Most blogged artists: ScHoolboy Q, Toro Y Moi

NEW YORK, Aug 22 — American hip-hop artist ScHoolboy Q enters the Hype Machine’s most blogged artists charts today, while Toro y Moi re-enters the charts in 10th position.

ScHoolboy Q is causing a buzz on the blogs after dropping his new track “Party” produced by Kenny Beats.

“Party” was produced as part of record label TDE (Top Dawg Entertainment) Appreciation Week and Passion Weiss had this to say about it: “The song is called ‘Party’, it’s about a party, it would sound good at a party.”

American artist Chazwick Bundick, better known as Toro y Moi, is getting bloggers’ attention after dropping two tracks — “Fetch” and “Taken” — from his side project Les Sins.

These tracks, and others, will be out on Caribou’s JIAOLONG label at some point next week.

70 Day Weekend describes “Fetch” as “a more standard dance track”, and “Taken” as having “a bit of a house music feel”.
