Lane 8, out of San Francisco, showcases his major talent with the relaxing track entitled Without You. The song is very vibrant and has a light melody to go along with its House oriented drum pattern. Guaranteed to put you in a nice Sunday afternoon groove. This is the kind of music I love to find on Sunday's; very minimal, but definitely gets the job done. Download below.

Praything is Ju Kovacevich and she has a wonderful feel to her music. Soon Soon has a light tempo and beautiful piano chords to accompany the angelic voice of Ju. The live drums also add a nice touch to the single that was featured on the Her Skin Caught The Glow EP, released back on August 1st of this year. Less than 500 likes on facebook? Not for long. This beauty out of Gainsville will make her move in no time.

This hard hitting single entitled GVNG LAND from the TR!BE GVNG is extra trill. Explicit lyrics combined with the laid-back, smoke friendly instrumental make me very interested in this group out of "Tribe State." They recently dropped their project The 22nd Letter and I would highly suggest you download it below. Enjoy.

Frank Ocean took to his tumblr yesterday to give us this beautiful ballad entitled Wiseman. The OFWGKTA member was hoping this song would be featured in the upcoming Tarantino film, Django Unchained, but the director couldn't find a scene where it properly fit. Nonetheless, great single from the R&B guru.

If you don't feel anything when listening to Let Her Go, I'm deeply sorry. The heart-felt lyrics are full of truth to accompany the up-beat, folky rock background. Don't hesitate to buy this one.
Balbino Posted on Friday, December 21, 2012 at 12:06PM Earlier this week I got a chance to link up with Detroit artist Spike DuBose to shoot this trailer for his upcoming EP, My God, dropping December 31st. The project is gonna be a great way to start 2013 and I'm very much looking forward to it. The project was self-produced by Spike himself with additional production from RHF's own Tree Ave. His EP will drop on RHF come December 31st. Don't sleep.

I put up an old picture of Lupe because his latest freestyle reminds me of the old him, which I miss very dearly. Common makes a short apperance on the intro to this No I.D. produced track. Shouts to BHB for the link.

Great single from Kidz In The Hall entitled Ridin' Clean, set to be featured on their upcoming EP Wishful Drinking. Beat is extra nice on this one. Download below.

My homie Spike DuBose might be grinding harder than any other artist out there right now. The amount of material and videos Spike released this year is on another level. He recently dropped off his mixtape Smiles & Cries: Great American Truth and it is COLD. The project features 14 original tracks and production from RHF's own Tree Ave, so you should know what to expect. Connect with Spike below and make sure you pay attention to the grind of a true Detroit artist.

Treat Me Like Fire is so on-point. This laid back single from Lion Babe has been filling my speakers for a couple days now and it is has brought light to my life. Lion Babe consists of two members, Jillian Hervey (who handles the glorious vocals) and Astro Raw (who handles the cool production). Both are extremely talented and make for a great team. Purchase this one on iTunes, definitely worth it.

Very rarely does a mixtape have a full feel and no gaps. The Pro Letarians, new duo out of Bloomington, have released one of the best mixtapes of 2012 entitled Not All Of Me Shall Die. The project is full of up-lifting beats accompanied by fresh rhymes and lots of personality. After giving it a couple listens, some of my favorite tracks are The Way I Feel, Triumph, and Now or Never. It would be a huge mistake to pass this one up. Download below.
