The Cool Kids – Clicking (Gymkhana THREE) (DC Skate Video)
Some unexpected new music from those Cool Kids. Look’s like the duo has teamed up with DC Skate founder Ken Block and his team to create an original track for their “Gymkhana video series.” The track is called “Clicking (Gymkhana THREE)” and is written and produced by Mike and Chuck. I’ll will be sure to post an mp3 as soon as it’s available.
Incredible visuals…and this is just part 1.
Shouts to my dude Schwaller for the heads up!
More info about the video after the jump.
Sir Michael Rocks – Foreign Features (Video)
Incredibly gritty new video for Mickey Rocks (1/2 of The Cool Kids) shot by Mike Carson and Mike Waxx of illRoots.com. Not sure what project this is off but damn is it addicting. I need an mp3 of this ASAP. Video is very well done.
Produced by The Produktionix.

Black EL – 6 Leaks + Color Commentary Artwork X Tracklist
- Black EL – 100 Miles (prod. Durkin)
- Black EL – The Ride
- Black EL – Hi(GH)
- Black EL – Clockwise
- Black EL – Rush
- Black EL – MILF & Cookies
I realize posting 5 leaks upfront is kind of random but each and one of these are terrific on their own. Black EL is an outta nowhere MC that I’ve definitely been keeping my eye on. I’ve bit a bit absence and I didn’t wanna miss one track that he dropped.
Black will be releasing his album Color Commentary on August 31st. Production from Durkin – who kills it too. I’ll be sure to post it up when it drops.
Trust me don’t skip this one.
Shouts to Jeremy who is killing it on that manager game yo!
Kristoff Krane – Work ft. Slug
Kristoff Krane – Work ft. Slug
Kristoff Krane has been killing it in the Twin Cities for years. I’ve had a few Kristoff stickers end up in my pocket over the last few Soundsets. KK dropped his first solo album in 2008 but has dropped two albums here in 2010.
This track is solid enough on it’s own but a guest verse from Slug makes it even stronger.
Picking Flowers Next To Roadkill and Hunting For Father are available now.
Kanye West – Power (REMIX) ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz
Kanye West – Power (REMIX) ft. Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz
I realize this has been out awhile but this is me just catching up. Yeezy really goes in when they flip the sample. It kind of sounds like these dudes were just goofin around in the studio…but the final result still has a lot of power.
Props Fake Shore Drive.
Exile – Population Control (Samiyam Remix)
Exile – Population Control (Samiyam Remix)
Exile has grown to be one of my favorite producers within the last couple years. His enthusiasm for sampling radio only fuels the fire for a college radio DJ like myself. This artwork is incredible too.
Off Exile’s AM/FM dropping August 31st.
Lazlo Supreme – Feather Lighter (Video)
Didn’t know about this 3-piece hip-hop group until I stumbled upon this video over at Midwest Broadcast. Gotta say I get down with it. If y’all see this, send me more music soon!
Shawn Chrystopher – Catch Me If You Can
Shawn Chrystopher – Catch Me If You Can | iTunes
I’ve played this on Chicken and Waffles last night and it definitely goes in. Shawn Chrys steps his game up each and every time. Although I view this artist’s future to be a little unsteady, this one definitely gets it done.
Off his upcoming project You, And Only You.
Diggy – Oh Yeah ft. Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell
Diggy – Oh Yeah ft. Lupe Fiasco & Pharrell
Just dropped some Lupe below but how about a little more? Skateboard P dropping actual lines? I love when Pharrell raps.
Are these two spitting on this track the ultimate co-sign? Diggy doin’ it big. His next project Airbourne should be dropping real soon.
Lupe Fiasco – Go To Sleep
Lupe Fiasco – Go To Sleep (DIRTY) + Lupe Fiasco – Go To Sleep (CLEAN
Man, it’s good to hear some new Lupe Fiasco. This one brings it back, some real Lupe. Off Lupe’s upcoming album Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album.

Status Reign – Tonight
This is one of those tracks that definetly has grown on me. That combined with my lack of posting as of late results in me posting this now. Part of the Background Noise Crew, this aspiring MC has been getting his name as of late. This one will be off his upcoming record Brutally Honest.
Lipset – Distortion
I’m a few days late on this one. Charming new music from Twin Cities very own Lipset. Check the vid up top as various folks from the Twin Cities hip-hop scene talk about the dopeness that Lipset brings to the table. Agreed!
Mally I see you!
Shouts to Lip.
Bun B – Trillionaire ft. T-Pain (Video)
Visual’s off Bun’s “5-Mic” Trill O.G. I mess with this track.
Freddie Gibbs – Something New ft. YP

Bighomie DOE – For My City (Prod. by Troy P)
The homie DOE reps all sides of our city on this brand new joint off his upcoming Everything Or Nothing EP. No release date yet but expect it to be dropping sooner than later.
WHA-WHA-WHA-WHADDUP.
I also threw this up at Fake Shore Drive. Shouts to DOE and the whole Stay Humble ENT. family.
Boogy & Phlyy B – Nightmares
These two have something serious up their sleeves. Their collab mixtape Rocket Science coming soon. Both of these cats will be making noise all over Chicago soon enough. Global domination comes soon after.

I’m a few days late on this one but hot damn yet another sign of Kanye’s return to global domination. Produced by Kanye West, No I.D. and Lex Luger.
Good Ass Job Dark Twisted Fantasy is set to drop November 16th.
Sidenote: Kanye was in the studio last night with Mos Def, Swizz Beatz and Kobe Bryant. Power REMIX featuring Jay-Z is on the way too.
J. Cole – Blow Up
Produced and written by the man himself. Do you understand how exciting it is that we are witness history in the making? J. Cole is killing the game right now. This track doesn’t have a home yet but surely he is working on his debut album.
Did I mention he killed his Lollapalooza set?
Got this one from J himself…no lie. Shouts to the grassroots campaign approach. Link from iR2.

Mac Miller – K.I.D.S. (Mixtape)
This kid has gotten more buzz in the past week than anyone. I totally understand, a refreshing new mixtape from this stoned out Pittsburgh emcee who recently signed to Rostum Records. I love the movement this kid has going on right now. Rappers take notes. Check out the video “Don’t Mind If I Do” below – a stand out track from the tape that samples Owl City. Video is fresh too – classic by the pool summer party feel.
Get used to Mac Miller, I have a feeling we will be hearing his name for quite some time.
Atmosphere – To All My Friends
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in D:\Domains\haochen.me\wwwroot\tumblr\index.php on line 109
I first heard this track at Soundset and then again at Atmosphere’s Taste of Minnesota show.They dropped this one in anticipation of their upcoming tour – full list of dates can be found here. I’ll be at the Chicago show.
I love it.
