As I just got done explaining over on the mothership, ¡MAYDAY!'s new "Take Me To Your Leader" is really good, like really fucking good. And because the Miami crew apparently doesn't sleep, they quickly followed the album release with one of the doper actual remixes you're going to hear. Listen and download...

Who Wants Dope New Music From Jon Connor, Voli & SMKA? (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 06/20/11 | Filed under Downloads, SMKA, Jon Connor, Voli

I'm way too involved to be objective, but lucky for me the music for "The Report" sounds so dope I can back up and the bragging and boasting. Seriously. Take a listen to the first two releases, Jon Connor's "Money Come Fast" and Voli's "Righteous Remain" and tell me they're not ill. Go ahead, I'll wait. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Jon Connor Pulls Off “The Heist” (Listen & Download)

I realized today that despite a guest spot or two, I haven't actually given Jon Connor a solo feature. Let's get that corrected, shall we? Produced by Elite, who you can usually find hanging around J. Cole, new release "The Heist" is exactly the type of joint that been's getting Connor some well deserved hype over the last few months.

After spending a few days this week going off the hip-hop reservation with new music from Spree Wilson, Blaqstarr and The Chuckness, it feels good to get back to some good old fashioned Rap Nerdery When I first heard Maffew Ragazino's new cut, "1995", I knew I recognized that Hi-Tek beat

The Only Two Tracks off DJ Kay Slay’s Mixtape You Care About (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/07/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Kendrick Lamar, Raekwon, Busta Rhymes, Styles P, Jon Connor, Posse Cuts, Kay Slay, Sheek Louch

I just realized that in many ways I launched RefinedHype because of DJ Kay Slay. I'd prefer not to be screamed at by Slay the next time I'm in NYC, but I have to be honest - 90% of what the man does is forgettable at best. But every so often, like on "60 Second Assassins", he comes through with a pretty ill cut. That's what I'm here for, to wade through the hype and only give you the good shit. Listen and download...
