Dopest album cover of the year so far? I'd say so.
If you've heard Freebasing With Kevin Baconand Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff, you know that Funk Volume emcee Jarren Benton is known for pushing the lyrical envelope. Thankfully, he's been compiling some more off the wall bars for his upcoming album My Grandma's Basement, set to drop this June.
Stream the project's lead single "Razor Blades and Steak Knives" below, and support the Atlanta rapper's movement by downloading the track from iTunes.

Planet VI (formerly known as Rock City) keeps it in the SMKA family as they link up with Kevin Bacon's Freebasing buddy Jarren Benton on "Trouble." At first listen, this may sound like a nice party cut, but the content is definitely something I need all my emoticon using G's to pay attention to. Expect more thought provoking tracks on their upcoming mixtape The American Nightmare, set to hit the net on August 28th.
Jarren Benton wakes up to a surprise for his weekend in the music video to Freebasing With Kevin Baconstandout "Lean." Watch below as he and his new best styrofoam friend have a night for the history books, and be sure to have one yourself. It's Saturday, ho!
Thanks to the success of Jarren Benton's first tape Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff, his new project Freebasing With Kevin Bacon was one of the most anticipated projects of the summer. I'm listening now, and this definitely doesn't disappoint. Definitely think I'm going to make his release party fit into my plans this Saturday.
Stream and download Freebasing With Kevin Bacon below, which features 2 Chainz, Freeway, Playboy Tre, Jon Connor, Rittz, Aleon Craft, Gangsta Boo and more!
It's #NewMusicMonday from Kalenna, and she doesn't disappoint with her new take on Jarren Benton's "Justin Bieber." She trades in the do-re-mi's for a hot sixteen, and I'm not mad about it at all. Can't imagine what's coming out next week.

Fresh off of Huffing Glue With Hasselhoff,Jarren Benton has a contender for mixtape title of the year with his upcoming project Freebasing With Kevin Bacon, but the title may not be all that's praise worthy. His new single "Half Ounce, Quarter Pound" featuring Aleon Craft possesses all the qualities of a turnt up classic thanks to Jarren Benton's flow, the infectious hook and Roc N Mayne's bass heavy production.
Freebasing With Kevin Bacon is set to drop in May with features from Gangsta Boo, Rittz Law and more!
Brothers Timothy and Teron Thomas who are the minds behind hits like Rihanna's "Man Down," Mario's "Music For Love," and The Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up," are renewing their position as artists under the new moniker Planet VI.

Ca$he, and more. Stream/download the mixtape below, and get used to hearing Planet VI more often because they're not going anywhere!
