J. Cole - Lost Ones

While the expectations set on Cole due to his Roc Nation signing will probably never be met, this dude is a beast on the mic and a refreshing voice in this era of club singles. I haven’t heard a song like this from a new rapper..actually scratch that..any rapper in a long a$$ time. Immortal Technique’s ‘You Never Know’ is the one song that comes to mind that really struck a similar chord. While I hope nothing but commercial success for Cole, I’d be content with him creating songs like this and carving his own lane similar to Technique and Brother Ali.

The Childish Games by D.VELOPED

Man Oh Man…I can’t get enough of Donald Glover and mashups, so the combination is a head burner. D.VELOPED absolutely kills this track throwing Gambino and Baby Jesus over a BSB instrumental hahaha.

“sunday afternoon” - 1st track from the rockets ep, originally released in 2006

it was a mild day it was a sunday we might have been lost
i was 19 and this couldn’t mean anything at all

we would just walk around the lake
in the evening and you might take my hand
we couldn’t picture an end
in the morning the sun will come again

it was september and we could never to pretend to understand
why we moved so fast we were at the edge of the last years of our youth

i just want to sleep through the afternoon…

original song recorded in my college dormitory. palo alto, CA. violins, guitars, vocals, electronic drums, programming.

Soulbrotha - She Won’t (She Will Freestyle) prod. by Joe Milly

It’s been a minute since Soulbrotha dropped a new track on us, so I was pleasantly surprised seeing this in the inbox. Over Drake’s new single “She Will” Soulbrotha drops the usual potent lyrics. It only took me the first 4 lines to be reminded about Soulbrotha’s penmanship:

“They say rap is out of control;Word to Von Pea
Emcees are great mimmics; I’m just trying to do me
Not even feeling myself; Numb to the pain
The metaphors get abused they take it in vain…”

I’ve always been a huge fan of The Game and this mixtape is solid front to back. While his name dropping rhymes have always been criticized, I’ve always considered him to be one of the most versatile rappers in this new hip hop generation. You can always count on him for street bangers, smooth pop tracks, and instropective songs. This mixtape is no different and I’m really looking forward to the R.E.D. album coming out later this year.
