​Wait a second... that's not Donald glover !

​ The much anticipated 2 Chainz and Kanye ​collab finally hit the web yesterday and iTunes early this morning. I'm still not buying into his hype and praise from other artists, but it's a Kanye feature so here you go.

​ I haven't done the best job of keeping up with After The Smoke . I was going through their uploads and here's one that they posted a while ago. The mellow track is called "Feel Better".​ Download After The Smoke Feel Better (featuring The Academy)

​ ​I'm not the biggest fan of Ellie Goulding but its's hard to ignore her when she keeps covering amazing songs. This time her and Tinie Tempah take on Active Child's monster song "Hanging On". Download Ellie Goulding Hanging On (featuring Tinie Tempah)

​ "Enemies" at the surface sounds like just another innocent song ​by another red headed Canadian. But its instruments make for a decent plot twist, and her hook makes for a heavy replay contention. She's got an album scheduled for October 2 so if you like what you hear be on the look out. You can stream below, but to get a download head over to her site .

​ There was a lot of hype for this track, I mean, Jay and Dre on a track? Didn't ring anything special with me, but check it out for yourself below. Ross ' God Forgives I Don't will drop at the end of this month.

​ Whether your for equal marriage or not, I'm sure this song will move you. All proceeds of the single will go towards the Music For Marriage Equality Campaign. His next LP called The Heist ​comes out on October 9. Hit the jump to stream "Same Love" and read Macklemore's thoughts about the song. This song, which I wrote in April, is a response to what I have observed and experienced, and is also an act of personal accountability. It was not easy to write, and I struggled with how [...]

​ Brando sent me this collaboration with G-Eazy over ​not too long ago, knew I had to post it after hearing it. Doing what we all do really isn't as simple as it may seem to be and that's exactly what the two address. If you're interested in more from Brando you can check out his fairly extensive library on bandcamp .​ His crew recently released their album The Labor Union on iTunes . Download Brando Big Easy (featuring [...]

​ I've been seeing 40's name pop up on more and more production credits. It's interesting that him and JoJo linked up for a record, I wonder if her "Marvin's Room" remix had anything to do with that. I'm still adjusting to her transition from an innocent girl to sexually open and mature young woman, but she sounds like she knows what she's talking about... ahem.

​ ​Germany Germany is a canadian producer who recently released his album Blank Mind Empty Heart . If you're looking for something chill then this just might be for you. His album is $5 on bandcamp but he's got about 6 tracks up on his SoundCloud which you can download for free. � Blank Mind Empty Heart is a collection of songs I’ve been working on for the past year. Rather than get comfortable with the sounds I made on Adventures, I wanted to branch out, [...]

​It looks like The xx are finally ready to let us in on their first album since their debut in 2009. A lot people were speculating that they may be headed towards a more Hip-Hop direction after their work with Drake and Rihanna on "Take Care", but it sounds like that's not the case. Their album Coexist comes out on September 11. You can pre-order it on iTunes .

I've never been a fan of these pre-album release streams, listening to the album after I own it on release day is much more of an experience for me. But for those who just can't wait, NPR has a full album stream of Passion Pit's Gossamer , which isn't due until July 24, up now.​ Enjoy.

​ If you didn't know, Rockie Fresh signed a deal with MMG just a few days ago. ​A big round of applause for him, but I must say the move came as quite a shocker to me. I kept thinking how surreal it was for me to see him shaking hands with Rick Ross, this was someone who I stumbled upon a year ago by chance and now he could be making tracks with some of the biggest names in rap. From nothing to something. Shortly after the signing, a remix of "You [...]

​ Pour out a cup of your favorite drink, in my case Gatorade X-Factor, and jam out to Kendrick's latest preview from good kid, m.A.A.d city . Production via T-Minus . His album is slated to release on October 2.

MMG and Meek drop the visuals for one of the best songs of 2012 so far. The video is a little sub par, but if you're down for a taste of some on the road rap-star action with a few cameos then you just might be in luck.​ This song is more than likely going to make an appearance on Meek Mill's album Dreams & Nightmares which comes out August 28.

​ This drop is very studio, I wonder where it belongs. I'm actually surprised at how it turned out. Busta and Wiz are pretty opposite when it comes to flow; rapid:chill. Not the best, but It's been a while since I've had any Wiz added to my library.
