The Brooklyn-based Theophilus London has long been one of my favorite young hip-hop artists around because of his tendency to think outside the constraints of genre boundaries in his music. His sound, alternates seamlessly between his funk-infused, Pharrell-esque singing voice and smooth rapping vocals. London's music truly reflects progression in music as stringent classification becomes a thing of the past. His versatility and willingness to collaborate and experiment across different genres (Soul, Funk, R&B, electronic and alternative) is embodied by this mixtape. Check out some of my favorite tracks below and download the whole tape free here . A [...]
Theophilus London isn't messing around on his great new mixtape Rose Island Vol. 1 , his latest large collection of free music (17 tracks!). Rose Island is not only impressive because of its consistency and quality, but because of the Major Label Album-level collaborations London is throwing in, for free . This 'tape features high profile collaborations with the likes of A$AP Rocky , Big Boi , SADE and Mark Ronson [...]
Elbows You’d Never Like To Meet Ron Artest chose to celebrate Jack Nicholson’s birthday in style. In other news the Lakers actually won this game and sales of Metta World Peace jersey’s have spiked again. If I ever caught an Artest elbow I have a feeling that I would be enjoying all of my meals in milkshake form for quite some time. That’s what happens when you pop Hennessy at halftime.

In my last post I mentioned the fact that I love everything about jazz music. So, when I heard the new Theophilus London song (featuring A$AP Rocky) it went instantly into my iTunes. With a beat that features a driving, heavy bass and baritone saxophone line coupled with the rest of the instruments playing on the off beats you've got something great. Throw in a killer sample for the chorus, though, and you have a song that is GOLD with a dirty south rap feel. Enjoy! Enjoy! Steve

I didn't want to post A$AP twice in an hour but this is too much of a banger. Easily my favorite Theophilus London track so far. This track took quite a while to drop because the sample that it used set them back as far as clearance goes. I'm happy that it was able to get worked out because... well just click play and you'll understand. This is from Theo's Lover's Holiday II: Rose Island which drops May 15.

I've been looking forward to this collabo when it was announced a few weeks back. Nothing ground breaking here, but I'm pretty sure next time Theophilus London performs he is bringing out A$AP Rocky to get the crowd moving with this one. Theophilus London - Big Spender feat A$AP Rocky

Has there been any hip hop jam anticipated more eagerly by the masses this year than the Theophilus London / A$AP Rocky collabo "Big Spender"? Teased in recent weeks by snippet-cut previews and live performance clips, the studio rendition of "Big Spender" dropped this past weekend (to the excitement of many) and its safe to say that it bangs, goes, or whatever the kids say about anything that's hot on arrival these days to the power of aplenty. Major props go to DJ Carnage who manages to gift Shirley Bassey's overly-familiar [...]
A$AP Rocky and Theophilus London had a hard time clearing the sample that figures as centerpiece in their collaborative single “Big Spender,” but we’re glad it worked out, because the final product is really awesome – A$AP and Theo each lay down smart, rapid verses over a killer, pounding beat with an awesome, title-appropriate Motown sample and fantastic, sharp horns (thanks to the skills of DJ Carnage ).

Theophilus London – Big Spender ft. A$AP Rocky I tried to warn y’all … After months of leaking snippets, Theophilus finally drops what could be one of the summer’s biggest hits – Big Spender. The collabo featuring Harlem’s own pretty mothafucka, a$AP Rocky, will land on Theo’s new project Lover’s Holiday II: Rose Island, dropping on May 15th. [...]

We finally get to hear this beauty of a song in full. We have been anticipating the Theophilus London and A$AP Rocky collab, “Big Spender” for a while, and now you can listen to it 20 times in a row like I did. The Peggy Sue sampling, bass heavy song, is all about the finer, lavish things in life, most of which you will never have. Check out the fancy artwork above. If anyone was at A$AP’s Coachella set or was watching the broadcast like I was, did you lose it when people started throwing [...]

Holy shit. A$AP Rocky and Theophilus London samples Shirley Bassey's 'Big Spender' on their new collab of the same name.
ASAP Rocky teamed up with Theophilus London to create "Big Spender" which is one of the dopest songs I've heard in a while. The two MCs out of New York collaborate and create one of the best tracks in a minute. Production from DJ Carnage is what really makes the track though, it's starts off with the swinging tunes of Big Spender and then as soon as either Theophilus or ASAP Rocky begins flowing it drops hard. The production during the flows of the two MCs brings a similar feel to that of "A Mili" with the steady hard grinding [...]

Theophilus London has been performing this track live, and has finally liberated the studio quality version of his collaboration with A$AP Rocky. This sample over the drum-heavy, Houston-influenced production, and that artwork are just so damn fly.. MP3: Theophilus London: Big Spender (feat. ASAP Rocky)
