The Motor Club

While waiting for the release of the highly anticipated album Cruise Control from the Ivy League Crew's own Motorcity Maz, he has decided to drop another song to make the wait a little easier. This joint is called The Motor Club and features other fellow members of the Ivy League Crew, such as Sammy Boi The Ish, as well as members from Tha Raiders (Aint Sh*t Tish), Verbal Vomit (A-Minus) and GrindFace (M-City J.R). Kudos to Rico The Beat Bully for the production. 
The combination of sirens, beat, and bold "I ain't never been no poser" statement caught my attention immediately. "I ain't got AIDS, but I'm sort of sick, no oil spills, but I'm more than slick, in a foreign whip, with a Florida chick, it's going down like a porno flick" Maz is getting better and better with his lyrics. This is the first time I've heard those other members of the IVYLC spit. Sammy Boi The Ish is a new addition to the crew, I'd like to hear more word play from him.  Tha Raider's Aint Sh*t Tish held it down for the female rappers out here and had me rocking. Verbal Vomit's A-Minus did exactly that, spit some verbal vomit! I'll definitely have to look more into him as an artist. GrindFace's M-City J.R. is a new face for me as well, but he did a good job laying the final verse. This is not a disappointment at all.

Flatbush Zombies: Young, Black & Arrogant (Live On Sway In The Morning)

Live from the Sway In The Morning show,  Flatbush Zombies performs YBA (Young Black And Arrogant) from their recent D.R.U.G.S. mixtape which was released a week ago. This was one of my favorites from the tape.. take a listen!

Boldy James: Go Fish (Preview)

Boldy James gives a preview to his video Go Fish. The official video is set to be released on Thursday!

TeamBackPack / Funk Volume Cypher II

Funk Volume and Team Back Pack come together and filmed a cypher. Members from both crews did a great job. I would have loved to hear Hopsin on this, but Dizzy held it down. Shoutout to DJ Hoppa for the production!

The Making Of Reflections II (Part 1)

In this video, Richy takes us behind the scenes to see a little bit of the preparation for his next project Reflections II, which drops September 11th! Maybe you will see some familiar faces making a contribution..

A$AP MOB feat. Flatbush Zombies : Bath Salt

 This is the first single from the A$AP Mob's highly anticipated album! A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ant (YG Addie) came together with Flatbush Zombies for the Mob’s first single Bath Salt, which was produced by P On The Boards. The cover is pretty simple, but still significant in my eyes. The vibe I get from the album art is "A$AP till the death of me", which is deep. They changed the acronym of "A$AP" from "Always Strive and Prosper" to "Assassinate Snitches And Police", how trill. There is not yet a date set in stone for the release of the album, but we are surely waiting.

A$AP Twelvyy Interview

In this interview with Blow Hip Hop TV, A$AP Twelvyy talks about traveling, how he met the A$AP crew, and future plans. Being in a crew, you learn to play your part and realize when it's your time to shine. Will Twelvyy be the next to prosper from the A$AP crew?

105 pts, 38 assist, 200 Rebounds At The Half

Waking up to new music is always a plus for me. Ze and Peez take it back like four flats on a Cadillac with this new joint 105 pts, 38 assist, 200 Rebounds At The Half. Not sure of the significance of the title, but I find it humorous. Check it out..

Summertime In Detroit

Man oh man, I think we may have the summer 2012 anthem for Detroit. Yung Snazz released a fun single called Summertime In Detroit featuring Ria Cashi. This song takes you through the ups and downs of Detroit and will paint you a pretty good picture of what type of activity goes on in Detroit. The Summertime In Detroit EP will be out for download later on this week, but this will hold you over!

Chilliano Flex Mode

The homie DJ O1 is back at you with Chilliano Flex Mode, which is a bonus beat from his latest beat tape Steelo. This beat screams TRAP MUSIC and will hold you over until his next big release!

R.I.D.E.

More tunes from the talented GSX Music Group! R.I.D.E. (Remember It Doesn't End) from Oshaun featuring Staasia Daniels is a nice song to cruise to on an endless road to nowhere. On the Till I Die Remix, Xpress was featured, but this time he switched it up and was the producer for this song.

Till I Die (Remix)

A few days ago Oshaun released a Till I Die remix video featuring Staasia Daniels and Xpress. How do you think they did? Talented individuals coming out of Toronto, don't sleep!

D.R.U.G.S

Flatbush Zombies have just released their D.R.U.G.S. mixtape. The beginning of the mixtape played off of the whole Zombie incident that occurred in Miami not to long ago. The 16 tracks have features from artists such as Erick Arc Elliott, Kilo Kush, Kaya, and more. The hippie-like album art compliments the music wonderfully. 
Download  D.R.U.G.S.

Staasia Daniels

Staasia Daniels (@MzStaasia) is a talented up and coming artists out of Toronto that sings covers as well as creates her own tunes. She has covered songs such from Drake's viral Marvin's Room to Musiq Soulchild's Who Knows.
The song that stuck out the most to me was 11 O'Clock, simply because I feel that just about every girl can relate to having this feeling. I think it's safe to say that every girl gets that urge in the middle of the night to call her mister, simply because she misses him. This video was directed by Danny Snow and shot by @Sunset6Studios.
You can find more of her music here at www.youtube.com/Staasia7

Now You Do (Trailer)

I told you guys I would start posting more material from Sir Michael Rocks, and I will keep my word. This is a trailer to Sir Michael's upcoming video Now You Do. The mysterious circus-like theme and music is different, and the Coogi sweater is pretty wavy. I will keep you posted on the full version!

D-Boy MP3

A few days ago, DJ Mo Beatz released visuals to D-Boy and just put out the MP3. Features include other Detroit artists such as HBK, Dusty McFly, SatItAintTone & Big Sean.

LOTNS3 Performance

If you were unable to attend LOTNS3 this past Saturday then here is a little snippet of Accomplice's performance! He performed Minimum Wage, One Time, and Boss up feat. J.Fin! Hopefully before I leave for school I will be fortunate enough to attend a performance.

Thera-P/Mercy

Michigan's rising artist P.L. just dropped a the single for the streets titled Me & My Dj, and now he's back with a video rapping over Kanye West's infamous Mercy and TheraFlu beat. This will be available for download on his new #ThisIsThePmix tape, which drops tomorrow on PLOFFICIAL.com

F.W.B.

 First single off of the Soundcheck EP from B-Smooth titled F.W.B (Friends With Benefits) which was produced by T-Deezy. B really impressed me with this single, because I've never heard him sing before! Being friends with benefits is a controversial subject, and everyone has their opinion about it. Let's get this Soundcheck EP!!!!!!!!!! 

7.14.2012

Raci$t

Keep coming with the foolay music for me to groove to. I present to you Racist from B. Lewie feat. J.Fin straight from his next project Living II Good, which will soon drop.

Minimum Wage

Sorry for the wait, for now only the artwork for Minimum Wage from Accomplice will be released. This artwork was created by J. Fin (@FINISKING) and portrays the meaning of working Minimum Wage perfectly. The full version of Minimum Wage from Accomplice will be available for download at a later date, but this will keep you anticipating. 

Supreme Vol. 2

Few days ago Crack Killz dropped his first single from his next album GODBLESSYOU. Now, from Crack Killz you have Supreme Vol 2 feat. Britney Stoney and produced by Derico Jenkins (@SUPERPRODUCERS). @TheWholiganX has been doing pretty dope art work! This will be on the IVYLC Artist Collective compilation entitled Silent Riot, which will be out in FALL 2012. Follow the IVYLC gang @MrAlmostThere @_Zamar @BritneyStoney @Sammyboitheish @SupaNovaLove @_oozie.

7.13.2012

D-Boy

Dj Mo Beatz feat. HBK, Say It Aint Tone, Dusty Mcfly, and Big Sean went crazy on this new D-boy track. I like what they did with the video, making it look old school. Detroit Bad Boys drop, coney island, boss up dance, minks, and Cartiers are SCREAMING Detroit! You'll see a cameo of some other familiar Detroit artists as well. I'm happy to see all of these artists from the city coming together to support one another rather than having issues with one another.
 

Fly Gang Friday: Trick or Treat

Drizz is back at it with new music and has recently put out another track called Trick or Treat for FlyGang Friday! This is a perfect drop seeing that it is Friday the 13th!

7.12.2012

I Don't Like

Pontiac's own Lil Mike, Keef Buc, and J Nel came together and spit some rhymes over Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" beat. How'd they do?

Pork Chop Oprea

Ze produced a new beat called "Pork Chop Oprea". I don't know exactly why that is the title, but it's a gravy beat.

Maliceous Skates X Peas & Carrots International

Yes, I know this post is supposed to be about the PNCINTL x Maliceous Skates collabe, but I just want to say I had a great time yesterday at the Casey Veggies meet and greet at Burn Rubber. Above is a picture that PNCINTL posted on Instagram of the Burb Crew and us from The Faded Penguin cooling outside. After, we rocked out at the Big KRIT concert which was pretty crazy. Fun. Now, back to what the post was originally about. Maliceous Skates and PNCINTL have came together to collab on a skate deck! Below is a commercial revealing them to the world! I don't skateboard, but this makes me consider getting into the craft. Decks are available at http://www.maliceousskates.com

Y.N.M.

This morning Casey released a fun summer track produced by Roosevelt called Y.N.M. (Young N*gga Movement) featuring Niko G4 and Rocket Da Goon. Join the Y.N.M because all the young people are on the move! Catch Casey with Big K.R.I.T at the Live From The Underground which begins July 11th here in Detroit! That same day there will be a Casey Veggies in-store meet and greet at Burn Rubber Sneaker Boutique, where they will also release the PNCINTL line and PNCINTL x Burn Rubber collaboration. Burn Rubber will be the only store in Michigan to carry the PNCINTL line.

All Night

 Here it is, Asante's first release titled "All Night" featuring Drew 32! This single is off of Asante's EP "The Mind of a Ghanaian" which will be released soon! Asante came hard with the amazing vocals, and Drew threw down with the ill rhymes.This is such a fun and smooth club song for the mature crowd.

7.08.2012

Cash Life

Shoutout to Alius Magazine for the post on the new track from Crack Killz and Aye Peez called Cash Life. I'm happy that Crack finally came out with another track, because it's been a while since I've heard anything new from him. Any song that has a good concept and lyrcal content is never a disappointment for me. Great production and feature from Aye Peez. The Givenchy-like artwork is very ill, shoutout to @TheWhoLiganX for putting that together. I'm getting eager to hear his next project #GODBLESSYOU which is set to be released on 9/11/12.

Beast Biggaveli

So, this is a fashion short film written by Candis Benford and directed by Donavan Glover. I'm pretty positive the majority of it, if not all, was shot in Detroit. Throughout the entire film the music kept me on my toes and many dope clothing pieces as well as accessories caught my attention. When you make it to the end, you'll want to know what is going to happen next..... can we get another film? I could watch a whole season. Shoutout to the Coke Boys!

The Coldest EP

Finally got my hands on Tange Lomax's "The Coldes EP"! I told you guys I would do a post on it, so here it is. I love the fact that she put "Deep Quiet Storm" first because that is actually my favorite song from her. Other tracks that caught my attention were Rare and Better Than This. 
Listen & Download The Coldest EP

ChInA ToWn BoUnD

This is the first beat to ever be from ZelooperZ! I think the title of it, which is "ChInA ToWn BoUnD", matches the beat perfectly. It definitely reminds me of the types of sounds you may hear while walking down the streets of China.

BLACKgold

 Chicago artist and producer Acely released an EP called "BLACKgold" a few days ago!
 I have to say I am impressed, because he produced it by himself. Kudos. The track that caught my attention was Fluke Skytalker! For some reason it made me feel like a hip-hop cowgirl haha. Follow him on twitter (@WithoutAlius) and download: BLACKgold

I'm Out Here (Remix)

If you're from the Detroit area, then you should know the street anthem is "I'm Out Here" from Dusty Mcfly. Well, today at 8:40pm, Hot 107.5 debuted the remix to Dusty Mcfly's hit single. I wasn't surprised to hear Big Sean on the opening verse, but when I heard the Dom Kennedy feature I was very impressed. Hopefully people on the west coast will start catching on to the "I'm out here" phrase. This was a great opportunity for Dom Kennedy to get heard in the Detroit area. Get hip.
Here is the D-Mix (Detroit Mix) to I'm Out Here.. and as you can guess, it only includes Detroit artists. The artists featured on here are Big Sean, Danny Brown, Peezy (Team East), & Boldy James

Fresh Video: Remy Banks, A$AP Ant, & Juice "3FLIPS6"

Here are visuals to "3FLIPS6" from Remy Banks, A$AP Ant, and Juice. A$AP Mob member YG Addie is beginning to emerge! This is a dope video and all 3 artists did their thing on the track. Check it...

Showroom

As soon as I seen that Curren$y dropped a video to "Showroom" from his The Stoned Immaculate album, all I could say was "YES".. well, more like yell, simply because this is one of my favorites joints from the tape. What made me even more amped was the fact that he had on a vintage Rick Mahorn Detroit Pistons jersey with an icy Ferrari and Lamborghini to accompany him. Fire.

America

To celebrate the 4th of July, this song from Mac Miller featuring Casey Veggies and Joey Bada$$ was released titled "America" . I like the combination of the 3 artists on this track. Happy 4th of July.

BIO

Flei Yung Collection in conjunction with The Middle Class Delegation presents "BIO" from Jay John Henry. BIO stands for "bust it open" hahahaaaa! Clearly he doesn't discriminate between rump sizes, either way, bust it open for a middle class n*gga.
Download: BIO

eZ CUM eZ Go

It seems like Ze has been dropping a lot of music lately, and he doesn't stop with his new song "eZ CUM eZ Go" featuring The NIGHARACC. Ze let's it be known that no h*es will be getting in-between him and his money!

How Ya Do Dat

 Don't know too much about the dude Max Julien, but his latest single titled "How Ya Do Dat" caught my attention via Twitter. I like the west coast vibe I get when I listen to it, and this song will be played throughout my summer. It's always exciting to hear the new artists coming out of Detroit!

Juice

 The time has finally come, and Earlly Mac has put out something new for the people. This video is to his track called "Juice", which is from his next mixtape "Kill Em All". The Foolaid juice is too official, I need some. Also, Techno-ish beat with the power up gaming sounds is pretty cool. No exact date for when the mixtape drops, but will keep you guys posted!

7.03.2012

Rose Island Volume 1

The 18 track "Rose Island Volume 1" mixtape was just dropped from Theophilus London. With features from artists such as A$AP Rocky, Marvin Gaye, and Sade, this tape is surely dope. Morning Kisses, Love is More, Big Spender, and She Said OK are a few of my favorites. Light some candles and enjoy.
Download Rose Island Vol. 1

Electrip Relazation

Just the other week, the Ninja, Nolan, released a track called "Awaurd Tour". This week he is going hard on yet another track, which is titled "Electrip Relazation" feat. B-Nix. Ninja Town is almost here y'all.. 8/7/12

7.02.2012

Easy Minded

Nolan just released visuals to "Easy Minded" which I'm guessing is off of his highly anticipated mixtape "Shed Life". F.A.D.E.D and Burn Rubber apparel is spotted multiple times throughout the video, which is ill! I CAN'T WAIT FOR SHED LIFEEEEE!

Me & My DJ

It's been a minute since P.L. has dropped anything but, here is something new from him titled "Me & My Dj". Hopefully we will be hearing much more music from him this summer!

Lurkative

Man o man, the homie Ze is always dropping crazy tracks, and I love it. We all have been bombarded by at least 1 person who constantly lurks through your entire life. Here is "Lurkative" for all of the lurkers out there.. you'll be able to relate

Pink Gators

The guy B.Lewie aka Young Lew Hefner has always entertained me with his music and his latest track "Pink Gators" produced by @AYEPEEZE is no different. The mixture of his lyrical content and the instrumentals definitely flows well. Months ago he released "Livin' Good" but I'm hoping Livin' II Good is on the way? We'll see..

Exhibit M

Maz released a new track called "Exhibit M (Motorcity) Cruise Control" just the other day. I've been pleasantly satisfied with the type of music he has been putting out!

All Night

In 7 days, the homie Asante will be releasing a single called "All Night" featuring Drew 32. I've had the pleasure to hear the song already, and you will be in for an amazing treat!

7.01.2012

WAVES


Here's some new visuals to Joey Badass' "Waves" shot by Vashtie! I like the concept of this video, check it out.
