Colombia (Shlohmo Remix) - Young Scooter [FREE DL]

Colombia (Shlohmo Remix) – Young Scooter [FREE DL]

Few labels are as forward thinking as the Wedidit collective.  They tend to take in the outliers, the producers and artists that don’t quite fit in elsewhere.  The best part about it is that Wedidit really brings out the best in all of these producers.  Most of the artists on Wedidit are constantly on repeat...

They Can’t Tell Me Nothing – Paper Diamond [FREE DL]

It’s funny that a new track from Paper Diamond is released today when I just had a conversation about when in God’s green earth we’d be hearing new music from one of our favorite Colorado natives.

The Patriarch Mixtape – Deniro Farrar [FREE DL]
