After a slew of great singles, AUTOMatic’s “Marathon” is now available in full today.

Read moreAUDIO: AUTOMatic – “You Don’t Love Me”
In advance of their upcoming album, “Marathon”, AUTOMatic recently put out their third advance single, “You Don’t Love Me”. A departure from most local hip hop, this single switches up the style completely, with an introspective break-up track. While there is a switch in tempo, there’s no drop off from A.P.R.I.M.E. and Trellmatic. The production has a very late 80’s

The duo of Kid Millions and Sage Schwarm, better known as The Sounds of Time to some, are known for creating old-school, synth infused hip hop. There’s a boatload of funk, and even some disco tossed into the blender as well, but the end result definitely invokes the nostalgia of a simpler time in music. The Sounds of Time bring
