Jordin Sparks – Skipping a Beat
American Idol alum (and the future Mrs. Derulo) Jordin Sparks is back in the game with a new single, and it sounds like a hit. Check it out below.
Rich Kidd – We On Some Rich Kidd Shit Vol. 7: The People’s Champ (Mixtape)
Rich Kidd drops his seventh compilation, immediately letting me know that I have a lot of previous project to download and check out. Plenty of features on this one; you can check out the tracklist (along with the stream and download link) below.
Juicy J – August 27th Flow
A get-you-hype track courtesy of Juicy J. Stay Trippy drops August 27th (hence the name).
SNIPPET: Marie Dahlstrom & Kenneth Barber – One Day
Some new Marie Dahlstrom in the form of a snippet, featuring the vocals of Kenneth Barber.
Raheem DeVaughn – A Road to ‘A Place Called Love Land’ (Mixtape)
A Place Called Love Land drops September 3rd, and Radio Rah thought to give his fans a dose of music to hold them over until then. In this mix we get the singles that we’ve already heard plus some teaser tracks from the upcoming album…..all-in-all a worthwhile listen if you’re a fan. Stream, tracklisting and download link below.
SNIPPET: Naya Rivera Feat. Big Sean – Sorry
I lightbulb literally came on in the room I was sitting in when I first saw this. Big Sean and Naya Rivera’s relationship (from her standpoint) now makes so much sense…..all we need now is for Big Sean to show up on somebody’s TV show (Glee, perhaps) to make the cypher complete.
Anyways, we should be hearing the full song soon.
Ricky Hil – Anime
A new loose track from Ricky Hil…..suddenly I want to do some hard drugs for some reason.
The Kid Daytona – DJ Enuff Freestyle (One Night Is All I Need)
During one of his last days in Paris Daytona hit the studio to drop a exclusive impromptu freestyle for the homie Enuff and the rest of the Thats Enuff fam.
HAIM (@HAIMtheband) – The Wire
A demo of this song was apparently out for a year now, but thanks to Zane Lowe (who christened this one of his ‘Hottest Records’ on BBC), we now get to hear the final version of the song.
Doobie Brothaz (Jackie Chain & ST 2 Lettaz) – John Legend
3 years after the Doobie Brothaz collaboration began, ST and Jackie Chain appear to finally be dropping an album. “John Legend”, produced by the Block Beattaz is the first single.

Ballet School (@b4lletschool) – Heartbeat Overdrive
Synth heavy tunes from Germany.
Ballet School are a band at the forefront of pop’s new alternative. Classic melodies, beautiful beats, real lyrics. Featuring songwriting duo Rosie Blair on vocals/guitar, Michel Collet on lead guitar and Louis McGuire on drums.
Rosie, (from Ireland), and Michel (Japanese-Brazilian) met two years ago in Berlin’s thriving ex-pat DIY scene. Rosie heard Michel playing his guitar in the U-bahn and immediately asked him to form a band. In 2012 they began collaborating with Louis, another fixture on the Berlin DIY scene.
The three bonded through wild experimentation, endless youtube partying and constant gigging, as they worked to transform a deep love of The Cocteau Twins, The Cure and early Madonna into a fresh pop sound. The heart of the Ballet School sound is the perfect match of Rosie’s voice, Michel’s glacial guitar and Louis innovative drumming. The result is graceful, 21st Century Pop.
Doe B Feat. Project Pat – Return Of Da Mac (Remix)
Original spotted on Baby Jesus, Doe B gets Project Pat on the remix to his Mark Morrison-inspired tune.
Timmy P (@DJTimmyP) – Tinnies For Breakfast
Taken from Dirt Crew Recordings Deep Love 3 compilation, released 12th August.

Stones Throw drops a whole bunch of unreleased Dam-Funk songs and demos, enough said.

Ibn Inglor (@IbnInglor) – WAXXX
A new Ibn Inglor single, produced by E.N.O.N. Jacobs and PGMW. His New Wave project is coming soon.
Meek Mill – Work Freestyle
Even though Meek had a decent street banger of his own named “Work”, he still drops bars over A$AP Ferg’s hit from last year for DJ Clue, talking about Lil Snupe, Philly rappers dissing him and more.
J Dilla – Diamonds (The Shining Pt. 1)
“New” J Dilla! This time, its not just another beat from a tape that’s been out forever. The song “Diamonds” was produced by Nottz, was originally titled “The Shining Pt. 1″ and was leaked unmixed a while ago. This version of the song will be released on a pending EP, Diamond & Ice, which will also feature Dilla rapping over a Madlib beat for the song “Ice (The Shining Pt. 2),”, an alternate version of “Ice,” and a Madlib bonus beat, “The D.” Diamonds & Ice will be released August 27 and another Dilla project, The Diary will come out later this year.
