Jordan Daniel - "Midnight" (feat. Zhero) [prod. Dr. Bad News]

Jordan Daniel caught my attention in April of this year with the release of his debut project, the 4-track Feet on the Pavement. Although the EP clocked in at under 12 minutes, it certainly served it's purpose as a fine introduction to the musical offerings of the Connecticut native.

Daniel returned recently with two new records, including the Zhero-featured "Midnight". Much like Feet on the Pavement, "Midnight" presents a distinct sound that displays the unique sonic vibrations Jordan is bringing to the table. And I've been a Zhero stan for as long as I've been listening to his music, so his assist on the track is appreciated on my end.

The Dr. Bad News-produced "Midnight" is simultaneously ambient and heavy hitting, as the instrumentation couples with the lyrical content to knock listeners awake while also guiding them into a trance-like headspace. With Jordan's tempestuous crooning and Zhero's characteristic sing-song rap vocals, "Midnight" is a finely balanced musical endeavor.

In addition to "Midnight", I've included the Matthew Cyr-produced "Midday" as well. Hit play on both of Jordan Daniel's latest releases below.

Rudy - No Time

God willing, each and every person birthed into this world will grow up. Some of us may reach an old age, some of us may be called home earlier than others - but, in some form or fashion, we all will grow older. It's a funny thing, the way our society perceives age. In some cultures, the elders are held to the highest esteem - for they are the ones with the knowledge and experience to hold true wisdom. While many in our society praise youth and the physical beauty associated with being young, it is only through the experience of living life that one learns about the world, and in turn, has the capability to learn about their own being. And still, we tend to look down upon those who have been blessed to experience a long, full life. Perhaps it's because so many "old" people seem to live a life of regret, looking back on their youth with a mind full of "what ifs" and "should haves". While young individuals are rushing to reach maturity,

Watch Now: Aaron Cohen & Eklips in Paris (Video)

While in Paris - which appears to be one of his homes away from home at this point - Aaron Cohen bumped into Eklips outside a train station. With cameras rolling, the renowned beatboxer proceeded to drop Dipset's " Oh Boy " instrumental as Cohen does what he does best, lacing the France-based musician's rendition of the track with characteristically self-confident quotables. Check out the off the cuff collaboration below and be on the lookout for Cohen's upcoming RED NEW YORK project.

Raz Simone - "Your Hands" [prod. Antwon Vinson] (Video)

Often times in life, the hardest lessons to learn are the ones that lead to the greatest amount of personal growth and expansion. And, of course, it's always best to learn first hand, through experience, rather than through second hand story telling. Let's be honest, someone can drop knowledge on you time and time again but we, as humans, have a tendency to ignore that wisdom unless the Universe hits us with some personal experience. Regardless, on "Your Hands", Raz Simone takes it upon himself to share his experience with anyone willing to listen - not necessarily to benefit the listener, but to put into perspective his D.T.A. ( don't trust anyone) mentality. Shortly after the release of "Your Hands", Raz tweeted the following: "I genuinely don't expect a thing from another person but betrayal. I still keep hope and love for everyone tho. More and more from afar." While this may come across as a negative, pessimis
