August Alsina (feat. Kidd Kidd) – “Downtown”
August Alsina has my attention when it comes to RnB. His mysteriously tenuous voice molds around unique beats and the lyrics are raw.
KR – “Inspire”
One of our SYLR selections releases an appropriately simple video for a track off his I$oLYF3 project. This California emcee is definitely set to make some moves by the end of this year.
Audubon – “Immaculate”
Audubon has only gotten stronger in my opinion with every release I hear. This one is off of Hotel Audubon which is out now.
Dex Kwasi – “Poke Out”
Regardless of what you let poke out, be sure to forget all your worries as you vibe to Dex’s new anthem for your weekend. The beat reminds me of a more pleasant twist on Clockwork Orange‘s theme song.
Notes To Self – “Popular Music”
Be clear that Notes To Self is not here to make popular music. Produced by BOOK & BRONZE for Heart on Sleeve (Notes to Self’s own Bronze One & Book of Beatface), raps by Roshin, Swamp Donkey & Bronze One. Today’s dope cuts are brought to you by DJ Dopey.
The Airplane Boys – “Young Kings”
Let’s celebrate all of us who are young kings. Let’s pay respect to those who came before us and be mindful of the road we pave for those behind us.
