If you’re looking for some good, new R&B music, look no further than Westcoast and OpM’s very own Zeke who recently dropped his new project, 2090. You might remember Zeke from the couple appearances he made on the Young Nation: Volume 1 mixtape. “Talk About It”, a track that appeared on Young Nation that features Dom Kennedy also makes an appearance on 2090. The tape is real smooth and is great to let ride out on chill days. Take a listen to the new tape below.

Up and coming rappers will definitely enjoy this because now they can drop their own raps on these new beats and fans will love to vibe out and smoke to this. You can stream/download the project after the jump. (more…)
Yesterday was one of the best days in music with new release coming from Chance The Rapper, J. Cole, and a lot more. One that seem to slip past our radar (and I don’t know why) was Scott ATL’s brand new mixtape, F.A.I.T.H., which stands for Forever Atlanta In The Heart. The whole project is produced by DJ Burn One who also resides in Atlanta. Guest features come from fellow Atlanta artists Trinidad Jame$ and Curtis Williams, Le$, Big K.R.I.T. and much more. Stream/download the tape below.

This is what you’ve all been waiting for…the follow up project to Chance The Rapper’s amazing debut release, 10 Day, is finally here and available for the masses. Chicago has exploded onto the scene in the last year due to Chief Keef’s popularity but that didn’t come without criticism especially given the content and message of his music. Unlike Keef, Chance’s music doesn’t follow that same route. Besides being inspired by acid jazz last summer, Chance stated that he was on acid for most of the sessions during the recording process hence why this project is called what it is. Don’t sleep on Chance. This is definitely on track to be one of the best releases of 2013.

Even though he dropped Electric Highway in January to start off the new year, Rockie Fresh wanted to celebrate his birthday correctly with his fans by giving us another brand new tape to bump to in The Birthday Tape. I wouldn’t call this a full length mixtape but more of an EP. The Chicago artist grabbed guest features from Rick Ross & Gunplay. On the production side, he gets help from Lunice, Dot Da Genius & more. Stream/download link provided below.
