Out of nowhere the Kushed God brings us a little stocking stuffer with this Fre(Ep). Every project from Smoke has been on point this year so we are more then happy about this. The tape includes features from A$AP Rocky, Domo Genesis, A$AP Twelvyy, Freeway and more.
The DMV spitter Hassani Kwess is making noise right now. After being featured on Asher's Pabst & Jazz, he now links up with Chuck Inglish! It's funny, I've actually been listening to this dude for a while and I can promise you he is about to make a name for himself.

Artist: Droop-E Project: Blvck Diamond Life Label: Sick Wid It
Droop-E is one of my favorite up coming rappers and producers. You might know him from work with E-40, well that's because he is his son. Droop-E is still coasting off of the success from his 7 song EP Blvck Diamond Life, that came out late last year. The project featured all Sade samples, and it the whole thing gets at least one full spin a week from me. Each beat is chopped up by Droop-E and is perfect for parties, cooling and riding. He's been limited to features so far in 2012, but expect a full project from the Young Bay repper. I am willing to put my stamp of approval on his music, with recommendations to anyone. Be ready when he takes over it's only a matter of time.
Artist: Chase N. Cashe Producer: Hit-Boy Project: The Heir Up There
Yup, another one off of The Heir Up There! I swear this project can stand off of it's production alone. It's even better knowing the improved Chase will be spitting on it. Gear up.

Arizona's shining star, Badio, links up with Tom Larkin to give us an unique video for "Freestyle" off of his mixtape #WHATSBADIO that dropped earlier this year.

Artist: ASAP Ty Beats (Producer) Produced: Peso, Purple Swag etc. Via: BLOWHIPHOPTV.COM
"The A$AP crew has been making a lot of noise this year and a large reason for their success lies in an upcoming 18 year old producer, ASAP Ty Beats. Ty Beats counterpart and proclaimed "big brother," ASAP Rocky has seemingly come out the with of nowhere on the sails of only two songs, "Peso" and "Purple Swag" which are both certified digital hits and so perfectly produced by the Ty Beats. Although young, Ty carries himself well beyond his years and is always focused on his craft whether in the studio, or on the road with a laptop. With the recent release of the Live Love A$AP mixtape taking the city and the industry by storm, Ty is keeping his foot on the gas, fingers on the boards, and staying focused on delivering new sounds that will continue to define a movement"
