When Shwayze & Cisco get together, they make music with the perfect summertime sound. And even though the season's pretty much over now, that doesn't mean they're slowing down. Off their upcoming Island In The Sun album.

Lil B - I Forgive You [Mixtape]


I know there are many out there interested in this new Based God project, but his music is "not my cup of tea... mainly because I don't like huge pieces of shit in my tea" - Aziz Ansari. Tracklist and download down bottom.

J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story [Tracklist]


Once again, rather then hit us with some new music for this week's installment of Any Given Sunday, Roc Nation's young'n releases the tracklist to his upcoming debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, via his Twitter machine.

Jon Bellion - 1 In A Billion


Jon slows it down a little bit for another track off his upcoming Translations Through Speakers album. The video takes us on a behind the scenes look on some of Mr. Bellion's thoughts on originality, production, and this new track.

Action Bronson - Big, Bad, & Dangerous ft. Smoke DZA (prod. 183rd)


Bronson and DZA get together with 183rd for a street track. If I had to take a guess, I would say this came from some Rolling Stoned recording sessions.

Once upon a time in the small town of Mystic, Connecticut came there were 5 talented musicians.

Between her deep lyrics, outstanding vocals and their ability to mix reggae, dancehall, acoustic, and rock all into one giant blender and come out with the amazing sound of Blue King Brown, they are no doubt a refreshing drink to a thirsty music lover.

Game - Daytona 500 [500 Bars]


Seems like Game didn't think "Uncle Otis" was enough, so he decided to let go of a 21-minute track over Hov and Ye's Watch The Throne track. Just like Game's 400 Bars over "Exhibit C", I'm hoping we get a Skeemix that includes multiple instrumentals so we don't have to listen to the same, redundant beat the whole time.


Sir Michael Rocks (of The Cool Kids) - Cell Dope [Video]


With already two full projects released this year, Mikey Rocks is getting ready to drop a third by the end of the year. The newest one will be called Special Edition Grand Master Deluxe and "Cell Dope" serves as the first single from that project.
