Caxton Press - This Ain't Livin' / Hunger (Videos)

Caxton

Can't believe I missed these two tracks! Better late than never though. London's Caxton Press released the single "This Ain't Livin'" at the end of September and dropped a visual to go with it. On the flipside to the single is the banger "Hunger" which also got the visual treatment a couple of weeks later.

The single "This ain't Livin'" B/W "Hunger" is still available here. Check both videos below.


Verb T - Old And Grumpy (Video)

Verbs

Today sees the release of the much anticipated new album from Verb T. To accompany the project's release, he's also dropped a video for the track "Old And Grumpy". Don't worry Verbs, that's how we're all getting.

The album "I Remain" is available now through High Focus. Check the video (with a few cameos) below.

It's always good to hear new material from Lewis Parker. Here he drops a video for "Summer With Asakala" which will appear on his upcoming album "The Puzzle/Episode Two/The Glass Ceiling". The new project will be available next week through King Underground.

Scoe - Tha Influence (Mixtape)

Scoe

Philadelphia's Scoe (formerly Roscoe) releases his latest project through DJ Booth with "Tha Influence". Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with his back catalogue other than a few tracks here and there with his brother Kurupt but the production credits and features were enough to hold my interest. With tracks with Xzibit and Kendrick Lamar and music from the likes of Jake One, Just Blaze, Statik Selektah, Hi-Tek, Nottz to name a few. Yeah, I downloaded it straight away too.

Stream and download below or visit the DJ Booth page here.
