Fairfield’s hip-hop/electro music blog is back again with another hit playlist. Check out www.StagsFlow.com to download all of the songs on the list.
“Pump It Up (Original Mix)” by Markus Cole & Mikal Minhas
Another great party track from the 17-year-old Canadian house sensation Markus Cole. He’s been on a single releasing spree lately, and this one with Mikal Minhas is another great upbeat house track. Remember the name Markus Cole because you’ll undoubtedly be hearing a lot about him very soon.
“Believe In Me” by Outasight
Outasight has become one of my favorite artists, with some of his singles on constant repeat. What he does best is find a way to combine hip-hop, pop, indie and a little electro into his own niche genre. He has recently dropped a new single “Believe In Me,” which is a deeper blend of indie and soul production but still features Outasight’s signature sound.
“NewLA” by Joe Cool
Joe Cool’s latest single “NewLA” has instantly shot up to one of the most played songs on my iPod. His flow is incredibly smooth on this track, which he made to rep his home state of Louisiana. Having just picked up a sponsorship from LRG and a lot of high profile interviews, Joe Cool is another up-and-comer to keep an eye on. He’s got big things in his future.
“Victory Lap” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
One of the best producer/MC duos in hip-hop, Seattle natives Macklemore and Ryan Lewis released this track “Victory Lap” for the XXL Freshman Class Mixtape. It essentially commemorates how far they’ve come in such a short time. Be sure to check out the official music video, which is up on the site. It’s a feel-good song, and I challenge you to watch the video and not come away feeling happy.
“Ride With Us” by Tayyib Ali feat. Cisco Adler
Another great track from the young Philly rapper Tayyib Ali. He had Tweeted about being in the studio with Cisco Adler of Shwayze a little while ago, making his followers anxious for the drop of the single. It definitely has a Shwayze-like feel and is another perfect summertime track.
“No Faith In Brooklyn” by Hoodie Allen feat. Jahmeel
Hoodie Allen shocked the music world this week when his EP “All American” took the top spot on the iTunes albums charts. It stayed at number 1 for several days and is still well within the top 25. Congratulations to Hoodie, who did everything from production of the EP to the videos completely independently. Support a great artist and buy the EP “All American” on iTunes now.
“Animal” by Travi$ Scott feat. T.I.
This week’s playlist has a lot of these up-and-coming artists, but you need to remember the name Travi$ Scott. He is on his way to being one of the biggest names in hip-hop. He released his first singles a mere two or three months ago and he’s already in the lab with the likes of T.I. and garnering comparisons to Kanye. Don’t sleep on T.I. these days either; he kills this track.
“Giants” by Josh Osho feat. Childish Gambino
You’ll listen to this song because of Gambino’s name, but you’ll leave a new fan of Josh Osho. The only reason I clicked play on this song was because Gambino was featured on it, but Josh Osho’s voice is unbelievable. The combination works perfectly and it’s a hit. Definitely one you are going to want to check out.
