Big Sean - Home

"I walk up in this b*tch, like do I need an introduction? When you livin' out your dreams, sleeps an interruption..."

No real word on whether or not this will be on Finally Famous: The Album, but hell it's a chill song to enjoy with this beautiful weather on Long Island.

Lil Wayne - How To Love (prod. Detail)

With "6 Foot 7 Foot" Wayne proved that he was back and ready to work. With "John" he had a hit because he was working with the hottest artist (Rick Ross) and producer (Lex Luger) in the game at the time. Now with "What Is Love" Wayne seems to be turning to his softer side. Love it or hate it, expect it on the radio very soon.

In the past few months, I've highlighted a few videos from this young soon-to-be star out of Miami, including his single "Good Girls", a cover of "All of the Lights", and a cover of Wiz's "Black and Yellow". On June 7th the 17-year-old artist will release his full project,which Pharrell has helped him with, titled "Foreword". Be sure to check back here that day as well, as we will most certainly have a link for you. Go ahead and "read more" to see the tracklist and to check out another song of his that won't be featured on the album.

Asher Roth - Last Man Standing ft. Akon

We heard the snippet a while back, now check out the full version of the track that will serve as the second single off Asher's next album (which is still left untitled). It's a shame that they got rid of the title The Spaghetti Tree. I was kind of feeling that. *sarcasm*

The Weeknd - Rolling Stone

Even with recent information leaking and the release of some of his older tracks (including a Drake demo), The Weeknd still remains a mystery man to many. That is, until he performs at the upcoming OVO Festival in Toronto alongside Drake and Rick Ross. This track could be from his upcoming Thursday project.

Fortunate Ones - Sleepless Nights & Numb Hearts [Mixtape]

See below for the tracklist and download link.

Sleepless Nights represent the evenings we spent perfecting our craft, the nights of mischief, the nights with friends that are embedded in our minds, the nights with women we lust & the nights we created music. Numb Hearts represent the isolation from temptations on those sleepless nights, as well as the ability to own a numb heart for anyone with an opinion regarding our vision, the ability to show no emotion and not let emotions impair our judgment, as well as a fearless attitude towards taking risks accompanied by a nonchalant approach solely based on logic.

After a long (very long) weekend, I have fallen behind on some dope new music that has dropped between Thursday and today.

Big Boi - The Crown Life [Video]

"In celebration of Crown Royal Black's partnership with Big Boi, cameras went behind the scenes to document Big Boi in compelling moments of his life and career that showcase his definition of "The Crown Life." The short film lets audiences into Big Boi's life as he performed during the 2011 Grammy Awards weekend; inside his studio, Stankonia, as he prepares for his latest projects; and an evening out on the town in his hometown of Atlanta with stops at his favorite spots to unwind."

Blu - j e s u s ▲

A very unexpected, new project from the man Blu put together in very Blu-like fashion. The tracks all seem like rough copies, but with production from Blu himself (as GODlee Barnes), as well as 9th Wonder, Alchemist, Madlib, Hezekiah, Knxwledge, and Nathan, it's worth a listen at least.

Frank Ocean - Novacane [Live]

With Odd Future performing at the Highline Ballroom in NYC on Friday the 13th (why didn't I know about this?), Frank Ocean hit the stage to perform "Novacane". Apparently this song has been burning up the radio on Hot97. Unfortunately, I don't listen to the radio enough to realize that but it's still awesome to hear.

Kanye West - Gold Digger ft. Jamie Foxx [Live]

The Kid Daytona - Padma (So Buttery) [Video]

It's great to see that The Kid Daytona is still dropping visuals from The Interlude.

Click the picture to download his iHate Blaque Keyz Vol. 2 mixtape.

DJ Khaled - I'm On One ft. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne

For some reason Blogger has been down since last night so I haven't been able to update as per usual (and somehow I lost posts?). So, it's time to do some catching up starting with a track that I can actually see myself vibe out to from DJ Khaled's upcoming album We The Best Forever. Drake kills this!

Rick Ross - Maybach Music III

Another week, another video with Rick Ross. This time he's going back to his Teflon Don album, but the video only features Ross' verse.

Focus... - Music Of The Misinterpreted [Album]

You can't say no to some more free music, especially when it's coming from Focus... and features so many dope features like Phonte, Nottz, Sha Stimuli, and Rapper Big Pooh. Hit the jump for album stream and download.

Adele, Amy Winehouse, & Aloe Blacc Form Supergroup: Truth & Soul

For anybody that was watching Game 4 of the Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat game tonight, you may have seen the commercial for Rockstar Games' upcoming release L.A. Noire. Rockstar is going all out for this game, releasing two soundtracks along with it. The first soundtrack will consist of jazz music sounding like that of the 1940s, while the other will be a short 6-track EP consisting of modern artists creating their own sound to jazz golden era tracks. One song from the latter soundtrack, a remake of Louis Jordan's "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens", will be produced by hip-hop's legendary producer DJ Premier (which can be streamed under the cut). Another track will be a remake of Gene Krupa's "Sing Sing Sing" and will be redone by a group by the name of Truth & Soul, who we just found out from Complex is made up of three amazing artists by the name of Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Aloe Blacc (ever hear of them? *jokes*). One can only hope that they enjoy working together, create a great product, and decide to continue their work together in the future.

Jim Jones - Believe Magic ft. Lloyd (prod. Girl Talk)

The latest episode of the Pitchfork.tv series "Selector" is pretty special. In a deviated from the usual "Selector" formula (in which rappers choose from two beats produced by indie artists for a freestyle backing track), we brought Dipset MC Jim Jones and mashup maestro Girl Talk together in Jones' Nomad District studio. Together, they created a new track: "Believe in Magic", produced by Girl Talk using a sample of 1970s soul group Honey Cone's "Want Ads" and freestyled by Jones. Jones liked the results much that he brought in R&B crooner Lloyd to contribute a hook and plans to release it as a single in the near future.

This is a pretty dope idea brought together by Pitchfork.tv, and Girl Talk did a crazy job with the beat, but I don't feel like Jim Jones is the right person for this song.

Nero - Skew It On The Bar-B Freestyle

It's great to see that the kid Nero is finally back.

DJ Drama - Words Of Wisdom ft. Lil Wayne, Mack Maine, & Kevin Cossom

This could be a track from Drama's Gangsta Grillz 3: The Album. Kevin Cossom seems to be getting a lot of features in recent hip hop songs, which is understandable because he has come with some nice hooks, but this was nothing special and Mack Maine bothers me every time I hear him for some reason. So, I basically listened to the Wayne verse (which also wasn't too impressive in my opinion) and was off that.
