Mac Miller - Watching Movies
Based on the title of Mac Miller‘s forthcoming sophomore full-length, I assumed Watching Movies With the Sound Off was one of the Pittsburgh emcee’s own hobbies. Turns out, I had it completely twisted; on... Read More
Travi$ Scott ft. T.I. & 2 Chainz - Upper Echelon

Big K.R.I.T. - What You Know About It
If you are at all familiar with Big K.R.I.T., then you know that, in addition to a powerful flow, the Southerner is a master of beats as well; often ripping his own production to shreds. While you will never ever hear me... Read More
Ludacris - Helluva Night
After a long week of work, school, or just general drudgery, it’s only fitting that you have an awesome Friday night. Whether you are going to a club, a party, or just keeping it casual with a few drinks, make sure you... Read More

B. Smyth ft. Future - Win Win
With his latest appearance in the DJBooth B. Smyth not only notches his first feature since last year’s Leggo, but marks his first collaboration with artist-of-the-moment Future; I’d say that’s a Win Win for the... Read More

G-Eazy ft. Team Robot - I Don’t Believe You
I know music is very subjective and everyone has his or her own tastes, but if you tell me you don’t like G-Eazy‘s latest jam, simply put, I Don’t Believe You. The upstart’s style is so charismatic and... Read More
Neak - The Kids
Remember as a shorty you’d sit there and play Need for Speed for hours on end? Well, for me, one of most crucial elements to success on rounding those curves with the joystick was the perfect soundtrack jamming in the... Read More

Sunni Colòn - 1000 Roses
Sunni Colón‘s last single, featured in late May, found him stating his belief in the power of Karma. If he was right and our good and bad deeds do indeed come back to us, then we in The DJBooth must be doing something... Read More
Freddie Gibbs - Freddie Soprano
Yesterday, I remarked on how strange it was for Freddie Gibbs to release a mixtape single titled One Eighty Seven in which absolutely no homicides are described. Now it all makes sense: the Gary, Indiana repper was saving up... Read More
GDNA ft. Macon Hamilton, Frank Leone & Waju - BMF
Like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, beatsmith GDNA is one Bad Mutha F*cker. Whereas Jules Winnfield expressed his badassitude through violence, intimidation and fake Biblical quotes, though, this Booth newcomer prefers to... Read More
