Logan Cage f/ Stro & Femdot – 3 Man Weave
Produced by Flight On the road to his Still Iconic EP, Logan has been on fire lately (right, nothing new). For the latest drop off that project, Mr. Cage grabs Femdot and New York’s own Stro for some “passin’ the mic to one another just spittin’ hot shit.” Indeed. Check out Logan Cage’s brand newness below.
Supa Bwe – Portage Theater

Saba Covers the Red Eye
Photo by Bryan Allen Lamb After having a creative rough patch and taking a bit of a break in 2015, save for a few amazing features, Saba has made the majority 2016 his. After several high-profile drops on i-D and Apple Music, an appearance with Chance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”, plus a Lollapalooza slot,…
Trapo – Nirvana
Produced by Derrick Thomas Trapo delivers a quick loosie that was apparently made from scratch in a few hours, which is kind of scary. This one isn’t going on Trap’s Shade Trees project, which is set to hit sometime in September. In the meanwhile though, give his new heater a listen after the jump.
Video: Lupe Fiasco – Pick Up the Phone
Lu drops off the video for his latest single, released back in July. Still no word on if this will be on Drogas, or when that’s even coming, but with the 10-year anniversary of his classic debut Food & Liquor, coming up, let’s hope we can expect the drugs to arrive soon.
