With two EPs already under his belt, electronic music producer AbdeCaf is well on his way to making a mark in the music scene. AbdeCaf released his Unravel EP over a year ago and shortly after dropped his Rebuild EP. It's the haunting samples and play with short 8-bit bleeps that make Unravel such an alluring release. Topping that months later with what I believe to be his best work is the Rebuild EP. It features artists like Koda and Soft Lighting and adds a fuller, more eclectic taste. The entire EP feels more like...
Reworking Drake's "Girls Love Beyonce" with the original "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child, the experimental beat producer Ta-ku yet again fails to disappoint. In the midst of a remix frenzy, Ta-ku joins the list of artists confessing their love for Mrs. Knowles-Carter through the addition of trademark elements of their individual sound.

Despite the drama and heavy criticism on his first single, Drake dropped "5 AM in Toronto" and you just couldn't help but nod your head to the freestyle with all of its smack-talking galore. The October's Very Own General took to his blog to accompany the freestyle with a pretty low key visual...
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...
Willy Joy takes on quadruple threat A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz and Drake’s “Fuckin’ Problem” and gives it an entirely new Willy Joy spin. Adding a little bit of bit of trap, a little bit of rap and whole lot of bass, he transforms the song into a dance floor destroyer. If you are...
