Quick History: Detroit’s own Mike Posner had a meteoric rise to fame here in the US in 2010 with his smash single, Cooler Than Me. Not as well known is that this singer, songwriter and producer produced & released his 2nd mixtape (A Matter of Time) in 2009 from his dorm room at Duke University …
Longtime readers of Beathau5 will know that XV is one of the few rappers who I really rave about as he adds something refreshing to the rap game. XV hails from Kansas, but has recently signed with Warner music and definitely seems to be headed for the big time. Check this out. U.F.C. (feat. Kristina …
I know I get a lot of hate for the RnB/HipHop posts from all the househeads, but this seriously is a sick chill tune. Taken from the soundtrack to the upcoming film “Mac and Devin Go to High School”, Snoop and Wiz rap over the chilled beat, whilst Bruno Mars guest features with the hook, …
I rate this so highly. Childish Gambino who has to be one of my favourite rappers of all time, produces this massive tune which takes the part of a tirade against everyone, and is spat over a sick beat. He almost reminds me of Kanye (biggest compliment I can pay to a rapper) with the …
Seattle duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis once again join forces on this sick tune which is rumoured to be released later this year or at the start of next year. Make That Money is a reminiscing tune based on a sick piano riff whilst the duo spit the raps over the top. I rate this …
If you forget the fact that this Foster the People tune is incredibly well known, the obscenely talented YONAS puts his own sick rhymes and production over the top of this tune. Not too overcomplicated, without the autotune and obscure synth progressions that seem to dominate rap music these days, YONAS continues his inexorable rise …
Here’s a refreshing change. I often find with rap music that in this Minaj/T-Pain era, a lot of it is autotuned to fuck, and overly mastered so that it loses it’s natural feel. Here is something completely different. XV takes a slow Inception sample and raps a sick verse over the top of it. The …
T-Pain has always been a controversial artist, whether it be his constant autotuned style, or his collaborations that don’t necessarily have much musical merit, and if you’re in the negative camp, we are unsure as to how you will feel about him taking Lily Allen’s quiet love song “Who’d Have Known” from her sophomore album …
First off, for some reason I can only get the clean edit of this, I will update this post as soon as I can get the explicit. Tinie Tempah adds massive remix of his tune Till I’m Gone, which seems sure to help push it further up the Billboard Rap 200 by including more well …
Wretch32 releases his new album Black & White, and for me this is the stand out track. Delilah provides the mesmerising vocals which, when allied with a poignant piano riff provides the perfect setting for some heartfelt rhymes from the Tottenham based rapper. I recommend the entire album, but for me this was the stand …
