M.I.C. ft. YG - "ON HIT"

On January 1st, you do some usual stuffs like sleeping in your vomit, or putting pancakes on your eyes to clean your over-the-top headache. But the last thing you'd want is a party banger that'll finish to kill your ears. Hopefully, we're January 2nd, so no excuses here !

The new year began quietly, with a few new songs released, but if you look carefully, you always find something that may improve your hangover day after. So here we have that new M.I.C. beat coming straight from the vault to remind you that 2014 is just beginning. With the participation of Compton rapper YG (short for Young Gangsta....yep, original !), this M.I.C. song has only one goal : telling you that "the party on hit". Well people, in less than 3 minutes, you ain't gonna drop some classic Kendrick lyricism, let's be honest ! So because the year won't be cool economically speaking, and because the tendencies are leading to a global depressing mood, the least we can do is having fun. A lot ! So let's jump, the party on hit !

Attitude ft. Timbaland & Twista - "STUNT"

It's been a pretty busy year for Timbo. He produced both Justin Timberlake's albums "The 20/20 Experience", reforming the Timb Team after a seven years hiatus, and he also highly participated to Jay Z's last effort, "Magna Carta Holy Grail". With such a schedule, we could wonder when is he going to drop his own next album, but obviously it won't be in 2K13 as expected by his fans. Listen closely, you can hear 'em mourning and pouring tears over Nelly Furtado's posters...

Now that he's got a little more time to work on his new solo project, be sure you're gonna hear some new material in the next months. And actually, a new song dropped yesterday (coincidence at its best), performed by long-time protégé Attitude, Twista and Timbo himself. Of course, the production was handled by Mister "Big Pimpin", "Ayo Technology" and "Deliverance" (to mention a few), and the result is a good-for-your-ears instrumental you'll whistle the whole day (or week, or month, or..) ! Twista's supersonic flow fits perfectly with the beat, kicks and claps, and balance pretty well with Attitude and Timbo's minor verses. Of course, bars like "this shit is easy, I need a challenge" or "taking high club, yeah I want it all" probably won't hit the lyrics Hall of Fame, but you rarely expect that from Timbo's songs, let's be honest. So all we have to do now is to wait for his new project, "Textbook Timbo" (yeah it won't be "Shock Value 3", people) and its tracklist and featurings that will surely be huge and eclectic, as usual. You can already check out his new joint "What u know about me" feat Drake, while stars are illuminating your fan's eyes !

Hozier - "TAKE ME TO CHURCH"

Irish singer Andrew Hozier-Byrne brought us a new free EP recently, with the title-track still ringing in our ears for a bunch of weeks. Such a voice'll give you goosebumps, and if not, well, the music will.

Moko - "HONEY COCAINE"

Suit up ! You have a party tonight, you put on your best outfits cuz you wanna look good and desirable. Oh, and there's this Moko song playing in the background of your room, so you know you won't fail. #bosslife

David Dallas - "RUNNIN'"

There was a time when a new FIFA game's soundtrack's always supported by a Moby song. But we're in 2014 (well, soon) and this time it was up to David Dallas to take the spot with some hip-hop stuff. Score, people !

Eminem ft. Kendrick Lamar - "LOVE GAME"

Eminem's long awaited new album is dropping next tuesday worldwide. If the whole package surely makes fans going crazy in the queue of iTunes, one of the most expected song on it is clearly the duet with Kendrick Lamar. The union of the two hip-hop MVPs generated a lot of speculations among the social networks : Is Kendrick gonna upstage the self-proclaimed "rap God" ? Is Eminem going to murder is Aftermath pal on the mic to end any sort of competition between both ?

Actually, it's neither one nor the other. Both MCs just seem to have a good fun on the mic while murdering the crazy beat delivered by Rick Rubin. Impersonating characters, giving prank calls, making fun of fellow rappers all along the track, here's the song idea. Although it may (but shouldn't) disappoint people who wanted some legendary verses with explosive lyrics and supersonic speed, like a sort of 2013 hip-hop classic, this tune's still impressive in its own way. And it will definitely have every other rappers making a mess in their trousers when they'll see how high the step is to compete with both Em and Kendrick. Two weeks after recording the song, Kendrick gave hip-hop a new birth with his highly controversial verse on Big Sean's "Control" (the Los Angeles native proclaiming he's the king of New-York and inviting fellow rappers to elevate their game). And in October, Eminem delivered "Rap God", the song that closes the debate of who is the best rapper ever. Sorry people, but these two are on the upper scale of greatness, looking at you from the clouds with a 100 inch telescope.

Two generations of hip-hop delivering this fall's anthem, you can't do nothing about it, except dealing with the Aftermath.

Horseshoe G.A.N.G. - "MY LAST SONG"

West Coast rap collective Horseshoe G.A.N.G is back with a new hit song that may lead us to some new mixtape in the very next days. The song is closer to the earlier soulful Long Beach flow (where they're from) that artists like Nate Dogg or Warren G elevated to its best in the 90's, and the song's 5 minutes length is a great chilling moment thanks to Tabu's soft production and strings. And people who prefer the "hardcore gangsta rap" side of West Coast music can check what Horseshoe G.A.N.G. members' brother Crooked I's done with his band Slaughterhouse in the BET Cypher 2013 this week, it is worth the shot.

E-Dubble - "BACKSEAT"

Philadelphian rapper E-Dubble has gained a pretty good notoriety over the past few years, mainly thanks to his Soundcloud community. Although is not well-known yet, successful songs like "Big Ships" or "Cycle Of Nightmares" allow him to get more confident and hungry in his way to hugeness, but for now he keeps pairing with fellow producer Vini Vici for his new single "Backseat". The beat is like glue for your ears, and if humorous lyrics aren't something you usually ban from hip-hop, this song's gonna make your week, if not more...
