• Wiz Khalifa Samples Mac DeMarco For "Smoke Chambers" [LISTEN]

    asdEven though he has no upcoming album or mixtape projects that we know about, Wiz Khalifa keeps dropping new songs, his latest being the exceptionally trippy and laidback "Smoke Chambers," which you can check out below. The song heavily samples fellow stoner Mac DeMarco's synthpop number "Chamber of Reflection" from his latest album Salad Days, even keeping DeMarco's original "alone again" vocal hook, which ties in to Khalifa's theme of the alienation his fame has brought him. This is the sort of hazy production that Khalifa should be using more often.

The Motion Family-directed clip features Jeezy rapping in semi-black and white (the only color that shines through is gold, of course) against a bare white backdrop, featuring appearances masked women, a snake, some huskies, and for some reason, a stove (though there might be some old-fashioned misogyny attached to that last one).
  • A$AP Ferg Shares 'This Side' Featuring YG [LISTEN]

    A$AP Ferg and YG's BestCoast Connection Tour kicks off tomorrow, Nov. 13, so it is only appropriate that they would record a new song together to celebrate. "This Side" features a highly repetitive trap beat courtesy of THE FAM, while both Ferg and YG deliver some brilliantly eccentric and nimble verses. You can check out A$AP Ferg and YG's "This Side" here: "Hot New Hip-Hop" points out that THE FAM's beat for "This Side" is pretty much identical to the beat in Danny Seth's "I Arise Because," produced by Ducko Mcfli and JGramm Beats, which is scandalous. You can check out Danny Seth's "I Arise Because" here and hear for yourself:
