Read moreThis compilation is inspired by our collaboration with one of the most culturally relevant and timeless brands, Stussy. We’ve sifted through dozens of tracks to curate the finest selection of progressive music from around the globe to bring visibility to the future sound. Because there is so much talent out there, it was challenging to pull this compilation together to showcase a progression and cohesive flow but we finally feel we’ve arrived as something very special. You will see familiar official Soulection artists on this compilation as well some new talent from forward-thinking and ambitious producers, emcees and vocalists that we’re excited about and feel have a bright future. Our partnership with the iconic brand includes a ‘Soulection Tribe’ limited t-shirt designed by Stussy as well as a physical in-store event and after party at our Sound Of Tomorrow Los Angeles monthly at The Echoplex. Much love to Neek and the whole Stussy team for making this collaboration a reality. Stussy x Soulection Compilation by Soulection

Read moreEpic Records artist TeeFlii sat down and chopped it up with VladTV and spoke briefly about his upbringing in South Central LA. TeeFlii reveals that he raised in South Central and exposed to neighborhood gangs at an early age, and while he may have had a few run-ins with gang life, he doesn’t feel the need to discuss them in detail. He also spoke of being raised by parents who weren’t around as often as he’d like, and spending most of his time with his Grandfather until he passed away. At this point he lived with his father for a while, but at that point he had already made up his mind about his own future. The “24 Hours” rapper also briefly touched on his mother being on drugs, and says that while it was struggle for their family, he’s very proud that she’s now clean.
Read moreThis Saturday (Sept. 13) marks the 20th anniversary of one of hip-hop’s most groundbreaking albums, The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready to Die. And around these parts, we tend to get nostalgic when these kinds of milestone anniversaries approach. For Illmatic’s 20th bornday in April, we asked Nas’ brother Jungle to give us a tour of the Queensbridge streets (and childhood apt.) that inspired the classic LP. And now, we’ve recruited Biggie’s baby brother from another, Lil’ Cease, to walk us through the now-gentrified Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn, where Christopher Wallace grew up into one of hip-hop’s biggest legends. Take a trip down memory lane with Cease A Leo as he revisits Big’s old stoop, remembers supplying Tupac with guns hidden in shoeboxes, and recalls his first encounter with the Notorious One.
