[MP3] Zayn – Befour

And people thought he was crazy to quit. Can’t front, the music Zayn Malik from One Direction has been dropping since going solo has actually been petty solid although, truth be told, 1D are an underrated group too because of their overwhelmingly tween and teenybopper fan base. Click play and tell me I’m wrong!

[MP3] Vic Mensa – 16 Shots

Rapper, Vic Mensa debuted this track, “16 Shots”, a tribute to Laquan McDonald, when he performed it at the ‪#‎JusticeforFlint‬ benefit concert where it promptly cracked my skull open when I watched it live on Oscar night. This is, I believe, the actual audio from that performance which surfaced on Soundcloud a a few days ago. And they say hip-hop is nothing but turn-up music nowadays and the kids don’t care about being socially conscious…

[MP3] Sathia Sai Baba – Hate Me (Prod. by Au Chyld)

Nice one from the inbox. Dude writes in his email pitch that people say he reminds them of Kid Cudi, Xzibit, Kendrick Lamar, MF DOOM, Joey Bada$$ and Vince Staples. Based on this song, not sure I hear that but I like the track.

[MP3] French Montana – Figure It Out Feat. Kanye West & Nas

This actually kind of sounds like the type of hip-hop an EDM producer would make on their downtime. It’s aight. Speaking of French Montana though…

[MP3] #TBT: E-Rule – Listen Up

Another #TBT Throwback from the mid-90s. This record was crazy (shout to the homies, Jerome and Bilal on this one) but was only a very cult, underground ht. Whatever happened to this dude though, I wonder??
