Black Montana - Gone video
Check out this heartfelt video from Black Montana with "Gone". It was filmed by Cotton films, who I think is going to be a problem in the near future with videos/film. What's your thoughts...Spin it or Scratch it?

Swerve and SYG - Cold Winters and Warm Whiskey 2 mixtape review
Every now and then within hip hop, an artist doesn't merely make a mixtape or album...they create art. This happens to be the case with Swerve & SYP's "Cold Winters and Warm Whiskey 2". Similar to the name of the mixtape, they shift through the spectrum of life within a paradox format. I love how they can shift from tracks like "fearless" to exploring God and morality within the next track with "paradise". The bars are so vivid and gripping that you forget that the project is 18 (actually 20 with the bonus tracks) tracks long. As far as content, they show us that there "gotta be more than" typical topics. You can respect their transparency and that is what helps draw you into every track. This mixtape is really balanced with tracks on life, social issues and dope lyrics. I also love their hooks. Not only are all of the hooks catchy, but they are just as important as the lyrics on each track. This helps create more single worthy tracks on the mixtape. This mixtape defines where hip hop is going and is going to be a trailblazer. This is one of my favorite listens of the year and they do all of this while their style stays "fresh even if it's laundry day".
Rating: 5/5 Spins
Replays: Paradise, Only Wishes, China White & Reflective Dreams,
Best Feature: N/A but DJ Mentos had best production with "Only Wishes"
