Swedish popsters jj give the gift of visuals for the holidays. The beginning is creepier than it needed to be but don't worry, you don't need the night light for the whole thing.

BATMAN KNOWS! What's going on everyone? Another week of Any Given Saturday. Yayyy ! Well I'm pretty sure everyone is on break from school and spending time just relaxing and what not. Lately I've been chillin' and listening to some new stuff that came out and I'll be talking about it below. Also I bought that new Batman game. Batman Arkham City , and it's pretty legit. Well enough video game talk it's bout' that time.... lets get into these songs.

Sol (pronounced Saul not sole) just submitted his first album Yours Truly for mastering today and subsequently P&P premiered the first single "Stage Dive". The song speaks a lot about giving what you love a chance while you're still able to. I'm sure it pronounces exactly how Sol must feel on the brink of his debut which happens on January 20, 2012. I'm happy for you Sol, you've come a long way. Here's to 2012, Yours Truly , and success which is soon to be yours. Jump over to P&P [...]

Lana is on point again with her next preview from Born To Die which goes worldwide January 31, 2012. This is the studio version but I wish it didn't have so much background noise. I love how she switches her voice up when she starts asking for someone to save her, indicating that she'll play the part. The song tells a vivid story of a dual personality wielding runaway criminal begging for her love to pull her back to reality only to probably break away again.

If you go into this one with next to zero expectations like I did then you might actually be surprised with the results. Mystikal signed to Cash Money Records a little over a week ago, right after the announcement Flex released this track. I was going to pass dropping this but I'm feeling risky today. The beat is magic though. Download Mystikal Original (featuring Lil Wayne & Birdman) Mystikal Original (featuring Lil Wayne & Birdman)

That's it. I'm buying a pair of Nike gloves now. YOLO

You guys have no idea how long I've been waiting to share this song. It leaked a while ago but with tags and never the un-edited version. I had no idea it was going to show up on Tinie's Happy Birthday EP which was released a few days ago. I've always been on the fence for one reason or another on Tinie until very recently. I think it was how big he was blowing up mainstream wise, I even thought he was a bit gimmicky with his heavy accent and beat selections. [...]

The Fader have been doing this series where they've been teaming up with some of their favorite producers to remix songs by their favorite rappers. For their second to last feature they got the ridiculously slick Clams Casino to do his thing on Big K.R.I.T.'s "Moon & Stars". Every new piece of work I hear from Clams Casino impresses me even more. This track is so clear and mellow. Download Big K.R.I.T. Moon & Stars (Clams Casino Remix) Big K.R.I.T.

Loving this new single from Mord Fustang . So much that I think I might listen to this for the next half hour instead of going and shaking a tower . Spoonerisms - YOLO.

Rebecca Hall delivers a great performance in the video for James Blake's cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You". I like this because it speaks to appreciating all the different facets of a person. You can stream his Enough Thunder EP via Spotify or get it on iTunes .

KillaGraham released this original track (not a remix) to celebrate hitting 2,000 fans on Facebook. "Drop It" gets pretty nasty, it would make for a good alarm clock song. Download KillaGraham Drop It KillaGraham Drop It

Razor mentioned a that a new Wiz Khalifa mixtape was on the way. "California", a chill laid back track that fits the mold that we're so used to Wiz spitting on, is the first listen that we get from Taylor Allderdice . I know a lot of fans expressed that they felt Wiz was going mainstream and selling out on them. I'm expecting Taylor Allderdice to correct that conception. If you haven't given Mac and Devin Go To High School a chance it's probably because your expectations are pretty [...]

Waddup, Waddup, Wadddupp TQF GANG?! It's FINALLY 'bout that time... Any Given Saturday #8. Sorry about last week it was a busy week with finals and what not. That's all done though, but shout out to everyone who was on their study grind the past couple of weeks, and also to anyone who graduated. Special shoutout to the bossman Mueez who graduated. The man does so much for TQF and the community so kudos to the boss. Now that I'm out of school for a couple of weeks I can get some TQF stuff done... even though I [...]

Finally, a new Sleigh Bells track has surfaced from the band's upcoming album, Reign of Terror . It's exactly what you would expect from the Sleigh Bells: loud, bombastic, menacing guitar work from Derek Miller and ethereal vocals from Alexis Krauss . Born to Lose is a catchy song for sure and it's meant to be played loud. I can't wait to hear more from the band. This song shows that the band's first album wasn't a fluke. Listen to the song above, hopefully soon it'll be available as an mp3 to [...]

As Rockie Fresh gears up (get it?) for the release of Driving 88 fans get another taste of what they can expect. It's nice to hear Rockie on a beat that's not usually accustomed with his name. The young man almost always delivers, I've got high expectations for Driving 88. The drop date is January 23, 2012. Download Rockie Fresh Prom King Rockie Fresh Prom King
