Let’s count the artsy cliches in the new video from Versis: 1. black and white cityscape 2. walking down the street in the rain 3. not looking at the camera while rapping. But who cares? The dapper visuals for “The Journey” suit Dibia$e’s ritzy beat perfectly and film noir is..

British singer, DJ, producer Ben Westbeech has a great new single. “Slowly” is smooth and creamy with house drums and subtle synths that keep it exciting. Ben’s floaty vocals seal the deal. His sophomore album There’s More To Life Than This due out in April. You can download “Slowly” at..

I’m not one to get excited about Freeway or Reek Da Villian, but Statik brings the best out of them here. “Im In the Hood” comes from The Statik-Free EP, which they recorded live for the Internet to watch. Out now. And yes, Reek actually spells it “Villian.” I looked..
Train! Fight! Die?! DJA and Dirty South Joe have distilled the essence of motivation and physical and mental exertion into musical form. The product of their labor is Heaven 2 Hell, their second 80s action soundtrack mix. As with any action sequel, the stakes are higher and the danger level..
