Asher Roth - Tangerine Girl

More groove and less rap, this beat is fun and gets me moving. The video floats somewhere between hilarious, sad, and porn, so we'll just stick with the song here. Feel free to watch the YouTube version to potentially provide some context.

Nocando - Break Even

Muted horns are awesome! Combined with that clean low piano and a good bass drop. I live by the beat.

King Los - Woke Up Like This

Just un-signed with Bad Boy, yet to release a full album, and his 11th mixtape coming out shortly. Also, find him freestyle on Sway in the morning like a boss. Nothing like trash-talking the host.
My kitchen look like Benihana's...

Alter)ring - Infinitely Gentle Blows (Scott Hardkiss Aural Hallucination Mix) from "Groove"

The wind-down song that wraps up the movie Groove. You'll be as exhausted as the people in the movie by the 9th minute of this, but it's fun to hear the sounds change over the course of the track.

Doley Bernays & Euro League - ReeLife Sound Part 2

Reminds me of one of the beats off the Groove Soundtrack. Much harder and less spacey, but hey, this ain't your aughts techno. Next post.

Chance The Rapper - Save Yourself First

I listened to it once and thought it needed more... After a few more listens I stopped wanting it to drop into some big crazy sound and really started enjoying it for its quiet smoothness. That ultra-light double-time hat sound is so cool.

B.o.B. - Get It

I dig the soul samples. Chorus and some sick organ. The sample at the beginning is slowed so hard it warbles a little rough, but it doesn't dectract from the song overall. It wouldn't surprise me if this track gets popular, but I'll have to check with my girlfriend as to its radio-worthiness.

Cracks me up, I'm finding music so soon after they get posted to the internet that there isn't even a Rap Genius page for 'em.... I actually have to listen to the lyrics to find out what he says. Heck if I know. I'll check with my girlfriend for that too.
Back to the beat drop.

Euro League - Gold Chains In A Dungeon

I think it's Doley's rhymes that sound like Big L. Hardcore NY rap. 2014 sounding like some freestyle Stretch & Bobbito '95ish. Euro League is similarly hardcore sounding but a little less wild. Good smooth beat.

Ray Bop - God of Flows II

Can't even find this stuff on youtube... but it's all over rdio and spotify. Great beat and great flow. Guess he named this track right.

Rick Ross Feat. Big Sean, Kanye West - Sanctified

All I want's 100 million dollars and a bad b****. Now it's Kanye and Rick's turn to take a shot at a verse after that line.

Kanye's lines constantly crack me up. 'Wipe my forehead with a hankerchief' (you gotta hear him say it to really understand), and his last line is delivered perfectly. Kanye's flow on this track is fantastically acrobatic and contrasts well with the no-nonsense (or much of anything else) flow of Rick Ross.

Big Sean - Sanctified

Apparently this verse didn't make the final cut on the Rick Ross track, so he went and dropped it on his own. How about that. Next up, The other verses.

Lupe Fiasco & Ab -Soul - Thorns & Horns

Lupe is crazy with wordplay as always, and Ab-Soul can keep up. The beat sounds like a sample from G-Eazy's 'Almost Famous' or more likely, they both sample something similar.

Kid Ink - Work's Never Over Feat. Raekwon

To all the killers and hundred dollar billers...
This is a great example of how you turn an oldschool hardcore rap beat into 2014 trap music. Drop heavier 808's and a double-time hat/clap and you're almost there. I've always wanted that beat to come down harder, and this begs to be cranked.

John Newman - Love Me Again

It's like Moby meets the swingin' 60's? I don't even know, but it is definitely awesome. Also, watch the end of the video for a surprise - Rabbit in Your Headlights-style.
