Miles and Stik add some passion and consciousness to Drake's "Headlines" beat. I've been a big fan of Miles' cover/remix work over the past few years. Beyond that, I think that he and Stik Figa are a great tandem.

Ladies and gentlemen, hit play and start your engines. This video player popped up in February and sees Fate spitting game over a real heat-rock from Mr. Fresh. While Young Fate verses are on my brain, his 16 on Ron Ron’s...

With more artists in KC doing experimental, beat music derivatives this year, I thought this separate chart would only be right. I don’t think I had near as many favorite local beats to refer to when the Demencha writers put together their 2010 music picks last year. But in...

This latest teaser from Izmore & DWill, and hopefully the last one before their Heartfelt Anarchy album comes out, is a wrap up of a few previously-released tracks they've leaked over the past several months, but including some new jawns that we haven't heard yet. True...

Taking two different songs from his most recent release, Who Is That Nigga Anyway, and making consecutive music videos tying both of them together? Great idea. Hopefully the KC-based hip hop artist, Abnorm, can keep the ball rolling with this concept. I'd love to...
