Brazillian songstress Cibelle, err… I mean her… alter ego Sonja Khalecallon, has recorded a cover-version of Raymond Scott’s Lifeworks, or as it’s probably better known, the main sample from J-Dilla’s Lightworks. There’s a lot of pressure riding on anyone who thinks their interpretation of this song can hold it’s own against Dilla’s, but Sonja triumphantly manages. And on top of that, the song is paired with some pretty spectacular visuals. Check it out.
I know this is old. But in light of the news that Thom Yorke is featured on Flying Lotus’ upcoming sophomore album, Cosmogramma, I figured I might as well throw this up on the site. Until then, this will have to do.

Chris Faust (I’m done calling him Print) has been consistently impressive in his lyrical ability and beat selection. But he’s only getting better and better. I’m assuming this is off his upcoming project FAUST, so I’m assuming that this epic backdrop comes from producer Ibe. Coco Sarai lends some excellent crooning into the mix to really fill out the atmosphere. And Chris Faust does his damn thing on the track, again proving he’s not just that dude that raps about comic books. I’m really impressed by the track, and definitely looking forward to FAUST, as well as some of the other projects he’s got in the works (Comic Books Unlimited 2: Villainous sound good to anyone else?).

The 2008 cult classic from Durlin Lurt now has a home. Sounding more fun and filthier than ever, the conceptual work spans the alphabet (twenty six tracks, with many familiar guest features) sampling you-know-who through an experimental hip-hop lens that is unique and absurdly organic.
Glad to hear it, because this is an absolutely genius project. Really grimey, heavily experimental hip hop that now, through the help of Leaving Records, will hopefully be able to reach more people’s ears. Download the album below.

I’m totally new to this band, but I’m already blown away and won over. Not only is the music fantastic, but the visuals are well-handled. They’re fresh off the release of their sophomore album, Trilogi, which I’m going to go ahead and recommend it off of the small handful of tracks I’ve heard so far. It’s currently available on CD and digitally (through iTunes), with a vinyl coming in the next couple of weeks. Check out their site for more details.
Looks like Adult Swim is resurrecting the legendary Atlanta party, with a musical featuring T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne, Cee-Lo, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, Big Boi, Andy Samberg, and others. Exciting.

Here’s an interesting concept. Take an instrumental and rap over it for a remix. Then take the acapella and change up the beat. It’s an entirely new song, completely independent of the original. But it wasn’t made that way. I gotta say this remix of the AOK collective’s Incredible Freestyle definitely feels like an upgrade over the original. That being said, the original is dope in and of itself too, so you really can’t go wrong whichever you choose. Definitely check out the updated beat courtesy of the Soundmen, and get ready for P.So’s upcoming Earthtones remixtape, Moontones.

Ellie Goulding is slated to officially release her debut single, Starry Eyed in the near future. Included with the release will be this remix, done by up and coming producers Penguin Prison and some great vocal contributions from Theophilus. Nothing but good things to say about this track. Definitely gonna be a party starter.
The Dangermouse and James Mercer collaborative effort, Broken Bells, is still a month or so away from being released. In the meantime, definitely check out their single, The High Road, as well as this corresponding music video. This project has had some gorgeous visuals surrounding it, so it’s no surprise that the music video is strong conceptually and aesthetically.
