Just finished listening to the newly-released Atrocity Exhibition album by Danny Brown. As I opined on Twitter, it’s really, really good and this track is a stand-out from this excellent album. K.dot, Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt, titans of the new school of hip-hop lyricism all together??! Yes, this is as good as you would expect. Go check out Atrocity Exhibition, you won’t be sorry. And you’re welcome, in advance….
Now this is real hip-hop! Producer (and my homie!), Domingo recruits a whole a raft of real spittas to completely annihilate his excellent flip of Big Daddy Kane‘s Golden Era classic, “Wrath Of Kane” including Joell Ortiz, Big Pun‘s son, Chris Rivers, Snow Tha Product, Token and Kane himself. Not only is the track pure FIYA though, the animated video, directed by Matt Cassero, is really well done too.
“Kill At Will: The Final Chapter” is a track from Domingo‘s forthcoming That’s Hip Hop: Generation Next album, set for release on October 14th, featuring all the previously mentioned MCs as well as Oswin Benjamin, Denzil Porter, Nutso, Thanos, Zooka Joe and more. Those of you who checked out Domingo’s last compilation album project, Same Game, New Rules know this new one should be an absolute banger!

Y’all think we forgot about the real??! Track from the new Ras Kass album, Intellectual Property: SOI2 which you can BUY HERE: iTunes | That’s Hip Hop Store
New Nelly Furtado! Sounds not bad to our ears, but do people still care though? We’ll see…
Debut single from a new Canadian act, out of Calgary, AB of all places, called BeachSeason. Here’s the PR drop on them:
BeachSeason is the moniker of musicians Sam Avant and Simon Blitzer – a Calgary based duo recently signed to Universal Music who combine R&B vocals, luscious synths and bass heavy undertones to create a sound of ambient dreamy beats that takes you on an irresistible sonic daydream. Unmatched with their unique take on modern music and first-rate with their remixes/features with artists such as Rainer + Grimm, Humans, Mt. Eden – it’s no wonder that they are starting to build an international following. “Tribes” is the debut single from their forthcoming EP Libra Year – it’s lush, vibrant, experimental and everything that Beach Season has always been – completely inimitable. Their recent collaboration with Rainer & Grimm “Do It Right” quickly hit one plus million streams on Spotify.
Sounds like a bit of knockoff of The Weeknd but there’s enough originality and quality going on here to warrant your attention, I think. Curious to hear what subsequent music sounds like. Dig it? You can stream it via your favorite service (iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, YouTube etc.): HERE
