J. Cole – Any Given Sunday v. 1 (FreEP)

I can't wait to check this out. I didn't know this was dropping. I guess I'm a poor blogger. Oh well.
Download HERE.

Drake - Headlines

It's aite...

Diggy - Copy, Paste (Video)


It's not horrible... I mean, ya'll gotta remember he's like 8 or something. lol Seriously, I kinda like it. Flow is on point, beat is rather generic, but it's still dope though. HOLD UP! Full blown choreography in a hip-hop video? Check the youngin' out!

Joe – Gone Away f. Pharrell (prod. Neptunes)

This is so smooth. This joint sounds like that good ol' Neptunes sound we fell in love with back in the day.

JLan - Saturday Session 2 (ft. Jackson)

Don't look at me like that! It's still Saturday in on the west coast. lol Tonight is a release of a track from Jackson that I produced, sampling Kanye West's 'Heartless'. I hope y'all enjoy it.

Skyzoo - Boat Check In (Otis Freestyle) [The Penny Freestyle Series, Pt 1]


It's not fair! Skyzoo has NEVER dropped a bad verse. It's not in him. 
In the spirit of lyrical exercise, I figured i’d start a chain of freestyle releases entitled “The Penny Freestyle Series”. As a kid, Penny Hardaway was my favorite basketball player, hands down. Labeled the 2nd coming, he took the mid 90′s by storm. We all know if his knees didn’t give out, he’d be listed in the top 50 of all time, hall of fame, the works. So, what happens if Penny’s knees DON’T go out on him? He becomes one of the greatest ever. Hence where I come in at. The first freestyle out the gate, “Boat Check In”, is over Jay-Z & Kanye’s “Otis” instrumental. -Skyzoo

PH – County Of Kings f. Sha Stimuli, Skyzoo, Ruste Juxx & LR Blitzkrieg

I haven't really listened to PH (formally known as Pumpkinhead) but this joint features Skyzoo (one of my favorites, as y'all know) and Ruste Juxx, whom I've been rocking with since seeing him on Freestyle Friday years back (I'm talking 'Free and AJ' years back). I'm still mad he didn't win that battle. Underground hip-hop fans know that this track is a problem.



Actual Proof - Still Hotter Than July (LP)

Yes! This is what I'm talking about. Dope rhymes and production from the Soul Council. Definitely gotta be one of the best releases of the summer. Check it out.
Back cover and download link is after the jump.

Fonzworth Bentley - Bunkin feat. Slim Cutta and Backbone (Video)


Bentley grabs two ATL underground legends for his latest video. This song can be found on his C.O.L.O.U.R.S. tape.

Stalley - Pound (Video)


The MMG member's latest video.

Jackson - I'm On One (Remix) Ft. E-Classe

It's Mr. Gamecock Nation back at it again, this time he has company, E-Classe. On this one, he goes in on the I'm On One track. Y'all keep an eye out, he will make an appearance later this week on the Society.

J Martyr ft. Phyzikal - Stop Rappin

J Martyr and Phyzikal is back with another BANGER. Kentucky stand up. They are representing y'all heavy with this one. ...and yea, they are SCARED!

J.Silva - Call Me By My Name

To continue with the unintentional pop theme I have going, let's introduce a new face to the Society.
J.Silva is a 21 year old singer/songwriter from Chicago, her father is from Mexico and mother is from Puerto Rico. 
She is currently finishing up her album called "Silva not Silver", referring to people mispronouncing her name.  The album has some of Chicago's musical legends such as Violator DJ Naki The Beatman who’s produced for 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Twista, 3LW, Ying Yang Twins and much more.  Rapper AK of the group Do Or Die also Producer Christian Davis who has produced for Day 26 and New Kids On The Block.

Amy Winehouse (September 14, 1983 - July 23, 2011)

It's sad to see such a talent gone at such a young age. It's also sad to see that people are so cold, that she is still the butt of jokes on the day of her death. Amy Winehouse, multiple Grammy Award winner, gone too soon at the age of 27.

JLan - Saturday Session 1


NEW WEEKLY SERIES. There is no real theme to this one. It pretty much sums up a Saturday. Anything goes. One week you may hear pop, then the next week you may hear boom-bap underground hip-hop. I may even debut new and/or unreleased songs that I've produced. I'm gonna start it off with a pop style track. Not really for everybody, to tell the truth, It sounds really Lady Gaga, top 40-ish! LOL

Pusha T x Tyler The Creator - Trouble On My Mind (Video)


To say the least, this has been Tyler's year. New visuals from 'Trouble On My Mind' of course there is MAXIMUM craziness. lol

Jay-Z & Kanye West - Otis

If this is a taste of what the album is gonna be, I might need two copies. DOPE! I mean, sure the lyrics aren't "OH MY GOODNESS that blew my mind" type joint, but it is always good to hear two of hip-hop's BEST in history go back and forth on a track, don't you just love when people actually record songs in the SAME studio.

Rebellious aka Shawt & G: Nanci O Is Hip Hop Interview Pt.2

Nardwuar vs. Mac Miller (Interview)


I usually don't post a lot of interviews and stuff, but Nardwuar is hands down the BEST interviewer, and Mac Miller is a good up-and-coming rapper with cool demeanor.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie

It's here. The new single from a rather legendary band. Their sound is steadily evolving after all these years. STILL AWESOME, though. Once again, I can't embed it. Check it out at Some Kind of Awesome.

Blink 182 - Up All Night

This is the first new release from Blink-182 since 2005. Unfortunately, I can't embed it. Listen HERE.

Me Gusta - Metanoia (Instrumental Tape)

Thanks twitter, I've found yet another DOPE act. Me Gusta is a hip-hop/electronica production duo from San Jose, California. Very smooth, laid back sound. I know I'm probably late with posting this, but I had to spread the word, because I'm on the bandwagon.
Follow them. Like them.

Skyzoo - Test Drive (Video)


I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that hip-hop NEEDS Skyzoo. Dope video.

Charlie Smarts – Low Bottom Me (Mixtape)

Sorry y'all, it's been kinda slow with music lately, and I've been too busy to dig for rare gems. Here is one of those rare gems that kinda jumped up at me. Charlie Smarts is from the North Carolina-based hip-hop collective, Kooley High. Dude is nice, and if you like real hip-hop, you wanna check this out.

The Strokes – Taken For A Fool (Video)


One of my favorite songs from their Angles album now has a video. Nice!

Jhen̩ Aiko РStranger (Video)


I see her as one of the best in the new wave of R&B artists. Her album was DOPE, y'all need to pay attention. 3/3 of today's trinity of beautiful women on the Society.

Beyonc̩ РBest Thing I Never Had (Video)


THE R&B queen. This is nice! 2/3 of today's trinity of beautiful women on the Society.

Sade – Love Is Found


One of the smoothest singers of all time. 1/3 of today's trinity of beautiful women on the Society.

Just got a message on twitter from the homie Pulse Reaction to check this tape out. I'm glad I did, I'm checking it out now. He's rocking over some of those banging 9th Wonder tracks. I can dig this tape. Check it out after the jump or over at his Bandcamp site.

Quell Keith - Does That (Video)

I told y'all that I've been working. This is the latest release from the Mellow Tonin' EP by Quell Keith fully produced by myself. Sorry for the last two weeks lacking on the DrumSampleSynths, but you'll hear plenty on this upcoming album, coming sooner than later.
