Frank Ocean - PDA [Unreleased Backstreet Boys Demo]
Maybe Frank Ocean has been the in the game much longer than we thought. This previously unreleased track from his Lonny Breaux days certainly has a familiar pop sound and may sound completely familiar to any major pop music fans out there. This demo was actually used by the Backstreet Boys for a song off their 2009 album This Is Us (yeah, I had no idea either). It's great to see some of Frank's old material starting to show up more often. Listening to his music from years ago definitely give us a good sense of his growth.

A-Trak x Mark Foster x Kimbra - Warrior [Video]
Converse's "Three Artists, One Song" series started with a Gorillaz/Andre 3000/James Murphy collab. Those big three names are a tough act to follow, but this mix of DJ A-Trak, Mark Foster (of Foster The People), and Kimbra (known for her performance on Gotye's 'Somebody I Used To Know') certainly held it's own in the series. It's gonna be interesting to see who else Converse has for us in the near future.

Drake - Take Care ft. Rihanna [Video] x HYFR [Video]
Two very different videos, but both equally as risky. I mean, who else can get away with filming their re-bar mitzvah and turning it into a music video other than Drake? Maybe Kanye if he was Jewish. Clearly 'Take Care' is the more dominant of the two tracks, but which video is everyone feeling more?

Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)
Usher's already-hot single gets an even more club-ready mix from the man Kaskade. It's not an easy feat to sharpen up a Diplo-produced track, but this certainly does the job.

Outasight - Believe In Me
Our man Outasight has been enjoying the huge success his 'Tonight Is The Night' single has been seeing while he continues to play shows and make guest appearances all over the country. This new track was put together for WWE's "Once In A Lifetime" special. We're hoping to hear a second single from his upcoming Warner debut album very soon.

Hoodie Allen - No Interruption [Video]
Being an avid follower of Hoodie's music since his Bagels & Beats EP (back when Hoodie Allen actually consisted of an emcee/producer duo), I've been waiting for this moment for quite some time. You see, Hoodie's been able to obtain his large following by doing two things: giving away music for free and using popular samples in his beats to create a quick sense of connection to any song. 'No Interruption' differs in both of those areas. Hoodie's first official single off his upcoming All American EP not only is a complete original (doesn't contain a single sample), but it's also your chance to support Hoodie for all of the free music he's given us over the past few years and go purchase it on iTunes. Enjoy this first single before the full project hits iTunes on April 10th.

The White Panda - Bambooyah! [Mixtape]
There are an incredible number of mashup artists out there, but very few have cornered the game quite like The White Panda duo have. This is their fourth album already and it's just as fun and energizing as any of their previous ones. Try to catch them at a show near you soon as they are currently traveling across the country on tour.

Cris Cab - Angels & Demons [Video]
It's only a matter of time now until Cris Cab is killing the game. His Echo Boom mixtape was no joke and sincerely proved that this kid is the next big thing. Backed by big names like Wyclef Jean and Pharrell Williams, Cris Cab will be the next big thing in the coming years.

Far East Movement - Candy ft. Pitbull
While this new movie about a wild house party has been getting a lot of attention, the soundtrack is apparently something that shouldn't be overlooked. With that being said, who better to lead the soundtrack to a movie about partying then some of the biggest names in party music?

Gorillaz - DoYaThing ft. Andre 3000 & James Murphy [Video]
Three of the most influential artists of our generations join forces for this collaboration sponsored by Converse. It's pretty cool to see a cartoonized 3 Stacks and even cooler to get a dope, rare verse from him.

Outasight - Tonight Is The Night (Timeflies remix) [Video]
As difficult as it is to remix a Top 40 hit, we all know that Timeflies is capable of extraordinary things. Take a listen to this dope spin they put on our man Outasight's current radio smash. The outcome is a completely original sound compared to that of the first version. That is how you make a remix.

Spree Wilson - Rare Moments
Already three leaks into his upcoming project, The Spark, and Spree Wilson is already leaving us wanting more. That release just can't come soon enough.
“‘Rare Moments’ is the closest I’ve ever come musically to my Nashville roots,” Wilson tells American Songwriter. “Growing up in Nashville, I’ve been a fan of country music, with songwriters like Johnny Cash and Gram Parsons being my absolute favorites. In some crazy way it’s probably my own little tribute to them. As for songwriting, I absolutely love a strong melody, so I always start with that first. The majority of the time it dictates the mood of the song and the lyrics. For me, songwriting is always unpredictable, so I never go in knowing exactly what is going to come out. It’s almost spiritual in that way … like going to church on Sunday and catching the Holy Ghost.”Previous: Spree Wilson - Sharpshooter [Lyric Video]

Jared Evan - Kill Me (prod. !llmind) [Video]
With already two monster singles and music videos down, Jared Evan's upcoming The 4th Chamber EP is shaping up to be killer. Jared's another one of those genre stretching artists that has the ability to reach out to so many different fans of music. That characteristic of sound makes it very possible to see him blow up in the near future.

Ester Dean - Gimme Money ft. Nicki Minaj
Here's a little knowledge for you: Ester Dean wrote Nicki Minaj's 'Super Bass' single. Also, doesn't this track seem a bit too much like 'Starships'? I think I've said enough.
