[MP3] Yuksek & JD Samson – Don’t Even Try

And yet another weekend party starter from the Brooklyn label, YouTooCanWoo. Melody in vocal reminds us of “That’s Not My Name” by The Ting Tings. Are we crazy for saying that??

[Video Premiere] Yellow Shoots – Desert Rose

We posted the single back in May but here goes an EXCLUSIVE World Premiere of the video for “Desert Rose”, the single previous to the current online viral hit (currently #7 on the HypeMachine chart), “magic on my pillow” from Brooklyn-by-way-of-Philly artist and new Kitchen fave, Yellow Shoots.

Both tracks come from the forthcoming album, everything due out next week on July 23 (yes, that’s a Monday, not the usual Friday release). Want to know why you should start your week off with this stack of funk/soul/pop/rock goodness as your soundtrack? Just hit play on that video for the answer!

[MP3] Alex Mali – Set Good

A little something to get your Friday night poppin’ and your weekend kicked off right from the Brooklyn-based Alex Mali. Think a more underground but still accessible Rihanna….

[Music Video + MP3] Joey Bada$$ – When Thugs Cry (Prince cover for Triple J’s Like A Version)

Super dope (kind of) ‘cover’ of Prince‘s iconic “When Doves Cry” by Joey Badass. Really excited for were Joey is trying to do musically. He is confounding even my expectations of what he could do and certainly those of hip-hop conservatives and classicists out there for whom his early 90’s-inspired throwback music was a wet dream.

[MP3] Gashi – Used To Be

New single by this Brooklyn-based Roc Nation artist. When it’s all said and done, this opioid crisis might have a lot to answer for in hip-hop.
