HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Just thought I'd post this little fun number for the occasion. I know we've probably all grown up watching the movie BeetleJuice and what better way to express my daily dub than with a dubbed up Halloween mix of the movie's theme song. Enjoy
Mike Stud just released the visuals for his track "Bottle It Up" off of his latest mixtape A Toast To Tommy that. The song features Kinetics and One Love and is one of the more serious tracks off of the mixtape. Mike shows some versatility on this track and the video is dope, it was directed by Paddy Quinn. Check it out and download "Bottle It Up" below if you haven't already.
And the award for most ridiculous halloween themed video complete with a talking horse named tyrone goes to......Macklemore and Ryan Lewis! The Seattle duo just released the video for their track "And We Danced" and it is every bit as ridiculous as I expected it to be and more. There's really not much more to say except that you should check it out. Hit the link below to download "And We Danced" on iTunes.
Childish Gambino just released the new video for his track "Bonfire". It's definitely a different video, it features Donald coming to an unexpected realization and it is definitely themed for the day...and kind of creepy. Check out the video and be on the lookout for Camp dropping November 15th.
This past friday I did a post about Serik.Me, a house/EDM producer out of New York City who also happens to be a Fairfield graduate. Serik has teamed up with his fellow NYC DJ/Producer Robert Palliser to form a collaboration project called Hyperbits and this is their first mashup pack they've released. On this project you can hear a bunch of artists you'll know including Tiesto, DeadMau5, Dada Life, Ellie Goulding, Sander Van Dorn and Kaskade. Check out the mashup pack below and head over to their Facebook fan page to download the whole project for free.
This is the newest installment of Quiet Storm's #MSH Monday series, and its another banger from our boy Storm. This time he goes in over the beat from Meek Mill and Rick Ross' "I'm A Boss" and kills it. Check out the track and download it below.
Teejay is a guy who's been featured on the site a few times, his manager Jarret always hits us up with his artists newest releases, this time it's a dope video directed by Jon Kilmer for his track "See Me Now". This is a more serious track from TeeJay about how far he's come in the music game, and how dedicated he is to making it. The video is dope with shots from around Chicago, and it has a great vibe, perfect for the song with TeeJay and his boys just bouncing around the city having a good time. Check out the video and be on the lookout for the download which will be available when Teejay's upcoming project CollegeDaze releases. Also, learn more about Teejay by checking out his Facebook and twitter, links for both will be below as well.
Here we have the latest mixtape from UVM rapper Jacob Es. Peace of Mind is Jacob Es' sophomore mixtape and it consists of ten solid tracks and three bonus tracks off of his last mixtape Stoned Poets Society. On this tape Jacob Es combines smooth verses with laid-back beats with some cool samples. I really didn't know much about Jacob Es until just recently. we've been posting his stuff for a while now but somehow he had just slipped through the cracks for me but he's been impressing me a ton as of late. His flow is really smooth and lyrically he is on top of his game. He also displays a lot of versatility on this tape, theres a lot of different songs that will appeal to a number of different fans of music. Check out a selection of tracks from Peace Of Mind below, and download the whole project below as well.

The townhouses being out of power and internet are really not helping me right now. But, I've got it. Ed Sheeran is quickly becoming one of my favorite British discoveries so far and he just keeps coming with a whole bunch of different things. I posted his dubbed out song earlier and now I'm going to post something a little more laid back. It's still really good so give it a listen.
So a lot of you may be looking at the feature on this track and are scratching your heads but believe me this is a hit. Kid Rock comes out of nowhere and drops a super catchy hook and Yela handles the verses. Check out the track and download it below, enjoy.
This is the newest track from Colorado based producer Pretty Lights titled "Wayfaring Stranger". He did this remix as part of a film project called ReGeneration Music and he was asked to combine his style with country music. I'm a big fan of this track, I never really dislike anything from Pretty Lights. He calls this one a "Dusty hip-hop style laced track" and its definitely a hit featuring vocals from Ralph Stanley and Leanne Rimes. There is also an electro remix of this song coming out so be on the lookout for that. Check out the track and download it below.
Serik Slobodskoy is an up and coming EDM producer out of New York City, and he also happens to be a Fairfield Alum. Serik hit me up on twitter a little while ago and asked me to check out the new track he produced with vocals from a female singer names Hannah, and I was blown away. Serik Slobodskoy is a 25 year old New York native who is extremely passionate about music production - just ask him about, he'd love to talk to anyone about music. Before he turned seventeen, he played over 200 shows as the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for a prominent Long Island alternative pop-punk band. Now, his love for music has lead him to become an electronic dance music producer, fusing together styles of electro, trance, and progressive house. He has received praise from Laidback Luke, Chris Zane (Passion Pit producer), & Jim Wirts (Jack's Mannequin producer). Serik is also heavily involved in a collaboration project with long time friend and fellow up and coming DJ/Producer Robert Palliser, under the moniker 'Hyperbits'. Utiliing their individual skill sets, which happen to be on opposite ends of the EDM spectrum, these two are on a fast path to production success.
"All This Noise" is an unreal dance party track that I can only imagine a ton of people will love. It has all the elements of songs that house and EDM fans love, sick drops and an unreal upbeat electro beat. Check out "All This Noise", download it below, and get to know Serik more by following him on twitter and checking out his website. All the links are below. Enjoy, this one should be perfect for the weekend.
Here we have the newest track from Beau Young Prince. This time he hooks up with his boy Brenton Duvall once again to combine for an unreal track with some vocals from Leia Sadiku as well. The instrumental is unreal, its super laid back and perfect for kicking back to. BYP's verses are super smooth as usual, his flow is unreal and the vocals from Leia Sadiku are sick on the chorus and definitely add another dope element to the song. Toss a jav and check out the track and download it below, I highly recommend it.
My man Futuristic reppin' Arizona is back with an extremely dope new mixtape. If you're a hip-hop head, you'll definitely dig this talented rapper. Futuristic is no stranger to Stags Flow, as I have done a few posts on him back in the day. He hit me up on Facebook to today to drop his brand new mixtape "Yall Suck". Although it's only 5 tracks, each track is solid in their own way. Whether Mr. I Had To Do It is going hard on the verse or delivering a smooth hook, Futuristic does not dissapoint.
Now I'm pretty sure I've expressed how big of a Childish Gambino fan I am on the site. I'm going to see him live in Novemeber at Terminal 5 with the man Obey Flow. With that said, not many people can flow so smoothly over a Gambino beat. Futuristic decides to go over two of them, "Freaks and Geeks" and "Bonfire". A pretty tall task, but Futuristic sets the beat up and spikes it. His delivery matches Gambino's speed and style, yet provides his own flair through his insane lyricism.
Futuristic displays his versatility by the other three track on the mixtape. On the Kanye / Jay-Z track "Paris", Futuristic provides a lightning fast head bumping delivery. Over Tyga's and Drake's "Still Got It", he is a perfect accomplice for Drake's smooth sounds. Covering Drake / Rick Ross' "Free Spirit", Future provides some perfect punchlines to match a creative hook.
Overall, Futuristic is not you're average new rapper. What seperates him from the pack is his lyricism and his professional delivery. Futuristic is on his grind to make it. As he descibred to me "Music is my life, I don't know what I'd do without it." Enjoy the tracks and hit the links below.
This is the newest track from the Southern California hip-hop trio, Pac Div. This track "Useless" is a leak off of their upcoming LP The DiV and features a sick verse from Asher Roth. Pac Div always release hits and this track is no different, its a hard hitting hip-hop beat and all of the verses are dope. Check it out below, download it below and be on the lookout for The DiV dropping oniTunes on November 8th.
This is the newest track from Kaskade, its a collab with everyone's favorite female vocalist Skylar Grey. "Room For Happiness" is off of his upcoming album Fire & Ice and it's an absolute electro banger. Electronic music isn't really my thing but I couldn't help but love this song, its a sick feel good beat and the vocals are tight. Check it out and click the download link below. This one is a MUST download.
Hoodie just unleashed the video for his track "James Franco" off of his latest mixtape Leap Year. The video was done by Toy Human Productions and was filmed all around Venice Beach. It's a pretty funny video with random James Franco heads popping up everywhere and Hoodie interacting with all of the weirdos that hang around Venice Beach. "James Franco" is a dope song, Hoodie's flow is silky smooth as always and the beat, produced by RJF, is really unique. Everyone should check out the video, download the full mixtape Leap Year below, then go out and buy a ticket to see Hoodie LIVE here at Fairfield U tomorrow night, believe me he'll kill it. Enjoy!
Here's my second installment of Throwback Thursday, again this one is compliments of my brother Joe. This week's playlist is another dope one with a little bit of everything. We've got an old school Eminem song for you off of his very first album from way back in '96. Also some throwback Common, and one of my favorite songs of all time "G-Code" by Geto Boys. Also thrown in the mix is a little Tupac and Biggie, a banger from The Crooklyn Dodgers, and it wouldn't be throwback Thursday without at least one track from A Tribe Called Quest. Check them all out below for a little hip-hop history lesson and download everything below as well. Enjoy.
J. Cole just ended his Cole World Tour last night In NYC, I caught the show and he did his thing. He gave the audience a treat and premiered his video for "Lost Ones." He shot the video about three years ago before his record deal. Here's the video for easily one of the best tracks on Cole World: The Sideline Story.
I've been asking myself where Chester French was for a few months now. Some might remember a duo that Pharrel signed a few years back, straight out of Harvard. As the duo is working in a new album, the vocalist D.A has been dropping a few features here and there. Today he sent out two tracks to his fans that he's been working on with Jamaican producer Supa Dups.
Daily Dub. Posted the original to this song in my girls post but this is the Skrillex remix of it and I love it. Skrillex is always killing it, I've never heard something from him that I don't like and I know you guys will like this one too.
I haven't really had any time to post today as I was studying for a test all day, but I figured I had to put something up to not feel completely worthless. This is a short 16 bars from Childish Gambino over Hudson Mohawke's "Twistclip Loop" that Sean hit me up with. Definitely a short song but absolutely worth a listen. Donald kills it, check out the track and download it below.
New track off of Wale's highly anticipated album "Ambition" coming out 11.1.11. Wale, Big Sean, greatness. High expectations for this album, it's gonna be a good one.
New set of visuals from XV! The video is for his track "U.F.C.", a cut off of his latest project Zero Heroes. The video was directed by Rex Arrow, I don't think I've ever seen a Rex Arrow music video that I didn't like. Check it out and download the track below.
Not to be out done by his Taylor Gang homie Wiz, Chevy decided to release a freestyle of his own. On this one he goes in over Tupac's "Picture Me Rollin" instrumental. I've become a pretty big fan of Chevy recently, he's making his way out of the shadow of Wiz and starting to come into his own, this freestyle is dope. Check it out and download it below. It's just a Taylor Gang kinda day here at StagsFlow I guess, Enjoy.
Wiz took to his twitter account last night to release yet another freestyle. This time he goes in over the beat from Meek Mill's "House Party". I can never complain about a new Wiz freestyle, especially over a dope hip-hop beat that bumps like this one. Check it out and hit the download link below. Saw this one over at PandP.
I'm not personally a gigantic fan of dub step but every once in a while I hear a dub step track and just can't stop listening to it, which is exactly what happened with this Red Mob remix of Wiz's "When I'm Gone". This song definitely has its highs and lows, it has some slightly calmer sections but still has some dirty drops. Red Mob is a crunkstep duo out of chicago, and they definitely have a hit on their hands with this one. Crank up the bass and enjoy. Download link is below.
This is the newest cut from Quiet Storm, the eigth installment in his MSH monday series. On this one he takes on the lofty task of following Chiddy and going in over Xaphoon's beat from "Mind Your Manners" and most definitely holds his own. This one is another precursor to his Name In Lights mixtape, dropping 11/28/11. Check out the new track and download it below.
Wiz is back with a freestyle over Wale's "Bait". Goes pretty hard if you ask me. I'll always be a Wiz fan despite recent critics or whatever people are starting to think of him now. No reason to hate just cause he made it. Only downside is that there's only one verse so it's short. Anyway, check it out.
This is the latest video from Logic for his track "All I Do", produced by Black Diamond, off of his critically acclaimed mixtape Young Sinatra. The video was directed by GRVTY, check it out above and download the track below if you haven't already.
This one is for the ladies again, my friend really likes this song and she told me to post it. This beat is so good and definitely pre-game worthy, it's upbeat and cool and is appropriate because it has a bit of a Halloween theme. Check the youtube video I've posted below and enjoy! Let me know what you think about it.
As it is mashup monday I figured I would do a post for a mashup artist I've been a fan of for a little while. DJ 21azy turns out some absolutely dope mashups with really creative combinations. My personal favorite of his has to be "Can I Get These Colours" where he mashes together Biggie's "Can I Get Witcha" with Skizzy Mars' remix of Xaphoon Jones' remix of Grouplove's "Colours". That may sound confusing haha but I'm betting you'll all love it once you click play. Check out four of his mashups and download them all below, be on the lookout for more from DJ 21azy because I'm willing to bet this is not the last you'll see of him on the site. Enjoy.
This is the newest track from Vonnegut frontman Kyle Lucas. "Cut Me Down", which is produced by Simon illa, is the first leak off of Kyle's upcoming EP Purple Cloud Thoughts. This is a dope song lyrically and the beat has an ill laid back sample that a lot of people will love. Check it out and download it below. For anyone that doesn't know, when you go to hulkshare, in order to download the song you click the thing that says download in big letters and "hulkshare.com" right under it. Just wanted to clear that up.
I was thinking about Amy Winehouse today and decided to post one of my favorite songs she collaborated on with Professor Green, who is my favorite British rapper. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
