It is a privilege to bring to you an exclusive collaboration between Potholes & KevinNottingham today, Better Late Than Never. With Trav Williams on the raps and Moonchild on the boards, these two cook up an EP for the internet ages. With the EP, we all receive word that Trav will be prepping his official HiPNOTT Records release, The Elixir, in November. As we wait on that, give this fine project a spin and be sure to let us know what you think…

Before we begin here, I have to extend a major props to Grillade (Keelay, The Park and Ragen Fykes) for stepping outside the box and creating some of the freshest music I have heard in a long time. This remix of an M64 (Ragen Fykes & Ohmega Watts) classic is a funky jam that will have your head nodding and your hips grooving. This was released in conjunction with Record Breakin Music as a special exclusive of their favorite M64 track. Give it a spin and be sure to come back to let us know what you think….

The homie Kam Moye drops a fresh video today for one of my favorite cuts off the latest album with the same name, “Splitting Image”. This one features some insightful rhymes and a soothing hook from Neenah. Give it a view and share some thoughts…

I am a big fan of Danny Brown, but fan of the year definitely goes to Andrew Martin who has been quoting his raps constantly for the past month. What makes Mr. Brown so special? I am not really sure. But what I am sure of, is that this Detroit emcee is simply one of the most interesting emcees to come out in recent years. This mixtape right here features Guilty Simpson, T3, Trick Trick, Black Milk, Waajeed, DJ Babu, Danny! and more. And if you have been paying attention to Potholes or any of the other hip-hop blogs, then you know that Danny drops his album, The Hybrid, March 16th. The Potholes crew has been bumping that for the past few weeks and all I can say is WOW! Give this mixtape a spin and let us know what you think… [Via FWMJ]

Have a happy weekend…

If it is hip-hop you are looking for, you just hit the jackpot. Co$$ comes correct today with an ill banger today, making things look easy on the microphone. It’s nice to get another song from the Los Angeles emcee, but I am starting to doubt whether or not we are going to start seeing some cuts off the highly anticipated Tres debut LP any time soon. I am being assured that that will be coming soon though, so here’s hoping! For now, give this record a spin and let us know what you think…

Fly Gypsy dropped a killer album last year, and now we start to pick up some tracks that show the duo’s true versatility. This remix track right here features a true banger of a beat and Brooklyn-inspired lyrics to create Bucktown anthem for the ages. Even though this was just a freebie track, the guys managed to throw together some clean, high quality visuals. Check out the video and give the song a download as well!
