Month: April 2013

Get excited for June when the new Empire Of The Sun album, Ice on the Dune, finally drops. I haven't been able to sit still since I saw a trailer for the album a few months ago, and now there is a music video! Check out the video for the killer electro-duo's new single, "Alive." Like with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," you'll find yourself singing the chorus in your head the rest of 8th block. loving every minute cause you make me feel so alive

This new track by long time Atlanta star Rocko brings a unique twist to southern rap's recent maximalist streak by toning the frequency down and creating a woozy, ambient groove. Future's practically whispers his auto-tune drenched hook for a perfectly faded effect. The original version of this track drew a lot of controversy over a lyric from Ross that had women's groups across america protesting, eventually losing him a multi-million dollar Reebok deal. In his absence, this remix showcases a particularly good verse from wiz, clearly forcing himself to experiment with new flows, but is actually one of 6, each with a different feature, to be released every week. Over indulgent? Sure. But the all-star roster has already included A$AP, 2 chainz, French Montana and, rumor has it, Kenrick &...

NEW DAFT PUNK! In another month the new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories, will finally arrive and everyone's summer will be filled with fresh french tunes to boogie down. To help stave off your salivating lips, the first song has been leaked (now released by the band) and features Nile Rodgers of the 70's disco band Chic and the great Pharrell Williams (the Neptunes and N.E.R.D.). Enjoy, and save the date May 21st when Random Access Memories hits the shelves.

This unreleased track was originally meant for the album. Its a hidden gem because of the thick, textured beat by producer Canai Finch, that's both soulful and aggressive masterfully. Standout verses from both Kendrick and Jeezy. Kendrick Lamar - Westside Right On Time (feat. Young Jeezy)
