A Brand new song just released from Cudi. It features a rendition of, “I see pretty girls everywhere I go” and is another great addition to the already wonderful tracklist off of ‘Indicud’. The full album is being released April 23rd and is now open for pre-orders. Don’t miss it!

Rapper Kyle Lucas has been around for a few years now and is continuously getting closer to realizing his dreams. But this song is great because it depicts his life and the life of all up and coming broke and hard-working hip-hop artists. He discusses signing bad contracts and basically living off of nothing, but still having fun pursuing his dreams for the fans. It’s an upbeat song and has good lyrical depth especially considering the purpose of the song. Kyle was in a group called ‘Vonnegutt’ and also does his own solo side mixtapes. His next tape, It’s Always Sunny in Marietta 2, the free album, comes out 4/10/13. Check out his third single off the project and connect with him on Twitter and Facebook

Brand new banger from Tech N9ne ft. T-Pain! This is the first full song released from Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne’s next album, ‘Something Else’ being released Summer 2013. June 25th, to be exact. This song is classic N9ne, he has impeccable flow and a beat you can’t help but to nod your head and move along with. His record label, Strange Music, just released a mixtape for FREE download called the ‘Strange Music Independent Powerhouse 2013 Sampler’. In all honesty it is one of the most genius marketing plans that I have ever seen. It contains 2 or more songs from every artist signed to the Strange Music label. These songs are all contained within larger projects being released by their respective artists at some point this year. It contains music from the likes of: Ces Cru, Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Wrekonize, Prozak, Stevie Stone, etc.
‘Something Else’ – Deluxe Edition
It is such a great way to expose other talent on the label and gives people a taste of what is to come, without spoiling the full album. Plus, it’s free…Much of the songs are just two minute samples of the songs which creates a sense of urgency for the final products which is great. The song B.I.T.C.H. (Breaking In To Colored Houses) is the full song that Tech released on the Sampler tape and it features T-Pain on the chorus and it bears strong resemblance to F**k Food ft. T-Pain off of, ‘All 6’s and 7’s’ (Tech N9ne’s last full studio album) in the feel that it gives off. A chorus that you can (And will) sing along with after you know the words. Check out this song and all the others off the sampler tape and watch out for Strange Music in 2013!

The Hip-Hop duo known as OCD from Philly, is now a good amount of mixtapes into their music career. Their newest effort, ‘Back To The Basement‘ is one of their best offerings yet. This 15-track tape spans a wide variety of sounds and the duo has proved that they are equipped to sing the hooks, rap the verses, make party songs and then calm things down and actually speak on some emotional subject matter. TyTyAmerica, DK, 6ix, and Teddy Roxpin all have a hand in the production of songs on this great tape. The beats on here are so diverse, from pianos and synths to hard-strummed guitars in songs like, ‘This High’ which is one of my favorites off the whole tape. Lyrically much of the tape holds strong against other up-and-coming rappers which is why it is unfortunate that some of the tracks on the tape fall short, in my opinion. One of the songs, ‘Hipster Party’ specifically, I felt had started off with a very intriguing beat but progressed and never maximized its potential. To me that song fell under the influence of the ‘2-Chainz syndrome’ (A hard beat but not much else going on…) Overall, my favorite tracks were, ‘This High’, ‘Lights On’, Top Of The World’, ‘P.A.B.S.’ and ‘Break It Down’. These 5 tracks alone I felt encompass the vibe of most of the mixtape. One of the most solid releases so far this year, check it out!
FINAL RATING: 8/10
