This Belgian-born, Australian based, singer/ songwriter/ sampling artist Gotye is a rising star. Gotye (pronounced: ‘Gaultier’, like Jean-Paul Gaultier) is Wouter De Backe and his most recent album, Making Mirrors , has a lot of different vibes inside of it. I posted the Gotye hit Somebody I Use To Know featuring Kimbra a couple months back and it still has been in my rotation. Check out the post here and the awesome video for this super jam below.

Rostam Batmanglij is a multi-instrumentalist and the producer for Vampire Weekend. He is recently working on his solo endeavor called ROSTAM. There are some definite VW influences inside of his new music but Batmanglij takes the project to a more dream wave electronic sound.

Another jam off of Take Care and for the first time in a while Wayne killed this feature. Maybe he is finally back to smoking some weed and dranking some purp.

Drake- The Motto (Featuring Lil' Wayne)
