We’ve known that Wale was the feature on Audio Push’s first single from their debut album, and today we’re excited to premiere that song, “Quick Fast,” as the West Coast duo are getting ready to roll out their debut album (soon, we hope). Oktane and Price know how to hit us with energetic bangers (see), but this one isn’t necessarily that direction– it’s more laidback on a Cali vibe, but you’ll definitely be feeling it, and guarantee that hook gets stuck in your head after first listen. The feel-good production was handled by S.Dot and $.O.N, with co-production from Hit-Boy and Preach. We don’t know the title of their debut album just yet, but it’s due out viaBOW/HS87/Interscope. This single will arrive on iTunes on December 15th, so make sure you scoop it up there when it drops. Audio Push – Quick Fast

While KRS-One and Torae haven’t cemented that connection just yet, “Klick Clique” could be the start of something new. Linking the Teacha with Da Young Veteran, the track serves as a reminder that the underground sound is alive and well.
