Johnny Rain is a name that not a lot of you will be familiar with at the moment, but it's one you'll be hearing a lot of in the coming months.

In the previously unreleased song, "Victorious," she joins forces with Common and producer-slash-Def Jam executive, No I.D., to craft what would have been an amazing track on...
Dev Hynes advocate Solange Knowles decides to do over this single from her 2012 True EP, enlisting the help of Compton powerhouse Kendrick Lamar. This song is full of chilled synths which have been greatly tweaked and expanded to create a slightly eery but soothing sound. K-Dot fits in...
We got our first introduction to PARTYNEXTDOOR back in April with his record “Make A Mil,” a mysterious Canadian (?) who’s signed to Drake’s October’s Very Own label, and he’s creating incredible music. Now, the singer/songwriter/producer let loose a smooth cut titled, "Wus...
It's hard to believe that it has been seven months since "Latch" launched the careers of both Disclosure and Sam Smith. In a short timespan, "Latch" has surfaced everywhere from department stores to international clubs in a countless number of formats. While nearly every remix we have been exposed...
