THUTMOSE - BLAME

LA-based artist management group, TH3RD BRAIN houses relations for artists like ZHU, Krewella, and Gallant- noteworthy acts to say the least. But, the collective brakes for musicians who are still on the come up as well. TH3RD BRAIN's latest addition is Thutmose, the Nigerian-born, NYC-living hustler who is blazing trails for the entire community of not only hip-hop, but the world of art entirely. His latest track, "Blame" is a bump that is platinum-worthy- capitalizing on a mainstream, hip-hop cadence while remaining novel and distinct. Combining production fit for the world of dance music, and seductive, rhythmic rhymes, "Blame" chews you up and spits you out, fiercely. His presence is dominating, and certain. The world of rap goes to the beat of its own drum, as high-profile rappers are redefining it's aesthetic and sound every moment, of every day. But leaving a legacy in that community is challenging. Thutmose, on the other hand, is humbly taking the throne as one of the best young rappers in the game right now. He uses bold production, and delivers lines clearly, and consciously. "Blame" is only a stepping stone in what will be a long career for the rapper- watch this space. 

TATE TUCKER - JUST WANNA

Let us introduce you to one of LA's up-and-coming Hip-hop stud Tate Tucker with his newest jam "Just Wanna." The track strikes a slick balance between being smooth as hell, while somehow remaining hype. Tate's feel good verses, falsettos and croons should put a smirk on your face, while the back beat has a certain innocence to it with the bells and active percussion. Tate also just released a dope video for the tune that shows off his inner Hugh Hefner. Sportin' circle glasses and a robe, Tucker's making the rap game seem easy and that's readily apparent when you hit play. This track is a single coming from his "All In" EP due in November. However, you can nab this single as a free download here. 

OWEN BONES - MACH ONE (FEAT. TUNJI IGE & LIL AARON)

Chicago's Owen Bones doesn't have that large of a catalogue yet, but we're picturing big things ahead for this upstart rapper. Owen first came across my radar with his track "Stuntman (feat. Kevin Abstract & Mick Jenkins" a few months ago. When I saw his new single "Mach One" featuring Tunji Ige and another one of our BB faves lil aaron I figured something tight was about to drop. To my delight what I got was a fun, weekend ready single that's smooth and full of energy. On top of that he's got a pretty cool website where you can get links to download/stream this single. Looks like we'll be seeing a lot more in the future from this camp.

TITUS - WRONG ONES (PROD. MYLES WILLIAM)

I think Titus may have written this jam about me, because yea man .... I really really like falling in love with the wrong ones, and definitely always want the time of my life. He just gets me! We've been big supporters of this New Jersey rapper, and this past year he's dropped some of our favorite flips and vocal edits - all totally delicious of course! "Wrong Ones" produced by Myles William is the first original track from yung Titus - pretty exciting! Big future bass and super smooth vocals - it's my new fave! Swoop this one from iTunes HERE! 

[PREMIERE] MALCOLM ANTHONY - HOOKED (PROD. GARRETT LODGE)

When Malcolm Anthony walked into my production office at SXSW earlier this year - I instantly knew we would be homies. This Los Angeles rapper has more kind vibes then most, and I'm psyched to premiere his next original track "Hooked" produced by Garrett Lodge. Malcolm has a smooth laid back style and this new tune is full of sexy grooves soaked in summertime feels. I'm hooked, and you will be too!  Out July 8 via New Trinity Music Group, and you can pre-order via iTunes HERE!
