Huey Mack – About Us (Produced by CJ Luzi)
College rapper Huey Mack released his official video for About Us off his upcoming mixtape A Boy Named Hue last night and I have listened to it probably 7 times. Each time I like it more and I think the catchy, flowy (is that a word) hook is a big part. It’s infectious and you…
Kap Slap – Call Me Greyhound (Kap Slap Bootleg)
How do you prevent feeling guilt over listening to Carly Rae Jepsen’s summer anthem Call Me Maybe? That’s easy. As Kap Slap has figured out, all you have to do is put it over the hard hitting work of art from Swedish House Mafia, Greyhound. I think the fact that this isn’t the entire song…
Would you pay to see Hologram Tupac on tour?
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that since the success Hologram Tupac had at Coachella over the weekend, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are now considering going on tour with him.

Flo Rida – Whistle (Radio Rip)
The guys at FistInTheAir.com are on top of their shit as per usual with this one. They got the radio rip from an Australian radio station of Flo Rida’s new jam, Whistle. This is a bit more poppy than the last few songs from Flo, but on first listen I like it. Good beat and…

Well West Virginia University’s own Huey Mack has created a remix that will reach more audiences and spread the infectious beat…
Cedric Gervais vs. Madonna vs. Afrojack – Have You Seen Molly (DJ Rozz Lost & Found Mix)
A few weeks ago, Madonna made a stupid comment at Ultra Music Festival before Avicii’s set asking the crowd if they had “Seen Molly”. In fact, around the 2 minute mark you can hear the audio in this mix. Clearly it was a reference to the pure form of ectasy known as “Molly”. Of course…
