who Drank My Whiskey the Los Angeles native takes a different, angrier tone.

[Download] XV - My Town Posted: 19 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT As his fans already know, XV hails from a distant planet named Squaria.

[Listen] Curtessy - Raw Posted: 19 Mar 2014 09:30 AM PDT Curtessy‘s new DJBooth premiere is so fresh! HOW FRESH IS IT, you ask?! Curtessy’s new DJBooth premiere is so fresh… it’s practically Raw! Well, it’s titled “Raw,” but I am talking more about the L.A. emcee’s blistering mic approach. With a raspy, stabbing flow, he delivers brash, assertive bars for three minutes and forty-five seconds. He might be ruthless in …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Locksmith - Lifestyle Posted: 19 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PDT Oft imitated but never equaled, the DJBooth Freestyle Series ran from February 2009 through June 2011. Its 250 total entries were the work of a veritable who’s-who of underground and emerging emcees, including rising stars like Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. Now, it’s back for a second round. The 13th entry …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Crooked I ft. Snow Tha Product - Not for the Weak Minded Posted: 18 Mar 2014 01:30 PM PDT Listening to Crooked I is little like having your grey matter pummeled by a heavyweight boxer with gloves made of sheer lyrical excellence. In other words, it’s definitely Not for the Weak Minded. Those of y’all who have been doing your mental push-ups, however, will find a lot to like about the Long Beach mainstay’s latest feature, the tagless version …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Jered Sanders - Same Ol’ Thing Posted: 18 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT Thus far, each of the records we’ve featured off Jered Sanders‘s forthcoming EP has been strikingly different from the last in sound, style and subject matter. The final pre-release single is the Same Ol’ Thing—which is to say that it, too, isn’t quite like anything that came before. Making its world premiere right here in The DJBooth, this cut boasts …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] 50 Cent - Hold On Posted: 18 Mar 2014 08:30 AM PDT Back in February, 50 Cent kicked off his independent hustle with The Funeral, a buzz single off his fifth full-length.

Being hungover can be rough, but Dunson’s refreshing boardwork, which blends a vibrant sample (taken from    Click the link for the stream.
