Man…Kwabs has one of the most powerful voices around. It gives you chills, quite literally in this video for “Perfect Ruin,” shot beautifully in a sub-zero location. Captures the song wonderfully…
Kwabs will release Love + War in May and this is the instant grat track when you pre-order now. iTunes / Amazon.
There are few things better than when an artist comes out of (relatively speaking) nowhere to floor you with some incredible music. I had heard the name Kali Uchis for the past few months but peeped my first track about 3 weeks ago, and have been anxiously awaiting this project since that moment. Definitely feeling some Amy vibes on this. Download her free debut project immediately!

Another guilty pleasure alert (shout to Fetty Wap). I dunno, there’s just something about the record that I like, but content-wise, it’s the same ol’. For ignorant times, make it Suntory Chinx Drugz time.
To me, this is the best record that showcases Sam’s voice on In The Lonely Hour. I still get chills at a few parts of this track. Powerful vocals.
You’re not perfect, but you’re not your mistakes.
New visuals from Jhene…which is really all you need to say. Hit play to see the video for “Spotless Mind,” a track inspired by possibly the greatest break up movie of all time and a pretty good take on what makes relationships so difficult, especially for 20-something’s. Word to Joel and Clementine.
It’s been a while since Terius has had a hit record, but if programmers make the right call, this one should be in heavy rotation. Kinda the jam right now, don’t front…despite the steampunk Versace look in the video? Radio killaaaaaaa
Excellent visuals from the homey OnCue for “No Way” off his Angry Young Man project, which was executive produced by Just Blaze. You can download the full project for free here, or support via iTunes here. Either way, GET THAT.
Now we just need a video for “Don’t Forget Your Coat”…
**GUILTY PLEASURE ALERT**
Could have done without the rapping (and the insanely awkward outro), but the hook and the sing-song parts kinda go hard. LOL @ actually having a pie baked in the kitchen scene. Fantastic.
It’s 3am here in London and I’ve been listening to Joey Badass and Lupe’s new albums all night, which are completely reinvigorating my feelings towards contemporary hip-hop. Honestly, outside of some of the best, I feel like hip-hop’s been a bit stale the past few years. Well both of these projects and both of these artists are absolutely KILLING it right now and restoring my faith. This legit, off the top freestyle from Lupe is a great example of what I’m talking about. Cop Tetsuo & Youth in stores now and enjoy!
