Read moreAdria Kain gives us a taste of what goes on in the depths of her mind with “Higher”. She speaks nostalgically on her experiences growing up in the suburbs of Burlington, ON. to moving into the city of Toronto, realizing that none of these places are really where she wants to be. Facing challenges and hard times along the way, Kain keeps us uplifted by reassuring us that regardless of what she goes through, her determination to succeed and make it higher is never ending. You can expect this song and many more on Adria’s highly anticipated album entitled “Island In My Mind”, set to release later this fall.

Read moreHiPNOTT Records is proud to announce today that we have signed a multi project deal with Maryland MC Substantial. This deal solidifies Substantial as a HiPNOTT recording artist and enables him to be one of the premier artists on the label. “Signing Substantial to HiPNOTT was a no brainer. Along with talent and experience, Substantial brings a big fanbase with him to the label. He has a very genuine personality and his style fits in perfectly with what we represent at HiPNOTT. We welcome him to the family with open arms!” Kevin Nottingham, owner of HiPNOTT Records. As a 13 year veteran in Hip Hop, Substantial is probably best known for his work with legendary Japanese producer Nujabes and his duo Bop Alloy with Marcus D. He has collaborated with the likes of Oddisee, Kool Herc, Cunninlynguists, Bootsy Collins, and many more. His 2012 album, Home Is Where The Art Is (Mello Music Group), was revered by hip hop fans worldwide. In 2015, look out for a trio of EPs to be released from Substantial; each produced by different producers. Closing out the year will be his next official full length album. To celebrate in today’s announcement, we are unearthing a previously unreleased track, “Splendor”, produced by Satellite 12 (Maga Demus & R.M.S.) for Red Planet Music.

Read moreIt’s been a hot minute since the last Game studio LP. The “dope” Jesus Piece was released in 2012, followed by the LA rapper’s post-major label mixtape OKE: Operation Kill Everything a little less than a year later. Nonetheless, the Game remained restless with his frequent 60 Days of Fitness Instagrams and his Marrying The Game VH1 reality TV show. Turns out the former G-Unit rapper has been restless in the studio too, working on two LPs — Year of the Wolf, for his new Blood Money imprint, as well as a sequel to his decade-old seminal LP The Documentary. Somewhere along the way, he also dropped the altruistic “We Are the World”-like rap compilation “Don’t Shoot” for slain teen Michael Brown and the people of Ferguson, Missouri. The wolf is known as the pack leader, and on his 20-track Year of the Wolf LP, Game proves that he’s leading the pack by taking the reigns as executive producer. Guests on the LP include T.I., Jeezy, Tyga, French Montana and several new Blood Money artists “[Wolves] are no joke,” Game tells VIBE. “They’re nothing like dogs. They scare the shit out of you.” In addition to the Blood Money album, Game is heading back to the studio in October to finish up his next studio LP, The Documentary 2. “Documentary 2 is going to be just as good, if not better,” says Game. He plans on having everyone involved with its predecessor ten years ago back onboard for this project
