Be Good or Be Careful – Sol

Nima Skeemz, the producer that helped create favorites “2020″ and “Stage Dive”, crafts another crispy production for my favorite Northwest rapper (Macklemore aside), Sol. “Be Good or Be Careful” slightly lacks in that top-notch Sol lyricism that we’ve grown to love, but still serves as a genuine, simply produced “farewell” letter before the man ventures off into a 9-month traveling journey. No worries, more music from Sol and his team coming shortly on a new EP… stay tuned!

Outside – Asher Roth

Nothing quite makes my day like some Asher Roth. With every new release he’s shown his maturity as an artist. Outside is just feel-good piece with slowed up lines, a beautiful instrumental, and cool sample on the hook. Asher fan or not, take a listen.

Shadows Pt II – Dillon Cooper

Dillon Cooper really hits the spot with this track. The first few lines threw me off, but once he gets on his rhythm, Dillon takes this track to a whole new level. He’s got meaning, flow, and style. The video is simple and elegant, the words are powerful. I’ve got a feeling we’re going to see big things from Dillon Cooper, keep an eye out.

    If you weren’t aware, this is a hip hop site. Hip hop used to be the only genre posted on the home page and the other genres had seperate pages. Plus the change is far more appealing to those genres that should have remained on their own pages and not on the home site.

    Gone – Neema feat. Eighty4 Fly & Wingo

    This is some heart-wrenching hip-hop I’m bringing to you today, even thought it’s Friday. But it’s damn good. Seattle hip-hop artist Neema, whom I have never heard of before, comes out with a bang with a track about a breakup filled with passion and anger. With assisting vocals from Eighty4 Fly and Wingo (of Jagged Edge), this track is filled with a ton of talent that captures your attention with every line. Produced by Keyboard Kid, the backdrop for this track is the perfect setup for melancholy and enraged delivery from Neema. This is definitely a track that will put Neema on my radar for a while, which is a good thing because his upcoming LP The Cigar Room, is coming out May 29th.

          I am more of the guy electro guy and this flow of hip hop kinda isn’t my fav, just more electro or indie would be awesome, just keep those two genres running and i will keep on being a fan of the kollection. Just currently i am losing my faith in the kollection.

            I agree and Im glad someone else is voicing their opposition. It really does fucking blow, I dont even understand why most songs arent downloadable?

            Elevate – Sid Sriram feat. Sonny Shotz

            Sid Sriram has been on the down low lately in the music game, besides his feature on The Dean’s List hit Youth. His soulful voice gives this Weeknd-esque track and enchanting feel to caress your eardrums on top of some light piano keys and synths. Sonny Shotz’ feature is short and sweet, adding the perfect touch of sensual hip hop into the mix. Although this isn’t for download, definitely give this one a listen!

                Phil, unfortunately Sid Sriram’s Soundcloud download limit has been reached. So until there is an alternative download link/file posted, there’s no download. I’ll be on the lookout for ya though

              In the Corner – Dylan Owen Ft. Kinetics Video

              Dylan Owen, one of the great storytellers of his rapping generation, has released his video for “In the Corner” from the recent successful K.Y.F.C. mixtape. Like the piano-driven track, this video keeps it simple with its visualizations but paints a clear picture of love and loss. Those high-pitched vocals on the chorus add a chilling factor, but we more importantly can’t ignore Owen’s incredible, perfectly-enunciated lyrical delivery that’s stolen attention since day one. Download one of the best tracks of the mixtape above, and experience the visuals below.

              Support Dylan through Facebook.
