Listen: Scoop DeVille Shares “Poetic Justice” Instrumental for Kendrick Lamar

It’s been a huge past few week for Kendrick Lamar‘s “Poetic Justice” single featuring Drake that was produced by Scoop DeVille. It went gold last Wednesday and last night, DeVille wrote that the song went No. 1 on urban radio…

Sundrenched – Emerald [EP]

It’s been about five months since we previously heard from Floridian producer Sundrenched, who in November 2012 dropped the Beat Studies, Vol. II compilation. We’ve kept our ear to the virtual ground waiting for some new material from him, though, and that’s…

Simon SMTHNG – Kami No Itte [EP]

After doing the remix thing earlier this year with a synth-y flip of Justin Timberlake’s “My Love“, East Coast producer Simon SMTHNG returns with a new project in Kami No Itte. It’s a languid eight-track offering that centers on samples of…

Busdriver & Loden – Beaus​$​Eros Instrumentals [Album]

Last year, Busdriver teamed up with Brussels producer Loden for the incredibly rad, albeit slept-on, Beaus$Eros. It feels like too many heads are quick to dismiss the L.A. rapper’s approach as eccentricity for, well, eccentricity’s sake. His bars hit you at…

Shag – Flyrule: A Terrible Fate [Album]

Prior to August 2011, Shag had released at least 10 projects filled with head-nodding instrumentals. But that month, everything changed for the young Texas producer. He dropped the incredibly successful Flyrule, a project dedicated to (my favorite game of all time) The…

Cashmere Cat – “Aurora”

Indie Belgium label Pelican Fly released a new EP today, Feathers, highlighting the work of some of their favorite artists, including Norwegian producer Cashmere Cat. His track is a hard-hitting, albeit not entirely in your face, instrumental banger that demands the…

Juj – Walnut [Album Stream]

One of my favorite producers these past few years has been Los Angeles’ Juj. We might not post him all the time, but there’s a good reason for that. His output is reasonably limited, as dude tends to focus on…

Souleance – La Beat Tape [Album Stream]

So … I heard you like beats. Well, if that’s the case, you’re in a ridiculous amount of luck, because Souleance’s La Beat Tape has neck-snapping instrumentals by the pound. The French duo of producer Fulgeance and DJ Soulist dug into…

Evil Needle – “Gliding in the Mist”

On this most loved-up of days, French producer Evil Needle chose to share a beyond-mellow new cut, the aptly titled “Gliding in the Mist”. Why is the song name so fitting? Because it literally sounds like how it would feel…
