Sam Adams Ventures 'Into the Wild'

After a long wait, 'Boston's Boy' has finally unleashed some new music, with Into the Wild pre-released last week, co-produced by his DJ, Jayceeoh. We already looked at "Blow Up," the first single off the tape. Now let's take a look at some of the other hits Sammy has to offer. (Download the album in full, here)


Love the beat and background vocals on this one. Adams' rhymes aren't bad either...


Sam Adams – Thunderstorm

This song's way more up-tempo, a faster cut with a heavy bassline. Sammy pulls it off nicely.


Sam Adams – Take the World

You can just feel the adrenaline pumping through this one. "Generation Next" is a similar jam, fuelled by a blend of synths, bass and rock grooves with Adams spitting on top. Makes for a good workout track.


Sam Adams – Generation Next

My favourite.


Sam Adams – Big Lights

Seemingly re-energized after a year of touring, Adams definitely makes a statement with Into the Wild. He experiments with synths, rock grooves and heavy basslines, while retaining his signature flows. Adams has kicked off the new year in style, keep an eye on him.

"Undun" – The Roots' Latest Album, Featuring Big K.R.I.T. and Co.

The Roots came out with their thirteenth album this month. Undun has been ranked among the top hip-hop tapes of 2011 and deserves a listen.



"Make My" features Big K.R.I.T. on a verse, and is a soulful, almost motown-like tune. A definite hit off the tape.


The Roots – Make My [Feat. Big K.R.I.T.]

Another lyrical masterpiece from the Philly group, with Dice Raw.


The Roots – Lighthouse [Feat. Dice Raw]

The Roots and Dice Raw collaborate again, this time with North Carolina's Phonte Coleman, who absolutely kills it on his verse.

Hits from Ian J, Clams Casino, and Asher Roth

We're back with a fresh single off Ian J's recent mixtape, Happy Birthday. The Louisville, Kentucky native samples Wolfgang Gartner's "Illmerica" and spits over the beat.


Ian J – Coming For You


Up and coming producer, Clams Casino unleashed another impressive cut this week, this time taking on Big K.R.I.T.'s "Moon and Stars." It makes for a 'stellar' – pun intended – remix, with a faster hook and a nice laid-back vibe.


Big K.R.I.T. – Moon and Stars [Clams Casino Remix]

Rounding off the trio of rappers featured today is lyricist Asher Roth, who finally dropped his much-anticipated mixtape, Pabst & Jazz: Blended Babies & Friends. Pabst and Jazz as a whole is a chilled, reflective work, even featuring some acoustics. Here are a select few jams off the tape, which you can download in full here.

Denzal Park Mashes Up Avicii

Melbourne tag team production duo Denzal Park have made a name for themselves recently with their stunning remixes. Their latest work mashes up Julia McKnight's 'Diamond Life' with Avicii and David Guetta's 'Sunshine.' We have the latter's orginal below as well.

Avicii & David Guetta – Sunshine


Earlier we gave you Hardwell's bootleg of Levels which we said couldn't really touch the original despite its best efforts. Denzal Park attempts a similar feat with 'Levels', but mashes up Avicii with...Avicii. That's right, 'Levels You Seek' pits the 2011 smash hit against 'Seek Bromance' produced under the Swede's original alias Tim Berg. Denzal Park have enjoyed success with this one.
