Aaron Rose – Swank Corleone [Audio]

Pro Era member Aaron Rose delivers a tough-as-nails new heater, ”Swank Corleone,” that also serves as the lead single off his long-awaited EP, ‘Elixir.’ While a majority of the EP is produced by fellow Brooklynite J57, “Swank Corleone” finds Rose collaborating with Boston artist Latrell James. And the result is one of the heaviest tracks the emcee has released to date. He has his own rhymes to thank for that, because he blends ridiculous wordplay with an even crazier flow that he rattles off over massive bass and moody piano keys. The skittering instrumental is the perfect complement to Rose’s bars, which combine tough-talk bravado (“My ni**a, I’m very clever/ Let me guess, you too?) with some shots aimed at his critics. Just peep these lines: “Step into my ring, get boxed in/ The most diverse, but they sayin’ we boxed in/ So even if you drop a pin, you couldn’t find me.” You may think you know what Rose and his Pro Era cohorts have to offer, but you’d also be dead wrong. “Swank Corleone” can now be streamed, and is available for download as the first instant grat track off the iTunes pre-order for ‘Elixir,’ which drops Dec. 16 via Coalmine Records.

Nyck Caution feat. Alex Mali – Eyes Closed [Audio]

Dad, It’s been one year since everything happened and it’s still such a crazy feeling to know you aren’t here anymore. You gave me the courage and determination to keep pushing and it feels almost unfair you’re not here to see it all play out. This song is just my letter to you and to let you know I’ll always keep my head up and eyes open. You’ve done more than you will ever know. – Jesse

All it takes is some patience and perseverance — a message Joey Bada$$ presents on “Devastated.” Although he’s experienced quite the tumultuous journey since breaking out in 2012 with the stellar 1999, the Brooklyn rapper is solely focused on the silver lining. After first premiering it during his Coachella set in April, Joey released the reflective “Devastated” and its become a audible linchpin for where the rapper is at in this course of his career — mentally and figuratively. Just take the chorus: “I used to feel so devastated, at times I thought we’d never make it / But now we on our way to greatness and all that ever took was patience.” With a little patience, the signs of greatness shown on projects like Summer Knights and B4.Da.$$, the vibes let off on songs like “Ready” and “Brooklyn’s Own,” Joey has plenty of reasons to celebrate. “I feel like this song is a song that anyone can connect to and relate to,” he told REVOLT. “What I wanted to do was [create] a new vibe.”
