Brave Heart is on the way. You can purchase and download her new single now, though.
UPDATE: Raekwon Feat. Melanie Fiona & Assassin – Sound Boy Kill It
UPDATE: The final version (with the above artwork) is below.
****************************************
Now this what I want to hear. Raekwon is officially on the move following his performance at Summer Jam, following up with a new track featuring Melanie Fiona. F.I.L.A. is on the way.
Mack Wilds Feat. Ludacris – Own It (Remix)
Jhené Aiko Feat. Jaden Smith – The Worst (Remix)
Jaden Smith throws his hat into Jhené’s single ‘The Worst’. I love how these Smith kids randomly drop music whenever they feel like it.
Trae Tha Truth – I Am King (Mixtape)
Totally missed this release…..the latest from Tha Truth features everybody: Diddy, Big K.R.I.T., Jeezy, T.I., Yo Gotti, Lupe Fiasco and a lot more. Stream, tracklisting and download link below.
Sam Smith – Not In That Way (Demo)
Very smooth and very emotional. It’s amazing that this is only a demo….check out Sam Smith’s latest below.
Childish Gambino – Sweatpants
This track was reportedly available when you preordered Because The Internet and also features Problem using adlibs. Unfortunately, Childish Gambino himself wasn’t happy about its release leak.
Vado – Hate Me Now Freestyle
Vado tried his hand (with an assist from Khaled) over Nas & Diddy’s ‘Hate Me Now’. Can’t beat the original.
Yung E (@binessman_e) Feat. @LuluFall – Fly
The latest single from Yung E’s upcoming Odds Against Me, which drops December 13th.
@_TheManor Feat. Paul Kaye – Ibiza Uncovered
Every week, we’ll be receiving new music from The Manor, leading up to their forthcoming project Full English which drops this Christmas.
ALBUM SAMPLER: B.o.B – Underground Luxury
Thanks to DJ Drama, we get to check out an exclusive pre-stream album teaser for B.o.B’s upcoming album Underground Luxury (out December 17th; preorder here). The 15 track album boasts features from Future, Chris Brown, Ester Dean, 2 Chainz & more.
Rai L. – Me & My Paper (Prod. By B Wright)
Buzzing as of late in the DMV, Rai L might be familiar to you after a string of production placements which include A Mafia, Papoose, Dipset, YMCMB, Ca$his, Noreaga (P.A.P.I.) & more. Always an artist as well, Rai has garnered some attention online and in the streets with a recent string of quality releases. Check him out on Soundcloud here.
Starlito Ft. Young Dolph – OG Skywalker (Prod. by The Colleagues)
Production team the Colleagues drop a song (track 8) they produced on Starlito’s album Fried Turkey, which you can get on iTunes right now (or in stores next week). “OG Skywalker” is slow and echoey, like a good weed song should be. Side note; if memory serves me, it was either Lito or Gotti who put Young Dolph on first.
@LilBibby_ ft. Lil Durk & Lil Herb – Lettin Up
Lil Bibby and Lil Herb, both from the Eastside of Chicago, collab with Lil Durk for this track from the We Mean Biz tape that DJ Victoriouz, DJ Bandz, DJ Twin and DJ Keem put out yesterday. This new trend of 3+ DJs hosting a tape is a nightmare. This track will probably end up on Lil Bibby’s upcoming tape Free Crack (Meatchi did it first).

Electric Mantis – Flips And Flops, Drips And Drops
Portland-based artist Electric Mantis has been an overnight sensation after Djemba Djemba reposted some of his music on Soundcloud and he then took to Reddit to announce his amazement, eventually making the front page and getting around 200,000 plays. What makes “Flips And Flops” so great is its wonky up-beat melodies combined with some 808-style drums, reverb and a Dubstep-style make up (Mantis comes from a Dubstep/DnB background). Expect to hear more from the 20-year old producer soon.

Grizzly Bear – Will Calls (Diplo Remix)
I can’t say that I’m a huge Grizzly Bear fan or a huge Diplo fan but this remix is appealing. The song seamlessly melds a demo from a “failed” Texas studio session by the band with Diplo’s bass-heavy club sound nicely. Also this is the first time I’ve heard an “EDM” drop that hasn’t dissapointed me in months.
PeeWee LongWay – Crack
Longway comes through with some musical “Crack” produced by the misspelled “Impirial Music”. This was from DJ Lil Keem’s Respect the Grind Radio 5 Mixtape, featuring music from the Migos, MPA, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan and more.
