Diddy ft. Skylar Grey - Coming Home (DJ Scene...
I’m glad somebody did a remix like this cus I absolutely hate Puff’s part of the record.

As President George W. Bush once famously and eloquently stated “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
Eminem & Royce Da 5’9″ – Fast Lane
Yep, this is about as dope as you’d think. Nicely, done gentlemen. Look for the Eminem & Royce collabo EP Bad Meets Evil on June 14th.
TV Off - Easy (Picture Me)
TV OFF released their first album in May 2010 and are now working on their second album, which will be released in fall 2011. The band has attracted attention from major labels and publishers, performed around Europe (including The Great Escape Festival 2009, Ja Ja Ja @ The Lexington London, Popkomm in Berlin), and got very positive reviews from around the blogosphere, leading to a couple of...
Swizz Beatz x Eve x Gilbere Forte' - Everyday...
Gilbere Forte teams up with Hitmaker Swizz Beatz and fellow Philadelphia phenom Eve for a remix of their smash hit “Everyday (Coolin’)”. Forte’s cleverness never ceases as he turns this already classic beat on it’s head. Continue to be on the look out for more tracks from Forte as he nears the release of his next mixtape.

Couldn’t they have been even slightly organic with the Nuvo product placement?
Video: Fam-Lay - What's My Name
I was completely unaware that Fam-Lay was still around.
Jessica 6 ft. Antony Hegarty - Prisoner of Love
Via Urb:
In 2008, vocalist Antony Hegarty helped put disco/house revivalists Hercules and Love Affair on the musical map with his divine vox on “Blind,” one of the year’s finest records. The absence of Antony on subsequent H&LA releases hasn’t slowed the group down, but those who miss the sultry baritone will be thrilled to hear it appear on “Prisoner of Love,” the new single by former...
The Beastie Boys ft. Nas - Too Many Rappers
“Too many rappers and there’s still not enough MCs”. You said it Nas…you said it.
Catch the Beastie’s new album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 dropping May 3rd.
Mixtape: Frank Ocean - The Lonny Breaux Collection
I hate being late on material from artists I really like, but two weeks late??? Damn, I’m slipping.
Everybody’s soon to be favorite R&B dude from OFWGKTA dropped The Lonny Breaux Collection a couple weeks ago which is literally 63 tracks of unreleased material. So if you’re not fully familiar with Frank by now, you will be after listening to this.

Santigold ft. Karen O - Go (prod. by Q-Tip)
From Santigold:
In this song, ‘GO’ has a dual meaning. On one hand it’s a challenge, beckoning any would-be usurpers to come show and prove. On the other, it’s a call to myself to rise to the occasion. ‘Go’ is a “fun” song. It’s playful, but like many of my songs, lyrically it was an opportunity for me to vent. It’s about the difficulties of holding onto what’s yours,...
Kardinal Offishall ft. Lil'Jon, Pitbull & Clinton...
From Clinton Sparks:
Hey guys, Heres a new record produced by myself & my partner DJ Snake. Its called “Smash The Club” & Features Pitbull, Kardinal Offishall, Lil’Jon & myself.. It is one of the MANY songs I recorded while working on my album. Anyhow, my album has taken on a new sound which you can actually hear a song off my album on my site clintonsparks.com as...

Not sure how I feel about this ambient little track, which happens to be the third release off of Death Cab’s upcoming album Codes and Keys.

Digitalism - 2 Hearts
This isn’t the typical electro dance record that you’re used to from Digitalism. It’s much, much more indie-rock…and by much more, I mean it is an indie rock record. But, that doesn’t mean it’s not really good.
Look for “2 Hearts” on Digitalism’s upcoming album, I Love You, Dude on June 13th.
Digitalism - 2 Hearts by Freeman PR
Beyonce - Girls (Who Run the World) (Prod. By...
Yea, I never thought I’d post a Beyonce’ record on here either. Shouts to Diplo and Switch for selling B a record they made 2 years ago…and Puff used the drums on 6 months ago. Her fans won’t be the wiser though.
jj - My Life (The Game ft. Lil' Wayne Cover) from...
Via Brandon Jermaine:
Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello recently announced ad budgets should reach as high as 100 million. At the rate EA is releasing video content, it seems money is no object. The first nationally televised commercial for Battlefield 3 was shown over the weekend. And like any smart marketer for a shooting game should, during the male demographic dominated New York...
Estelle ft. Rick Ross - Break My Heart
It’s killing me to know what the sample is on this track. If anybody sees Mr. Morgan in the next day or so, tell him to let me know.
Freelance Whales - Hannah (Easy Does It Remix)
A little indie-pop, a little dub. Interesting.

I can’t be bothered with paying homage to forefathers.
Interview: Organizing Chaos with Christian Clancy...
Via AlLindstrom:
In the second part of our interview with Odd Future’s Manager Christian Clancy, we talk about the first time he met with Odd Future. He also talks about trying to help build careers for all of the members in the group, and his style of management. Finally we try and find an answer to the question that plagues everyone about Odd Future: “How will this group transition to...
Lady Gaga - Judas
I’d gladly pay 30 pieces of silver to never hear this bastard child of “Bad Romance” and “Poker Face” again.
Milli Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True
Rob from Milli Vanilli died 13 years ago today. It’s only right to post up their best record…in my humble opinion (even if they didn’t actually sing it).

Throwback Thursday: The Dove Shack - Summertime...
It’s starting to get warm outside and nothing says summer like The Dove Shack’s 1995 joint “Summertime In The LBC”.
Throwback Thursday: Cypress Hill - How I Could...
“How I Could Just Kill a Man” is the debut single by hip hop group Cypress Hill from their eponymous debut album, Cypress Hill, and was their first major hit in 1991. It was released as a double A-side to “The Phuncky Feel One” and the music video featured cameos by A Tribe Called Quest’s Q-Tip and Ice Cube, with whom the group would later feud. It was re-released...
Throwback Thursday: The Alkaholiks ft. ODB - Hip...
“Hip Hop Drunkies” is the lead single off The Alkaholiks third album, Likwidation, and became the group’s biggest hit in 1997, peaking at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The track flips the legendary piano sample from The Juice Crew’s “The Symphony”.

Tiësto & Hardwell - Zero 76 (Original Mix)
via rcrdlbl:
Tiësto’s arguably the biggest Dj in the world right now, but that doesn’t seem to deter him from wanting to get even bigger. “Zero 76”, produced in collaboration with Dutch up-and-comer Hardwell, certainly sounds like it has its sights set on global domination: an invasive, all-conquering house banger that threatens to leave the earth behind and wander off...
Kendrick Lamar – HiiiPoWeR (Prod. by J. Cole)
With so many bandwagons quickly filling up, there’s still room on the Kendrick Lamar one and you’d be wise to hop on it. Just a warning though, it runs through Compton.

Beastie Boys - Tadlock's Glasses
Here’s a rip from the Zane Lowe Show on BBC Radio 1 of another Beastie Boys track off their upcoming album, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2. The Beastie’s sound so good with their vocals are put through the phase-shifter.

Movie: TV on the Radio - “Nine Types of Light”
TV on the Radio’s Nine Types of Light album dropped today. To accompany it, the band also released an hour long film.
Nine Types of Light is as much an album as it is a movie by TV on the Radio. The movie is meant to be a visual re-imagining of the record, and includes a music video for every song on the album. The band personally asked their friends and the filmmakers they admired to...

Royce Da 5’9″ Ft. Eminem – Writer’s Block
Royce leaked this via his Twitter on Friday. I was hoping for an actual Eminem verse, but he just on the track for hook purposes.

Sade ft. Jay-Z - The Moon & The Sky
A little neo-soul, a little hip hop. All good. Check for “The Moon & The Sky” on Sade’s upcoming greatest hits album.

Chiddy Bang ft. Mac Miller - Heatwave
I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been anti Mac Miller for a while now. But for some reason, over the last couple of months, the little dude has started to grow on me. Is his lyrical content anything to brag about? No. But the kid can flat out rap even if his topics are directed at that 18 and under weed head crowd.
Mac teams up with fellow Pennsylvania natives Chiddy Bang...

Freelance Whales - Generator 1st Floor (From...
So there I was, sitting on my couch getting some work done, when a Starbucks commercial came on the TV. After about 5 seconds, I realized that I knew the song playing in the background. Not only did I know it, but I loved it. It was one of my favorite tracks of 2010. Oh, and to top it off, my dude Gilbere Forte’ used it for one of his joints on his 1987 mixtape.

Holy Ghost! - Wait & See
“Wait And See” is a perfect example of what NYC duo Holy Ghost!’s upcoming self titled debut album (out April 12th on DFA) is all about…shiny/discoy electropop at it’s finest.

Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise
Great to hear the Beastie Boys back sounding like they should. I’m still recovering from the To The 5 Boroughs debacle of an album.
The Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise by Brian Gaffey
Via The Fader:
It’s a miracle that Alabama’s own melancholy futurist production team Block Beataz are only now getting involved in this song, as it fits their sound perfectly. And actually, it’s pretty subdued even for them, temporarily abandoning their tendency for grabbing samples from huge cheese-house songs and instead throwing some appropriately smooth, but dramatic strings that are a...
