OSCILLATE is a sleek mix by Montreal’s Jacques Greene, aired on Oki Noki Stereo. His beats are polished and his neat snips of R&B vocals are right on trend. Ranging from minimalist house to exuberant synth-pop, OSCILLATE is an hour-long study in good vibrations.

SERVICE LAUNCHES WITH EXCLUSIVE BRODINSKI REMIX OF DANNY BROWN’S “DIE LIKE A ROCKSTAR”

SIGN UP AT DRIP.FM/FOOLSGOLDRECS

For the past five years, Brooklyn-based independent label Fool’s Gold has hit fans with a continually changing assortment of new music ranging from Kid Cudi to Duck Sauce to Danny Brown. That same spirt of surprise and excitement lives on through their parties and events around the globe, as well as their retail headquarters in Williamsburg, showcasing limited-edition merch and collabs like their Members Only leather jacket and AiAiAi headphones. And now, it takes the form of The Goldmine, a premium digital subscription service powered by drip.fm.

For a low monthly subscription fee, fans get exclusive access to new Fool’s Gold music as high quality 320 mp3 / WAV downloads, plus tons of extras, including hand-picked selections from the label’s back catalog, exclusive content (remixes, accapellas, DJ sets), merch discounts, priority access to events, and whatever other surprises the Fool’s Gold braintrust decides to cook up.

“The drip.fm system is elegant and easy,” says label co-founder Nick Catchdubs. “It’s a service that A-Trak and I already use as DJs and fans, so adding Fool’s Gold to the mix was a perfect fit. The Gold is going to give longtime Fool’s Gold supporters even more music to dig, as well as turn on new fans to artists they might not have checked out otherwise.”

CATCH UP TO THE ‘KAMPAIGN’: 2CHAINZ DROPS “NO LIE” FEAT. DRAKE;
FIRST SINGLE FROM DEBUT ALBUM BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY

BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY SET FOR AUGUST 14 RELEASE ON DEF JAM/T.R.U.
(THE REAL UNIVERSITY);
“NO LIE” SET FOR DIGITAL RELEASE ON MAY 8TH

2 CHAINZ CONTINUES HOT STREAK WITH SCENE-STEALING VERSE ON KANYE WEST/G.O.O.D. MUSIC’S “MERCY” AND SUPPORTING SLOT ON DRAKE’S UPCOMING ‘CLUB PARADISE’ NATIONAL TOUR

Last month, in one of the scores of features written about him in the past year, XXL Magazine anointed 2 CHAINZ as “arguably the hottest MC out right now without a proper solo album under his Gucci belt.”

Open up the belt a few notches: all that is about to change.

With today’s arrival of the official single “No Lie” feat. Drake, 2 Chainz’s T.R.U. (The Real University) and Def Jam Recordings announce the August 14th release date of the debut album BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY. “No Lie” feat. Drake will be available for sale through all digital carriers and services on May 8th.

One of the most anticipated debut albums in years, BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY is set to arrive as the crest of the 2 Chainz wave crashes into shore. After a series of explosive mixtapes made 2 Chainz the most sought-after MC in the game – an onslaught of media attention ensued, including the cover of The Source and a glowing piece in The New York Times – he has recently linked up with the likes of heavies Kanye West and Drake for collaborations of the next order.

In March Kanye West flew into Austin, TX to join Chainz in a surprise performance at one of his triumphant SXSW gigs. Just weeks ago, Chainz debuted his “Riot” video on BET’s 106 & Park with a silently supportive Kanye. The two also promoted the G.O.O.D. Music heatrock “Mercy,” which had just arrived at radio with appropriately bombastic results. The buzz on 2 Chainz scene-stealing verse has been deafening.

2 Chainz and Drake have formed nothing short of an alliance. Drake delivers a monster hook on the club-banger “No Lie.” Not one to let a favor go unreturned, Chainz has agreed to join Drake’s ‘Club Paradise’ tour, which kicks off in Irvine, CA on May 8th.

In “tru” 2 Chainz fashion, the Atlanta-native has gone from a sold-out NYC debut concert in February to a major national tour in just months. “2Chainz is a veteran who chooses being catchy over being cool,” raved the New York Times the morning after his now-legendary SOB’s debut. “He’s an inadvertent humorist, and awe and wonderment often sneak into his verses, as if he’s still surprised by every blessing his new success affords him.”

Having mined digital downloads in the millions for T.R.U. REALigion, his latest indie mixtape sensation (released November 2011), 2Chainz is still winning new fans every hour. His hit tracks – signatures that include “Riot” and the Drumma Boy-produced smash single “Spend It,” have helped establish a new sphere of influence for the lanky, outspoken rapper.

2Chainz is a product of the competitive Atlanta scene that spawned his first group, the duo Playaz Circle (in which he was known as Tity Boi). They made their mark back in ’07 with the rap-R&B-pop crossover hit “Duffle Bag Boy” featuring Lil’ Wayne on the hook, on the DTP (Disturbing Tha Peace)/Def Jam label.

Soon thereafter, 2 Chainz would begin working on solo endeavors. The first being the 2007 mixtape, Me Against The World. Next up, the double-disc mixtape All Ice On Me, would be released and followed by his two-part Trapavelli series. Both had cameos from the likes of fellow underground kings Bun B and Gucci Mane, as well as his 2009 street hit “Stupid” and the surprise 2010 radio smash “Boo.”

“MAKE IT BUN DEM” ON OWSLA/BIG BEAT NOW AVAILABLE FROM ALL DIGITAL RETAILERS

Today Skrillex and Damian “JR. Gong” Marley officially release the anthemic “Make It Bun Dem.” A staple of the three-time Grammy winner Skrillex’s sets for the last few months, the track has already racked up nearly 4 million views on Youtube since making its unexpected debut a few weeks ago. After collaborating on the groundbreaking “Distant Relatives” with Nas, three-time Grammy winner Damian Marley once again masterfully jumps the musical gamut with Skrillex on the track recorded earlier this year. Animated with a syncopated guitar line, thunderous bass production, raucous toasting and masterful synths, the song is another step towards the organic, dub-influenced sound fans have been hearing from the 24 year-old Skrillex recently and the stellar vocal work Marley has become recognized for.

LISTEN/EMBED “MAKE IT BUN DEM” HERE:

Following two successful collaborative efforts alongside fellow producer/rapper The Alchemist as the power duo Gangrene -2010’s Gutter Water and 2012’s Vodka & Ayahuasca- and the 2011 gem with The Alchemist as Gangrene & Roc Marciano, the Greneberg EP; The Oxnard, California based beat-smith and emcee Oh No returns for a solo mission.

Oh No (born Michael Jackson; younger brother of Madlib and son of singer Otis Jackson) was granted unprecedented access to the Rudy Ray Moore / Dolemite audio archives and given free rein to slice, dice, chop and sample his way through the classic-yet-absolutely-filthy catalog. He was able to use legendary material from The Human Tornado, Petey Wheatstraw, the Dolemite Soundtrack and more, plus a multitude of previously unreleased and alternate acapellas and instrumentals. The end result is Ohnomite (available on 6-5-2012), a 19 track head-banging extravaganza of sloppy funk, dirty soul, and brainy lyricism, all aimed at one thing- making your head nod and your ass shake. And when you add to that guests spots from the likes of MF Doom, Evidence, Phife Dawg, The Alchemist, Erick Sermon, Rapper Pooh, MED, Guilty Simpson, Roc Marciano, Sticky Fingaz, Chino XL, Roc C, Prozack Turner, Termanology, Frank Nitt and more, and you are left with a one of a kind album from a one of a kind musician. Ohnomite- 19 songs of pure whoop ass from Oh No and Dolemite!

Speaking of “Whoop Ass,” here is the first leak from Oh No’s Ohnomite LP f/Sticky Fingaz: http://hu.lk/bwcawd252jar

PREORDER KILLER MIKE’S R.A.P. MUSIC HERE

Atlanta-born rapper and Grammy®-Award winner Killer Mike will release his self-proclaimed finest work to date with the debut of R.A.P. Music on May 15 from Williams Street Records. The album, which was produced entirely by El-P, Brooklyn’s resident laureate hip hop artist, producer and entrepreneur, features a line-up of tracks that both deliver on rap’s most basic level and simultaneously document the socio-economic discrepancies and racism that still plague America today. With the album’s title acronym representing “Rebellious African People’s Music,” it takes its influences from all genres of music black people have rebelled through, including gospel, jazz, soul, rock and funk.

The R.A.P. Music album page is now up on Adult Swim and features two unheard tracks off the LP, “Jo Jo’s Chillin” and “Southern Fried”. Listen to clean versions of the tracks here or if your ears prefer it dirty listen to “Jo Jo’s Chilln” here and “Southern Fried” here.
