RYOE – THE CREATION OF ADAM
I saw this dope two wholecar set scrolling through my instagram feed and it really caught my eye. I tracked down RYOE to ask him the thought process behind it, and what his motivations were behind knocking out 2 wholecars with this theme. Well, to be honest, the whole idea spawned off of a joke with my boy hiroe while driving home one night after a mission. At the time it was one of those ideas that we laughed about but, who’s really taking it that seriously and there it sat… A couple months went by and I went to paint at basel with my boys from aub. That year we went pretty deep and the walls we had lined up were not big enough for everyone to do their names on so we just did crew work, and within that structure, I wanted to work on my character development so that was my role..

Antwon – In Dark Denim
San Jose’s own Antwon just dropped his newest mixtape – In Dark Denim (free download).
My favorite cut has to be the title track, with production from Froskees that sounds like someone’s playing post-trap through a clock radio speaker. Hit the link above, or check the tunes below.
Nacho Picasso – Dean Martin / Rat Race

QUALMES – ODE TO LOVERS ROCK
Qualmes just dropped the first video for Ode to Lovers Rock off his forthcoming album InternationalSouthernDopeTunes. As expected by the title, it’s smooth summer tune to sip somethin and chill with a female to.
The video is produced by Eric Heights, who’s teamed up Qualmes before on past videos Sacrifices and Love Drunk. InternationalSouthernDopeTunes drops later this month – so keep an eye out for it.
BAD LOOKS – LO DEF EP – FREE DOWNLOAD
|
The homies from BAD LOOKS just released a free, 3 track electronic banger available on soundcloud, and as a FREE mediafire download. The LO DEF EP starts out with a track of the same name, which samples Shai’s “If I ever fall in love”. The twist here is that the tune is a menacing bass creeper, complete with throwback breaks that fit the track’s contrasting styles perfectly. Following the same vein, track two (Dinosaur) samples the oldschool chants out of “Walk the Dinosaur” and fuses em with updated breaks and 90s hoover stabs which sound perfectly meshed. My favorite has to be track 3 though, which is just a nasty lazerbass slammer, perfect to jam at high volumes in your whip this summer. |
