The Freshmen - Surf’s Up!

I can’t believe I missed this one! These guys never seem to have a care in their lives, and I absolutely love it. I always keep an eye out for them come June. You can always count on The Freshmen to release at least one bouncy, head-nodding, feel good anthem every summer. It makes you wish summer lasted all year long.

Aer - Floats My Boat

Just take one look at the artwork for this one, and you should have an idea of what to expect. It’s a bunch of silly white folk, trying to thug it out with their croquet mallets, causing you to scratch your head in wonderment, thinking, “Hey, that’s not proper croquet etiquette!” And while these guys have you dumbfounded by the way they mistakenly play your sport of choice, they soon calm you down by distracting you with this amazing summer hip-hop gem.

Skrillex & Nero - Game Over

You know it really is game over when Skrillex and Nero come together to produce a monstrous concoction like this. Just imagine the most badass fight scene you can imagine, and press play. Here, I’ll even help.

Fly.Union - Seen This Before Feat. GLC No summer is complete...

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 22:43:53 -0400

Fly.Union - Seen This Before Feat. GLC

No summer is complete without the release of another Fly.Union Value Pack. Look out for volume 7, dropping tomorrow. It’ll be the chillest album you listen to all summer, guaranteed.

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 22:35:00 -0400

Nas - Accident Murderers (Remix) Feat. Rick Ross & Ryan Leslie

It didn’t take long to get a remix of this track. I figured I’d post this one instead of the original, because R.Les actually drops off a pretty hot verse.

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 22:26:00 -0400

Lupe Fiasco - Bitch Bad

I have a feeling once Lupe Fiasco’s Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album, Part 1 (we need an acronym for that because it’s quite the mouthful) finally drops, Lasers will be considered an experimental afterthought. After listening to this latest single, I think it’s safe to say Lupe’s back.

Iggy Azalea - Million Dollar Misfits Feat. T.I. & B.o.B (prod. Bei Maejor)

Still not sure this whole Iggy Azalea project is working out for TIP, but this track isn’t bad. It definitely helps to get a feature from Grand Hustle running mate, B.o.B.

Wiz Khalifa - Telescope Feat. 50 Cent

Looks like Wiz is trying to revive the careers of all of Dre’s old running mates.

Chiddy Bang - Twisted

It’s hard to believe this track never made it to Chiddy Bang’s latest album, Breakfast, especially considering it’s one of their best songs in awhile. At least we get it in official form on their brand new Mind Your Manners EP, featuring some new remixes of their hit single.

Alesso & Dirty South - City Of Dreams Man, I seriously...

Alesso & Dirty South - City Of Dreams

Man, I seriously can’t wait until the full version of this finally drops. Until then, we’re stuck with this stunning (live?) preview.

Australian’s biggest DJ/producer and Sweden’s youngest and most successful rising talent - teamed up as first time and it was expected that they will form something huge. The track from Alesso & Dirty South was premiered at Creamfields before some weeks and was dropped during the EDC at New York also. It’s a fresh sounding big-room house record combined with noteworthy vocals which incorporated gives the track a distinct perspective, and offering a new sound we don’t usually hear from Dirty South. The collaboration’s latest record will hopefully be out soon, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated with any news we hear. Have a listen!

Krewella - Play Hard

Chicago dubstep collective, Krewella, just released their debut EP, Play Hard, and boy is it a doozy. Now, I don’t usually use that phrase very much (actually I never do), but this situation seemed oddly appropriate. Krewella’s new EP is excellent from start to finish, blending lush female vocals with impressive drops and cutting synths. If you weren’t able to catch them at Spring Awakening this past weekend, make it up to yourself by streaming their EP down below.
