The hood is really loving this one, 10k+ in just one day. Jonwayne showcasing his lyrical mastermind on this Pusha T/ Kanye produced joint. Click through to the soundcloud for the lyrics. Oh yeah, and, I read on Stones Throw that the Cassette series may be a trilogy? #fingerscrossed
PS grab the recently released Daytime Naps.
Maria Sullivan is an artist from Canterbury UK. She’s been featured on a BBC Radio 1 mix, Dummy Mag, etc. Maria goes by Koloto, and while she hasn’t released anything for the last couple months she’ll remain on my radar for the foreseeable future. I’m seeing a lot of comparisons to Gold Panda, which can definitely be heard but this is much grittier. I see Gold Panda as having a much more clean sound, never hitting these glitch licks like Koloto seems to have perfected. Follow her on facebook and twitter in the meantime, and peep her soundcloud. More soon.
Apparently this dude was signed to Stones Throw, inked up n everything and then pulled out due to — well, I’m not exactly sure why he pulled out. For me, Stones Throw has been the label that can do no wrong, the label anyone of the hip-hop/producer artists I cover would love to be a part of. I’m sure there will be more on the subject but for now just know that he had that opportunity. We’ll just have to take his word for it, that there must be some reason to dodge a deal like that. Be on the lookout for his record Diff.Rnt scheduled to drop sometime in July. In the meantime peep this Tokimonsta flip, the beat is killing it; I absolutely love this production. Dude sounds real good on the mic, too. good lookin up Potholes
Premiered by FACT Mag, LE1F is feeling totally rejuvinated about now. Off the top of Fly Zone, this beat hit me hard on that first drop (42s). Peep the Lakutis cameo, looking grimey as fuck even when getting his bathe on. Directed by Jesse Miller-Gordon’s Fact compares the directing to something like Wes Anderson. I dig the aesthetic for sure, it needed to be hott n’ wet.
Fresh beats from the young thug J.Farraday. Expect fat bass, snappy snare hits, wishy-washy vocal samples n chillwave at it’s finest. This kid is only getting better, who knows where he’ll be a year from now. Wait ’til someone starts spitting on this stuff, it’ll surely be nasty. In the meantime vibe out to this lil’ mini tape release. Oh, and don’t forget about Beat Tape #1.
