Rapper Big Pooh – Wooden Wall Silverware (produced by Madlib), Video.

Strong Arm Steady’s “Chittlins & Pepsi” was Food Network rap, but this right here is om nom nom rap. “Wooden Wall Silverware” appears on Rapper Big Pooh’s FatBoyFresh Vol. 1. Madlib beats are rich in omega-3s.

Best Coast- Gone Again, Single.

Best Coast is quite possibly the one band that I would truly categorize as the perfect summer music. Simple chord changes, airy vocals… it just feels like the beach. Best Coast has participated in the Adult Swim Singles Program which I’m grateful for since it means new (and free!) music from a band whose last album dropped an entire year ago. Check out Adult Swim and also listen to Gone Again here:

Theophilus London – Flying Overseas (Soul Clap EFunk Remix).

Theophilus London (you might remember his name from back in January) is the epitome of cool. He has a rapping style that is accessible to everyone but he also has a fashion sense that makes me wish I could pull off men’s clothing. In February, London came out with his Lovers Holiday EP and one of the best tracks was unanimously Flying Overseas which featured both Devonte Hynes and Solange Knowles. Soul Clap speeds up this track and transforms the laidback melody-rap into a dance track filtered with watery effects. Be on the lookout for Theophilus London’s first full length album, Timez Are Weird These Days, that drops in a few weeks. You can listen to the remix here:

Sure enough, there’s the button-down Co$$ bought right before our interview last month. He told me “Pot Ash” is his favorite song on Before I Awoke.
