[Listen] Sam Smith - Nirvana (Harry Fraud Remix) Posted: 22 Jan 2014 01:30 PM PST Back in August of 2013, London singer-songwriter Sam Smith stepped into the Booth with Nirvana, a slow-burning ballad that won high praise from our readership. UK beatsmith Two Inch Punch subsequently remixed the cut, but was unable to match the Craze & Hoax-produced original‘s lofty 4.25-star average rating. Now, Harry Fraud has thrown his …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Times New Roman - Diamonds Posted: 22 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST On debut Booth feature Passion, Michigan singer/songwriter Times New Roman described a relationship that sounded a little too perfect. I mean, gazing at the constellations and kissing in the rain? Come on! Sure enough, follow-up single Diamonds reveals that their love has a few minor flaws—for example, his girl’s obsession with celebrities and expensive jewelry, and her tendency …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Fly Union ft. Lolah Brown - Get Paid Posted: 22 Jan 2014 11:59 AM PST Last week, Fly Union stepped into the Booth with their first feature of the new year, the reader-approved Hustle. Now, the Ohio hip-hop trio is back to build on that cut’s success with another freshly-minted promo single.

[Listen] Tag Alexander ft. Ty Farris - The Muscle Posted: 22 Jan 2014 11:30 AM PST Introductions can be stressful—after all, you only get one chance to make a first impression—but you’d be hard-pressed to find any evidence of anxiety in the debut feature from Tag Alexander. On new promo single The Muscle, he exudes the effortless bravado of a man who knows he’s at the top of his game—hence the promo pic featuring boxing legend …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] ZuP - The Blvd Posted: 22 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST Despite the enthusiastic response ZuP received for his Booth debut, December 2012’s Submissive, the Cleveland emcee/producer took his sweet time putting together a follow-up feature. I’ll forgive him, though, because new promo single The Blvd is just that dope. Whereas the first-mentioned joint was a pop record with hip hop-informed production, this joint reverses the formula, pairing flowed …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Gary Clark Jr. ft.

In its original incarnation, this hip hop-infused jam was the title track off the Texan musician’s 2012 freshman set. Now, with …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Bishop Nehru - You Stressin Posted: 22 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST I think it’s safe to say Bishop Nehru‘s feeling damn good right now. I mean, he did just take home the trophy for Best New Artist (Unsigned/Independent) in our 2013 Best of the Booth Awards. The NYC representative’s rivals in the game, by contrast, are suffering from acute anxiety—and you’d better …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Luke Christopher - Broken People Posted: 22 Jan 2014 09:30 AM PST We’ve all got our emotional baggage. Luke Christopher? Let’s just say that, even if he takes advantage of Southwest’s generous checked-bag policy, he gonna be paying some extra fees. On Broken People, his first promo single of the New Year, the Cali rapper/producer reflects on the history of heartbreak and familial dysfunction that helped sink his last relationship. If that …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Flex The Antihero - Big Dreams Posted: 22 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST Loyal readers of the DJBooth may remember Flex as one-half of The Antiheroes, the T-Dot twosome who brought us bangers like Understand and So Easy. Like many artists who first make a name for themselves as part of a crew, though, the emcee is too ambitious not to seek success on the solo …   Click the link for the stream.
