Can BLDP do any wrong? ​If you visit their site you can play a game which at the end will result in a pretty sweet secret prize. What's the prize? Well you'll have to play it to find out. Ok fine I'll tell you, but only because I'm scared you'll miss out. Download links to 8-bit remixes of up to 4 of their songs. If you're feeling sly... you can manipulate the link to get all 4 tracks after playing through once. I'm really loving the free EP. I threw in "Gold [...]

A shame this didn't make it to cut for channel ORANGE . Apparently, he's made some big progress in his second LP (10-11 tracks so far), which will be a concept album. Download (via Ear Milk)​

If you need a song to dedicate to someone in your life who can't speak the truth - I got you covered. Fly swatter not included. Radio rip below (pretty great quality).​

​Sorry for the absence. I spent one week drenched with course work and exams, another week on a mini and much needed vacation around Florida. Good news, looks like Kid Cudi is still adamant about a April 23 release date for Indicud . For his next album sampler he flipped "Congratulations" by MGMT . I'm sure it'll be received with mixed feelings, it's slowly growing on me. Ok, so heres what I did.I took one of my favorite bands MGMT's song "Congratulations", put it in [...]

Few things are better than female pop vocals over electronic. The last one I shared was bitter and slightly depressing, "We are Electric" is on a much lighter note, but the bang is still salvaged. Oh, it's a free download too. Download (SoundCloud)

Indie pop done right. Happy Valentine's Day. Download (Stereogum)

You know that moment when you want to buy a song but can't because it's not released in your region yet? Yeah. Shout out to the scene where she vacuums her hair. I used to do that to my sisters all day, everyday - they had really dirty hair.

What's in my head right now? Regrets of the brutal junk-food-binge that I just put my body through. I guess a little chocolate, potato chip, and soda never killed anyone right? Thankfully, Pure X has something much more interesting in theirs'. Download (SoundCloud)

Comedown Machine , The Strokes fifth album, is set to release on March 26. "All the Time" is the album's lead single. Sounds like they haven't missed a single beat since Angels .

As I wipe off the snot I covered my laptop in thanks to my seasonal allergies, I uncovered J. Cole's latest release: Truly Yours . It's a collection of songs that, for one reason or another, did not make the cut for his second album. He says he's recorded about 4 albums worth of material, this is him sharing some of that with us. If the download link goes down you can jump to J. Cole's blog post which may have a backup posted.

And the Hip-Hop album of the year award goes to... this song has grown me immensely since it's initial release.

Penned as a remix, but I'm going to categorize this as more of a cover. This is why I love this artist. Original is by Ed Sheeran . Download ( SoundCloud )

Ghost Loft takes The Neighbourhood's latest single to a new neighborhood. Damn that's some good word play. Download (SoundCloud)

Download (This will probably be taken down soon despite being uploaded by Drake himself) My good friends, It has truly been too long. I assume you're all keeping well and making the most of this year that has been given to us. Today is the day to begin sharing my newest work with you. This is the first single off of my upcoming album. I feel sometimes that people don't have enough information about my beginnings and therefore they make up a life story for me that isn't consistent with actual [...]

Such a beautiful song form the chords, atmosphere, to the lyrics. Not released yet but it's up for pre-order on iTunes . Permalink

As with any Left Boy release, I am very excited. I can't wait to hear what his album has in store. This is the biggest project I've ever worked on. blood, sweat, tears. It is also the first release off of my album coming out later this year. There are so many wonderful people that helped me with this, Thank You!

To celebrate his singing with RCA, Kid Ink released a more all-star version of "Bad Ass". Buy (iTunes)

I've tried my best to nitpick and find some reason that taints the excellence that A-1 has done to Flosstradamus' "Lana's Theme". I fail every time. I haven't listened to A-1's other work, so I can't comment on his abilities as a rapper but this is almost a massacre. Check out his mixtape The Thurl Tape , I'm going to listen through it over the next week while studying biochemistry. Shout out to my friend Chris for being the reason why I came across this song.
