[Listen] Dizzy Wright - New Generation Posted: 16 Apr 2014 01:30 PM PDT From the Book of Rick James: “A mighty turnt rapper once proclaimed that it was Turn Up Season and it was so. That rapper’s name is Dizzy Wright.” If you don’t trust our sources, you can use New Generation, a standout selection from the Funk Volume emcee’s newly-released State of Mind EP, as a secondary reference. Fitting that …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Luke Christopher - Rhyme Like Me Posted: 16 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT When I was 10, all I could think about was the Y2K bug and what life would be like in post-apocalyptic suburbia.

Let’s just say that Luke was probably a bit more career …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] OnCue - Closer Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:30 PM PDT After going Way Too Far last October, Connecticut’s OnCue shortens the gap on his latest promo record, Closer. (We wouldn’t doubt that part of the inspiration behind the song’s title comes from how much closer the Jets are to the playoffs after releasing former QB Mark Sanchez). If the beat sounds familiar, it’s because ARW flips the Shlohmo-produced …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Termanology ft. REKS - The Mecca Posted: 16 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT With the Boston Marathon fast approaching this Sunday, it’s only right that we put our full endorsement behind the latest video from Termanology. Shortfyuz‘s mixing of light-hearted chimes with some boom bap on The Mecca gets the quality treatment that we’ve come to expect from Term and fellow Massachusetts emcee, REKS. The latter emcee swings first, swag being …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Plies ft. August Alsina - Jump Posted: 16 Apr 2014 10:30 AM PDT Ever debate the pros and cons of being someone’s reliable booty call? According to Plies, there’s no shame in being just that.

[Download] Mick Jenkins - Steam Posted: 16 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT Oft imitated but never equaled, the DJBooth Freestyle Series ran from February 2009 through June 2011. Its 250 total entries were the work of a veritable who’s-who of underground and emerging emcees, including rising stars like Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller.

BJ the Chicago Kid - Studio Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:30 AM PDT As if you needed a reminder that TDE’s “Most Likely To Bring Bucket Hats Back” rapper dropped a phenomenal album this year in Oxymoron, he just announced the fourth official single.

[Listen] Steve Aoki ft. Waka Flocka Flame - Rage The Night Away Posted: 16 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT You know your speakers are going to get a workout when Steve Aoki or Waka Flocka Flame drop a new record. But if they’re on the same track, that workout turns into more of a Bikram Yoga session that includes three rounds in the Octagon with Brock Lesnar. Get that ice bath ready for your subwoofers. On the super …   Click the link for the stream.
