[Download] Dillan Ponders - HIVE Posted: 08 Jan 2014 01:30 PM PST Rappers without the dough to visit a shrink often compensate by working through their issues in the recording booth. On Dillan Ponders‘s latest single, HIVE, the T-Dot rhymesayer does something similar, turning to music in lieu of rehab. Those who were feeling the nightmarish sound of Booth debut Gotham are sure to appreciate DMNDBCK‘s beat here, a claustrophobic …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] MNEK - Never Leave You (Lumidee Cover) Posted: 08 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST What inspired MNEK to put his own spin on Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh), the 2003 debut single from singer/songwriter and emcee Lumidee? According to the 19-year-old London native (and DJBooth newcomer), he did it simply "for the LOLz." But it’s hard to fault him for taking a less-than-serious attitude toward his work when the result is this …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Dag Savage (Exile & Johaz) ft. Co$$, Gonja Sufi & Blu - God Body Posted: 08 Jan 2014 12:30 PM PST Those who follow the doctrines of the Five-Percent Nation sometimes refer to themselves as God Body, alluding to the belief that the Asiatic black man is Allah incarnate. With that said, you don’t need to be an NGE affiliate to appreciate the godlike mic work displayed on the latest promo single from Dag Savage. The L.A. duo’s first featured cut …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Zak Downtown - City’s Ours Posted: 08 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST After Zak Downtown dropped off Don’t Blow My High back in March, we didn’t hear a peep from him for the rest of 2013. But that doesn’t mean the NYC rhymesayer’s been slacking off in the meantime. Just the opposite: in his own words, he spent the summer and fall "recording mixtape material, shooting videos and starting his …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] ¡MAYDAY! - On That Jack Posted: 08 Jan 2014 11:30 AM PST Earlier this month, Strange Music hip-hop ensemble ¡MAYDAY! took home their first Best of the Booth trophy; their Believers LP earned our readers’ vote for Best Indie Hip Hop Album of 2013. As for what they’re doing to celebrate, do you even have to ask? On That Jack, the …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Jered Sanders - Boys on the Radio Posted: 08 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST I have to admit, I’d be a little shocked if I heard Jared Sanders‘s voice the next time I was browsing the FM band. But the surprise would be a pleasant one; amid the mass-produced hits that dominate the mainstream airwaves, the Elementality artist’s latest effort would sound downright refreshing. On new LP single Boys on the Radio, Talen Ted‘s …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] eGo Jaleel ft. Taylor Bennett - I’m Good Posted: 08 Jan 2014 10:30 AM PST In 2013, the Booth experienced an unprecedented influx of emerging talent from the Chicago area. It seems that trend may be destined to continue in 2014. One of the first Windy City up-and-comers to make his mark on our pages in the new year, eGo Jaleel introduces himself with braggadocious promo cut I’m Good. Here, Tony Baines‘s brass fanfare sets …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Ghetts - Feel Inside Posted: 08 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST Previously heard lending his flow to Star One‘s September feature, Wanted Man, Ghetts returns to make his solo Booth debut with a brand new promo single. Feel Inside could hardly be a better introduction to the London buzzmaker. Backed by Loudmouth‘s surprisingly smooth, ley-key loops, Ghetts opens up about several subjects that are near and …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Little Simz & Waldo - Mandarin Oranges Posted: 08 Jan 2014 09:30 AM PST Few (healthy) snacks are more addictive than Mandarin Oranges; their comparatively small size makes it damn near impossible to stop at just one. Lil Simz‘s latest promo single has a similarly compulsive appeal, so don’t be surprised if, after listening, you spend the next 20 minutes digging into her past Booth features. On this headnodic cut, the UK wunderkind links …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] GoldLink - The Heart Posted: 08 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST On The Heart Part 2, the opening track off senior mixtape (O)verly (D)edicated, Kendrick Lamar set complex concepts aside to deliver some off-the-cuff bars about his spirituality, his approach to the craft and his experiences in the streets. GoldLink follows the Compton phenom’s example on newly-released promo cut The Heart. While this record features the same instrumental …   Click the link for the stream and download.
