The eight-song set salutes recent adds to the Fool's Gold team, including Salva, Giraffage, High Klassified, Hoodboi, Gladiator and more. On top of serving up bass R&B tracks from Brenmar, Shash'u's "power funk" and TroyBoi's trap beats, the freelease comes equipped with "digital collector cards" featuring stats on the artists.

"To me, all these new signings represent the sound of 2014 and beyond," label head A-Trak said in a statement, adding of the bonds between all of the Fool's Gold artists, "We bring them in and they're immediately part of the family."
