Janelle Monae – The Shape of Things to Come.

Shape What’s to Come is an online community for women to exchange blah, blah, blah — it’s a Levi’s promotion meant to target women using social media. I’ve seen far better corporate promo, even from Levi’s who laced us with a sweet Raphael Saadiq track in June. What does a..

Trademark Da SkyDiver – Super Sticky (ft. Smoke DZA) (produced by Ski Beatz).

(image) There must be a special strain of weed that gets the DD172 team in a zone where they can make songs like “Super Sticky” and “Sounds Of The Indo.” Focused, jazzy tracks that you can put on loop while you stare at the ceiling for an hour. Here, Trademark..

Blu – KeepItGoing (ft. U-God) (produced by Flying Lotus) (cuts by Rhettmatic).

Studio footage for the bizarre collab above. Some interesting Blu nuggets and insight at Passion of the Weiss. This song is old as hell and it’s missing a verse. There’s no release date in sight for Blu’s album No York. Blu recently said it would contain production from Lotus, Samiyam,..

Mayer Hawthorne – No Strings (Roller Boogie Remix) (produced by DJ Jazzy Jeff).

Quoth Jazz, “I’m a big Mayer Hawthorne fan, so when the chance came up to do the remix, I jumped at it. It made me feel like I was at a roller disco, so I went with the roller boogie feel… I had a blast doing it.” There you have..

Amy Winehouse – It’s My Party (produced by Mark Ronson).

So what’s an Amy Winehouse/Mark Ronson song doing on a Quincy Jones album? Q Soul Bossa Nostra consists of reinterpretations of Quincy Jones songs. Quincy explained his role in the project in a recent interview, These weren’t like sessions where I’m there producing the records. I’m just observing, really. I..

Chris Brown – Deuces (Remix) (ft. Drake, T.I., Kanye West, Fabolous, Rick Ross, Andre 3000).

So many names you’d think it was pieced together by a mixtape DJ. I remember when Chris Brown was that kid who had a song with Juelz Santana. Update: A month later, here’s the final, full, dirty version of the remix. Chris Brown released an EP today with five different..

Chrisette Michele – Dear Miss Audrey (ft. Lem Payne) (produced by Salaam Remi).

(image) Master producer Salaam Remi only pops up sporadically, but when he does, it’s always something extra special. Chrisette Michele’s tribute to Audrey Hepburn comes straight out of Amy Winehouse throwback soul territory. Miss Michele’s upcoming mixtape, Love Thy Brother, is all unreleased material and leftovers from previous albums. Download:..

Nicki Minaj – Roman’s Revenge (ft. Eminem) (produced by Swizz Beatz).

Nicki’s vocal tricks and Em’s rage match up surprisingly well, even if both routines are getting old. And to his credit, Swizz Beatz provides an interesting beat that doesn’t crumble under the weight of the collaboration. Hopefully Nicki’s energy can make her debut less boring than Drake’s. The cover could..
