Looks Like The Only Person Who Doesn’t Think Pusha T’s “Exodus 23:1” Is Dope Is Lil Wayne (Listen)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 05/24/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Pusha T, The Dream

G.O.O.D. Music rapper Pusha T is hurting feels on his latest single titled "Exodus 23:1" and I do mean that literally. Just ask Lil Wayne who took to his Twitter account for this pleasant post: "Fuk Pusha T and anybody that love em." If a song as dope as "Exodus 23:1" has to include subliminals aimed at Cash Money then you're just going to have to deal with it Weezy.

Kendrick Lamar, “War Is My Love” & The Rise of Video Game Hip-Hop (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/21/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Kendrick Lamar

Following closely on the heels of that "9 Circulos (Remix)", Kendrick Lamar hits the studio with constant production partner Soundwave for "War Is My Love", a surprisingly slow-paced and not at all surprisingly lyrical cut inspired by the upcoming "Ghost Recon: Future Soldier" game.

Childish Gambino Insists “We Ain’t Them”, Ain’t That the Truth (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/18/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Childish Gambino

Now that's more like it. I'll take some Childish Gambino like "We Ain't Them" over "Unnecessary" and day. The man's strong suit is just inarguably more personal, autobiographical tracks. That doesn't mean Gambino can't go hard, but "We Ain't Them" is the kind of shit I connect with much more strongly. Listen and download...

I Defy You Not to Feel King Mez’ “Monte Carlo” (Listen, Download & Video)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/16/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, King Mez

On the real I've lost track of how many dudes I've called "most slept on" but I'll say this - the amount of attention King Mez is getting is nowhere near the amount of attention he should be getting. I mean, are you hearing this "Monte Carlo" shit? Fuck, tell me this isn't some serious dopeness. Listen and download...

Krizz Kaliko, Rittz & Chamillionaire Send Out a “Mayday” to Real Hip-Hop Fans (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/12/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Chamillionaire, Rittz, Krizz Kaliko

Speaking of Mayday, I have no idea if Krizz Kaliko's new single "Mayday" is a reference to his Strange Music label mates or merely a concept track, but either way Krizz has dropped off yet more music tailor made to fucking pistachios too. Listen...

I Kinda Like Chief Keef’s “I Don’t Like (G.O.O.D. Music Remix)” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/05/12 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, Jadakiss, Chief Keef

Two months ago there wasn't a single person on this track who knew who Chief Keep was, and now Kanye and crew have elected to have the young Chi man's name splattered across the globe. But let's be real, you really don't care about all that background. Listen and download..

Goddamnit, Joey Bada$$ is Headed for “World Domination” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 05/05/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Joey Badass

More specifically, it's both dope and mildly depressing to listen to Joey Badas$$, know that he's already one of the best in his field, and he's only a motherfucking teenager. Goddamnit. Who knows if Bada$$ will ever see the light of day on MTV, or have a number one album, but the spirit of '90s rap seems to have been magically reincarnated inside his skinny self.

Seriously Though, You Should Listen to BJ the Chicago Kid’s “Hay” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/19/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, BJ the Chicago Kid

The best music makes you want to listen to even more music. In that case, we can call BJ the Chicago Kid's "Hay" some of the best music. When I first heard BJ's new release all I knew was that it was one of the better R&B/soul joints I'd heard in a minute. Listen and download...

King Mez Falls Under ‘The Allure” of Dopeness (Listen & Download, Prod. by J. Cole)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/10/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, King Mez

I know a lot of people are going to check out this "The Allure" joint because J. Cole produced it, and that's fine. Cole's a damn good producer, and if a well known name offering up a nice instrumental gets even a few more people to check out a worthy emcee, all the better. Listen and download...
