[Video] Flying Lotus - Phantasm ft Laura Darlington

Track sixteen from Fly Lo's 2012 album Until the Quiet Comes gets the visual treatment from director Markus Hofko who crafts a video just as unique and odd as its creator.

Vic Mensa - Down On My Luck

For his international single "Down On My Luck" Vic Mensa transcends his Chicago roots and goes for a sound most commonly heard in clubs over in the United Kingdom. Although it's a little different then what you've come to expect from Chicago rappers, if you're a fan of Mensa this should have be no surprise for you. This could potentially be a breakthrough single for Vic especially overseas where this sound is more widely accepted. I'm sure Chance is jealous...

Vic Mensa's INNANET TAPE is available now.  

[Beat Tape] Louseph Bruise Em' - STUCKinTheSeven

Louseph Bruise Em' aka Latin Lou aka Young Lou is back with a all new beat tape entitled STUCKinTheSeven around twenty minutes long and apparently made all while stuck in a basement. Lou proved he has the ability to create excellent production in no time back when he collaborated with SIR E.U on HÜLAGÜSH (which was made in less then 24 hours) and this project further cements that. Featuring only instrumentals, aside from a few drops from the immaculate Dookie Armstrong, 50 Cal. and a preview of a song from his upcoming project Give Me Happy. From random DJ Paul vocal samples (great song choice Lou) to what I believe has to be the song that plays in Heaven's elevator right around the twelve minute mark and those unorthodox sound patterns that we've come to expect from Lou it's all here stuck in the seven right along with Lou. To wrap this up, in what has since become a tradition, as I always say good shit Lou and I hope you make it out that basement my friend...you deserve it.

20syl x Kendrick Lamar - Sing That Shit

French producer 20syl takes Kendrick Lamar's excellent verse from Game's "The City" backs it with some original production from himself to create "Sing That Shit", a pretty interesting combination to say the least. 

[Submission] Timmie - Aura

Arkansas producer Timmie recently dropped his album Aura and while short in duration it is an enjoyable listen. Aura's best quality is the trance like state you fall into listening to it, all eight tracks really flowed cohesively together. Credit to Timmie for that. I normally don't enjoy purely instrumental albums but this one is really nice.
