#1 - Logic ft. Camille Gray - Mind Of Logic

#2 - Jean Grae - Casebasket
For free 99 Jean will beat 99 acts down? Sounds like a deal, huh? Jean Grae is one of the best lyricists of our time. No, not just one of the best female lyricists, one of the best lyricists period, regardless of gender....Read More

#4 - Warm Brew - Nothin From Nothin
Despite their unappetizing stage name, the Warm Brew didn't fail to leave Booth readers refreshed when they introduced themselves with early-April's coffee-shop-funky Willing to Ride. Today, the Los Angeles crew return to...Read More

#5 - Jon Connor - Money Comes Fast

#6 - Rapsody ft. King Mez & Laws - Top Five
Rapsody... Top Five, dead or alive? It might seem a little early to make that call, but think about it this way: if the North Carolina femcee doesn't tell us so now, how will she be able to say “I told you so!” if/when...Read More

#7 - King Mez ft. Skyzoo - The Rebirth
Hip-hop may not recognize royal bloodlines, but anyone who's heard King Mez rock the mic can tell you that the North Carolina native was born for this sh*t. Today, the Booth fave lays his claim to the throne with album leak...Read More

#8 - Gameboi ft. Rapper Big Pooh - Act Right
Judging strictly from the lyrics of Act Right, one might draw several conclusions about Michigan emcee and DJBooth newcomer Gameboi: he’s intellectual; he’s charismatic; he’s informed. What might have been a tad harder...Read More

#10 - Mista Mista ft. D. Julien & Neil Letendre - Wake Up
Like most rappers who aren't in the game out of sheer masochism, Mista Mista is sustained in his arduous grind by visions of a bright future—and, being only human, he occasionally experiences moments of frustration and...Read More

#11 - SBTRKT ft. Yukimi Nagano (of Little Dragon) & Drake - Wildfire (Remix)
South London producer SBTRKT's latest single, Wildifre, gets a major injection of star power on this newly-released remix of the cut. Over the producer's mechanical percussion and wobbling synths, original guest Yukimi Nagano...Read More

#12 - Honors English ft. Freeway Ricky Ross & The Mad Violinist - Short Story Long
Where most would try to make a long story short, up-and-coming emcee Honors English prefers to make a Short Story Long--fortunately, he's got the narrative chops to have listeners hanging on his every word. Over a fittingly...Read More

#13 - Ka$ual ft. Jon Bellion - I Don't Take L's
I know what y'all are thinking: “What could Ka$ual possibly have against Chicago's rapid transit system?“ Frankly, I'm not sure—I certainly never had any complaints during my visits to the Windy City. Oh, when the Booth...Read More

#15 - Treehouse - Ana

#16 - Naturel - Helium
Just how fly is Naturel, the Northeastern up-and-comer previously heard on last year's Say? Hmmm, what can I compare him to without sounding totally cliché... an airplane? A bird? A winged insect of the cyclorrhapha order?...Read More

#17 - Co$$ ft. Sene & Aloe Blacc - Only When I Dream
Self-deception gets a bad rap but, the way I see it it, a little delusion can be a powerful motivator—how many legitimately dope rappers would never have picked up the mic if it weren't for their naive fantasies of fame,...Read More

#18 - Novel - Get You High
Let’s start this post with a riddle: what’s the best time to listen to new music from Novel? Trick question, there’s never a bad time to listen to new Novel. With his DJBooth-approved Vanilla Sky still large in the...Read More
