The Roots’ frontman, along with Lotek, give some assistance to the second single off of Hilltop Hoods’ “Drinking From The Sun” album. With Chali 2na being on the first release from the album, and Black Thought being on the second, it’s only getting me more excited to see the other features they have enlisted on other tracks. It’s also sounding like it should be a pretty solid project overall, which is great for the comeback of Hilltop Hoods. Enjoy.

The good folks over at ThisSongIsSick.com dropped off a dope new remix from Big Gigantic. As the duo of Big Gigantic usually take on hip-hop and R&B for their remixes, this time they turn to dubstep crew Adventure Club for some remixing material, and the outcome was awesome. The addition of the saxophone that Dom of Big Gigantic is known for complements the elements taken from the Adventure Club track to the point. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch them this summer so I can hear this one live. Enjoy.

Boston, what’s good? Less than two weeks and I’m back. Pretty much amped about that, to say the least. Okay, so the track…Mope Pope enlists fellow Boston-bred MC and co-star in the hit film The Town, Slaine. “Dead Kennedy’s” is an anthem for those on the grind, those stuck in the loop, and those who do what they got to do and just make it by. We all got work. Well, the majority of us do. Salute to those with patience, endurance, and dedication! Closing note: When Slaine dropped those Boston-accent bars, I just lost it. I put on for my city.

ScienZe & King I Divine released this free project back in mid-March, on and in collaboration with, 2dopeboyz. Divine ScienZe was so well received by so many listeners, I decided to give it a listen myself. As the last song was coming to its end, I played that $#!+ back because I just had to hear it again. So I suggest that you, at the very least, check out a few songs. “Hero” is certainly one of the top tracks on the tape. Also may I suggest that you imbibe in the sweet sounds of “Peace” as well as the Dilla-esque, “Enjoy Tonight” – and lastly, if you download it after those two, you’ll get the hidden track “How I’m Designed.” This tape has roots in boom-bap and underground, and displays an extensive amount of quality sampling. #HIPHOP

First off, sorry I’ve been M.I.A. for the past few days. Just graduated and moved out of my place. I’ll quickly get back into things with a brand new project from Paper Diamond, entitled “Wavesight.” Although short in length, it is a nice little treat for all of his fans, considering that he hasn’t put out some new tunes in a bit. Check it out below, and download the entire project here. Enjoy.

Ground Up and crew are back at it again with a new video for us shot in heaven, also known as Amsterdam. Three months ago they released The Get Up which is one of my favorite mixtapes of the year. The production from Bij Lincs…do I even need to compliment this guy again? His production speaks for itself. Azar and Malakai once again prove that music can be made independently from the ground up. I’m kicking myself because I still have yet to make it to one of their shows. This summer it shall be done. Go download The Get Up.

Earlier today, Pretty Lights dropped off his highly anticipated recap video of his NYE show a few months back. Along with the video, he gave us a brand new track entitled “You Get High,” which has a more hip-hop feel than a lot of his other material. I’m glad he dropped something new off, because he’s been off my radar for quite a bit. But, just like that, he’s back on the front burner. Check out the video above, and download the track via Grooveshark. Enjoy.

It’s been quite a bit of time since these two released some new music as the Backhand Fam. Well, the time has come for their anticipated sequel to their “Backhand Fam Vol. 1,” and here they give us the first listen of the project with “Low Key.” Production is coming from Hold My Coat’s own, mattMiGGZ, and both Guy and Cartier go in over the smooth beat with ease. Look out for “Backhand Fam Vol. 2,” which is set to be released in the very near future. In the meantime, enjoy.
