Do we like this song? Nope (although the beat is kinda dope). Just thought it should be known that this was nominated for a grammy… What is this world coming to?

Do we like this song? Yessir. It’s no secret that French Toast loves Hamilton, so when the Hamilton MixTape dropped… it was like Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Rosh Hashanah all happened at once. An incredible day for all of mankind.

Do we like this song? Yes! The sampling trio is back with a brand new album! This song can be described in one word: smooth. (music starts around 1:00)
Another Pete Rock classic for your enjoyment:

(2)Boo Hiss(0)J Cole – False Prophets
Do we like this song? Heck yes we do. J. Cole is finally back and his new album drops at midnight. He grew his hair out, so you know he’s been ruminating on a lot of things with no time to get a haircut. Gotta be a good sign.
Great sample on the track:
Sweet!

Do we like this song? I do. Pretty sure the Chief isn’t going to like this, but it’s an interesting combo of moody Hip-Hop and R&B… according to the iTunes review of 6LACK’s album.

(3)Boo Hiss(0)The Avalanches – Because I’m Me
Do we like this song? Yes. If you look past the fact the The Avalanches are from Australia… you can appreciate that the kid in the video is reminiscent of a young MJ.

(2)Boo Hiss(0)Bomba Estéreo – Soy Yo
Do we like this song? Yes. Do we understand it? No. Does it matter? No. I know I usually go the French route with foreign language, but here’s a little Hispanic Taco for a change of pace. Soy yo!

(1)Boo Hiss(0)Mura Masa – Love$ick (feat. A$AP Rocky)
Do we like this song? Yes. Primarily because the name creatively uses a dollar sign instead of an “S” in the name. The calypso drums in the background put this song over the top.

(1)Boo Hiss(0)Topaz Jones – Howlin’ to the Moon
Do we like this song? Didn’t even have to listen to it… The dude’s name is Topaz Jones. This song is very topical because Halloween is rapidly approaching and it is the anthem for werewolves everywhere. Word on the street is the rest of his album Arcade is pretty solid.
