Holy Ghost! - Do It Again

Holy Ghost! is a duo from New York City who have a really incredible sound that is very unique.  "Do it Again" was their first track I heard--it's a great song, I love it at 2:44 when the trumpet comes in.  I really enjoy the vocals on their tracks.. that being said, "Say My Name" is another awesome track off their new EP that comes highly recommended.  Enjoy the tunes.

Realboy - The Ritz

I really enjoy this track and think you might too.  It's a cool song, it samples some swing song from the forties and the piano in this track is tight too... things get a little rowdy around 3:00.  check him out over at realboymusic.


Download: The Ritz - Realboy


**Bonus**
Speaking of old songs, check out this dope track from 1970.

Shot Yourself In The Foot Again - Skream & Example

Back again with a huge original track, "Shot Yourself in the Foot Again" from Skream & Example.  If you liked Bar9's remix of Example's, "Kickstarts", this might be another banger you enjoy.  It's a dope track, I really enjoy the vocals and it's got some heavy beats as well.  I'm also doing a shweet recap of a bunch of Magnetic Man bangers, just because I really dig them.


Skream killin it.

Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg + Lloyd Banks, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Pusha T & Fabolous

Couple of real tight hip hop tracks for y'all today, I've been giving these tracks lots of rotations the last few weeks.  I'm keepin' this one short, enjoy.


**links removed by request**
Listen: G'd Up - Wiz Khalifa

might be my favorite wiz intro
Download: That Good - Wiz Khalifa & Snoop Dogg
Download: Teach You To Fly - Wiz Khalifa 


Listen: Start It Up ft. Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, Ryan Leslie & Fabolous - Lloyd Banks '

This video calls Pusha T's verse a "lost verse"..  how lost can it be, this live video at a Lloyd Banks concert has Pusha T Swizz and Fab spitting on 'Start It Up', its legit.
Listen: Bang Bang ft. Pharrell & Pusha T - Swizz Beatz

Strange Times (Prod. Brenton Duvall) - Young Prince

If your a fan of Chiddy Bang, then definitely sample this new track from Young Prince and Brenton Duvall, "Strange Times".  The two DC natives work collaborate well on this track, the Chiddy/Xaphoon Jones relationship definitely comes to mind when you hear it.  Young Prince has solid flow and the production from Brenton is top notch, making for a chill feel good rap song.  
Download: Strange Times (Prod. Brenton Duvall) - Young Prince


Let's get the spotlight on Brenton Duvall here real quick.
You might have missed the two tracks I've posted by him because they were on the Study Time & RIP Tupac Shakur playlists, but I've got them and another extra Gucci remix for you in case you missed them, because they are so fire.
Download: Lights (Potomac Boys Club Remix ft. Waka, Wale & Ellie Goulding) - Brenton Duvall
Download: That's All (Brenton Duvall Remix) - Gucci Mane
Download: Against A Mad World (Tupac vs Gary Jules) - Brenton Duvall



I've liked everything I've heard from Brenton Duvall since I heard his Ambien (Sleepy Trip) mash.

Disco-Funk-Dance Playlist [1/2]

Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, I'm still kind of messed up so I'll keep this one short (on words).  This is part one of a two part playlist, and I am confident that these two posts make up one of the most funky ensembles that I have ever made. Believe me when I say, every song on this playlist is straight disco/funk fire.  Check back for part 2 and enjoy the tunes.

Download: Mary Jane - Rick James ッ such a classic.

Look At Me Now (Prod. Afrojack & Diplo) - Chris Brown ft. Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne

Let me just start off and say, this is one of the dopest beats I've heard in while.  Chris Brown released this song on NYE and honestly, this beat is so fucking ill I can't stand that Chris Brown gets to "rap" on it.  As soon as you hear this track, it becomes exceedingly obvious the production comes from Afrojack and Diplo, and they really kill it.  Another thing that is exceeding obvious is that Busta Rhymes can rap extremely fast--credit to Busta and Weezy, they both lay down sick verses as expected on this massive beat.  Enjoy.

Feed Me's Big Adventure

Deadmau5 really has an eye for talent.  Feed Me, another one of Mau5trap's newest signings, dropped his "Feed Me's Big Adventure" Album/EP on Christmas--it's a progressive blend of heavy hitting electro, house and dubstep.  I recommend just buying the EP over on Beatport, because it is just that good.  I hear a lot of Deadmau5 and Skrillex's production style and complexity in his music, which might explain why Feed Me, like Skrillex and Deadmau5 recently, is dominating the Beatport Top 10, currently with 4 of the Top 10 downloads.  check em outt..


Highlight Tracks
Download: Grand Theft Extacy - Feed Me #3 bp - MUST DL
Download: Cloudburn (ft. Tasha Baxter) - Feed Me so high i got cloudburn.. love this
Download: White Spirit - Feed Me #5 bp - filthy electro dance party
Download: Blood Red - Feed Me gotta DL!

Good shit, right Miroki?
