The UK’s DJ Madhandz recently dropped this dope mix to his Mixcloud page. This is the first mix he’s uploaded without vinyl, all done using Trakor all mixed by Madhandz with no synch or any of that bs just by ear and the way it should be done.
With just over 40mins of solid underground bangers that he like’s and we’re sure you will dig too with a few skratch interludes and non complex beat juggles thrown in for good measure also. You can download the mix for FREE here http://www.mediafire.com/listen/vg6bb…
Atlanta duo, ILLClinton comes with a pivotal new release entitled “Alive (Don’t Shoot!)” , following the recent murder of Mike Brown, an unarmed teenager who received no form of justice as his life was taken by an irresponsible police officer.
The powerful track was recorded some time before the incident, but the impact of this, yet another unnecessary death in US communities made the song necessary to spread awareness. The killing of our youth, whether it be from street violence or police brutality needs to come to an end. “I pray all of my n**gas live long for a million moons and don’t end up one of them damn statistics on the evening news,” Brennan vents over the righteous Blake Belair instrumental. Take a listen.
Watts, LA emcee Rayclev releases a new joint to rock with while he preps his upcoming projects. The Divine Atoms Tribe emcee links up with Polish producer Kogutt for “The Presence Of Mind”. RayClev flexes a bit of his lyrical prowess over this smooth heavy drum patterned cut.
“The Fray” is an international track that features German singer Devize, US rapper Praverb and Belgian hip-hop duo Aral & Sauze.
Praverb said about the track “Devize and I have been working on material for years. Recently we connected on the 2012 song “Temporary Home”. Devize is one of the most talented artists that I have worked with. His voice is gold!”
“I sat on this song for a few months and I decided to contact Aral & Sauze after listening to singles from their latest album Connection. I noticed that they had tracks with Dj Revolution, Evidence, Royce Da 5’9”, Dwele and countless others. This piqued my interest even though I did not understand a word they were saying. I employed that “First local, then Global” mindset.”
The track was internationally premiered via our homies at HHK last week http://www.hip-hopkings.com/2014/08/devize-ft-praverb-aral-and-sauze-the-fray/

London Alt-Hip Hop duo Subculture Sage recently released the stream of their new single ‘1=1=1’, set for release on August 25th via Twisted Hearts Records.
The duo have also confirmed they will be joining Hip Hop legends Dead Prez on their UK tour this October. This includes 4 dates around the country concluding at London’s Jazz Café.
‘1=1=1’ is a laid back track featuring hypnotic beats and mello poetic vocals. Infused with jazz and eastern elements, the track unfolds in hazy layers of chemically induced sounds and sees the UK Hip Hop duo dig deep and strive for a sense of spirituality rarely seen within the genre.
The next single off The Other Guys’ latest album ‘Seeds of Ambition’ is the addictively catchy “15 Cents”. As the hook goes, ‘I’m tryin’a make a dollar outta 15 cents. I’m tryin’a make a dime so I can pay my rent.’ “15 Cents” keeps things simple with realism and the struggles of everyday life. No Bentleys or Beamers over here! Throw a couple of dollars this way and cop the new album today.
‘Seeds of Ambition’ is available now on HiPNOTT Records. Grab the album at iTunes (mp3) and UGHH (Compact Disc) and stream the album in its entirety on Bandcamp and DJBooth.
