Download: Childish Gambino - "Gangsta Grillz Presents: STN MTN"

New mixtape by Gambino, hosted by DJ Drama, titled "STN MTN". It's short for Stone Mountain, where he was raised in Georgia. Put all that together and you get the idea of what this mixtape sounds like. Go check it out and then keep an eye out for that Kauai EP he'll be releasing.

“The Gangsta Grillz mixtape is sort of like — it’s a dream. And the dream ends when I wake up in Kauai. And they go into each other — it’s one complete project. You can download the mixtape, and you can go buy the EP. The money from the EP goes to help with keeping Kauai clean, and also helps with getting audio and visual device for cops policy.” says Gambino.

Devine Carama - "Priory Of The Rhyme Pocket" (Prod. by Enter The Cosmos)

Check out Devine's latest joint from his upcoming "Believing In Forever" album.

Devine Carama's Thoughts:

"I wanted to kind of put rappers on notice with this jawn. My first 2 singles had more of a musical purpose and direction, but I know my core fan base enjoys it when I just RAP. So this record is for them to let them know there will be plenty of that on the album as well. It's also frustrating hearing rappers get older and/or lazy and start falling out of the rhyme pocket. I just feel staying in pocket is a huge element of rhyming. So I tried different flows within the pocket."

What I'm Watching: P.So The Earth Tone King - "She Don't" feat. 8thw1

She don't like Hip-Hop?! I don't know how you do it, P.So. I don't think I could do it. Haha. I like this. This video is pretty cool. Great job to Anwar, KO, and P.So on this one here.

"She Don't" off his latest album, Gateway to Greatness/ Constellations. The track, originally released last year, reunites P.SO with his AOK Collective fam 8thW1 over a jazzy hip hop beat produced by KO Beatz. Illustrated and directed by Anwar Morse, "She Don't" is the perfect video accompaniment to this awesome track. For more amazing animation, check out P.SO and Anwar's Gateway To Greatness: The Comic!

What I'm Watching: Diamond District (yU, Oddisee, Uptown XO) - "First Step"

Diamond District is back with the visuals to their first and dope out the gate single to the album "March On Washington". This album is going to be bananas.

DC's Holy Trinity is back with their first visuals from the new album "March On Washington." yU, Oddisee & Uptown XO enlist director Jay Brown for the visual narrative on "First Step." Starting with XO we see the DC emcee light up the opening verse putting spirit back in the music before passing the torch on to his brethren. yU then spits cold bars with the linguistic dexterity of a seasoned veteran, all the while casually grinding an African chew stick. Meanwhile, the video lays out the metaphor of three emcees on separate paths coming together to form one group. In the last scene the track's producer and final lyricist, Oddisee, takes the helm of his ship: "Man, it's just the way it go, if I want it, say it so." Get ready for the new album coming October 14th.

What I'm Watching: Jazz Spastiks - "Dumb!" featuring Yesh

Nod ya head. Get dumb! Check out the latest visuals from Jazz Spastiks featuring Yesh. This joint is extra chill and gives me a late 90s nostalgic feel to it due to the music and the Sifl and Olly type characters. Haha.

Jazz Spastiks' latest single Dumb! is brought to life by sock puppets in this brand new head nodding video. The beats remain tough even though the musical equipment is made from multicoloured felt! Dumb Remix is featured on 'The Product - Remixes' Album dropping very soon on CD, Digital and Limited Edition 12" Vinyl. Dumb! is taken from the highly acclaimed Jazz Spastiks album 'The Product' available now!

Allen Poe - "Shrines From Dust" (Prod. by Amerigo Gazaway)

Poe's 3rd Single from his next record "How Gardens Grow" due to release in October. Should be a pretty good project. I'm definitely anticipating adding it to my rotation.

"This goes to MCs who didn't hop in and out of 'rap'. Holding Hip-Hop in a higher regard, allowed them to ride out the highs and lows of creating, respecting it as a craft helped them to build something from very little." - Allen Poe

How Gardens Grow will release mid October, more details on the release coming soon. S/O Amerigo Gazaway on the production and PJ Katz on the mix/master.

Diamond District (yU, Oddisee, Uptown XO) - "Lost Cause"
