I.M.G. Playlist 2

In this rap-heavy playlist, Nas soundalike Your Old Droog drops a solid track with a verse from Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Kendrick releases his newest single "i" which lead me to find an old track called "Look Out For Detox", with some unique production. Atlanta newcomer Daye Jack releases another good track. A$AP Rocky adds a couple of verses over Sam Smith's beautiful "I'm Not The Only One" and tag-team Waldo & Sango take on Vic Mensa and Kaytranada's "Wimme Nah."

Must-Hears: "i" and "I'm Not The Only One"

Sango & Waldo-Until Then

Although both are incredibly talented, neither Sango nor Waldo would be where they are today without each other. Until Then marks the duo's third project together, following up last years spectacular NSDE/OUTSDE EP and 2012's Pick Your Own Poison. "Purple Heart" and "Kobe's Room" are still played regularly in my rotation. While significantly shorter than their last album, Until Then is still equally impressive. Though it lacks that one standout track it's clear that the two have created a much more focused and consistent sound, excellently working together to bring out each other's best skills as musicians.

GoldLink-Wassup

Only 15 days after his The God Complex mixtape GoldLink pairs with incredible producer Sango for his best song yet. Sango's combination of the flute sample and some percussion creates a perfect soundscape for GoldLink to lay down some of his fast-paced bars.
