If this is a sign of things to come, let us be the first to say we're pretty impressed. Drake's come a long way from Thank Me Later and an even longer way from So Far Gone. Tonight via his October's Very Own blog, the Toronto native revealed brand new music that might have Drizzy dissenters scratching their foreheads in reconsideration. Produced by Boi-1da, "5AM In Toronto" falls more in line with "Started From The Bottom" than it does any four bar feature off a Rihanna track (he says it himself: "That's why...
A few days shy of its anticipated Friday release date, super producer Harry Fraud dropped the first of what we will be hearing off his collaborative mixtape, Adrift. This cut, entitled "Morey Boogie Boards" features the low-riding, syncopated flow of YUNG DINNER PARTY aka Queen's own Action Bronson.

The members behind Brooklyn-based Follow Me serve up today's Daily 2%, taking us back just ten years to the days of AOL, PS2, Elian Gonzalez and the height of success for one of the decade's most beloved hip hop girl groups, TLC. 2000 was the year they released "Unpretty", further cementing their...
In typical Star Slinger fashion, sets ablaze Lion Babe's finger-snapping, tempered track, "Treat Me Like Fire." He's not working with nothing -- the original actually sounds like it had the UK producer in mind with its warbly beat and an infectiously raw tempo. But Star Slinger never fails to...
We'll attempt to talk about how great it is to have Ryan Hemsworth remix a Rhye song but it'll be hard not to string together a non-sensical series of positive words, simply because each artist is outstanding in their own right. RBMA said it best: "This song is too good for an edit..." but...
