On their upcoming album Raising the Bar, Cold Heat surround themselves with a mix of unknowns, up-and-comers, and legends. “Spanish Guitars” is a dose of old New York crack. It’s an indie rap thing. Download: Cold Heat – Spanish Guitars (ft. Nico The Beast, SR, Neta, Meyhem Lauren) (produced by..

Sonnymoon took some liberties with their remix of Flying Lotus’ “Zodiac Shit.” They plunged the beat underwater, they added hallucinogenic singing, and they slyly put an ‘f’ in the title to make it PG. Still psychedelic. Still makes the brain feel good. Listen here and watch the video for the..
Swedish indie singer Lykke Li (one more reason for us to wish that we were Swedish, the list grows) released her first album in 2008 titled Youth Novels. You may recognize her song “Little Bit” which was sampled and remixed a ton over the last year or so. Her sophomore album, Wounded..

I saw DJ Quik perform “Nobody” on Thursday at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn and even though there were only about 30 people in attendance, Quik had just as much fun as he does in the video. He let the beat ride out and started dancing to cheers of “Go..
“Second Place” has everything that Hell: The Sequel should have had: a dope beat and spectacular, often hilarious, rhymes. Royce can rap circles around most anyone, but he gets sidetracked with rageaholic Slaughterhouse tirades that are less impressive on every listen. DJ Premier’s low-profile beat keeps Royce in a zone..
