I became a fan of Hopsin after seeing him perform at the XXL Freshman Concert in NYC. His energy and stage presence topped almost all of the other performers. His new track has that old school Eminem feel that isn’t rivaled currently in the rap game. Although he can be compared to 90s Em because…

Blu & Exile are dropping their highly anticipated sophomore full length LP, Give Me My Flowers While I Can Still Smell Them on September 4th.

Macklemore x Ryan Lewis let go a new track with all proceeds going to Music For Marriage Equality Campaign. Read what Mack had to say about “Same Love” below.

Afrojack- “Rock The House”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Afrojack previewed “Rock The House” back at Ultra and from the first moment I heard it, I knew this track was going to be huge. Save this one for your DJ sets; the chord progression and synths make this one a keeper. The high pitch synths will get everyone on the floor dancing. Be sure…

by Raffi Khatchadourian •
While I was on my cruise with no internet, DaFlip released his latest offering. This time remixing Zedd’s new track featuring Matthew Koma entitled “Spectrum”. Although I believe the original should be untouched, Beatport hosted a remix competition as they usually do so the remixes started piling up and DaFlip‘s remix definitely stood out to…

I remember when Frank teased us with a preview of this track back…
Nas- “Trust” (Bonus Track)
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Nas’s new album released today officially in the U.S. and as you can see it is by far my favorite album of the month (check out our new feature on the sidebar). Nas showed that hip hop is still alive and thriving. In Life is Good, Nas was able to achieve that 90s feel in the music…
