[Mixtape] Joey Bada$$: "Summer Knights"
Joey Bada$$ brings us his latest opus in "Summer Knights", available for download below. Production by Chuck Strangers, Statik Selektah, Alchemist, DJ Premiere and appearances by other Pro Era members round up this project pretty nicely. If you're a fan of Joey, this is the perfect 'tape to bump this Summer, enjoy!
[RH Premiere] #100Trill: "Aye Bitch" (feat. Truth G)
Over the weekend, Grade Aplus tweeted, "We got the most ignant shit for [you] to ride to work to on Monday..." He said it, not me: this new #100Trill track, "Aye Bitch," embraces the "ignance" right from the beginning of the song with MikeJaxx setting the tone with the first bar of "Aye bitch, that pussy goooood." Grade and Jaxx, joined by Truth G, are very obviously having fun, which has been a common theme throughout each of the #100Trill songs that have been released thus far ("'93" and "Chain Clean"). There's a time and place for everything, as both Grade and Jaxx have shown with their previous work, and #100Trill shows that there is time to just cut loose and be ignant.

PIVOT Gang: "Daddy's Home"
For a long time Chicago's west-side had been lacking proper representation in the Hip Hop scene, but in the past two years has seen a lot of talent starting to rise with young up-and-comers such as Dally Auston, Lucki Eck$ & Pivot Gang. The latter is wrapping up the final details on their compilation 'tape due out later this Summer and "Daddy's Home" is their first single, in which Saba, John Walt, and MFnMelo rock over production by Saba and showcase their unique sound.
[Video] Caleb James: "I'm Gone"
Last time they checked in Caleb James & Davy Greenberg where making moves out in L.A., that's is probably the place where they shot this cool new video for the track "I'm Gone" off Caleb's The Jones project. This visual wraps up yet another impressive week by SaveMoney and the crew is present here also through logos, rhymes and tatoos. Peep below alongside the flyer for his upcoming show at Reggie's on July 19th.

Probcause: "High Altitude" (feat. Martin $ky)
Probcause has enlisted various Chicago artists for his upcoming 'tape, The Recipe, and for his latest single he unveiled a dope collaboration with the homie Martin $ky entitled "High Altitude". Their two styles seem odd being mashed-up together only on paper as they adapt to each other quite nice and bring to life an organic track, which you can stream below.
Gzus Piece: "SummerSlam"
It's been minute since we last shed the spotlight on Treated Crew's Gzus Piece, but today he's back with a new record he collaborated with Doc Da Mindbenda. The record is a smooth ode to the hot weather months, so it was only natural to call it "SummerSlam" and it should definitely be played in every cookout you attend for the next two months.
Black Matt: "Don't Blow My High" (feat. Kami de Chukwu)
While we've heard from Kami de Chukwu recently, he's come back for more, this time with my LOD brother Black Matt at the wheel. The two collaborated together for this new new, "Don't Blow My High." Matt comes out of the gates with high energy in his rapid-fire delivery while Kami slows the tempo for a moment; trust me, it's only for a moment.
I'm definitely looking forward to hearing some more Black Matt music, man. We're LOD, spread some good stuff my way!
