New Mixtape: "Faces" - Mac Miller

Download Mixtape | Free Mixtapes Powered by DatPiff.com

Last week Mac Miller released this new mixtape "Faces" which is available for free download via DatPiff. With 24 tracks total, this project almost feels more like an album than a mixtape, imo - shit is dope!

"Faces" features special guest appearances by Sir Michael Rocks, Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt, Mike Jones & Rick Ross. That is not a typo, it say's Rick Ross, which is perhaps the weirdest name on the list of collaborators. Either way, this mixtape is definitely worth the download.

New Video: "Hardest Song Ever" - Locksmith feat. Leah Tysse

This shit is hard. Not in some bull shit gangster sense of the word, but because it's got real lyrics that deal with very real issues that some may find hard to understand. Locksmith does it again, provoking thought with yet another raw track.

Here is the official music video for "Hardest Song Ever", which is the first single from Locksmith's newest album "A Thousand Cuts" available now on iTunes. The track features vocals on the hook from Leah Tysse.

"This my personal account of abuse and its effect on my life. If my story can help any other person that is suffering then I am truly grateful." - Locksmith

The song is produced by Locksmith & Mike Blankenship.

The premise of this video series involves having a producer head on down to the local record store, then blind fold them and have them randomly select three records from which they will take a sample and turn it into a new beat.

New Video: "The Valley" - Rich Kidd

Brought to life by Toronto-based Director RT!, here are the really dope visuals for "The Valley", a banging track from one of Toronto's brightest rising stars, producer/artist Rich Kidd. The track is featured on Rich Kidd's solo LP project "In My Opinion", which dropped last year.

This video is on some crazy, "Eyes Wide Shut" type shit, but with like a horror twist at the end, nah mean? I definitely respect the artist vision that RT! brings to the table with this one.

New Video: "Fast Life" - Asher Roth

That looks like an intimidating box. Sometimes, you've got to step outside of your comfort zone and just hit that "refresh" button on your perspective to figure out whats really important, ya know? Don't get caught up in the fast life.

This is hands down one of my favourite music videos that's been released this year. "Fast Life" is a really uplifting and feel good track, with an inspirational video to match. The track, which features Vic Mensa, is from Asher Roth's new album "RetroHash".

Asher Roth's new album "RetroHash" is available now on iTunes.

New Video: 106 & Park The Backroom (Freestyle) - Shad

https://twitter.com/shadkmusic

Check out this really cool video of Canadian hip hop artist Shad repping Canada proudly with such a great lyrical freestyle on BET's 106 & Park The Backroom. All I have to say is DAMN!

Perhaps one of the most under-rated and slept on emcee's in all of Canada, if not all of hip-hop is Shad out of London, Ontario. Believe me, I don't say shit like that lightly, and I am aware that such a claim or statement is just a seed for a great debate of the best lyricists in hip hop. That being said, there is no denying that Shad is a lyrical genius who doesn't get enough credit.

New Video: "The World Is Not Enough" - Asher Roth

The hippy look definitely just adds to the philosophical mystique that is Asher Roth. Hate him or love him, the dude is unique and makes fresh, feel good music. Even when the music makes you think.

It didn't take long for Asher Roth to mature into a more though provoking and lyrically focused artist. Now that he is older, and seemingly more wise, it appears as though he has a lot more interesting things to rhyme about these days.

In case you missed it, Asher Roth's new album "RETROHASH" just dropped on Tuesday April 22nd.

Check out this new video from Vancouver-based indie hip hop artist SonReal and The Boom Booms, also from Vancouver. This collaborative effort is a recording of a live session for the new track "Let Me".

This song is feel good as fuck. I dare you to click play and NOT vibe out. It cannot be done. One thing you have to respect about SonReal is he definitely isn't afraid to put him self out there and let the music speak for it self. How can you not respect it?
