Another young MC harkening out of Chicago, 20-year-old Mayo has all the ingredients to blow up – a slew of styles, big name guest appearances and a solid production. His latest single, “Memories,” should evoke fond reflections for many—namely those who have experienced relationships that have ultimately slipped away. “This song embodies what I went through in my last relationship with someone I thought was everything I needed, but turned out being everything I didn’t want or need,” Mayo explains. Mr. Carmack handles production duties, cooking up a smooth beat that perfectly captures the nostalgic mood, while Sydney Jay’s stirring vocals only add to the appeal. Listen below.

Stooki Sound was supposed to bless New York City with an hour long set at the Governor’s Ball silent disco on June 9th, but they cancelled the appearance. We’d like to think they had a very good reason for skipping out because it’s a shame- damn near a crime- to hide their new exclusive mix from the public.
East London duo, DJ Lukey and Jelacee are Stooki Sound, a brand new production crew deep into the trap sound. Their new 45 minute cut of remixes should definitely be on the summer playlist of anyone who enjoys a high quality, electronic UK sound with tons of sub-bass and beats that are loaded with grimy, energetic rap lyrics. When listening to this mix, we’re not sure if we want to rave or riot, but either way, Stooki Sound’s new Soundcloud cut is sure to put your speakers through a workout.
