Ghostpoet - Meltdown (Squarepusher Remix)

British singer/producer Ghostpoet has made a steady home in melancholia
ever since his 2011 debut. For his upcoming sophomore album
'Some Say I So I Say Light' out May 6th via Brownswood Recordings,
he definitely has not changed his address. And with this massive remix
by electronic whiz Squarepusher, there is no need.

Squarepusher replaces the original's off-kilter drums, piano and strings with
a soothing contemplative rhodes melody, buzzing bass, drum n bass percussion
and sparkly synths. Vocalist  Woodpecker Wooliams nails the hook with
her spectral delivery.

All in all Squarepusher's take is way more epic and ominous.
And good for it.

Droop-E (feat. Nite Jewel and J. Stalin) - N The Traffic [Video]

Droop-E has been quietly killing the beatmaker game. On the low, he's
contributed several gems to E-40's (his dad) past few releases and also
put out a mixtape of his own where he flipped all Sade samples.

In anticipation of his upcoming EP Hungry and Humble, he has joined forces with

fellow Bay Area brethren J. Stalin and bedroom dream pop siren Nite Jewel. 

Its encouraging seeing rappers continue this new trend of collaborating with

non R&B/less conventional singers. Big Boi got up with Phantogram and

Little Dragon, Danny Brown is going to be heard soon with Purity Ring.

Nite Jewel turns up with a smooth hook that complements the beat which 

is a laid back knocker with UFO synth squiggles, naughty xylophones,

heavily reverbed chord stabs and a Jeep-ready bassline.

The video is slick, depicting a 1930s Bay Area scene, drenched in hazy

light, cigar smoke and muted colors. Everything is old school swank, 

everyone moves in slow motion.

Of course, E-40 shows up.

Craig G feat. Chaundon & Big Pooh - Effortless

Craig G is a rap vet whose flow and lyricism still holds weight today. For this cut off his

upcoming album 'Ramblings Of An Angry Old Man' out via Soulspazm Records, he 

teams up with some younger cats - Big Pooh, Chaundon and sample flipping maestro

Jake One. 

It's a battle rap affair aim for heads and at the heads of any and all contenders.

Sasha Go Hard - Do U Know Who I Am (Mixtape Stream)

Sasha Go Hard has a killer with this mixtape. This follow up to her first mixtape

'Glory Girl' is very consistent. At 15 tracks, there is no filler. It's just fix after fix

of that murky ominous Midwest trap rap that has been recentlyflowing out Chicago's

 veinsvia transfusions from Chief Keef and King Louie.

Considering her lil' bad ass, she quite mature and thoughtful, always coming through

lyrically, riding these dirty beats with her limber laidback flow that she switches up

at the right time. Furthermore, props to her display of female unity by throwing on

a posse cut with fellow Chi-town femme spitters - Katie Got Bandz and Chella H.

She ain't called 'Go Hard' for no reason.
