INSTANT HIT: New Beyonce Single “Grown Woman” Leaks Online

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Bow down, bitches.

When not swatting away rumors that she is pregnant for the second time, Beyonce has been busy teasing fans with the promise of new music on the horizon. Back in March we were all knocked sideways when her Hit-Boy produced effort “Bow Down / I Been On” found its way online, and this morning (May 21) we’re once again sitting at our computers stunned at what Bey has been able to deliver.

“Grown Woman” was originally previewed for Beyonce’s devout followers when the songstress began appearing in her own series of Pepsi ads earlier this year. At …

Lupe Fiasco Debuts “Animal Pharm”

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Chicago rappers are clogging our news feed today, but we are by no means complaining about it.

With the release of his forthcoming album Tetsuo & Youth inching closer by the week, Lupe Fiasco took to the internet late last night, May 20, to release a new (free) single entitled “Animal Pharm.” As you may expect, the song offers a modern reinterpretation of George Orwell’s allegorical novel Animal Farm, which reflected on events leading up to the Russian Revolution of 1917 and then on into the Stalin era in the Soviet Union. Fiasco’s verses have nothing to do with …

T.I. And Lil Wayne Team Up On “Wit Me”

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Just a bit ahead of their plans to tour the country together throughout the Summer, T.I. and Lil Wayne have released a new collaborative effort titled “Wit Me.”

Backed by one of the most exciting beats so far this year, “Wit Me” plays like a lyrical contest between T.I. and Lil Wayne. Say what you will about either rapper and their most recent full length, but both emcees go in full force on this track, and I’m not sure which comes out on top. You can stream the song below and decide for yourself.

As someone who left Lil Wayne’s …

HOLY SH!T: Stone Temple Pilots Replace Scott Weiland With Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington?

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

The world of rock and roll is up in arms this morning over news the Stone Temple Pilots may have finally found a fitting replacement for troubled frontman Scott Weiland.

Last night, STP made a surprise appearance at KROQ’s Weenie Roast music festival in Irvine, California fronted by Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington. The group ran through their hits, all with Bennington behind the mic, and this morning a new single featuring his vocals has found its way online. You can stream that song, which is entitled “Out Of Time,” at the end of this post.

If you had told …

Capture The Crown Premiere “Rebearth” Featuring Telle Smith

May 20th, 2013 James Shotwell

Australian metalcore outfit Capture The Crown have released a stream of a brand new single entitled “Rebearth.”

Featuring guest vocals from The Word Alive frontman Telle Smith, “Rebearth” ushers in the next era of Capture The Crown’s abrasive sound. The song is lyrically, musically, and structurally miles beyond anything found on the band’s debut, which probably explains the rush to get the song out in stores as soon as possible. You see, when their debut Til Death was released it contained literally every song in the group’s catalog (for better or worse). Now that the group has traveled the world …

UTG CRUSH: Stream Lana Del Rey’s Leaked Single “Queen Of Disaster”

May 17th, 2013 James Shotwell

Forget about TGIF. Today at UTG HQ we’re screaming T-G-F-L-D-R (Thank God For Lana Del Rey).

Just weeks after she made us weak in the knees with her heartbreaking Great Gatsby contribution “Young And Beautiful,” a new single from Lana Del Rey entitled “Queen Of Disaster” has found it way online. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic.

Inspired by Summer and the most timeless 60s pop, “Queen Of Disaster” is a dizzying ode to young love and the trouble it finds. Lana’s angelic vocals soar perfectly over a sock hop ready drum beat and swirling strings that are a disco ball shy …

French Montana Recruits The Weeknd For “Gifted”

May 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

Love him or hate him, it’s hard to deny French Montana’s knack for partnering with the biggest names in the industry. He’s the rapping equivalent to DJ Khaled in terms of collaborations, and today’s new single is no different.

Letting Canadian heartthrob The Weeknd take center stage, “Gifted” pairs the Montana and the crooner against a relatively empty beat. The focus is supposed to be on the lyrics, and we could argue for hours over whether or not Montana should think his mic skills deserving of such a spotlight (spoiler: they’re not), but there is no denying the exciting atmosphere …

On My Honor Stream “Time To Heal”

May 15th, 2013 James Shotwell

Kicking off the day with stiff glass of pop punk, our friends at Absolutepunk have partnered with On My Honor to premiere “Time To Heal.”

Tennessee may not be the first place you think of when considering the next generation of pop punk heavyweights, but one listen to “Time To Heal” will give you a fresh outlook. The group’s forthcoming album, I Never Deserve The Things I Need , is going to be the firing pistol on their ascent through the scene when it arrives June 11. If you are not familiar with the group’s heartfelt take on the genre, …

SINGLE REVIEW: Design The Skyline – “Deathgaze”

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

Artist: Design The Skyline
Track: “Deathgaze”
Genre: Metalcore
Label: Victory

Design The Skyline arrived on Victory Records already being considered a joke by many in the heavy music community. At the time, the band used the current fads of the scene as crutches on which to hoist their generic-yet-intense brand of metalcore. Genre fans cried foul, as did label fans, and by the time their debut arrived a wide selection of press had already stopped covering the group’s activities. Victory has never been one to admit that it has made a mistake, however, and this morning the lead single off …

A$AP Ferg Streams “Work” Remix Featuring A$AP Rocky, French Montana, ScHoolBoy Q, and Trinidad James

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

The takeover of hip hop by A$AP Mob inches a bit further ahead this morning with the release of A$AP Ferg’s star-studded remix to “Work.”

Debuting on A$AP Mob’s website via Soundcloud overnight, the official “Work” remix pairs the A$AP heavyweight with new verses from French Montana, A$AP Rocky, ScHoolBoy Q, and young favorite Trinidad James. The final product is a banger overall, but the quality of each appearance is debatable. James’ lack of experience in music is starting to show about as often as he references lyrics from his hit “All Gold Everything.” Likewise, Rocky’s verse takes a decidedly …

REQUIRED LISTENING: The Notorious B.I.G. – “Everyday Struggle” (Dead Battery Remix)

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

The number of remixes that are submitted to UTG is sometimes ridiculous. Whether it’s unknown rappers trying to cash in on a popular beat with their own poorly-produced freestyle, or a DJ trying to make a classic track their own, people constantly contact us about posting their interpretation of previously successful tracks. For the most part, these messages don’t offer much in the form of quality content, but every now and then something comes through that makes us stop and say “Wow.” This post is about one such track.

Austrian producer, Dead Battery, has released a refreshing new version of …

Gucci Mane Recruits 2 Chainz For “Use Me”

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Atlanta has been a hotbed for urban music for the better part of the last decade, and today two of its biggest names collide for a banger that may just leave your speakers smoking.

Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz have joined forces to deliver “Use Me,” a Gucci-lead track that boasts a beat so ferocious you can literally do nothing to prevent it from linking with that part of your soul that loves good bass usage and making you convulse intensely for the better part of four minutes. 2 Chainz leads things off with his strongest bars in recent memory, …
