[Download] Klassik - Light Posted: 10 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST Some artists like to get experimental with their album titles (Stankonia, anyone?), but most prefer a much more simple, descriptive approach. Klassik‘s YRP (Young Rising Phenoms) album (released last month) falls into the latter category. On Light, the set’s current single, the dual threat shows the title is more than fitting.  Blending a dash of R&B, with some soul, funk, …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Tino - Back In ‘86 Posted: 10 Jan 2014 11:30 AM PST Booth newcomer Tino has been living and breathing hip-hop since Ronald Regan was in office and Ferris Bueller was in theaters. Even Back in ‘86 he knew he was destined to become an emcee. As a childhood dream the thought is glamorous, but the reality of making music as your one and only profession is anything but. For Tino, however, …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Allday - Claude Monet Posted: 10 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST Allday; rap game Claude Monet. Why? Because each work of art will leave quite the impression on you (yes, that was an art history pun). Though the Australia native is known for his fun, energetic style (see Girl In The Sun, Allday gets a little more contemplative on his latest effort. Atop Simplex and Cam Bluff‘s chiming, cushioned …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball (Roxpin Trap Remix) Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:30 AM PST On her latest LP, Miley Cyrus sought (with a little help from her stable of hitmaking producers) to infuse hip-hop and trap influences into her sound, but hit second single Wrecking Ball stuck close to safe power-ballad territory. For a more audacious take on the song, we turn to Teddy Roxpin, a Boston native whose instrumentals have graced jams by …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Blackbear - Strangers Posted: 10 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST On a previous feature, alt-R&B buzzmaker Blackbear and a longtime homegirl pondered whether to turn from friends into lovers. This new promo single, his first feature of the new year, depicts an inverse and even more dramatic transformation: that of romantic partners into complete Strangers. Over a melancholy, self-produced synth backdrop, the Golden State R&B dual threat assures …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] A$hton - Knighty Knight Posted: 10 Jan 2014 09:30 AM PST As of my writing this, it isn’t even 11:30 AM, but that doesn’t stop Booth newcomer A$hton from telling us "Knighty Knight" on his current mixtape single. (It originally dropped last January, but is getting another push in the new year.) With that said, ‘90s heads shouldn’t sleep on the record, which finds the Detroit-born, Orlando-based emcee channeling some serious …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] The Incomparable Shakespeare - By Any Dreams Posted: 10 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST Next week, The Incomparable Shakespeare will be unleashing a brand new LP via his very own Shake Ink label. To stir up a little extra pre-release buzz for the indie full-length, the NYC underground mainstay has liberated its pseudo-title track, By Any Dream. Though he refers to the record as a freestyle, that seems a little too modest; his rhymes …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] JRDN - Love Ain’t Enough Posted: 10 Jan 2014 08:30 AM PST If you drive North of the Border and flip on the radio, it’s a good bet you’ll hear JRDN‘s voice traveling over the Canadian airwaves. The Halifax crooner who brought us Live My Dream and Can’t Choose is currently the biggest-selling artist in his home country. New single Love Ain’t Enough must have been penned before …   Click the link for the stream.
