Reign Gretzky – I Made The Beat EP
Reign Gretzky drops off a 3 piece to celebrate his birthday. I made the beat is self produced (obviously) and features three experimental and different sounding beats, flow and production styles.

Dy Krazy – Dy Went Krazy (Mixtape)
This tape has been getting too much buzz to ignore. Chicago producer Dy Krazy named his new drop ‘Dy Went Krazy’ and in all honesty — he backed it up. Dy has been going krazy for a while now as part of 808 Mafia and has some smash hits under his belt already. I love…
