Pellican Child – Turn Me Down [Audio]

Louis The Child and Pell are Pellican Child. Pell and Louis The Child met over the summer, spending roughly 48 hours in the studio together, culminating in the creation of a handful of songs. These songs took a life of their own becoming Pellican Child – a new side project from the artists launching today with the first single, “Turn Me Down”. Louis The Child and Pell first performed “Turn Me Down” at two sold out Louis the Child + Pell shows in Chicago at the end of November, and will be making the west coast Pellican Child debut on December 9th in Los Angeles at The Fonda – also a sold out Louis The Child + Pell date. The full “Pellican Child” EP will drop in 2017. Press play on “Turn Me Down” below.

Aaron Rose – Parkside Ave [Audio]

Take a trip to Pro Era rapper Aaron Rose’s stomping grounds on “Parkside Ave,” the grimy new single from his much anticipated new EP, ‘Elixir.’ Whereas previous single “Swank Corleone” was a straight-up banger, “Parkside Ave” showcases the Brooklyn artist’s ability to flow effortlessly over a grittier instrumental. It comes courtesy of J57, who provided a majority of the beats on ‘Elixir.’ And on this track, his production is all murk and head-nodding drums. Of course, the artist formerly known as A La $ole uses the Boom bap backdrop to his advantage, especially when nearly blacking out during the final verse. It’s another impressive display of just how technically gifted Rose is as an emcee, but more importantly, it’s another reminder that Elixir is shaping up to be one of the year’s finest Hip-Hop releases. “Parkside Ave” can now be streamed, and is available for download as the second instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for ‘Elixir,’ which drops next Friday, December 16th, via Coalmine Records.
