Following up with the wildly successful release of “Count On It”, Dunson dropped a new webisode highlighting his show at the legendary S.O.B.s in New York City. The video also contains a preview of “Ode to my Microphone” off his upcoming project, The Investment. Read what Dunson had to say about the video below.

“In January, I was given the opportunity headline the popular Sol Village showcase at the legendary S.O.B.’s in New York City. It was a packed house where the amount of support we received was crazy! The band came out for a set where we performed new tracks from the forthcoming mixtape, The Investment. The song previewed in this webisode is entitled “Ode to My Microphone” which is produced by The Phatboiz and will be included on the The Investment. The Atom Evolve crew came along to catch some footage of and leading up to the performance. They threw together a quick highlight reel to show how it all went down.” – Dunson

I had to get this up – such a great video.

Chi Duly unleashed this project on Tuesday and in a matter of hours, The Weeknd himself posted it on his Tumblr and for good reason, this tape is fire. Read what Chi Duly had to say about the project and download it below.

“Balloons of Haus is house music for the “I’m not really into techno” folks. It’s uptempo but more to the point (free of those minute long intros/breakdowns of arbitrary ambience). The concept was born of my interest in bringing The Weeknd’s vibe to a DJ set. He’s talking about what every other artist you hear in the club is talking about except he’s artistic, emotionally believable. The Weeknd’s subject matter is already club friendly. The pace however was only bedroom friendly. My project still retains that laid back, mellow uptempo R&B vibe but picks up on a harder electro vibe with the Dirty Diana remix. It’s all around a very diverse range of house music genres.” – Chi Duly

It’s been a minute since I’ve thrown something up here – my apologies guys. Graduation is becoming a real thing… and so is the job search leading up to it. However, when a new Zak Downtown track drops, there’s just no excuse not to post it.

Not sure if this bit is attached to a project or not, but I sure hope it is. The track samples Brooklyn-based indie band Emil & Friends‘ song “C.U.P.I.D.” It’s really a perfect track for the day after V-day, but I’m sure they didn’t plan that or anything.

Dunson, formerly known as Kenton Dunson, just dropped the first single off his upcoming mixtape The Investment. The track entitled “Count On It” features amazing production from the Grammy-nominated producers Phatboiz as well as clever lyrics from Dunson himself. I have had the song replay ever since it hit my inbox (my roommates can attest to this) and I am sure you will hooked on it as well. Read what Dunson had to say about the track and check out the single below.

“”Count on It” represents the unapologetic confidence you have when you have put your work in. I love how it incorporates a childhood sample that so many of us are familiar with. That helped me keep it ambitious but not overly aggressive! The underground success of Creative Destruction 2 opened up some opportunities for me. One of those opportunities was to work with Grammy-Nominated production crew, Phatboiz. After a few sessions together, they saw my passion and started to hear my increased lyrical development. That led them to cook up this track for me. I heard it and came up with the concept and verses immediately! We laid it down one night in NYC and the energy and vibe was incredible so we knew this would be the first to release off the upcoming project entitled The Investment.” – Dunson

Mike Stud just dropped his first new release since his mixtape A Toast To Tommy. The track entitled “Critic” is a laid back address to his critics. With success, critics always follow and by the looks of things Mike Stud is headed towards even more success. “I’m gonna to do it big, XXL” raps in one line of the song and he wasn’t lying. Check out his feature on XXL here. Oh, did I mention that “Critic” was produced by the grammy nominated producer Brody Brown? Yep, the same producer behind Bruno Mars’ “Grenades”.

Silver Medallion and Feature Cuts join forces on “Drop Out, Kiss Girls”, a banging new Electro/Dubstep single. The track is definitely one of those tracks that people will be singing along to at festivals. It is also very unique sounding and I think the two are on to something with it. Stay tuned for more collaborations between Silver Medallion and Feature Cuts. The two have a project planned together for a late spring release.

“Drop Out, Kiss Girls is the saga of America’s wasted youth, with the world crumbling around us, its only natural to take the time we have and chase love and music, the only two things which really matter.” – Silver Medallion
