The hypnotic beat and the crazy lyrics, I can’t stop watching this video. Open Mike Eagle is having Nightmares, but should be on cloud nine with this video. The video goes from Open Mike tossing and turning in a blue/green hue of light. “I went to bed at midnight, and the clock said 1, 2, 3.” switching to a black & white with a shot of him at a free standing mic. The video’s visuals really add to the great lyrics that Open Mike Eagle spits. Really dope track and video. BIG shout to WHAT310, Willie Green and Nocando,.

I like beats, you like beats. Say what?! You haven’t heard any good stuff lately? Let me fix that right up for you. Juels is a 23 year old producer/beat maker from Torrance, Ca., and has something for your ears. Before you turn on Juels’ latest beat tape project Gems, crank up the volume on whatever you have it on, lay back and hit play. Gems gotta a west coast swing to it. With Juels’ arrangement of claps, drums, samples, and assortment of instruments it makes Gems more than a diamond in The Ruff. Girls Girls stands out the most for me because it’s that track that doesn’t have a genre. You can play it in any scene and it’ll get folks up dancing. Gems is cut to shine, and it shines bright. Give it a listen. Download Juels – Gems on Band Camp. BIG thanks Juels for hitting us up about this great project.

Juels – Nocturnals Shine
You really have to respect a cat for being on the grind all the time. Futuristic is always at shows, preforming, promoting, networking, tweeting, emailing, and just giving it his all. I would see this cat out and about back to back weekends making things happen. Earlier this year Futuristic released the EP Stairways. The production on it is heavy and he spits what he knows. After I watched the video (above), I got a better insight on who and what Futuristic is all about, positive hip hop. He’s confident in his skills, and understands that there’s more he needs to learn. I am sure you will be hearing more in the future from Futuristic. Download Futuristic – Stairways on Band Camp. BIG thanks brother for keeping me posted.

Yes Mr. Trackstar the DJ is cranking’em out. Mixing mixtapes, making mixtapes, and doing events this cat is every where. And when it comes to music, he knows what he’s talking about so listen closely. 4:20 is known for a few things, and now for the day Kid Vishis dropped Sick Em Vol 2: Bar 4 Bar mixed by Trackstar the DJ. Kid Vishis kills it. I don’t have to tell you where Kid Vishis is from because it’s written all over this mixtape. Sick Em Vol 2: Bar 4 Bar holds up to the quality you expect from a Detroit artist and well worth the listen. I have it on heavy rotation in the headphones. Download Kid Vishis – Sick Em Vol 2: Bar 4 Bar here. BIG Thanks to the homie Trackstar the DJ for the heads up on this one. Keep banging those mixtapes out my friend. BIG shout to The Smoking Section.
