Read moreDanny Brown – Smokin’ & Drinkin’ (Jack Beats Remix) [Stream]
Here’s another remix of Danny Brown’s “Smokin’ & Drinkin’” joint. Danny Brown’s “Smokin & Drinkin” first appeared on his critically-acclaimed album Old as the debauched peak of Side B, and has since become a staple of his live shows and a true fan favorite. So it’s only right that Danny’s anthem (produced by Fool’s Gold captain A-Trak and JMIKE) gets a summer single of its own on 7.22.14, complete with remixes from some of electronic music’s biggest names and wildest upstarts. Boys Noize strikes first with a frantic blend of breakbeats and rave stabs, while FG newcomer TroyBoi turns in a technicolor trap masterpiece. Jack Beats slow “Smokin” down to a late-night acid house stomp, and Jersey club king DJ Sliink closes the party with a heavy dose of basement bass. The whole package comes wrapped in appropriately psychedelic cover art from Detroit’s own underground comics hero, Motorbooty creator Mark Dancey, and will be available on limited edition picture disc vinyl from Fool’s Gold later this year.
Read moreAWAR & Vanderslice – The Winning Team [Album Stream]
When a high-caliber NYC rhymesayer like AWAR and a buzzworthy producer such as Vanderslice join forces, their combined powers should leave the competition shaking in its boots. So it’s only appropriate that, on their first joint project, they’ve dubbed themselves The Winning Team. The 17-track album comes heralded by reader-approved singles “Cadillac Grills,” “Reincarnation,” “Broad Daylight” and “Wake Up Call.” Throughout the set, AWAR’s joined on the mic by a variety of noteworthy artists, among them BJ the Chicago Kid, Freddie Gibbs, Giant Gorilla Dog Thing, Has-Lo, King Los, Latoiya Williams and Roc Marciano. Vanderslice handles the bulk of the production, with help from Green Steez, Jaisu and Trox. The Winning Team is now available for free streaming and digital purchase courtesy of The DJBooth. All tracks are high quality audio (320 kbps mp3s).

Read moreBas Talks “Last Winter”, “Dollar & A Dream”, J. Cole’s New Album & More [Video]
If you’ve ever been to a J. Cole show in the past year, you might have seen a husky, bearded black guy stumble onto the stage mid-set. In the midst of that set, said husky bearded black guy will ask J. Cole for a lighter while they both a little confused. Soon thereafter, the two will go into their fun-loving single “Lit.” Since getting thrown into the fire of Cole’s rabid fanbase, Bas has been able to enjoy a solid 2014. His first release, Last Winter, landed on a number of publications (including this one’s) list of best albums of 2014 so far. However, the question that remains is who is Bas exactly? The Queens product got his buzz up the old fashioned way by hitting the streets and the stage. With irreverent but catchy songs like “My N*gga Just Made Bail,” “Donk Of The Day,” and “Nigga On The Dos Equis, Most Interesting Man In The World;” it’s only a matter of time before the first artist under J. Cole’s Dreamville imprint is as recognized as his Born Sinner compadre. While in Los Angeles, we sat down with Bas to talk about the success of his debut project as well as hitting the road with J. Cole on the Dollar And A Dream tour. We also got Bas to reveal some secrets about J. Cole’s upcoming solo album.
