Not really sure what defines the difference between an album and a mistape... but Chiddy Bang have just released one of the latter. It coincides with summer rolling around the northern hemisphere, and it has a very bright and breezy feel to it. Chiddy serve up some more electric-inspired accessible hip hop heavily laden with samples and remixes that many people should warm to. You can check out some tracks below... Enjoy
Chiddy Bang - The Whistle Song
Chiddy Bang - Dancing With The DJ (Remix a the popular disco track from The Knocks)
This month SebastiAn, the French electro-producer behind many of the releases by popular label Ed Banger, will release his debut full-length album after a number of EPs and appearances on compilations have already reached our ears. He's had a fair amount of time to put this thing together and it's an impressive collection of that hard-hitting dancefloor electro that we have become accustomed to over the years listening to Justice, Kavinsky, Toxic Avenger and the rest of the gang. It's funky, electronic and very, very French (just not sure what to make of the front cover of the album, a picture of SebastiAn kissing another SebastiAn. Every egomaniacs fantasy I guess) You can check out the first single below... Enjoy
To be rapping like this when you are only 20 years old something must happened to this kid during his childhood that really messed his head up. I was recently chastised by my little sis for missing a recent Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All gig, and to be honest I had no idea who they were. If I had known that this guy was involved I definitely would have made a bigger effort to see them, if not for the music perhaps for the shock value. If you're attempting to listen to Goblin, the new album from 'Tyler, the Creator' you best be ready for some regular cuss words, homophobic slurs, sexist song titles and general angry rap that makes you wonder what sort of shit goes on in this guys head when he sits down to write a song. Tyler doesn't make any apologies for writing the sort of lyrics that would make John Mayer cry, so I guess you should probably respect him for that. And you don't need to believe or pay attention to the words to really enjoy his music. It's worth a look for the beats and gravel-edged tones of Tyler's flow alone, but if you're easily offended then take my advice... Earmuffs! (bear in mind the two tracks below are some of the tamest off the album)... Enjoy
Here is the first taste of the new album from Mr. Vernon and the rest of Bon Iver. He has been popping up a fair bit recently sharing the stage with fellow performers at various festivals and shows (most recently assisting The National and Kanye West with a few tracks at Coachella). The new self-titled album is due for release on June 21, and you can jump over to their label site Jagjaguwar here to download the first single. Or you can just stream it below... Enjoy
