One of the many things we learned from our survey is that quite a few visitors would love more high quality downloads. It’s no coincidence that our DJ buddies have been nagging us about this Slakah The Beatchild song for the past weeks. We hit up Slakah and he decided to give away a DJ pack of “Wanna Do” including an instrumental and acapella version (in WAV format) as a free download. We’re getting ready for “Soul Movements” Vol. 2 to hit the streets this summer.

A couple of days ago Sene released his “Brooklyknight” album on Plug Research. It’s no big surprise where this Brooklyn native is from. The album features Blu, Co$$ and Scienze on the vocal tip and producers such as Fonetik Simbol on production. Make you way towards Plug Reseach’s Soundcloud page to listen to the rest of the album or head on over to to purchase.

Phontigga gets a little help from ma dukes in the official video for “The Life Of Kings”. This one is of the “Charity Starts At Home” album and features Big K.R.I.T., Evidence and 9th Wonder on the beat.

Never heard of Rashad nor Confidence before, but Evil Needle did a nice little ‘golden era’ sounding remix for their “The City” joint. Apparently there’s a remix contest going on as we speak (submissions due April 30th), but more info on that over at 2dopeboyz. Free download of Floran’s remix is available right now, right HERE!

Thought about these Black Spade outtakes while I was listening to the new Hawthorne Headhunters album. I don’t have any additional information about these outtakes from Black Spade’s debut album “To Serve With Love”. So just enjoy this and make sure you buy the new Hawthorne Headhunters album “Myriad Of Now” on .

DJ Soko (on the left) is releasing his debut limited edition 7″ vinyl next week on Mello Music Group and is giving away b-side entitled “Biters” featuring Guilty Simpson as a free download. This one was produced by Gensu Dean and is ready to be snatched over at the Mello Music Bandcamp page.

Most of the songs on the new “Our Nest” Vol. 1 compilation on Earnest Endeavours were already keeping our HD warm and fuzzy. However this is a great ‘name your price’ opportunity to score these. A nice little gathering of artists such as B. Bravo, Darkhouse Fam, J Todd, SelfSays, Shigeto, Kienra and more.

B. Bravo – Swang

Earlier today Eric Lau dropped a preview of the Record Store Day single called “What I’d Rather” on Talamak. It features Oddisee who yet again seems to deliver some extra fresh flows. Go ahead and pre-order the 7″ exclusively at HHV and listen to a short snippet below.

So the second volume of “Worldwide Family” dropped today after having been pushed back. I was in doubt whether or not we should post about this, but the verdict is…yes. Kutmah selected over 20 tracks for you to enjoy, ranging from FlyLo & Samiyam to HudMo & fLako. Overall not the illest compilation on Brownswood, but since I decided I’m flying out to LA again this summer Shash’U’s “LA” convinced me. You can purchase the compilation on in case you were wondering. Shout out to all my fam in LA…imma be out there soon.

Toronto rapper D.O. (aka Defy the Odds) released his debut album, “The Northstarr”, back in 2007. Now there’s a few songs on there with fellow Canadian Slakah The Beatchild and “No Matter What” is definitely a slept on gem. Been bumping this for a few years, but on a Sunday like this one we have to share and care. In case you’re looking to buy some of this, make you way over to .
