[Feature] Aer, Jamla & More Make “Mixtapes of the Month” List Posted: 25 Mar 2014 02:05 PM PDT We highlight some of the game's best projects - who made the cut?

[Listen] Connor Evans - Familia Posted: 25 Mar 2014 01:30 PM PDT Earlier this month, Connor Evans gave us a much-needed respite from the late-winter chill in the form of blazing-hot single Winterlude. Now, the Golden State reader fave is back to ring in the springtime with another fresh cut off his next independent full-length. Though this record is titled Familia (a double-entendre the artist pedantically explains between verses), he …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Mobb Deep ft. The Lox - All a Dream Posted: 25 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT Early February’s Street Certified saw Mobb Deep soliciting the guest services of Brownsville bruisers M.O.P. On the latest single off their eighth full-length, All a Dream, the Brooklynites link up with yet another of the Northeast’s most powerful crews. I’m talking, of course, about The Lox. Despite the sheer lyrical firepower at their disposal, …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] August Alsina - Kissin’ on My Tattoos Posted: 25 Mar 2014 12:30 PM PDT The ink on August Alsina‘s body isn’t just for looks; it’s also a magnet for female lips. But it’s not there for just any chick’s delectation. On a fresh single off his forthcoming, full-length freshman set, the New Orleans crooner tells one particular shawty, "I don’t want nobody but you Kissin’ on My Tattoos." A change of pace from previous …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] King Mez - The Town Pt. 2 Posted: 25 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT On The Town, a standout track off 2012’s My Everlasting Zeal LP, King Mez assured listeners that it was just a matter of time before he joined the ranks of hip-hop royalty: "I see that crown like it’s gotta be mine" (I mean, "King" is in his stage name.) A couple years down the line, he’s one …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Tayyib Ali - Carmelo Posted: 25 Mar 2014 11:30 AM PDT On Tayyib Ali‘s last feature, a February song release off his forthcoming mixtape, the Philly representative let us know he was’t about to settle for a piece of the pie—he wants it all. Which isn’t to say that when he gets it, he’s gonna keep it all to himself. As he makes clear on new single Carmelo, his …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] CunninLynguists ft. MURS & Grieves - Drunk Dial Posted: 25 Mar 2014 11:00 AM PDT Even CunninLynguists like Deacon the Villian, Kno and Natti can do some not-so-cunning things after a drink or six. Like blacking out at a strip club and ending up in the drunk tank, or accidentally texting d*ck pics to your homie (Which is still better than what would have happened if they’d reached their intended recipient, your ex.) …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Elle Varner - See Me Tonight Posted: 25 Mar 2014 10:30 AM PDT Earlier this month, Elle Varner lit the fuse on her sophomore set with Cold Case, a pre-release promo cut whose eclectic, hip hop-infused sound earned it rave reviews from our readership. While freshly-minted follow-up See Me Tonight has a more organic sound than its largely synth-based predecessor, it shares that joint’s experimental spirit. Pop & Oak reprise their …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] 50 Cent - Pilot Posted: 25 Mar 2014 10:00 AM PDT And the new singles from 50 Cent just keep rolling in. Though our eardrums have barely had time to recover from the one-two punch of Hold On and Don’t Worry Bout It, the newly-independent NYC mainstay is already back to continue his promotional blitz with Pilot. While some may cock an eyebrow to hear Fitty proclaim …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Asher Roth ft. Vic Mensa - Fast Life Posted: 25 Mar 2014 09:30 AM PDT In the past several years, Asher Roth has risen above his college-loving origins to become a serious force on the underground scene, but his scatterbrained style has largely prevented him from being categorized as "socially conscious." On new single Fast Life, however, he sets aside the blunted lyrical pyrotechnics to tell the story of a young woman caught up in …   Click the link for the stream.
