Keep your name in the headlines Mr. Drizzy, because you know everyone is listening. Today two new Drake songs have hit the 'net, just days after his "Can I" record leaked. The first, "Go Out Tonight" is a R&B track reminiscent of the Torontonian's "Houstatlantavegas" sound, while "On A Wave" features sultry Tinashe on a melodious honest track. With all the Drake related news and Houston Appreciation Weekend in full swing, let's hope Views From The 6 is prepping for launch shortly. Enjoy the new new below.
Hit-Boy featuring Travis $cott - Go All Night /
While VibeRotation 19 expands and diversifies, "Go All Night"-- a new song from Hit-Boy featuring Travis $cott-- reminds us the Fontana, CA native is the best producer in the game. Hit-Boy has a unique sound and it is the definition of consistent. In a beat breakdown video for Beyoncé's "***Flawless" on YouTube he calls it the "Hit-Boy bounce" (believe me when you hear it your body does literally that). Hit made it his signature during his G.O.O.D. music days with Kanye and Jay Z on tracks like the famous "Ni**as in Paris". Range, versatility, and added continuity is essential in the music industry, Hit-Boy fused his bounce with New York's boom-bap style Joey Bada$$ masters in their joint song "Belly Of The Beast". Exposure to the heavyweights he has befriended only produces more success and expansion, his Hits Since '87 squad will be the first to tell you. Hit-Boy has also stepped in front of the mic proving he can rap and perfect his production craft, using HS87's debut album We The Plug and work with rap contemporaries Audio Push as prime evidence. Today he delivers his iconic sound again, accompanied by partner in crime Travis $cott, in celebration of his 28th birthday. Listen for the duo's chemistry as Hit-Boy explained to The Fader, "Trav and I have a crazy creative energy together. That's why it feels like a party." Enjoy "Go All Night" below, Happy Birthday!
VibeRotation 19 /
Continuing with the eclectic vibes that were masterfully put together in last week's "Chillin' Me Softly" playlist is the nineteenth installment of VibeRotation. With many different genres intermingling with this rotation, there was a decided choice to transition from the harder bass-hitting hip hop tracks to the more house and pop bass lines that are heard throughout this 17-track playlist. While this iteration stays current with Tyga's new track and a Diplo remix to Rihanna's "B*tch Better Have My Money", it also travels back in time to feature songs/renditions from Mobb Deep, Frankie Beverly, Diana Ross, and Jamiroquai. Enjoy VibeRotation 19 below and be sure to check out our SoundCloud for more tunes curated by yours truly.
