Martin $ky: "Polaroid"
Producer Knxledge flips some lo-fi 12 inch samples and Martin $ky spits some cosmic poetry, together they create a snapshot that will be one of many on the upcoming Time(less) Tape. Martin even took the time to create his own single art, if you enjoy this check out more on his twitter.

Joey Purp: "Don't Stop"
Savemoney representative Joey Purp kicks some knowledge that can only be learned in the windy streets of the Chi. I’m feeling the fact that Young Purp’s aggressive delivery is balanced by boom bap breaks, a grainy woodwind sample and keyboard accents that scream ’77. Listen to the latest street report below.
King L: "Where My Bitches At" (Prod. by DGainz)
I think Mike Epps expressed this age old question best in the movie How High..say it together "WHEREMYBITCHES?" Now peep King L -who has been on a tear as of late- join forces with the Drill renascence man DGainz on his latest installment of #MarchMadness.
Vic Mensa: "Innanet Freestyle"
Vic Mensa recently flexed his freestyle abilities along side Asher Roth and Chuck English during a Bootleg Kev interview. Today we get a snippet of another freestyle over dial-up internet tones of the information super highway era. It's also a small taste of what to expect on his upcoming INNANET Tape, which is slated to drop this weekend.
[Video] A$AP Ferg: "I Fucked Yo Bitch" (Live At SXSW)
This year SXSW had an unprecedented amount of major artists, more than had ever been previously seen. Even with more mainstream pub and major acts you'd still be hard pressed to find a more energetic show then this one at the Thrasher Magazine showcase. Watch Ferg get gully below.
Shlohmo: "Bo Peep" (feat. Jeremih)
This is a rare collab made in Arthouse heaven. I'm not sure wether it's on purpose but virtually every Shlohmo joint -original or remix- sounds like it was made by a trap giant on promethazene, and even though this is a bit more pop then most of his tracks it serves as a perfect backdrop for Jeremih to spit his falsetto game over. Check it out below.
King Britt: "Boiler Room Mix"
The dance Don of Philadelphia goes by the name of King Britt and he just spun a spacey Hip Hop / Latin/ House mix for London's Boiler Room. I'm hearing MF Doom, Dilla, Tribe, Nas and even a new Alchemist joint! The beat juggling along with an interwoven tapestry of world sounds lace the entire mix together quite nicely. I'm sure you'll agree this is a joint you can just let ride.
