Nickelus F – Da Reaper
Something fresh and new from VA’s Nick F…produced by Shawn Kemp (the basketball player?).
Shyheim Feat. Ghostface Killah – Smoking Blood Drinking Fire
Despite his legal troubles, Shyheim is still pushing his music, and he’s got a new one with the Ghost. Taken from his upcoming Bottom Of New York 3 project.
Elliphant (@ElliphantMusic) – Music Is Life
Check out this Pop-ish new joint from Stockholm artist Elliphant:
Sounding like the twisted illegitimate offspring of MIA and Diplo – as deliciously fierce as the former but as intelligently playful as the latter – Elliphant pulls the balls of this dancehall slayer through its own throat and ties them in a cherry knot the other side.
Ellinor Olovsdotter slowly morphed into Elliphant through the course of a long (and lost) summer travelling in the UK with only a dubstep soundsystem for company. After falling in love with the urban music sounds of London she returned home to Stockholm, on Sweden’s East Coast, boasting sizzling MC skills and some serious lyrical prowess.
Now, having already won over the likes of Dazed & Confused [“all abstract lyrcisms and cheap dirty beats”], NME “[amazing'”], Pitchfork “[Elliphant sound like nothing but the future”] and the Guardian [“strangely captivating”] from afar’, Elliphant is preparing a return to these shores.

Saw this in my email, kept it moving. Saw it again — this time, saw that Mike Will Made It produced it — decided to take a listen (sorry, it’s the bias in me). It’s actually pretty good, and is actually a good sign of what will come with her upcoming album.
