Light Snacks - Curren$y X Can't Stop the Reign - Shaq ft. Biggie Smalls




Well this is just awesome.. and most of you probably have no idea why.. not because of how sick Curren$y is over this beat, but where the beat is actually from. This is originally from 16 years ago when Shaquille O'neal, yes SHAQ (aka the Big Diesel / Big Cactus / Superman.. etc) teamed up with Biggie for the song "Can't Stop the Reign." They killed this beat back then and I am so glad to hear it again..

Listen to and download BOTH songs below.

Introducing Maxwell


Today we have the pleasure of introducing you guys to a talented new artist out of Georgetown University who goes by the name of Maxwell. His manager, Trey, hit me up the other day and asked me to check out a few of his tracks and I was definitely impressed. Maxwell started out as a member of a group started by he and his friends called City Hall, and is now mainly focusing on a solo career, however the group is still intact. Paying homage to his influences, Maxwell focuses on lyricism and storytelling while trying to avoid some of the rap cliches that many new artists get caught up in. What impressed me most about Maxwell was exactly that, his lyricism. He is ahead of many new artists coming up that you see all around blogs, and his flow and delivery are on point. Check out a few of his tracks below, my personal favorite is the remix he did of Royce da 5'9's "Boom", and be on the lookout for a few more coming possibly within the next week or so. Also head over to City Hall's Facebook page to learn more about Maxwell. Enjoy, and as always let us know what you think!

Adair Lion - Am I Dreaming Official Video


Adair lion just released the video for his track "Am I Dreaming" off of his latest mixtape For The Love Of, and its a dope video with a very real message. The song is about the many kids who come into the United States every year from Mexico on Mexican freight trains, often alone, and was inspired by the Dream Act passed by Obama and later rejected by congress. The video was shot and edited by Jon Kilmer and features shots from the HBO documentary "Which Way Home". Check it out above, download it below, and get to know Adair Lion better by heading over to his Facebook fan page and his website.



Tyga - Still Got It ft. Drake


This track has been circulating the internet for a while but I just got my hands on the CDQ version so I figured I'd put up a post. Drake on the hook does sound a bit like an endless amount of Drake songs I've heard but I'm still feeling it. Check it out and download it below.




Florence and The Machine - Shake It Out (The Weeknd Remix)


The Weeknd just released this remix of Florence and The Machine's track "Shake It Out" and its unbelievable. Florence has such an amazing voice and The Weeknd's production on this remix is too sick. Check it out in the youtube video above, no download link yet, but word is iTunes will be releasing this track and a Benny Benassi remix of the same Florence song for purchase on October 2nd.

Mac Miller - Love Lost


This is a track that I've had sitting in my iTunes library for quite some time now, I've been meaning to post it for a long time but just never got around to it. It was the song that Mac released when he reached the 400k follower mark, and he's now at over 900k so yeah. The song is sick though, it may be one of my favorite Mac tracks ever, just super laid back with a catchy hook and a beat produced by Black Diamond. Check it out and download it below.

Diggy Simmons - Just Begun


Diggy's been killing it as of late, he goes hard on every single track he's on and this one is no different. I've had this one in my iTunes library for a bit, one of my friends Tyler tipped me off to it and I've been meaning to post it for a while. I just never get tired of Diggy's flow, and his delivery is too sick. Check out the track and download it below.

Wiz Khalifa - Taylor Gang Ft. Chevy Woods [Official Music Video]



Dope new video with tons of footage from Wiz on the road with his crew. These live shows look absolutely insane, he just goes crazy on stage and jumps around doing stupid shit. I think it's a hilarious video. Obviously the song goes hard, off of Cabin Fever which was released back in February. Download the song below.




Pusha-T- Don't Fuck With Me


Pusha-T throws a freestyle over Drake's "Dreams money can buy," and definitely throws a few subliminal lines out there. Be the judge of who he's addressing, I'd like to see this one unravel.

Trey Palms - Not Too Far Away Mixtape




StagsFlow has been behind Trey Palms since day one and today is a big day for Trey, today he drops his sophomore mixtape Not Too Far Away, and trust me when I say it is absolute fire. I've been really impressed with Trey since I heard some of his first freestyles and all of the tracks on this tape are top quality. Not Too Far Away is packed with smooth flows and lyricism that is undeniable, and there are really no filler tracks. Along with the mixtape Trey also dropped a new video for his track "Skylights" done by one of my good friends Eric Loy. The video shows some footage from Trey's shows, including his show here at Fairfield, along with some candid footage captured on flip cams and it has a great vibe to go along with the laid back, feel good track. Check out video above, and listen to a few of my personal favorite tracks off of Not Too Far Away and download the mixtape in its entirety below. Enjoy this one!

So our boy Moufy is doing big things these days. His latest mix tape Boston lights has been downloaded a combined 15,000 times in the past month, the video for the title track off of that mix tape was recently played at a Patriots game, and he sold out the Middle East Downstairs in Boston. He was recently contacted by the company Popchips who asked him to do a track for a commercial he would be in with Red Sox DH David Ortiz. Here at StagsFlow we've been known to say that Moufy is one of the dopest unsigned artists in the game, and he is definitely living up to that reputation. Check out the commercial above and like Moufy on Facebook and follow him on twitter below. Also, download Moufy's Boston Lights mix tape below as well if you haven't already.

OnCue - All The Way (MP3 x Official Video)


I wanted to post this song this morning, but I heard Cuey was unleashing the official video on the world today so I held off until now. OnCue has become one of my favorite rappers in the game the past few months, theres not many people who have released as much solid free music as OnCue out there. This one is another dope track from Cuey, not many people can match his delivery and his flow is undeniable. The beat is produced by manicanparty and CJ Luzi, who we've seen work with OnCue a ton. Check out the official video above, as with most of OnCue's videos this one was done by Visual High Life, and download the track below.

Kenton Dunson - Firestarter ft. Ryan Kellie (MP3 x Official Video)


Kenton Dunson just released the video for his track "Firestarter" off of his critically acclaimed album Creative Destruction 2. This is a deep, lyrical track from Kenton about the trials and tribulations of a relationship, and getting involved with the wrong girl, something a lot of people can relate to. Kenton has a smooth, almost effortless flow that I'm really feeling and I think a lot of people will be drawn to his music. Check it out, download the song below, and download Creative Destruction 2 in full below as well. Be on the lookout for more from Kenton because I promise this will not be the last you hear from him. Enjoy.


Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris - We Found Love


This song is sure to be on the radio in a matter of weeks / months or however long you want to give it. It will be a hit in no time. A couple of my friends are traveling abroad right now in Europe and some of them are going to see Calvin Harris tonight in Ibiza and they told me to look out for this guy and the music he is coming out with because he is going to blow up. And what do you know, I found this song by Calvin and Rihanna popping up everywhere today all over the internet and it is amazing. Listen to it and you will agree with me that this will be a hit soon.

Duck Sauce - Luis Guzman (How To Make It in America Season 2)



What's up ya'll. Been a hot second since I have last checked in. I can see that my man Deane Flow has added some new writers to the site , TronnFlow and Rose Flow, who have already impressed me and earned my co-sign. Like I said a few posts ago, I'm going to be doing a guest post every once in a while with some stuff I would put up here if I had more time.


I've said a few times before that I'm a huge fan of the new series How To Make It in America that premiered on HBO last year. HBO's hip, smart series How to Make It in America is a snapshot of the beating heart of young ambition and energy in New York City. The show is about two young entrepreneurs, Cam and Ben, are their goal to essentially make it in NYC by creating a clothing line : Crisp NYC. Made by the same people who brough you Entourage, HTMIA is essentially Entourage before Vince gets big. The show illustrates the ups and downs of starting you're own company, relationships, and friendship. I think this show can be a huge success.


The video above is part of HBO's promotional strategy to push the show, which comes back on Oct. 2nd for season 2. Deane Flow put up the mixtape the other day, which came courtesy of Scott Vener, the musical supervisor for HTMIA, Entoruage, and 90210 ( @brokemogul ) . Now, everyone and their mother loved the song "Barbra Streisand" by Duck Sauce when it came out. Scott teams Duck Sauce up with one of the most lovable characters in the show Luis Guzman (Rastaaaa Monstaaaa) to create an awesome video. Featuring cameo's from Mark Wahlberg, Pharrell, Justin Bieber, Asher Roth, Rahzel, Q-Tip, Pusha T, etc. and all the characters from the show. Check out the video and will post the mp3 whenever I can. If you want to follow up on the show, hit up the links below!

Radical Something - We Are Nothing




Yesterday Radical Something dropped their unbelievable debut album titled We Are Nothing. I wanted to post it yesterday but I was really busy and didn't get a chance to give it a good listen, so I figured I'd wait until now. Well after two complete run throughs of the tracks, I'm going to recommend you all download this album. For those who don't know, Radical Something is the group that consists of Loggy, Josh Cocktail, and producer DJ Big Red. Combining Josh's ridiculously smooth vocals with Loggy's upbeat rhymes and Big Red's skills on the boards, Radical Something always releases hits with that laid back, summer vibe that everyone knows and loves. Loggy, Josh, and Big Red have been kind enough to release the album for free, but you can support the Radicals and head over to iTunes to buy the album as well. Check it out below and enjoy!

We Are Nothing by WeAreRadical


The Weeknd




The Weeknd is a new artist that doesn't have much hype, but that seems to be exactly what he wants. We first heard of The Weeknd through a few subliminal Tweets from Drake last March. What hit next was the mixtape "House of Balloons" I downloaded it on a whim because of the Artwork, and was tranced ever since. Check out two songs down below, and catch a copy of each at the Weeknd's Site.

Pick up this mixtape at OddFuture's Tumblr down below, and check out one of the tracks.

Huey Mack - Popular x Hope Solo


Well everyone and their mother has rapped over this Popular beat. I know Deane Flow posted someone else rapping over this beat back in August and he mention Huey Mack had done it as well but I thought I'd toss this up here because honestly this post is mostly about this other song... The song Hope Solo came out right after the Women's World Cup and im surprised it hasn't been posted here yet. Listen to the first 17 seconds and you will understand why I love this song. Its hilarious, clever, has a good beat and yet SOOO true. Shes hot what can i say??

J. Cole feat. Missy Elliott - Nobody's Perfect


J. Cole is back at it again with another smooth rap over a nice beat. And apparently Missy is back from the dead.. or a Weight Watchers class.... who knows. Regardless, they come together on this chill song and kill it. You will love listening to this song just hangin around and youre gonna put this on repeat. Enjoy.

Fortune Family - Living Dead


Reef just sent over Fortune Family's newest track off of their upcoming mixtape, and its more of what we've come to expect from the fam. Hobson and Reef both killed their verses, and the beat is a sick laid back hip-hop beat with a little bit of a different feel that I'm really digging. Check out the track and download it below.



Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Make The Money


Haha I had to make up for Jimmy's Backstreet Boys post with some new Macklemore and Ryan Lewis fire. At this point its impossible for these two to release a bad song, every beat and every verse they combine on is absolute top quality. Check out the new track below and you're going to want to hit the download link. This is a MUST download.



Backstreet Boys - Lost In Space


We all used to love the Backstreet Boys undeniably. After all this time, they're still banging out tracks. Although this one is not one of their greatest endeavors, it's still the Backstreet Boys. Super-synth, poppy, generic, everything that we really don't need any more of in today's music. But screw it, give it a try, it's awesome that they are still around.




B.o.B. - Welcome to the Jungle Freestyle


Well this is sick. This guy is so damn good at everything he does. He murders this Kanye/Jay Z beat and once again reminds us of how incredible he is when it comes to freestyle. Absolutely can not wait for his upcoming album.

Logic - Young Sinatra (Mixtape)


Logic's manager Chris e-mailed us yesterday and told us to check out Logic's new mixtape Young Sinatra. Logic is a guy who's been featured on the site once or twice, but I hadn't heard much from him, well that definitely changed. This mixtape is an extensive project, it consists of 22 songs, and I'm being completely honest when I say theres not one "throw away" track on the whole tape. Young Sinatra is packed with hard hitting hip-hop beats with sick samples, and unreal flows and lyricism from Logic. I haven't been this impressed with a new up and coming artist in quite some time, this kid is definitely in it for the long haul. Check out a few of my personal favorite tracks off of the mixtape, and download the full project below. Also, check out Logic on facebook and twitter by clicking the links below as well. Enjoy, and expect to see more of Logic on the site from here on out.
