When you think of Australia the first thing that comes to mind isn't Hip-Hop. Well if you leave it up to the young spitter from the suburbs of Perth city, Western Australia known by his peers as KNOE, he will change that perception. KNOE is an integral part of the Perth music scene, he has opened up shows for Action Bronson, Himanshu Suri from Das Racist, David Dallas, P-Money and Skyzoo for the west coast leg of his Australian tour, 'A Dream Deferred'. Now, KNOE is ready to build his name in the USA with a new single called "End Of The Beginning" featuring Skyzoo & Torae with production courtesy of DJ Prince. This is a high energy record with a lot of wordplay coming from all parties involved. "Young White Australian kid arrogant as F**K now / writing with some hero's I look up

With a career that spans nearly 30 years, Sade has earned her spot in the soul hall of fame. Sure, many artists in the past have remixed and sampled her work, but none of those projects are as ambitious as Son of Sade: An Ode FreEP. Brought to you by the Montreal-based beatsmith, Teck-Zilla, this near 20 minute jam blends the work of the singer with Teck's Boom bap production savvy. What's interesting to note is that like Sade, Teck was born in Nigeria and spent time living in London, so it's no surprise that both of these artists' sounds can pair so well together. Son of Sade: An Ode is now available here https://soundcloud.com/diamondmedia360/sets/teck-zilla-son-of-sade-an-ode for free download. Official track list: 01. Sade's Intro 02. Theme To S.o.S. 03.

With three different flows: El Gant's breakneck style, Chris Webby's rap attack and Ill Bill's legendary heavyweight bars, "Three Amigos" offers the perfect blend legends and new school talent on one dope track. Whether you're a new head unfamiliar with Bill's classic catalog, or a Boom bap aficionado unfamiliar to Webby, Gant skillfully brings both artists together in a way that you'll inevitably become a fan of both. Over this guitar heavy instrumental, JOAT (Jack of all Trade) provides a beat that begs to be rapped over; thankfully, the three emcees do it justice. "Three Amigos" is the lead leak off El Gant's Beast Academy LP, which is available now. For those who haven't been paying attention to El Gant, stop sleeping.

Kosha Dillz brings us his latest video with "What's Going On Upstairs?" from his album Awkward in a Good Way via Murs' Label 316. The video, directed by Matty Smooch (@mattysmooch) depicts a "month to month rent thriller" of the loud neighbor that might live above your floor. Kosha Dillz happens to play out every character over boom bap vibes on Belief (aka Jesse Shatkin) production; a guy with a hot girlfriend, a mustached hairy cowboy, and a man with dominatrix taste. So the question remains...What's Going On Upstairs? If you are still unsure, at least let's hope the rent in this place gets lowered!

Ceschi Ramos The RAPstation Interview By Kyle Eustice Fake Four, Inc., a small independent record label in New Haven, Connecticut, has far surpassed the expectations of its founders, brothers Ceschi and David Ramos.

As Fake Four was gathering momentum, putting out album after album and touring the world, Ceschi Ramos found himself in a terrible predicament, one even Hollywood couldn't make up. On September 4, 2013, Ceschi started an 18-month prison sentence stemming from a controversial marijuana charge. He was charged with purchasing over 100 pounds of marijuana that was shipped cross-country from California to Connecticut, colorfully wrapped as Christmas gifts. Davi
