Perhaps the best MC at this point in time, Elzhi, just dropped his highly anticipated “Elmatic” project which is of course a tribute to one the best MC’s of my time..Nas. Usually I hate tribute projects, because 99 times out of 100 they’re just wack and add nothing to the original. When I heard “Detroit State of Mind” I was just blown away. Not only does Elzhi add his own twist lyrically. Production-wise The Will Sessions Band also adds their own kinda flavor to the project which makes it extra nice in my opinion. I suggest you treat your ears to some lyrical niceness and download the FREE mixtape over at XXLmag (low bitrate) or in 320 quality HERE.

London’s vocalist Stac returns with fifteen remixes on her new “Turn That Light Out: The Remixes/Vol. Two” album. Honestly I’m not feeling this remix album at all accept for Kidkanevil‘s remix that is. Might just be a London thing I’m not supposed to get or something. Anyways..didn’t want to keep this one song from you all, cuz I’m kinda digging her vocals with his production.

One of my favorite Frenchies must be the homie Onra. He just put a brand new demo on his Soundcloud which we’d “L.O.V.E” to share with you. Really wanted to go see Onra, Benji B, Jamie XX, Mark de Clive-Lowe and Lefto play tomorrow at the Demo party in Ghent (Belgium), but I’m afraid we’re not going to make it after all.

Brooklyn native Fresh Daily has just released his “The Quiet Life” album. And yes…it sounds fresh! Being somewhat of a hiphop critic, I’m not one to label an album as dope very easily. Yet Fresh seems to deliver like the milkman does early in the morning. Productions by Mndsgn, Hi-Res, Theory Hazit, The Stuyvesants and many more. Oh and it’s available for FREE over at his Bandcamp page.
