Kings Of The City - No Guts EP (Hip Hop / Rap)

This is the first part of King Of The City's new double EP No Guts that was released about five days ago. Unfortunately with my starting of a new job I haven't had time to keep up with the tunes as they are released but rest assured the wait only makes it better. This five track masterpiece lives up to their self proclaimed sound of Wu - Tang meets the Beatles, gritty brit pop mixed with smooth electro and absolutely top notch vocals be they singing or rap. So grab it up and excuse my coma.

1. The Devil
2. The Forests of Babylon
3. Haribos
4. Mad Men
5. Dust at the Heel of Horror

3LAU - Dance Floor Filth 2 (Dubstep / Mashup)

Ladies and gentlemen 3LAU is at it again, with his second installment of Dance Floor Filth, a twelve strong collection of hard hitting bootlegs and edits, your night life will never be the same. Again, another extremely talented young man in the electronic field, at just 21 Justin "3LAU" has been rocking clubs round the world with his amazing blend of top 40 hits and electro beats, branching from house to dubstep and back again. His first album represented my first successful attempt to bridge my music with my friends, which went surprisingly well, but this style requires me to tone it down in places where I need to uphold my hipster image, "its just a remix" doesn't work anymore. Also just a warning driving to this is the most fun you'll have in a car, watch the limits.

1. Action
2. Guilty Pleasure
3. H8
4. B#tch City
5. Modern Talking
6. Lick It
7. Love Control
8. Jupiter Unison
9. Petty Language
10. Set Fire
11. These Are The Days
12. Back To New

Upper West - West Side Stories (Rap / Hip Hop)

Lets just start this off by saying I've been keeping up with a lot of frat rap and hip hop these days, and the game is seriously lacking, the duo that is Upper West have restored my faith, or at least gained a new fan. But don't my uneducated label scare you, this album is top notch electro hip hop, my favorite rap album in a long time. They're also responsible for the best colab I've heard in a long time; Dougie, Jfink, Gabriel Stark, Reef and Sarah Solovay, so with that listen on and be amazed.
