A collaboration between DJ Green Lantern, the former DJ for Eminem’s Shady Records, and Styles P of The LOX, The Green Ghost Project sounds exactly like what it is: a bunch of talented guys coming together to make hip-hop they themselves would actually listen to.

K-Os has always been one of those artists on the brink of success. Maybe it’s his Canadian heritage that’s holding him back; his smooth hip-hop has swiftly flown under the musical radar for nearly all of his 17-year career.

All lush vocals and sultry piano, “Crave You” is, in a word, captivating.

Alkaline Trio’s last two releases, Crimson and Agony & Irony, saw them stepping away from their roots.
