If you witnessed Norwegian producer Matoma‘s set at Royal Oak Music Theatre last week, you likely had no trouble bouncing and swaying with the tropical house sounds circulating from the venue’s speakers. There is also a good chance you were in a flowered “Dad” shirt or basketball jersey because that seemed to be the crowd’s […]
The Narkmaster from jayelaudio on 8tracks Radio. Get ready for an oversized mixtape of my favorite hip-hop of the past few months. The heavyweights (Jay-Z, Kanye West, J. Cole) mostly delivered on the hype surrounding their recent releases, but I’m primarily ready to laud the rest of the talent on this edition. Seattle spitter Sol […]
Not exactly new, but over the past three months there has been one song I’ve consistently gone back to in the gym.

Long awaited efforts from k-os and Wale dropped for free and are well worth multiple listens. k-os – The Anchorman Mixtape Wale – More […]
This seems like a bad idea to put this about just before k-os’ The Anchorman Mixtape drops, but this hip-hop/rap collection is overdue already. The old guys like Snoop (“Laid Back”), newly reunited Dipset (“Salute”) and Bun B (“Let’em Know” and “Right Now”) are still kickin’ it. Cam’Ron even got 3 unlikely, but strong features […]
