COULTRAIN-GODMUSTBEABOOGIEMAN EP

So many impressive hip hop projects have been released this year, but I’ve been secretly hoping more R&B would arrive in my inbox. Then St. Louis native, Coultrain, aka. Seymour Liberty answered my call with the EP GodMustBeABoogieMan. It’s Coultrain at his finest; soulful voice echoing through the speakers, making each track feel like a summer lullaby.  He collaborated with Black Spade, Teeko, J1 and others. The tracklist, artwork and all of the goodness is contained in the zip. Partake!

BLACK SPADE-BUILD & DESTROY MIXTAPE

Man, before you even hit download, just looking at this artwork makes you feel like you’re about to be embarking upon the goodness. We’ve been posting a lot of Black Spade lately and getting everyone ready for this one. Build & Destroy features artists like Coultrain, Rockwell Knuckles, Vadndalyzm and Vic Mensah with production by everyone from Onra to J*DaVeY. Oowee! BTW, we have music from most of these acts on our Quality>Quantity mixtape so get familiar. #shamelessplug
