Video: Cavalier – “Watch N’ Learn” (Prod. BMB SpaceKid)
Cavalier drops the first single from his project Chief. In it, the trap house gets a reverse makeover, bringing to light the seedy side of raising a family in drugged places. The album is due on September 9. Check the video after the jump.
New Music: Mick Jenkins & YC The Cynic – “Keep It 100” (Prod. Ricky Dubs)
The two young vets pair for a phenomenal duet. It's drenched in story but never didactic. YC has been putting down pristine verse after pristine verse this year. Check the song after the jump.
New Music: Future – “Monster” (Prod. Metro Boomin)
The ATL should be renamed Boomtown because of what producer Metro Boomin has been doing to craft nouveau crunk, revamping gothic sounds with rolling merciless drums. Future even has to chirp up and rap to keep up with Metro's muscle. Click for the track after the jump.
New Music: Wiz Khalifa – “On Me” Feat. Jeezy
"On Me" is a Jeezy song with Wiz sort of hosting it for his album. This is a new trend in album construction: where an artist leases a style for his work, so to draw the guest artist's crowd and effects. Collab after the jump.
Video: Statik Selektah – “Carry On” Feat. Joey Bada$$ & Freddie Gibbs
The 90s nostalgia train picked up Freddie Gibbs for a jaunt. The new-gen boom bappers have a way of not dragging the warm instrumentals down with thick lines of poetry, instead Gibbs and Joey make light of time traveling for their flows. Check the street performer video after the jump.
Video: Travi$ Scott – “Don’t Play” Feat. Big Sean & The 1975
From Travi$ Scott's free album Days Before Rodeo, here for your consumption. This is a clever video in the Spaghetti western style. Travi$ Scott plays the natural outlaw with a goon assist from Big Sean. Check it after the jump.
Album Review: Underachievers – Cellar Door
New Music: Your Old Droog – “Sleepers”
Your Old Droog is back with another gem, this time over a Larry Fisherman beat (Mac Miller's alter ego). "Sleepers" mentions the added attention he's getting in media, and some of the discomfort with being investigated. Whoever the unknowable MC is, his joints bump. Click the jump for the track.
