On Hiatus

Hey everyone.

As I'm sure you've noticed, we haven't posted in quite some time. This is due to a litle internal struggle with our hosting. We're trying to sort out the issue as soon as possible, and we appreciate the fact that some of you are still checking out the site daily.

For the next little while, I'll only be posting soundcloud links, and our banner+images will not show. Ugly, fuck yeah.

In the meantime, here's a great little bootleg from AtV regulars, the Montreal duo known as Grown Folk.

Motivation (Grown Folk Bootleg) - The-Dream, Kelly Rowland, Lil Wayne by Grown Folk

The original tune has been a favorite for a while now, and I was pretty ecstatic when The Dream decided to jump on it. Grown Folk's solid bootleg of it adds a lot of flavor to the great 3am baby-making grindathon that it is.

Also, here's a little reminder: Grown Folk released their debut EP on Templar Sound about a month ago, and it has been getting rave reviews. If you haven't had the chance to check it out, you can grab it on Boomkat or Juno.


Sorry about the severe slowdown on AtV, but we're trying to get everything back in order. Please bear with us for a little while.

Been a long time since we've posted some dirty rap. Quick post to drop some decent stuff that recently got released.

The beat on the Mystikal joint is epic, plus its been such a long time since Ive heard anything from this guy. One by Young Jeezy, classic Jeezy anthem, chyeeeaaaaah. Last one is a bit less "gangsta" oriented ; Freddie Gibs hooked up with 2 members of the Boot Camp Clik for the remix. Gotta love it, this song is pure dope, quality hiphop instrumental right here.

Mystikal - Papercuts feat. Lil Wayne
Young Jeezy - Sleep When I Die
Freddie Gibs - The Ghetto (Remix feat. Sean P & Tek)

Here's the original music video in case you didn't see it yet

Laid Back Sunday #2

Hola, its a beautiful day here in Montreal and probably one of the last warm day before we get surrounded by all that snow. Anyway no time for babblin', here's the music you were waiting for.

The Grouch & Eligh - Denial
The Grouch is a big name in the hiphop "underground" scene. He's been producing a shitload of material since the beginning of his career. Also considered as one of the main founding member of the Bay Area Living Legends Crew (Very talented crew BTW). Pretty hard to pick one particular song off all his albums and collabos but I finally decided to choose one off his most recent collabo that he did with an other Living Legends member Eligh. Good beat that definitely fits that laid back sunday state of mind.

Lil Wayne - Outstanding
Lil Wayne has been off the radar for quite some time since he's currently serving time for drugs possession. If you don't remember, he was arrested at borders with big ass bags of weed in his buses. At least it was only weed huh. Anyway, he probably has an album or mixtape already produced and ready to sell when he gets out of jail(around November). That's how the game works nowadays, you need that fake "street cred" which is getting fucking ridiculous. The song I'm sharing today was supposed to be on Tha Carter III but finally didn't because it was leaked way before the release date. People thought it was a Dre beat, but that was just rumors. Good chill-out track.

Murs - She Had A Nascar
Last beat is from a not so recent mixtape by Murs. I've always been a fan of his music. This guy has his own style and he's been doing it for years. I personally think he's finally getting the attention he deserves.
Electronic instrumental, some weird voice(Madlib style) and Murs coasts the beat perfectly.

To finish this one, just droppin an indie laid back track. Just take a seat and chill.



enjoy your Sunday.

droppin by

Reflection Eternal is baaaacck. Hip Hop duo composed of producer/DJ Hi-Tek and emcee Talib Kweli. They released their only and 1st CD(Train of Thought) in 2000 and is actually one of my personal favorites. Classic,funky,groovy hip hop beats topped with one of the best modern emcee.

They pre-leaked 3 songs in the last weeks with 2 video clips. GOOD shit, cant wait for the album to drop this summer, perfect vibe for the sunny days. Love the "In this world" joint.



Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - In This World
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - Strangers feat. Bun B
Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek - Back Again

BONUS: new Playaz Circle / Lil Wayne single, still some autotune by Lil Wayne but whatever chill summer car song i guess...

Playaz Circle feat. Lil Wayne & Birdman - Big Dawg
And if you don't know who's Playaz Circle, well you will probably remember the 1st single they did with weezy, it was a smaaaaashing hit.
Playaz Circle feat. Lil Wayne - Duffle Bag Boy
