Johnny Graves and Konrad OldMoney flip Justin Bieber’s No Pressure

Well we got some brave moves here kids.

Turns out the 604 locals Johnny Graves and Konrad OldMoney flipped a Biebs song into something less candy. Big Sean would most likely not object. Give er a listen.

Guap. Izzle.

!llmind unleashes BLAP001 (Beats Love And Party Mix)

!llmind just dropped a mixtape on his Soundcloud, featuring a slew of talented producers from all over North America, including some sounds from our very own Vancouver boy Konrad OldMoney

!llmind describes it as  “A refreshing collection of beats and songs you never heard yet, but probably should.”

  • And you definitely should. The project features beats from Carmack, Esta, Symbolyc, Raekwon and Aloe Blacc just to name a few. Heart, repost, show support if you dig what you hear.

Guap.out.

Zhu x Skrillex x THEY – Working for it (Zane Lowe world premiere)

So, in recent news, Zhu and Skrillex decided to sing together.
And to top it off they enlisted the skills of up-and-coming rappers named “THEY”.
And the result is a song called “Working for it”. This is a dope lil number kids so don’t sleep!

If Jack U doesn’t drop it in all of their upcoming sets I’d be surprised. The production quality is top notch and we’d be surprised if these two didn’t work on anything else in the future.
Zhu’s Genesis Project concludes with this track and it’s been a crazy run putting out tracks with AlunaGeorge, Bone Thugz, Gallant and many more. He showed the world that he has way more in store for us following his Nightday EP and we’re excited to find out what comes next.
Zhu released these tracks in a unique way rather than putting out an EP and it couldn’t have worked out better.What comes next from this enigma? well thats always a question, but based on his past projects it’s going to be something wavy as fuck.
– your poppa Guap.

 

KRNE is dope. I think his name is pronounced Krane?

Four score and not long ago, the homie KRNE posted this diddy on his lil soundclizzle.

He is – in my humble, drug fuelled opinion, a very technically sound producer. Which would normally point to him being some lame engineer. But homie has mad amounts of shhhwwiinnggg. So I imagine him being pretty cooollll.

yo momma’s – Guap.

Let’s save some boobs people!! The Pegboard Nerds Pink Cloud Campaign

OK kids. I am a huuuuggeee feminist. serious. That, and most of my time is spent trolling the internet for sizzurp induced audio treats… Well, once in a while we get the opportunity to show support for our women, and be selfless dudes and gals. So as I became aware of this campaign when posting their new single with young Johnny Graves, I figured I would go full tilt and support it with all my prune-like heart’s strength.

Today the Pegboard Nerds have released their first EP in a long long time.

pegboard-nerds-pink-cloud-ep-is-tackling-breast-cancer-one-wobble-at-a-time-1445458018

Most people know them for their contribution to the Dubstep and hard bass music scene. Well, this my friends, is a newer sound to the Nerds. It is something incredible. Each track brings something new to the table and these guys are two of the most talented producers in EDM. Besides the music, it’s all for charity!

 On October 1st the Pegboard Nerds released “Pink Cloud” ft. Max Collins and announced that they are on a quest to fight breast cancer and have partnered up with F*ck Cancer and Monstercat to raise money for Breast Cancer early detection prevention and awareness.

On October 9th, they followed up with “Just Like That” featuring 17 year old Johnny Graves alongside Konrad OldMoney. The song was an instant hit and had some of the Pegboard Nerds typical sound mixed in to a melodic chill song with an amazing drop. Here is the jump

At this point the Nerds have almost raised $20,000 and last week they released a highly anticipated song “Emoji”. Parsberg of the Nerds once played the song live and shared “This is our song Emoji, it’s never coming out.” Well, he tricked all of Nerd Nation and gave the world a hit that was also featured in Don Diablo’s Hexagon radio show.

Today the Nerds are going to blow past raising $20,000 for breast cancer and release the EP which you can buy on iTunes or PegboardNerds.com. All of the proceeds from both go to the cause and these guys are bringing people together with their music. “Downhearted” and “End Is Near” were the final two tracks to be released and they came out today. “End is Near” is the classic “Fire in the Hole” track from the Nerds turned into a VIP version. Odden’s unique vocals help make the song a banger and “Downhearted” is a unique sound from the Nerds but ties into together with this whole EP.

I got a chance to talk to these Parsberg and Odden guys. And the campaign does not stop here. They have a lot in store for the rest of 2015 and are excited for the new year as well. Help support the cause at pegboardnerds.com !!

Mobb Deep – Dirt

Mobb Deep the legends of real hiphop. Man, I grew up on these guys. Not many rap groups have kept it up for as long as these guys have. Celebrated by the entire community from coast to coast. Well, we have something new for you guys. We heard that they were locked in at Sound Association in New York along with a bunch of notable hiphop heads, working on some new heat and here it is. Song called Dirt. Click and enjoy kids.

Also , be on the lookout for the new Joell Ortiz album on the way, called HUMAN. We had the privilege of getting a sneak preview at Sound Association of what that sounds like. Let’s just say our ears are still numb ;)
