Took this picture from my roof today. Not sure why but I feel like it goes perfectly with this beautiful track by Mr. Virgin. If you’re feeling stressed out or just simply looking to mellow, do Martin Virgin and yourself a favor and press play.

The Drive – Chevy Woods feat. Mac Miller

I’m a huge fan of rappers going in over real laid back beats and Chevy and Mac do it better than anyone on ‘The Drive’. Perfect for a slow smoke and drive around town.

So Much Love To Give (Viceroy Remix) – Together
Posted: July 26, 2011 Filed under: Viceroy | Tags: High Times, Remix, Summer Jams Leave a comment
Close your eyes and picture the best summer party you’ve ever been to in your life. If I had to guess (at least for me), I’d have to say it was probably a beach party, where there was warm weather involved, all of your best buddies, a bonfire, and as always enough booze and greenies to last you til 2017. Now hit play and listen to this new remix of Thomas Banglater and DJ Falcon’s monster hit “So Much Love To Give,” and close your eyes again and imagine that same party. Absolutely perfect right? When Viceroy was in the studio putting this together I can’t help but imagine that the only thing going through his head was that he wanted to produce the perfect summer party jam for 2011. Well, Viceroy, from all of us here at VelectroRaptor, bravo. You’ve accomplished just that.

Summertime (Mash Up) – Pretty Lights
Posted: June 25, 2011 Filed under: Pretty Lights | Tags: High Times, Mashup, Summer Jams Leave a comment
Hailing from Colorado, Pretty Lights has one of the most original sounds in the electronic scene today, and that’s why he’s one of our favorites here at VelectroRaptor. The only way to describe his music is super fucking chill, and meant to be listened to with a joint or two being passed around. This new release, which was dropped on June 21st in honor of the first day of summer, captures the sound of summer perfectly. I’ve literally been listening to this song on repeat for an hour because it puts your mind in the perfect place. This song incorporates 8 different summer tracks which relate to summer including some Sublime, which is just a testimony to how fucking talented Pretty Lights is. I would love to see this guy in concert – it would just be a euphoria overload. So spark up a j, listen to this dope ass song, and then download it. Now.

This song also reminds me of Pretty Lights’ “Shining Bright Despite The Plight” – another one of my favorites from PL. Check it!

As We Enter the Gravel Pit – Wu-Tang Clan, Nas & Damien Marley (Skratch Bastid Blend)
Posted: June 11, 2011 Filed under: Damian Marley, Nas, Wu-Tang Clan | Tags: Chill Hip-Hop, High Times Leave a comment
I’ve gotta be honest, this is the first I’ve heard of Skratch Bastid but he’s popped up on our radar with a presence. Coming off his upcoming mixtape The Entertainer, As We Enter the Gravel Pit is a straight banger that will have you moving from the start. Try and sit still through this song, I dare you. Its a must download, enjoy.

Drift (Original Mix) – Funkagenda & Adam K

Two well-known house producers have united to create this masterpiece. This song goes straight back to the roots of house and incorporates everything I love about the genre – fleeting notes, easy bass and sirens. I have a feeling some amazing remixes are bound to emerge in the near future from Funkagenda’s and Adam K’s hard work. I can already hear them.

Tommy Chong – Blue Scholars ft. Macklemore
Posted: June 4, 2011 Filed under: Blue Scholars, Macklemore | Tags: High Times, Pacific Northwest Rap Leave a comment
Rappers out of the Pacific Northwest have by far the most powerful verses in the game today. Blue Scholars and Macklemore are some of the leaders of the movement, but similar to them are Common Market and Zion I, and all of these guys have some serious fucking talent. It’s been a while since Blue Scholars have come out with a new album, but I couldn’t be happier, and to get you all excited for it take a listen to “Tommy Chong” one of the many sick songs on it. Every line is smart and well thought out and as much as I love lyrics about money, bitches and planes, it’s always refreshing to hear some clever spits being thrown out about politics and how fucked up our world is. Although this song is all about trees, it traces the history, legality and beauty of weed all over a sick oriental sounding beat. If you’re anti-weed, then please, for everyone’s sake, actually take the time to listen to what these guys are saying, because if this song doesn’t convince you that weed is harmless, then just stick to your “above the influence” shit. This track is off of Blue Scholars newest album CINEMETROPOLIS which is going to be released on June 14th, but you can buy the digital download here off of iTunes. If you’ve got some grass lying around and some buddies to share it with, light up a fatty and let this song melt you away into happiness.
Sweet Talk – Kito & Reija Lee

This song is fucking absurd. Blast this on good headphones and you become a secret agent. It’s like riding in an Aston Martin and no I’m not talking about Rick Ross. Enjoy.
