On Saturday, May 11th, Boston-based producer The Arcitype – one of the most talented, well-respected beatmakers in the city – brought his portable studio inside Kyoto Jungle, a local clothing boutique off Newbury Street run by Annie Mulz, and put together a 10-track beat tape from start to finish in eight hours. The tape, called … Continue reading »
In preparation for the release of his forthcoming project, Bragging Rights, Boston’s Mr. Fritz drops off a new joint entitled “Blue Hill Ave Shxt.” The Hucktana Belvidere-produced record is probably my favorite I’ve heard from Fritz, one that pays homage to the area of the city in which he was raised and rides smooth from … Continue reading »
The SaveMoney militia does it again. Chicago’s Dally Auston, the latest SaveMoney representer to make national waves, dropped this new video for “W$GTM” off his debut tape The Wood last week. “W$GTM” is a smooth cut produced by Smoko Ono, and the Verluxe-directed video serves as a great visual accompaniment. Download The Wood in its … Continue reading »
Earlier this week, Kembe X dropped off a new set of visuals for “Village Over Everything” off his latest project, Soundtrack II Armageddon. The young Chicago emcee has been making all kinds of noise over the course of the past year, and as he’s consistently delivering new music, he’s continuing to craft his image and … Continue reading »
I’ve had my eye on Toronto’s ShaqIsDope for a minute now. He’s got an impressive following, a strong team behind him, a sharp songmaking ability and some serious star power. Yesterday, Shaq dropped the official video for “No Time,” one of the more popular joints off his recently-released Sophomore Season mixtape (download below). I’m a … Continue reading »

Things get a little out of control in the latest from Chance The Rapper. As he explains at the beginning of the video, Jash Network gave comedian Hannibal Buress and Chano $5,000 to make a creative music video for a record off Acid Rap. They chose the BrandUn Deshay-produced “NaNa,” but instead of writing out a … Continue reading »
Earlier this month, I picked up Atlanta-based emcee Rome Fortune‘s Beautiful Pimp project – partially due to the eye-opening cover art, partially due to the @HashtagMikeBoyd recommendations scattering my timeline. Long story short, I’m glad I did. Beautiful Pimp is a very impressive tape, one guided by high-quality production from start to finish in which … Continue reading »

Last night, Pilot Nation dropped off some more heat off their Expensive Heat mixtape in the form of the official video for the hit record, “GTFU.” Expensive Heat dropped exactly a week before the video came out last night, and the Goodwin-produced joint was an immediate fan favorite. As if they could see the future, … Continue reading »

Tyler drops a phenomenal video for “IFHY,” off his forthcoming album, WOLF. This is hands down one of the most engaging music videos I’ve ever seen. Love him or hate him, Tyler (or Wolf Haley, rather), is extraordinarily creative and daring, and one hell of a director. For “IFHY,” he creates a ’50s dollhouse scene … Continue reading »
