JSWISS & Jared Evan – Glass Case [Audio]

Two of New York’s finest young talents, JSWISS and Jared Evan, connect on the soulful and meditative “Glass Case,” which is the second leak taken from Leedz Edutainment’s upcoming ‘Eastern Standard’ compilation. Where Philly native Mega Ran dropped his hard-nosed head-nodder, “The East Coast,” as the project’s inaugural single, JSWISS and Evan kick back and get introspective on “Glass Case.” Despite being so different topically, there’s a connection between the two cuts, which is the strong production of The Arcitype. For this track, The Arcitype supplies his collaborators with a melodic Boom bap canvas, which they definitely use to their advantage. JSWISS’ rhymes dive deep into the concept of being pigeonholed, both in art and in life, while Evan’s vocals evoke some emotional and inner turmoil. It’s a fresh turn for JSWISS especially, given that he just dropped a summer-ready new EP, No Music. Evan appears to be in the lab too, though, if his tweets are any indication. And if not, his fans have a lot to love on “Glass Case” (and here’s hoping he and JSWISS work together again!). “Glass Case” is now available for stream and download through all major digital retailers. Stay on the lookout for ‘Eastern Standard,’ which is due out soon via Leedz Edutainment!

Joe Budden feat. Jazzy – By Law [Audio]

In 2016, Joe Budden’s brand has never been bigger. Throughout the summer he dominated headlines and timelines via an open and running dialogue with Drake, a dialogue that has resulted in millions of Soundcloud and Youtube streams. With momentum at its peak, Joe Budden returns with his highly anticipated new solo album Rage & The Machine; which will be released on 10-21-2016. After unveiling the release date for his new album a few days ago by sky-diving with Complex Joe Budden releases the second single, “By Law,” from his forthcoming new album Rage & The Machine. Primarily produced by araabMUZIK (The Diplomats, Slaughterhouse, Cam’ron, 50 Cent, A$AP Rocky, Jadakiss, Swizz Beatz) Rage & The Machine’s lead-single, “Flex,” featuring Fabolous & Tory Lanez is the first of many shining moments from the project. For 15-years in a career of chutes, ladders and no shortage of excitement, Joe has been anything but an average and Rage & The Machine is the culmination (which includes a Grammy nomination) of his confessional style of songwriting, convicted deliveries, complex rhyme patterns, vulnerability and aggressive vocals. “I’m thankful to still be passionate about Hip-Hop, but even more thankful that Hip-Hop is still passionate about me; soon we Rage” Joe states. “Working with Joe on Rage & The Machine was like being in a documentary movie” araab declared. “He literally poured his heart and soul into this project and used me as an instrument to help paint the canvas. Joe was born to entertain.”

While discovering the environment, I found myself actually finding my musical purpose. That to me was heaven.” Listen below.
