Big Sean’s producer Key Wane switches Future’s single up…..not mad at all, either.

Yoe Luck – The Drop (Video)
Yoe Luck drops a new video for one of my favorite tracks he’s put out, “The Drop“. Produced by Jay Cornell, shot by Flam Films. Enjoy.
Low Pros (A-Trak & Lex Luger) Feat. Juvenile – Muscle
The Low Pros return with a new track featuring Juvenile, with — in addition to A-Track and Lex Luger, obviously — addition production from Metro Boomin & High Klassified. Still a rap song, but A-Trak’s Dance influence is evident.
Kwabs – Pray For Love (Prod. Plan B)
Kwabs’ latest single, the Plan B (where has he been, lately?) produced ‘Pray For Love’, is out 6th May (preorder here).
D’Angelo – ‘Jonz In My Bonz’, ‘Sweet Sticky Thing’ & More (Live Performances)
UPDATE: Billboard let go of an additional track, a live rendition of ‘I’m Glad You’re Mine’, which we’ve added below. You’re welcome.
****************************************
We previously announced that D’Angelo will be releasing the full version to his 1995 performance in London….below are two tracks taken from the project. I’d really like to get a proper follow-up to Voodoo at this point (which is an understatement).
Miguel Feat. Wale – Bennie & The Jets
This is pretty interesting: Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is being reissued next week; the below track with previous collaborators Miguel and Wale, a reimagining of one of the albums better-known hits, is taken from that project.
Que Feat. Lizzle & Trey Songz – Too Much (Remix)
In a huge surprise move, Que and Trey Songz have jumped on DC rapper (and Thraxxx member) Lizzle’s song “Too Much“, previously featuring Shy Glizzy on the remix. It also appears that the track will be the latest single appearing on the Atlanta rapper’s Who Is Que EP, which is set to be released March 25th (it appears on the EP’s tracklist on iTunes). Complex, wh0 premiered the record, failed to mention the history of the track, or how it came to be on Que’s Atlantic Records release. Strange indeed, but certainly big for DC and Thraxxx, who went from unheard of to this in 6 months.
Gucci Mane & Young Thug – Bricks Like A Project (Clean)
Xclusives Zone had the premiere for the below track from Gucci and Thug, which serves as the second single from the upcoming project Young Thugga Mane La Flare. Just the clean version for now.
Future – Good Morning
A loose track that was apparently left on Honest‘s cutting-room floor. We first heard this tune during Future’s performance at SXSW.
Keyshia Cole – Next Time (Won’t Give My Heart Away)
This one sounds like it’s definitely inspired by her failed relationship with Boobie Gibson. That new album is on the way.
YG Feat. Natasha Mosley – 459
If you purchase Best Buy’s version of YG’s new album My Krazy Life, the below track is what you get.
Lil Keke Feat. 8Ball & Kevin Gates – By Myself
Underground Legend Lil Keke releases “By Myself” from his forthcoming project, “Money Don’t Sleep.” “By Myself” features Eightball and Kevin Gates exchanging feel good bars with The Don over the a melodic beat about taking some much needed me time.
The track is the second single released from “Money Don’t Sleep,” scheduled for May 2014 release. The first single, Worry About You,” featured Kirko Bangz. Both songs are on Lil Keke’s recently released EP Sampler “Album Before the Album 3(A.B.A),” hosted by DJ Michael 5000 Watts. The project marks their first collaboration since Lil Keke’s departure from Swishahouse Records in 2008.
“Money Don’t Sleep,” will be the underground legend’s 5th studio album and features appearances by Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Killa Kyleon, Eightball, Kevin Gates, Kirko Bangz, Devin the Dude and Paul Wall.
The Midi Mafia Feat. Elijah Blake, Rick Ross & The Game – Sing For Me
UPDATE: The song is actually owned the the producers — The Midi Mafia — and it will end up on what I would imagine to be a full length compilation project.
****************************************
Elijah Blake drops off his brand new single with Rick Ross and The Game, produced by Midi Mafia and Fayo & Chill. You can download the song here.
Jesse Medina Feat. Ab-Soul, Sir Michael Rocks & Anya Kvitka – Riddims 2.0
This song is admittedly here because of Ab-Soul appearance. Not bad all around, though.
Waka Flocka – Re-Up (Mixtape)
With only a days notice, Waka drops a new tape full off classically aggressive simplistic raps and some new flows with top Trap tastemakers like Young Scooter, Young Thug, Metro Boomin and 808 Mafia. Enjoy…
Little Simz – The Hamptons
Fresh off a standout series of shows at this year’s SXSW festival, which saw her take to the stage for the likes of Soundcloud, Complex, Okayplayer and more, with Sango, Waldo and the Soulection and AGO family, Little Simz hits the ground running and blesses us with some freshness to share with you guys.
The 20 year old North London hailing rapper and musician, who has been thrust into the spotlight following the release of her 4th mixtape Blank Canvas (which was premiered on Jay Z’s Life+Times in September 2013, earning her global accolade and tipped to watch by the likes of Noisey, The Independent and many more) today brings us her thought provoking take on Da-P’s “The Hamptons”, which was originally released in its instrumental form a few months ago as part of a white label release from Soulection.
Press play on this piece of audio goodness brought to you by Soulection and SoulCulture and stay locked for news on Little Simz debut EP which is set to be released this spring.

Lykke Li’s latest release actually serves as the theme song for the Swedish movie Tommy. Both are definitely worth checking out.

Nas – It Ain’t Hard to Tell (Remix)
I have to admit: I haven’t been liking these twists on classics so far, but Nas let go over another rework (this time of ‘It Ain’t Hard To Tell’) from the forthcoming Illmatic XX (out April 15th).
