X-CORE FT ZOE & NAOMI - NEED YOU (CENTRA 100BPM REMIX)

Heard this on Skream & Benga's late night show last night (they were in for Annie Nightingale.) The track was part of X-Core mix and this is the Centra remix of his track 'Need You.' All I can say is its absolutely epic. Shout out to Skream & Benga for championing new music.


xKore ft. Zoe & Naomi - Need You (Centra 100BPM Remix) by Centra

YOUNG JEEZY FT T.I. - F.A.M.E (FAKE ASS MUTHAF*CKAS ENVY)

This track is supposedly taken from Young Jeezy's 'TM103: Hustlerz Ambition' album. It features T.I. and production is handled by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, I'm not sure there are any producers out there whose productions are as epic as J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League's, it makes the song for me.

RWD MAG - OCTOBER 2011 (10TH ANNIVERSARY)

MURS AND SKI BEATZ - LETS GO

Murs links up with producer Ski Beatz to produce this rock sounding single 'Lets Go.' You can watch the visuals below.

FRANK OCEAN - BEST SELLER

Another Frank Ocean reaches the interweb with nobody knowing whether its a reference or something else. The track is titled 'Best Seller' and Mr Ocean is on fine form as usual.


INTRODUCING BLACK COBAIN

The introducing series has been away far too long. We are back with Virgina rapper Black Cobain, a rapper in the mould of Wale which is not surprising as the two are apparently good friends. He has released three mix-tape's and is building a big reputation for himself among the rap community. Below you can watch a video of Black Cobain talking about himself and how he got into rap as well as a video for his track 'Dear Summer.'



HODGY BEATS AND JONTI - NAGOYA

Hodgy Beats of Odd Future decided to post this collaboration with South African producer Jonti on his Tumblr. I have to say this is probably my favourite Hodgy Beats song to date and the production is amazing.


WALE FT MIGUEL - LOTUS FLOWER BOMB

Taken from Wale's upcoming album 'Ambition' this track features Miguel on the hook. This is a return to form for me for Wale, think he's sort of gone of track since joining Rick Ross' Mayback Music imprint.

PROFESSOR GREEN - DPMO

Track taken from Pro Green's upcoming sophomore album 'At Your Inconvenience.' Another solid track from Pro, they just keep coming. I'm looking forward to the album. Sorry this ones another radio rip so the quality again is not the best.


MAXSTA FT L - SPIT FIRE

New single from the best up and coming rapper East London has to offer titled 'Spit Fire.' Maxsta was the first artist to be signed to SB.TV creator Jamal Edwards record label 'Just Jam Records.' The track features L who sang the hook on Wretch 32's smash 'Traktor.'It's a radio rip so the quality isn't the best.

TUESDAY THROWBACKS

So I've just realized the past two Sunday's have been missing the 'Sunday Classics' series, therefore I'm gonna give you two of my favorite classic cuts today. First up we have DJ Premier's 'Classic' featuring Kanye, Rakim, KRS One and Nas. Not only is the production on this on point but the line up of artists is literally 'Classic.'



The second track I have chosen is 'You Got Me' by the Roots featuring Erykah Badu, a real old school Hip Hop / R & B Jam.

TYGA FT DRAKE - STILL GOT IT

New track from Tyga titled 'Still Got It.' The track samples Drake's song of the same name on the hook. Sorry about the quality as its a radio rip.


BOOGZ BOOGETZ FT PRODIGY - SUPREME FLOW (PRODUCED BY SKREAM)

9TH WONDER FT WARREN G, MURS AND KENDRICK LAMAR

Track taken of 9th's upcoming 'Wonder Years' EP. As usual tight production from 9th and an incredible line up of features, for me Kendrick Lamar is top of the class when it comes to the new guys.

XV - WHEN WE'RE DONE

New visuals for one of XV's mixtape track 'When We're Done.' I am pretty sure that the song features the same sample used in Devlin's 'London City' taken from Kingdom of Hearts. Check it out below.

J. COLE - DADDYS LITTLE GIRL

New track and video taken of J. Cole's 'Cole World' album which is out today. I can't wait to listen to the whole album, been waiting a long time for it.
