Our boy Giraffage just took the game up a notch with 9 free, and absolutely steamy, tracks. He layers his signature chill-hop sound on top of The-Dream’s Love Hate. All we got is love for this.

FLUME | Soundcloud | Our Interview
With Flume’s upcoming mixtape release, he continues to push himself towards larger, broader horizons. After the free B.I.G. Flume mixtape that was done by one of Flume’s fans, the only logical next move was to garner hip hop collaborations of epic proportions. Right? I mean cutting raps and lyrics on Flume’s beats are like pizza and ranch. No? Sriracha and pho. Still? Fine…pb&j.
He’s released two tracks so far to hold us off. First a revamp of the classic ‘Holdin’ On’ with Freddie “Gangsta” Gibbs. Gibbs’ rhymes are one of my favorites in the game right now, so seeing these two come together is a dream come true. And second, released today, the intro track with Stalley; an orchestral masterpiece that flows like the Mississippi. The full mixtape will be released on October 18th. Check the tracks below in the meantime and the tracklist after the jump!

Danny Brown came barreling at us with his third LP, OLD, which dropped last Tuesday. The now semi-infamous Detroit MC shows his versatility on the two “sided” album. Danny’s one of those incredibly divisive rappers; not only for his imagery and lyrics but for his voice. If you’re here expecting him to sound different vocally than on any of his other releases, I’ll save you some time here. Side A has Danny rapping about his former life of dealing drugs and struggling to survive in one of America’s most dangerous cities. It also garners some slightly more traditional hip hop beats.
Collaborators on this side include Freddie Gibbs, Schoolboy Q, and a standout track with Purity Ring that truly features both artists at their best while complimenting each other perfectly. The follow up side opens with the aptly named ‘Side B (Dope Song)’, one of the three tracks produced by Rustie on the record. Side B is a straight party album with some seriously club ready bangers. Fool’s Gold head honcho A-Trak also produced a song for his signee, ‘Smokin & Drinkin’ that is sure to please fans of both. A$AP Rocky and Ab-Soul make appearances on ‘Kush Coma’ and ‘Way Up Here’, respectively. All in all OLD is a testament to how well Danny handles the most eclectic array of beats I’ve heard on an album. Lyrically and creatively OLD has managed to become one of the best hip hop albums of the year.

It definitely seems like more than three years since the Odd Future (Wolf Gang Kill Them All) collective stormed, or better yet triumphed, the scene. Now after what seems like eons of waiting, Earl Sweatshirt released his debut LP Doris. Earl’s first EP EARL received rave reviews and spread like wildfire throughout the blogosphere. By the time everyone had begun asking about this 16 year old master wordsmith, he seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. Check after the jump for more.
