Villa Medema – Out Of My System

Denver based Villa Medema has been steady blipping on the come up radar. From Akon sampling original, to remix and back now to original. Thus far there have been some pretty choice samples and very nice synth work. This one comes the fresh off the presses and the two track EP ‘Bye Bye‘ . Do the get to know and follow.

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.

GERMAN WHIP – Meridian Dan ft Big H & JME

Grime emcees are in my opinion, the fuckin future.

For those of you who might not be familiar with JME, now you are. And his homies. The Boybetterknow movement is real!
