Trie Cartier (@Trie_Cartier) — “V.S.O.P. Flow II”
Trie Cartier, the producer half of Durham, NC’s Wreck-N-Crew, released this track and I hope this doesn’t mean they’re about to break up like The Cool Kids did. Sir Michael Rocks started releasing solo mixtapes, Chuck Inglish began producing for other folks and hoping on their songs, next thing you know, The Cool Kids were…

JR&PH7 (@JRandPH7) Ft. King Mez (@KingMez) & Roc Marciano (@RocMarci) — “Makin’ Moves”
This is a bonus track off German production duo JR&PH7’s album, The Good Life. The project featured Phonte, Torae, Freeway, Mela Machinko and more. It was actually pretty jammin’, a great balance of hip hop and soul/R&b, but I don’t think enough folks heard it. Anyway "Makin’ Moves" features Raleigh, NC’s (and current NY resident) King Mez and Long Island’s…

Drique London (@DriqueLondon) Ft. Jabee (@Jabee), Rapper Big Pooh (@RapperBigPooh) & DJ Flash (@DJFlashJLeague) — “Take It Back”
If you’ve never been to a party where DJ Flash is DJ’ing and heard one of his liquor house music sets, then you’re truly missing out. He and DJ Dellmatic can take a party to jam level. This has nothing to do with Drique’s new track, I just wanted to put that out there. "Take It…

SmCity (@SmCityMusic) & DJ Dub Floyd (@DJDubFloyd) — IMMORTALS: Curtis Mayfield
Here’s another reason why I love the A3C Hip Hop Festival — every year there’s the chance to learn about and see artists perform who are from other cities/states I may not have otherwise gotten hip to. This year during A3C, I saw Washington, DC’s SmCity perform. Before the hip hop festival I had never heard of…

Wreck N Crew (@Wreck_NCrew) — “Juice”
As suggested by the title, the Durham, NC duo’s new track pays a bit of homage to the Ernest Dickerson film Juice, which is also where Wreck-N-Crew got their name. This track will be on Victorious Thoughts, Wreck-N-Crew’s new EP dropping next month on December 19. "Juice"– Download. Run That Back: Wreck-N-Crew Ft. Thee Tom Hardy —…
