Big K.R.I.T. (Last King 2: God's Machine (Mixtape)) [2011]

Not as good as Big K.R.I.T.'s last release, but it is a mixtape and that is sometimes to be expected. Nonetheless, here are a few that stood out:

2. The Big Payback (Prod. by Big K.R.I.T.)


6. Pimps (Remix) Feat. 2 Chainz & Bun B


8. Fulla Shit Feat. Yelawolf & RITTZ [SKIP THROUGH THE CHORUS]


22. Rotating Valets (DJ Breakem Off Mix) Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Bun B

Kendrick Lamar (Section.80) [2011]

People are all about this album. Now I'm not saying the man isn't talented (even though his style is a little different), I just would like to have heard an album with better beats because his flow can be ridiculous if the beat allows it! Just listen to his potential... he reminds me of an angry Kanye West but with a quicker tongue.

2. Hol' Up


3. A.D.H.D [Official Music Video]


12. Rigamortis


14. Blow My High (Members Only)


16. HiiiPower [Official Music Video]

Madlib (Shades of Blue) [2003]

Apparently I have never posted anything from Madlib on this blog, or anything by his other monikers: Mind Altering Demented Lessons In Beats, Quasimoto, or one half of the duo of Madvillain. So here, this is one of his earlier releases in which he teams up with Blue Note Records to remix a set of old jazz records. I absolutely love this style of music and having not listened to it for so long, I forgot how great it really was. The addition of a few hip-hop elements into classic jazz is always a good idea. Definitely check this out if you haven't before:

3. Distant Land


4. Mystic Bounce


7. Please Set Me At Ease (Hip Hop Mix)

Kids These Days "Clear Eyes" [2011]

Just came across this brand new Kids These Days single. It is alright, super mellow...

Clear Eyes (Prod. by Blended Babies)

Dom Kennedy (From the Westside With Love II (Mixtape)) [2011]

Haven't listened to any track but New Jeeps...

13. New Jeeps ft. Asher Roth & Mikey Rocks (Prod. by Chuck Inglish)

Rockie Fresh & Casey Veggies "Duckin N Dodgin" [2011]

Here's a new single from Rockie Fresh & Casey Veggies, neither of which I know anything about. The beat is dank, but the lyrics could certainly be better.

Duckin N Dodgin

LCD Soundsystem (This is Happening) [2010]

This is the best LCD Soundsystem full-length album ever released, and Dance Yrself Clean is the jam!

1. Dance Yrself Clean

LCD Soundsystem (Sound of Silver) [2007]

This is my favorite LCD Soundsystem track and it is off of Sound of Silver, which wasn't their best album weirdly enough.

5. Someone Great

LCD Soundsystem "45:33" [2006]

If you've never heard LCD Soundsystem, you've certainly been in the dark. Now may be too late to start becoming a fan (as they recently broke up), but they're still amazing and their music deserves to be posted. Here is a 45 minute 58 second long track composed by James Murphy (the group's creator) as part of a promotional Nike run mix entitled "45:33" and don't be surprised if you get lost in it. The only way for me to provide links to it is in parts and there are no links available to the last 20 minutes of the song...sorry.

Part 1 (Ignore the youtube titles, they're wrong)


Part 2 (Ignore the youtube titles, they're wrong)


Part 3 (Ignore the youtube titles, they're wrong)

G-Eazy (The Endless Summer (Mixtape)) [2011]

I've been listening to G-Eazy's music for a while now but haven't posted anything because none of his tracks are ever really 5 stars. However, he just put out this mixtape together with some of his better attempts at music. The problem with his music is that he sometimes comes across as childish or it sounds like he is trying to make his voice raspier than it really is. Beats are nice though...

3. Runaround Sue


5. Make-Up Sex


7. All I Could Do (Sample from LCD Soundsystem's Dance Yourself Clean)


8. Waspy


10. Run ft. Team Robot

Jay-Z & Kanye West (Watch The Throne) [2011]

Definitely better than Jay-Z and Kanye West's last albums. Take a listen...

3. Niggas in Paris


5. Gotta Have It


7. That's My Bitch


9. Who Gon' Stop Me


10. Murder to Excellence

B.o.B aka Bobby Ray "High Life" [2011]

New single from Bobby Ray on his asian adventures...

High Life
