Lil Chris f/ Icy Duck – Can’t Compain
Chris has been working like crazy as of late, and today gives us a brand new joint alongside Lawless Inc. signee, Icy Duck. One thing we can’t complain about? New Chris music. This is from his new album, Made It Through The Struggle, hosted by DJ MoonDawg, due out later this year.

A-Villa f/ Action Bronson, Roc Marciano & Willie The Kid – Live From The Villa
I’m not sure where A-Villa is rounding up these line ups, but cot damn. He’s got some high profile features from artists you’d probably never hear together otherwise. But he somehow makes them sound dope. I think he’s just picking names of out a hat and then seeing if he can make them come together…

Video: Saba f/ Eryn Allen Kane – Burnout
Directed by HOTC TV Finally, my favorite track from Saba’s stellar project, ComfortZone, gets a video. The video is absolutely fantastic, and features the super-dope Eryn Allen Kanye on the hook. This is like the 2014 rap version of Pee Wee’s Playhouse. Unfortunately, I think both artists might be too young to get that reference….
SolarFive – Wavy5
SolarFive keeps the five alive with his latest release, “Wavy5,” produced by the OnGaud faction. This slow burner deals with the public perception of the dope dealer lifestyle. Still got five on it?
