Logic has yet to let me down with a new release. He comes through once again with a great flow as he spits that motivational talk. This one definitely has some heavy Drake influences, but he’s got his own twist. This was shot in Chi-town, and I gotta say it’s kinda odd seeing a Logic video without all the MD/DC landmarks. Can’t hate though, the kid is making big moves and getting the recognition he deserves.

Gratii is a new startup created by UMD alum. They’ve developed this awesome iPhone/Android app. I’ve gotten a chance to check it out (it hasn’t even launched yet), and it’s fucking brilliant. Basically, you play games in the app (which is 100% Free) and win this virtual currency called Gratii. You can then buy coupons from local businesses. In College Park Cornerstone, Looney’s, Bagel Place, and Pizza Bolis have already signed on to participate.
The app also works as a mobile loyalty card. You literally swipe your phone at checkout and gain loyalty points towards the business. You get access to better coupons with more points. This is some future stuff. Check out this story on them that just aired on CBS: http://www.wusa9.com/news/article/193955/158/Gratii-Could-Be-Newest-Virtual-Currency
I’ll let you know when they launch the official app, should be real soon. In the meantime, check out Gratii.com, you can join their mailing list to get notified the second it launches in College Park.

Big Duke laces Chip with a super funky production. And Chip takes it and does what he does with productions that bump.

When this song came out a few days ago, I was pump seeing the artists involved. Upon listening, I think my expectations were a bit high. Definitely a good song, but nothing extraordinary, which is what I was expecting.. (Can you blame me? Gorillaz & 3 Stacks on one track!?)
Anywho, today the video gets the post more because of the animations. This is a pretty cool video, I can’t even imaging how much time went into the design and creation of this.

On the real, if you haven’t copped Habits & Contradictions yet you’re screwing up big time. Q merks every tracks. Right here he hits us with some legit visuals to bump with one of the hardest tracks off the project, featuring Ab-Soul.

Awesome stunts. Awesome soundtrack. Awesome cinematography. Watch as Danny MacAskill, Daniel Dhers and Martin Söderström perform crazy feats of athleticism that bicycles weren’t invented to handle.

This kid stays killin it, and I’m loving the consistant UMD/DC landmark imagery in every one of his videos. And of course you can’t hate on Gumby. Someone have Logic hit us up, we’d love to interview him and learn from the source were this DMV stars drive is coming from.

With Breakfast dropping in just a few days, I assume this is a new track that you will be able to find on it. I was getting a bit bored with the Chiddy Bang sound, but this one is chillin. Xaphoon provides an instrumental that’s real light on the ears, and Chiddy delivers with one of his better flows and some clever wordplay.

I stumbled upon this daNk track earlier this morning off super producer Ski Beatz’ upcoming album, 24 Hour Karate School Presents: Twilight. This spaced-out joint features Mac Miller, who sounds more in his lane on this than anything on his official debut (just being honest). While everyone was wondering who bodied the second verse on this, I went straight to the source to find out that it was none other than Cali spitter Locksmith (yes, I am hating on all the blogs that didn’t actually listen to this track and just said ‘featuring Mac Miller’…do your job!). Anyway, no download link on this, but Twilight drops this Tuesday, so if you like what you hear, go cop it.

Xaphoon linked up with Yuri Beats to produce this super smooth instrumental, and Chiddy laid some dope verses on top of it. Unfortunately, they couldn’t get permission to use the sample commercially, so you won’t find this one on their upcoming album, Breakfast. Pretty cool that they put a video together for a throwaway track, this song deserves the attention.
