Treasure Fingers & BOSCO – MYNE

Atlanta based Treasure Fingers loves to shut things down apparently. Its basically a lifestyle. His second collaboration with also Atlanta based BOSCO (out on Fools Gold), is testament to how he has been crushing dance floors consistently through the times and styles. Its amazing to realize someone has been slaying dance floors so well since as far back as the Blog House days, up until now. Not to mention his surprising spot on Young Thugs #SlimeSeason 2, which is too too appropriately Atlanta.

Too Attached – Monsoon

Vancouver based beat maker Shamik combined forces with his brother of the opposite Canadian Coast in Toronto, Vivek Shraya, for a new EP conjoining the two coasts and mediums. Vancouver beats, Toronto vocals. Sounds like a Canadian axis that should be tapped more and more often no? After all, Canadians are dominating music these days. Why not more in house?
