Dropped out of nowhere, Iller than Most is Del the Funkee Homosapien’s first solo release since 2012’s Root Stimulation. If the idea of that one guy from Deltron 3030 / Clint Eastwood spitting ridiculous fun (over what I can only describe as “mechanical” beats) interests you in the least, check it out.

You can get it for free on the man’s soundcloud here.

For New Years', Seattle based emcee Nacho Picasso dropped Trances with Wolves – The Prixtape. The project mostly follows in the steps of his atmospheric, somewhat trapped out projects with Blue Sky Black Death – rapping over spacey production while calling back Tha Carter II era Lil Wayne.

You can download it for free on Nacho’s bandcamp here.

Beach House EP is the first commercial release by LA singer/rapper Ty Dolla $ign. The EP works hard to mesh the more sweet and syrupy sounds in mainstream hip hop with Trey Songz-like top 40 R&B. If nothing else, the hook to Paranoid will be in your head for days.

You can get the EP on iTunes here.

Lord Steppington is the long anticipated project of duo Step Brothers, consisting of LA rapper/producers Alchemist and Evidence. The album largely celebrates sample-based boom bap, and touts a subtle sense of wit and fucking-around fun.

The album is available on iTunes here.

Cilvia Demo is the debut album from fresh TDE signee and Tennessee native, Isaiah Rashad. On this first effort, Isaiah toys with sounds from Section.80, adding a noticably smooth, southern (think: Big KRIT) flair to most of the tracks here.

The set is up for purchase on iTunes right here.

J. Cole’s first album is due to be called Cole World: The Sideline Story. It’s a play on words – it’s both a cold world, as well as Cole’s world.
