RAJA- "That Girl" ft. Starchild

This is a nostalgic track done right. Everything about this song is oozing with flashbacks to another time, but the faded memory of that time. Even though that memory is old and faded it can still be remembered with a golden hue that makes it feel timeless and makes you wish you were there. The bass line and vocals done by Starchild are what really make this song have that impeccable effect that is so rare, done seemingly with ease here. The whole essence of the nostalgia washes over the listener like a wave and never lets go. This is helped by the tape edit, which delivers that extra retro vibe.

RAJA- "Blank CD"

Another video from the New York-based solo beat project known as RAJA. Like previous tracks from the project, "Blank CD" features a really chilly atmosphere that's punctuated with punchy hip hop beats. The snares his this really tinny, trap music style to 'em that I'm digging a lot, too.

Raja- "Vapor Trails"

A new video from the one-man, New York-based beatmusic project Raja. The track is "Vapor Trails," and it comes from one of three albums the project has released this year. The album this song lands on, Witch, is the darkest release of the three. Like "Vapor Trails," some of the tracks feature some Southern trap beats mixed with some moody synths and effects. Enjoy!

RAJA- Witch

So, here's a link to a mysterious looking beat tape that a few people had sent me on Twitter a few days ago.

Truth is, I'm sent a lotta compilations of short, odd instrumentals. At first, I thought this would be nothing new, but over the course of the thirty tracks on this album--titled Witch--RAJA manages to pull together some pretty interesting sounds. He's not takin' me to far-off galaxy in a Cosmogramma kinda way, but this dude's got some tricks up his sleeve.

Stream Witch above, and download it on RAJA's Bandcamp.
