Bleachers-I Wanna Get Better


Bleachers is a band out of New Jersey quickly gaining attention from their debut single "I Wanna Get Better." The upbeat track proves a great anthem that will hopefully be followed up with some more Bleachers songs soon.

Elli Ingram-C'Dawha


Elli Ingram releases her sophomore EP The Doghouse. She's been described as the hip-hop Adele, and it's hard to argue. The Doghouse hasn't been released in the states yet, but in the UK it's a big hit and not hard to see why. This track combines her vocals with some really awesome production by Felix Joseph and Aston Rudi. Also check out "All Caught Up", "When It Was Dark". and "The River."

Peking Duk-High (ft. Nicole Millar)


Australian duo Peking Duk release their single "High" and get some vocal help from Nicole Millar. The vocals start the song off as a nice alternative joint with a good electronic beat, but then the duo creates an amazing beat with some great drops.

Collins.-Brooklyn Basement


Underrated Phoenix rapper Collins. drops his Sincerely, Collins. debut mixtape. Admittedly, as a whole project Sincerely, Collins. wasn't great, but it had a few solid tracks. One of them being the follow up to "Stupid Shit", entitled "Brooklyn Basement." With intelligent lyrics and some soulful production by Qux, "Brooklyn Basement" is definitely a standout track. Also check out "Stupid Shit" and "Fly."

Cashmere Cat-Wedding Bells (Nicholas Basquiat Remix)


Alright, time to catch up on posting. First up is the Nicholas Basquiat remix of Cashmere Cat's "Wedding Bells." Basquiat turns "Wedding Bells" from a bit of an unorganized and choppy track into a symphony.

Chance The Rapper-Untitled


Holy shit, this isn't real. Chance released 2 songs yesterday and a previewed a 3rd one today on Sway In The Morning. It's happening, something big is coming. This song doesn't have a known title yet, but it's my favorite of the last 3. Chance can be heard saying that this song is "very important to [him]." What does it all mean???

UPDATE: It took me a few more listens to realize it, but that's J.Cole at the end! Finally, a Chano x J.Cole song.

SZA-Childs Play (ft. Chance The Rapper)


I don't know what I've done to deserve this, but Chance came out with more music today. This time in a more conventional verse on TDE's songstress SZA's single Childs Play. Great mellow track and now Chance has worked with 2 members from TDE. One day. One day...
