Jackie Chain, Scotty & RaRa - "Pimpin Mane" (Prod. by Kato of SMKA)

SMKA, a brain trust in Atlanta known for bringing some of today's budding musicians together for dope collaborative projects, has outdone itself as they held The Hang Out:

Atlanta production collective, SMKA, blocked out 882 Studios for 4 days, and invited many of Atlanta’s most talented and progressive hip-hop artists to hang out, eat, drink, collaborate and make music. The Hang Out took place from February 7 - 10, and for 14 hours a day, 4 days straight, Justin Padron, of 882 Studios, recorded artists over SMKA production. 

The Hang Out compilation features more than 50 different artists on 20 original records produced entirely by 808 Blake and Kato of SMKA. The Hang Out showcases the depth of talent, and diversity, that makes Atlanta’s hip-hop community the most creative and influential in the world.

Check out the project's first leak, "Pimpin Mane," below featuring Alabama's Jackie Chain and ATL rappers Scotty and RaRa over a Kato production.



Part 1 of The Hang Out is set to drop March 26th and if you're in the A in March 23rd, be sure to hit The Star Bar for The Hang Out Release Party.

Jarren Benton - Freebasing With Kevin Bacon [New Mixtape]

Thanks to the success of Jarren Benton's first tape Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff, his new project Freebasing With Kevin Bacon was one of the most anticipated projects of the summer. I'm listening now, and this definitely doesn't disappoint. Definitely think I'm going to make his release party fit into my plans this Saturday.

Stream and download Freebasing With Kevin Bacon below, which features 2 Chainz, Freeway, Playboy Tre, Jon Connor, Rittz, Aleon Craft, Gangsta Boo and more!
