Prince Ea Making Smart Cool Again

Broken hearted is what I feel when I think of Hip Hop and its current state today. 20 something teens gassing about how amazing this dude is and that girl is. When I hear their tracks its the same lyrics, same concept, same story, same video, same flashing of cars and money and wealth. Wheres the story? What happened to people giving you their lives on pen and paper? OK Drake has some nice beats, but what the fuck is he talking about? Wheres the message? I live my life through music. Others used to express their life on music and became the greatest.

Jenailution – Flying Lotus

I hope you enjoy this first installment from the modern day genius that is Flying Lotus. A mix between his older more Hip Hop influenced sounds, to his current experimental Electronica that is as hard to explain as it is to produce. My fav collection from him bar none. His older Hip Hop stuff is just amazing! Allot of people wont of heard allot of these I’m sure.

DJ IQ – Christmas Lights [Exclusive]

An Exclusive mix from my boy DJ IQ for this festive season, Christmas Lights. Its all the cuts that didn’t make the final version of Flashing Lights CD you can nab here or watch the ad for it which we posted a few weeks back. Its well worth the purchase just like this mix is well worth the download! Don’t expect any jingling bells or Ho Ho Ho’s, but do expect some Hudson Mohawke, Ludacris, Starky and much more. A perfect blend of Electronica, Hip Hop and abstract beats you will love but won’t be able to categorize which is exactly why this is our official Christmas present to you all.

DJ Cable x Rock The Dub – Fuck Thugstep! Vol 1

Ego Thieves teamed up with our boy DJ Cable (click for his other mixes) and Rock The Dub to bring you something new and forever controversial. Thugstep is real, its here to stay and it can Fuck Right Off! With Dubstep/Grime/Hip Hop hybrid exclusives from the likes of Boy Better Know, Tempa T, Inja, Skinny Man, Dem Franchise Boyz and exclusive DJ Nappy refixes this is another must download. Dare to try something different. If you like your bass hard and your lyrics gully then look no further. Next year I’m sure there will be some more hybrid tunes to hit the scene, whether you love it or hate it there’s nothing you can do to escape it. This isn’t about Dubstep, its about getting nasty in the club.
