Pro Era-Hail Razor

Pro Era is continuing to prove their bottomless talent with their new single "Hail Razor." Even without lead member Joey Bada$$, the group still thrives on the chemistry they have with each other. A La $oul, Dessy Hinds, and CJ Fly's verses work perfectly together and all over Backpack's ill beat.

Dirty Heads-Sound of Change

Another single off of Dirty Heads' upcoming album, Sound of Change is an anthem for this summer. With an uplifting chorus and some good verses by Dirty J and Duddy B, the eponymous track has me even more excited for the group's third studio album. Look out for Sound of Change on July 8 and download the single on iTunes now.

Mexico City Blondes-Fade

Newcomers Mexico City Blondes drop their first single "Fade" and are already becoming a well known group, making it to the top of the Hype Machine charts. The duo delivers an infectiously catchy track with a dreamy melody. I'm not sure what's next for Mexico City Blondes and it seems as if the whole world is wondering.

BadCop-Nice Dream (ft. Das Pirate)

Australia-based producer BadCop drops a new track with some vocal help from Das Pirate. The production is a nice break from some of the hectic trap drops that are constantly being released and soothing when combined with Das Pirate's vocals.

Russ-Naked

Since I first learned about DIEMON rep Russ from his Brain Dead mixtape, I've been listening to his music non-stop. Not only does this guy make all of his own beats, but he came out with another mixtape back in January in addition to March's Brain Dead. Now he's dropped another track from his third project of the year, not even 6 months into the year. "Naked" is one of Russ' more chill songs, where he's found fantasizing about a woman. Look out for Silence on June 7.

Jurassic 5-The Way We Do It

When I went to check on my regular music blogs this morning, I couldn't believe what I saw. Jurassic 5, a group that I started listening to 3 years ago, released a new song. Last time I had checked Jurassic 5 had split up in 2007 and I never expected to hear any new music from them. Apparently, they got back together in 2013 and just today released their first single in 8 years "The Way We Do It." Once you press play you'll realize that the group is starting from where they left off, over a hard beat from the immortal Heavy D the group unceasingly trade off verses.

Purrple-Tide (ft. Term K)

Prepare yourself, summer is coming. Everyday the weather is getting warmer and artists are releasing the music they've been saving for the season, and "Tide" by Purrple is a great track to kick it off. It starts off with a cut of "Mr. Sandman" but quickly turns into a great pop song. The song stays fresh thanks to Term K's rap verse that wouldn't work on its own but fits in perfectly with the track.
