The production throughout the tape is big and hard-hitting and comes from the likes of Young Chop, Jake One and The Neptunes. Pusha is hands down one of the strongest MC's out right now and for Wrath of Caine he teams up with French Montana, Rick Ross and Wale. I've been patiently waiting for a Pusha solo project since Cruel Summer and it's lived up to all of my expectations thus far. Check it out in full and download Wrath of Caine in full below.

It's been a solid week since I've posted anything on the site so time to get back into it. First thing I saw today when I woke up was a new track from trap producers Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, collectively known as TNGHT.

Wale releases the video for his track "Never Never" off of his latest mixtape Folarin. The DJ Clark Kent presented mixtape dropped a little while ago and the majority of it was a welcome departure from the MMG sound that we heard on his latest album Ambition.

Be on the lookout for more from Wale on MMG's mixtape coming soon.

I've been taking some days off to say the least this break but every once in a while a song drops that I absolutely cannot overlook. Brooklyn's Joey Bada$$ hooked up with hip-hop legend DJ Premier for his newest song "Unorthodox" which is being distributed for free via Mountain Dew's Green Label Sound. Joey's flow just bounces over the classic 90's boom-bap sound, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before he collabed with Premier. This one just has to be heard, check it out below its a must download for any hip-hop fan.
It's been a little while since we've heard from the MisterWives out of Astoria, Queens. They closed out 2012 strong with some great shows and new singles. What I can tell you is that 2013 is going to be the year the MisterWives reach another level. To start the year off with a bang, they released a new single entitled "The Western". This new track opens ups with a smooth folk feel with Mandy singing over the piano. Then the hook hits you with an uptempo kick supplied by percussion, guitar, and bass. You will be clapping along instantly. The folk/soul verses and harmonic hook provide a perfect balance throughout this amazing jam. I'm sure you will be enjoying "The Western" as much as I am.
The MisterWives are also kicking off '13 with another show. This time they hit the famous Canal Room on February 1st in NYC. If you haven't been to one of their shows, you are missing out. One of the best live performers I've seen in a while. The stage presence and crowd involvement the MisterwWives provide is top notch. Check out their Facebook and SoundCloud below for all things MisterWives and head to the show! MisterWives SoundCloud MisterWives Facebook MisterWives Canal Room 2/1 Event
It's clear Mac has some strong ties in the hip-hop community these days no matter how much hate people try to throw his way. He's down with the Odd Future crew and now he's got songs with almost all of TDE. This time around he links up with TDE spiritual advisor Ab-Soul for his new song "All The Time" produced by Chuck Inglish, formerly of The Cool Kids. No word on whether this song is off of his upcoming album Watching Movies With The Sound Off or if it's just a random freebie but I'll take it either way. Give it a listen and download it below.
This girls been taking over the internet today with a preview for her newest single "When Worlds Collide". Zara Larsson is a 15 year old singer (yes 15) out of Stockholm, Sweden who was the winner of an American Idol-like talent contest in Sweden back in '08. She's signed to Universal and will be releasing her debut EP titled Introducing in 2013. This preview was just released and from the moment she started singing I was blown away. For such a young girl she's got a ridiculously powerful voice. My guess is there are now electro and house producers lining up for days to collaborate with this girl, her vocals over a powerful house instrumental could be pretty unbelievable. Hear her voice for yourself in the video above and click here to check out her other single off of her forthcoming EP, "Uncover". My guess is you should prepare to hear this name pretty regularly moving forward.
Matt Patterson has made a few appearances on the site but it's been a while since we've heard any new material from the singer out of Rockaway Queens. I'd been seeing some chatter on twitter that he was gearing up for the release of a new project, and the other day he dropped the first track and video off of his upcoming project Back In Business. Matt shows his range in "Let Em Talk", his voice is sounding better than ever and the official video for the song is dope. Back In Business is definitely looking up, check out the video above and be on the lookout for more from Matt coming soon.
The man behind the top album of 2012 is back to start rolling out the visuals for songs off of the critically acclaimed good kid, m.A.A.d City, starting with the video for his hard-hitting single "Backseat Freestyle". This one takes us from Paris to Kendrick's hometown of Compton, CA and introduces us to a few characters who are mainstays in skits and songs on the album like Kendrick's childhood girl Sherane, and his parents. Word is Kendrick will be turning the entire album into a short film, for which they've already started filming the videos. He called the album a short film from the get go, so it should be interesting to see all of his lyrics play out in a short film. For now check out "Backseat Freestyle" above and enjoy.
OnCue delivers with his first single in a long while, this one serves as the first taste off his upcoming project Angry Young Man. I can't wait for the drop of another full project from Cuey, he's been one of the top up-and-comers out for a long while now and it's about time he got all the shine he deserves. For "Cereal" he teams up with CJ Luzi once again to add yet another dope track to their collection of excellent songs together. Give this one a listen below and be on the lookout for more coming from OnCue and Angry Young Man. Enjoy.
