Blog: New Jawn

This shit is a game changer. Kanye gets real industrial throughout Yeezus , featuring production from the likes of Daft Punk , TNGHT , and Hudson Mohawke . Even the RZA beat sounds more house than the usual soulful beat. Kanye manages to be pissed off as fuck, but still make us laugh on just about every track. Buy this on Tuesday.

At halftime of the NBA Finals tonight Jay - Z announced his new album to drop July 4th; Magna Carta Holy Grail.   My man has assembled the talents of Timbaland, Skateboard, Swizzy, and Ricky Rubin .  Just from this 3 minute brainstorm session video you can tell these guys are packing some heat for the summer.  He should perform his new music at Made in America this coming Sept.  Kanye and Jay-Z dropping back to back!

Sigur Rós promised a heavier sound for Kveikur and here it is. Expectation is high after hearing those lead singles. Tickets went on sale today for the Mann show this summer. Someone slept on that. #justsayin DOWNLOAD THE KVEIKUR ALBUM

Bronson and Wiz tag team this jawn literally with inspiration from the OG Rockers, Marty Jannetty and Shawn Micheals .  Bronsolinni drops SAAAB Stories, a 7 song EP, on June 11th.  Preview here on itunes. ACTION BRONSON - SAAAB STORIES EP - PREVIEW

This dude Chance from Houston is the new hip hop phenom and has plenty of help on his mixtape Acid Rap.  Features such as; Action Bronson, Ab Soul, Childish Gambino and Twista.  Entire jawn is nasty. DOWNLOAD ACID RAP NOW

Who cares if you like Young Dro, this is a must watch vid with the booty clapping skills of these two babes.  The standard keeps getting higher and higher.

Rozay and his niggas are suiting up for Self Made III which will be out Aug 6th.  This will be a highlight track with Kiss , who looks like he trimmed down for summer.  Run those steps if you really want results.

Not a huge Lupe fan over here but I'm genuinely impressed by this jawn.  Great job by everybody on this track and this will get play in my new/temporary VW Gulf #fukouttahere

New track from The Dream will be on his upcoming Summer Project.  Video is NSFW but will give you some ideas on how to have a gas in the bathroom #turnup.

QOTSA stopped by Later with Jools Holland last week to perform two new tracks off ...Like Clockwork . I can't get enough of the album leaks. Keep them coming. Album out soon on Matador. "My God Is The Sun" on Jools Holland "I Sat By The Ocean" on Jools Holland

The Weeknd released the title track from his upcoming album Kiss Land . This track has a ton of build up from the opening seconds but the chorus sould have delivered more. I still mess with it, but expected a little more from the first leak off his next jawn. The Weeknd is going to have a tough time getting this played on the radio. THEE WEEKND - KISS LAND

Derriere Force One has made it's way across the pond and Turbonegro take over NYC tonight at Irving Plaza . The Jugend will be all denimed out and ready to rock to that Deathpunk noise they've been waiting for. Tony Sylvester will do his best to convert the Hank lovers. I hope the set isn't filled with too much Sexual Harassment material. I want to hear the classics.

I'm not completely into this cat, but the streets seem to respect French Montana . His debut album Excuse My French drops next Tuesday but leaked a little early. Guest spots are thorough with Scarface, Raekwon, Ne-Yo, The Weeknd, Rozay, Drake, Weezy, Nicki, Diddy, and Snoop. I probably won't, but you can snatch it up down below. I will, however, grab the track with The Weeknd. He does no wrong. DOWNLOAD THE EXCUSE MY FRENCH ALBUM

Daft Punk is streaming their Random Access Memories now and the Internet is going nuts for it. The only exciting feature besides Pharrell is Strokes' frontman Julian Casablancas on the track "Instant Crush". You can check out the full album below and pick up RAM next Tuesday. DAFT PUNK FEAT. JULIAN CASABLANCAS - INSTANT CRUSH UPDATE: Random Access Memories  has leaked [...]

There are two more songs from ...Like Clockwork that found their way on to YouTube over the past couple days. QOTSA seem content with releasing these preview animated videos to help build the buzz around their new album. Yesterday's track "Kalopsia" features Trent Reznor on supporting vocals. "Keep Your Eyes Pealed" is a typical Queens track that feels a little more like album filler. "Eat Fuck" on the jacket made my day though. GG reigns. "Kalopsia" "Keep Your Eyes Pealed"

"Swerve City" is yet another great album opener from Deftones . I'd say it's one of my favorite tracks off Koi , which I really need to give more listens. The official video was released last week. Chino keeps busy between filming videos for these tracks and pumping out the Crosses and Palms new music. Respect the Mexican work ethic. Real recognize real. DEFTONES - SWERVE CITY

Pusha T gets a new Kanye beat for his next single "Numbers On The Boards". This beat sounds like a throwback Wu instrumental. This is some hard shit that will land on Pusha's My Name Is My Name . PUSHA T - NUMBERS ON THE BOARDS

If you're like me, next Saturday isn't soon enough to hear a taste of some new Kanye West material from his upcoming sixth studio release. G.O.O.D. Music  signee Hudson Mohawke , half of TNGHT , premiered a couple tracks from Kanye's next album during his set at Freeform Festival in Poland. Damn if they don't sound like some bangers. I have to assume Kanye's move to an EDM sound played a huge part in scooping up Mohawke as one of his signed producers. Shit sounds bananas. Sound quality not great, but you can feel [...]

The National will release Trouble Will Find Me next Tuesday and everything that they've managed to allow fans to hear is proving to be another great collection from the band. "Sea Of Love" was debuted on Fallon a little ways back and now we have the official video with a rocking little baby boy doing his best air guitar. I'm loving this track. THE NATIONAL - SEA OF LOVE
