1. Soul II Soul – Back To Life
I love the indie feel of this song. The production is timeless and captivating. Drop it in your opening set and/or in a mixtape. 2. Wale – Get Me Doe 3. Stacks & Trina – Don’t Kiss Deez |
1. Justin Timberlake – Suit & Tie
JT, Jay-Z, & Timbo? Not convinced this will wind up being a hit, but the artist lineup alone makes this track worthy of being highlighted as a staff pick. 2. Classified – Inner Ninja 3. Sub Focus – Tidal Wave |

1. Ciara – Wake Up, No Make-up
Hoodsexy™. This woman is one of the few gifted women who can make hood sexy. She’s back on that “Ride” swag with this track. 2. Cazzette – Beam Me Up (Kill Mode)
This was actually released a while back but flew under the radar. It’s a big-room track that’s been on my playlist for a minute. Huge energy. 3. Wale – The One Eye Kitten Song
The title alone makes this an automatic hit. Wale lyrically gives this track a good bounce. It’s one of those tracks that girls be dancin’ and singin’ to. |
1. Dada Life – So Young So High – Anybody Remix
The original version is dope but Anybody beefed up the production with a heavy bassline and just enough wobbles to keep your dance floor packed and your face screwed. 2. Smookie Illson & Knuckle Children – Iced Out
Smookie Illson & Knuckle Children just set the bar for original Trap House. Be on the look-out for more massive releases and original production from these guys. 3. Juelz Santana – Soft
Juelz is back and with a vengeance! He teams up with MMG and absolutely murders this beat produced by Young Shun. Don’t sleep on this record. |

1. Jakwob – Fade
Maiday’s haunting vocal fits Jakwobs production perfectly. A great introduction to a future star and stand-out production from Jakwob. 2. A$AP Rocky – Wild For The Night
I couldn’t have guessed this collab – A$AP meets Skrillex. This is a real party rocker. A$AP’s flow sounds wicked over the Skrillex production. 3. Labrinth – Under The Knife
I get excited everytime I hear a track with Etta Bond and this is no exception. Labrinth is, as always, in top form with the production elements and Etta sounds beaut. |
1. A$AP Rocky – F#ckin’ Problems
I’m really impressed with the big-name featured artists. This track is definitely on heavy rotation in the club and is a MUST PLAY in hip hop sets. 2. Big Sean, Pusha T, 2 Chainz & Kanye West – Mercy – RL Grime & Salva Remix
THIS IS IT from popular trap house. Mixing from the original version has become a standard. I’m personally stoked with RL Grime & Salva. 3. Showtek & Justin Prime – Cannonball
Sick EDM track. This track is crucial in a big room – after all, EDM is a big deal in primetime sets lately. |
