Download Adult Swim’s free garage rock mixtape, ‘Garage Swim’

May 9th, 2013

This week saw the release of garage rocker Mikal Cronin’s excellent second solo album, MCII. One track that isn’t on that album is the fuzz-drenched “Better Man.” And that’s because Cronin donated it to the latest release by Adult Swim. Aptly titled Garage Swim, the free 15-track comp collects previously unreleased songs from all of [...]

Before Kendrick Lamar turned heads in 2011 with his debut album, Section.80, and then went on to become everyone’s favourite rapper with last year’s Good Kid, M.A.A.D City, he was just a kid in outta Compton trying to make a name for himself as a young rapper.

Listen to 16-year-old Kendrick Lamar on his first mixtape

April 15th, 2013

When I was 16 years old, I was trying to make sure I handed in my homework in time. When Kendrick Lamar was 16, he was already releasing mixtapes and on his way to becoming a successful rapper. Who needs homework! Ten years later, Lamar’s first mixtape has surfaced on the internet for all of [...]

Download Big K.R.I.T.’s ‘King Remembered In Time’ mixtape

April 10th, 2013

It’s hard to believe but King Remembered In Time is Big K.R.I.T. What’s even harder to believe is that it’s taken him eight years to call a mixtape King Remembered In Time. The greatest thing about them, though, is that more often than not they play like proper full-lengths, and judging by a quick first [...]

Download James Ferraro’s ‘Cold’ Mixtape

March 28th, 2013

I’ve learned that the only thing to expect from L.A. experimentalist James Ferraro is the unexpected. Dude has been perplexing fans for years now, hopping between hypnogogic pop, psych, synth music, hip-hop, and electronic under various pseudonyms, most recently BEBETUNE$. For his latest project, in which he’s used his most common moniker, Ferraro has cranked [...]

Harry Fraud ‘Adrift’ (Mixtape)

March 8th, 2013

Harry Fraud just dropped a new mixtape featuring, oh, y’know, just about anyone you’d expect him to collaborate with on quite a few unreleased cuts. One track of note is yesterday’s “Hottest MC” with Danny Brown, who yesterday called out MTV’s Hottest MCs in the Game list for snubbing him. In case you can’t be [...]

The Wedge’s Favourite Love Songs

February 14th, 2013

This list could have been in the hundreds, thousands even. And seeing as that would take way too long to compile (it is only a 40-hour work week), we narrowed it down to some personal favourites. No, not Damian’s favourites. Forget that guy. Cam made these picks (Hi!). Valentine’s Day seems like a very indie-rock-friendly [...]

Download Giraffage’s ‘Needs’ Mixtape

February 12th, 2013

There isn’t a whole lot to know about Giraffage other than it’s a guy from San Francisco named Charlie Yin who makes “sample-based pop.” But the most important tidbit is that he dropped his brand new mixtape, Needs, today for Alpha Pup Records. The label describes it as “churning basslines, screwed down vocals, smooth RnB [...]
