Video: Reef The Lost Cauze - "Moonshine"

Reef The Lost Cauze continues to be one of the most slept-on Philly ambassadors and MCs in the game. His voice always commands attention over beats with a mix of honest life struggles and support for his fellow hip hop nation. He recently dropped the single "Moonshine" as a preview for the upcoming album "Sirens on Snyder Ep" (SOS) with a bluesy beat from Haj of Dumhi. Maybe i'm just a sucker for any time a producer slices up a delta blues track with hip hop drums, but I am digging this track a lot. Check the video out above, directed by Sick Six, and support Reef's new album when it drops.

Video: Wrekonize - "Anxiety Attacks"

Appropriate for a Monday morning, Wrekonize recently dropped the video from his upcoming album "The War Within" for the single "Anxiety Attacks" and the results are a chilled out, introspective look at the stress of everyday life. Typically, the Strange Music family (Tech N9ne, etc.) bring excited, multi-syllable, genre-bending music to the table, but this more laid back track strikes a chord for slowing down and thinking about your day. Check it out and stay tuned for more from Wrek and the Strange Music crew in the future.

Listen: GQ - "Death Threats and Love Notes: The Prelude"

Jamla Records artist and former University of North Carolina baller-turned-emcee GQ recently dropped his 9th Wonder-endorsed album "Death Threats and Love Notes: The Prelude" as a free download on The DJBooth. This project serves as a preview of his official sophomore Jamla album later this year. The features lean heavy on the Jamla roster but showcase the classy, soul-infused beats known from 9th Wonder's camp. Guests include Carlitta Durand, Rapsody and Rocki Evans and production from 9th Wonder, Khrysis, The Soul Council and many more (plus 5 bonus instrumentals). The album shows GQ's mix of Oakland-rasied Cali pride and down south (North Carolina) story teller over laid back tracks and makes a solid showcase for future projects. Check it out and stay tuned for more quality music from the Jamla crew.
