For the rest of us who've been on the XV ride for a minute, think of this as more of a celebration, and a place to grab all your favorite Vizzy cuts in one place. Applaud the man - now comes the hard part. Listen and download...
Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present the greatest thing since internet porn, the "Best of the Booth Vol. 3" mixtape! Actually, bad example. Let's try again...I proudly present "Best of the Vol. 3", the greatest thing since "Vol. 1" and "Vol. 2"! There you go, that's more like it. Listen and download...
With my beloved Celtics getting spanked like a red-headed stepchild last night I could use something to instill a little hometown pride, something like Statik Selektah and Termanology's new track "The Darkest Cloud". Listen and download...
As he prepares to release his new mixtape "Brinks Boys 2", the Chef has joined the long ABC-rhyme history with the release of his new track "Alphabet Soup", which goes through every letter of the alphabet in order. If the concept sounds familiar, that's probably because Papoose dropped his "Alphabet Slaughter" way back in 2004. See more...
After the disappointment that was the latest edition of "Beamer, Benz or Bentley", I thought it was only right to give remixes a good name again with K. Sparks' new "Blue Swing (Remix)". Here, the almost impossibly productive emcee Sparks recruits fellow RefinedHype favorites Beyond Belief and Logics (of ArtOfficial fame), in addition to newcomers Gripz and Jabee.

Although I'm blessed enough to be able to work in hip-hop full time now, it took years of working shitty jobs to get to where I am today. Here with a new working man anthem is (relative) newcomer Whitefolkz and his aptly-titled mixtape track "J.O.B." Produced by DJ Soundtrax and also featuring RefinedHype favorite K-Beta. "J.O.B." is a song everyone can relate to. Listen and download...

Charles Hamilton seems like one of those guys who it might be really awkward to be stuck talking to at a party. Not that I'm basing that conjecture on anything beyond the fact that he's done and said some sorta crazy stuff, and that he has an elaborate life philosophy based on Sonic the Hedgehog games. And that most definitely doesn't make it any less cool that he's Chipmunk-ized The Cars' "Just What I Needed" for the latest of several leaks leading up to the release of his next single.

Preparing to showcase the songs that didn't make last year's "The Kendrick Lamar EP" on his aptly-named "The Songs That Didn't Make the Kendrick Lamar EP" (OK, you probably didn't need me to spell that one out), Compton phenom Kendrick Lamar has cooked up a new video with the help of DJ Dave. Featuring spectacularly dope leaked track "The Heart Pt. 1," the video gives fans a glimpse into the artist's daily activities, from record-shopping to putting on one hell of a live show.
