Last Tuesday, Raekwon dropped a heater on the rap game with the release of Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang. I've seen a lot of positive talk about this album, and if I do say so myself, it's very daNk . As you may recall, I had the chance to sit down with Rae and discuss the album not too long ago. I was subsequently invited to a listening party the next night. I was honestly a little tipsy but took notes on two songs in particular; "Chop Chop Ninja" and "From The Hills." Low and [...]

Mad Decent is back with another edition of the Free Gucci mixtape. The first one coming just over a year or so ago, it was extremely popular and I have to say pretty damn good. The latest, titled Free Gucci II: The Burrtish Edition has Sinden along with fellow British DJs/Producers remixing and reworking some [...]
The wait is over, a couple of days late Sinden now brings to you: "Free Gucci II - The Burrrtish Edition" Mixtape featuring the cream of the crop (as it comes to the male population) of the UK-scene. Here's what Sinden says about the process of the project: " On first listen to the instrumentals and acapellas, there were tracks that I know would be perfect for UK remixers and rappers and the slow Southern rap tempos were perfect for the Grime producers and MC's. Terror Danjah, who I've been a long term admirer of, [...]
The past days Sinden's followers on Twitter have seen the tweets about people pitching in for his upcoming "Free Gucci II" mixtape, set to drop on Friday.

It's Christmas time. I'm in a cabin in the woods. My stolen internet connection is worthless. My family is going through some stuff. I love you all but I'm just not able to give this post all the detailing that it deserves. I hope that you are too busy with your own holiday festivities to care and can just kick back and enjoy this collection of jams for the interesting mix that they are. Dive in and enjoy. I know I've been. For more jams or by any of these artists use the 'tags' links at [...]

Why, hello there! Welcome back from your week-long intake of turkey, tofurkey, and Harry Potter. But just because you got a vacation doesn't mean Portishead, U2, Kanye West, or Wolf Parade did. Well, I guess Wolf Parade will soon, but anyways... the point of the matter is stuff happened while you were gone, so we're now here to recap said stuff so you'll be completely up to date once you hit tomorrow's Blonde Redhead show and your friend asks you if you've heard the new Jamie xx remix of Gil-Scott Heron . So... [...]
Estelle and John Legend link up for The Duets , a free EP featuring some reworked songs and a take on Jay Electronica's "Shiny Suit Theory" (although Estelle's rhymes compared to Jay Electronica's are cringe-worthy at times). I'm a few days late, but there is some smooth stuff on here, and it's free, so take a listen, have a download, and have a good Saturday. Thanks to PMA . Related: John Legend & The Roots – Wake Up (Arcade Fire Cover)
The gift turkey swooped in on Fri and let loose a free EP from Estelle and John Legend, Sing & Flow . The seven song EP contains retooled songs from both artists (including Freedom) and cool new collabs (Estelle and Legend go in on Jay Elec's "Shiny Suit Theory"). "Freedom" has that early sort of Kanye sound, the sped-up soul samples, the laid back yet punchy drum tones and, yes, tones of of the Legend man. Despite no solo LP releases, 2010 has been kind to Ellen Degeneres' favorite soul singer. (The Wake Up LP w/ The Roots, tracks [...]
While you were entering a coma last night from your 10 plates of turkey and mom's awesome stuffing, you probably didn't hear that John Legend and singer Estelle (best know for "American Boy") went ahead and dropped a free EP entitled Sing And Flow: The Duets (via You Heard That New ). Now roll yourself off the couch and be grateful for something other than crescent rolls. The release is actually made up of a few new-ish tracks as well as some older ones. Opener "Shiny Suit Pt. 23 [...]
I'd like to wish our American readers a Happy Thanksgiving, though it's starting to look like Christmas around here. First Deerhunter's Bradford Cox (aka Atlas Sound) releases four album-length "volumes" of Free MP3s , and now esteemed R&B crooners Estelle & John Legend have teamed up to bring a seven-track EP to their fans for free. As the title, Sing and Flow suggests, Estelle gets back to her rhyming roots on these tracks as well. John Legend is fresh out of the studio, recording an immense Arcade Fire cover and an entire album with [...]
MP3: Dream Tapes "Hide Away"
Dream Tapes is playing The Black Apples residency tonight at the Echo, so here's a treat from them called "Hide Away." This here is a ruff cut, says singer Estelle Raskin, of a new jam that's a very catchy, sweet love song about wanting to keep your eyes closed. It's a familiar feeling and the song seems to write itself, in the way a song about feeling romantically lonely might leap out of you in the shower. MP3: Dream Tapes "Hide Away" We got to have a little [...]
