[Listen] Kat Dahlia - Crazy Posted: 18 Feb 2014 01:30 PM PST Last we heard from Kat Dahlia, she was Happy (and she knew it).

On this new single, released along with an unknown director’s official visuals, the Miami …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Dao Jones ft. Leah Woods - Dead End Posted: 18 Feb 2014 12:30 PM PST Be warned: if you’re a twentysomething, this one may hit a little close to home. Coming on the heels of early February’s Good at Being Single, this freshly-minted mixtape single finds the NYC buzzmaker highlighting many of the common gripes that can make post-collegiate life feel like a Dead End.

[Listen] Locksmith ft. R.A. the Rugged Man - House of Games II Posted: 18 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST Featured in January along with Brian Storm‘s official visuals, Locksmith‘s House of Games freestyle found him delivering relentless bars over an ominous boom-bap instrumental co-produced by himself and Mike Blankenship.

[Listen] Lex One x Mike Beatz - My Own Worst Remedy Posted: 18 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST Here in the The DJBooth, we are all hip-hop all the time, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like a little EDM and some rock, too; it just isn’t very often that all three come rolled up into one hi-octane jam. Of course, the most important part of My Own Worst Remedy is its hip-hop foundation (My viewpoint is totally …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Dunson ft. John Legend - Cross Town Lovers (Remix) Posted: 18 Feb 2014 10:30 AM PST Last we heard from Dunson, on a fall 2013 LP single, his frustrations with the industry had his mind going in Circles. Oftentimes, romance offers an escape from the complexities of professional life, but that ain’t gonna work for the Maryland emcee; as he reveals on the newly-released Cross Town Lovers (Remix), he’s involved with so many women …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Bop Alloy ft. Steph, The Sapphic Songstress - Count On Us Posted: 18 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST Some buzzmaking hip-hop acts inflate listeners’ hopes with a few quality releases, only to run out of ideas and descend into mediocrity. Not Bop Alloy. On the lead single off their forthcoming, Kickstarter-funded full-length, the Baltimore/Seattle-repping duo assure fans, "You can Count On Us." Don’t believe it? Just listen to Substantial‘s bars, which find him counting up from one …   Click the link for the stream.
