[MP3] Common – Kingdom feat. Vince Staples

This would have been a good track to post yesterday, the day I normally post more classic soulful or reggae sounds, if I wasn’t out and about enjoying the amazing weather we had then caught up semi-live tweeting the end of Hot 97’s Summerjam. The chorus on this new Common single has a real gospel/spiritual feel, no? This six minute plus epic is apparently from his forthcoming album, Nobody Smiling. I like it (it kind of reminds me of “The Corner” in style) and to his credit, it doesn’t feel six minutes long which is a good sign.

[MP3] Duck Sauce – NRG (Skrillex, Kill The Noise, Milo & Otis Remix)

In case you ain’t know, the Skrillex Motherland Tour is at TD Echo Beach in Toronto TONIGHT. Get ready for it, if you’re not down there already, with this remix he did of the Duck Sauce single, “NRG.”

And if you haven’t already, you can listen to the entire Duck Sauce – Quack album HERE

[MP3] Major Lazer – Come On To Me Feat. Sean Paul (Major Lazer Vs ETC!ETC)

Great track to kick off Saturday night! Mad Decent Block Party coming end of July.

[MP3] Justin Bieber feat. Migos – Looking For You

In which Bieber makes his best fake Chris Brown record and drags Migos in to give him some street cred. I’m not sure how I feel about Migos dropping n-bombs (and ‘b-tch’ references) all over a Justin Bieber record though! Smdh….

Update: in follow-up to my last comment above, I should have known!
