Stalley ft. Scarface - "Swangin"

After paying dues with his first MMG mixtape Savage Journey To The American Dream, Stalley is gearing up for the release of his major label debut with the lead single "Swangin'."

The Block Beattaz production has a classic Houston sound, and it was only right that legend Scarface lend a verse to the track made specifically for the whip.

Roman GianArthur - "I-69"

I've been looking for a studio version of "I-69" since I saw Roman GianArthur perform it at Poor Little Rich Girl's Supreme Music Sessions, and although I'm a month late, here it is!

Roman, just one of the Wondaland Arts Society's many talents, is the man behind Janelle Monae's Archandroid overtures and the album closer "BabopbyeYa." Now, Roman has placed his focus on his own project which features the infectious "I-69," a track that has been spreading like wildfire due to the reception of his opening performances for Solange and Bilal's latest shows in Atlanta.

Hit play to be formally introduced to the soulful realm of Roman GianArthur, and be sure to buy "I-69" on iTunes if you like what you hear!
