[EAGLES NEW ANTHEM] S.K.Y. – “PUT YA HANDS UP” FREESTYLE FT. JEFF LAKE

Team ONLY up next son! Who wanna bet? S.K.Y. unleashed another exciting freestyle lastnight and this time he’s celebrating Philadelphia’s new Super Bowl Champions.  What’s dope is that S.K.Y. spit over his uncle, Mr. Reeze’s hit song “Put Ya Hands Up” featuring Jeff Lake from back in the day.

This is definitely a different sound from him, and even though I don’t rep the Eagles- I dig it. Check out S.K.Y. on Instagram (@Onlysuave) and tune into his Soundcloud to hear some of that other real sh*t he got.  Keep an eye out for the young soulful rapper, he’s got some serious hits just chilling in his vault.

Listen to his latest freestyle here.

[NEW MUSIC] KODAK BLACK – “ERYKAH BADU”

Florida rapper Kodak Black just dropped “Erykah Badu“, another new freestyle.  Once I heard the beat drop, to “On & On” and I instantly knew he was gonna rip this.  But, after listening throughout the whole thing I honestly expected it to be a lot better… Something along the lines of the Game and Kendrick Lamar’s version “On Me” .  This guy is wreck less, but he’s got some bangers.

Play “Erykah Badu” here.

Check out some of my favorite songs from Kodak.

[NEW MUSIC] TRAVIS SCOTT – “TOO MANY CHANCES”

What a week for Travis Scott.  Just days ago and Kylie Jenner officially announced the birth of their baby girl, and now he’s uploaded a new unheard record on SoundCloud, titled “Too Many Chances“.  I can’t wait for his long-awaited AstroWorld album to come out.  It’s going to be insane.

Check out the new song below.

[NEW MUSIC] MGMT’S LITTLE DARK AGE DUE OUT THIS FRIDAY

MGMT emerged as one of the most popular bands to sprout in the tail end of the 2000s, playing a distinct blend of electronic rock and psychedelic pop. They were signed by Columbia Records prior to the release of their neon-bright debut album Oracular Spectacular in 2007. This album wasn’t just an album but an iconic piece of music that inspired everyone after them. They had a look and a sound that simulates the spontaneous nature of life while being entranced in the bad and the good parts of it.

The sound is unlike any other, except all the bands that have copied them. Their most popular song, “Electric Feel” makes the listener instantly want to dance and move to the beat. “Time to Pretend” off their first album captures the emotion of happiness in only four minutes. The sound of MGMT really brings the listener into a different reality. Their pure talent to tap into people’s subconscious shot them to instant success, and success that was rightfully deserved. When someone hears, “MGMT” they don’t think of a band, but icons.

MGMT’s fourth album officially has a release date: Little Dark Age drops Feb. 9 via Columbia Records.

Here is the full Tracklist:
01. She Works Out Too Much
02. Little Dark Age
03. When You Die
04. Me and Michael
05. TSLAMP
06. James
07. Days That Got Away
08. One Thing Left To Try
09. When You’re Small
10. Hand It Over

Here are the title tracks that have already been released from the album:

The music video for “When You Die” is one of the most creative videos I have seen in a long time. It starts off as a normal scene and then breaks off into multiple colors and graphics. These trippy visuals go along with the playfulness of the song. The sign of a great music video is giving another meaning to the song to enhance it, and MGMT is always putting out great content to add to their discography.

Their stand out song “Little Dark Age” excites me because they are going into a different sound while still maintaining their roots. There seems to be more lyrical content than the instrumentals on this record. This is a cool new direction that I am liking. I am prepared for this to be their best album to date. The gothic style in this video is very fitting and I hope they explore dark themes throughout the album. Overall, the first few tracks have blown my mind, so I expect February 9th to be a great day for the music world. Thank you MGMT for blessing us with another album.
