Introducing Roney + Nani – Dirty Sick (Video) / Take It Off + Put You On Hold (MP3’s)

Never heard of this group before even though they have actually played my boy, Chilly’s Rollin’ & Scratchin’ party in the past. I came up on them from screening submissions for this summer’s NXNE (you can still submit, deadline is tomorrow). Honestly, the dude vocalist is kind of mediocre but she sounds (and looks) good, the beats (which are more hipster, electro-club fresh than some straight-up hip hop ish) are great, the songs are fun & catchy and they’re local plus look at the video! Their swag is pretty unf-ckwittable!

Download their brand new Black Success mixtape at their website HERE. Hit the jump for another track too.

[Music Video] Santigold – Big Mouth

Loved Santi‘s debut album but for those who said she was too much of an M.I.A. knock-off, this new Switch and Buraka Som Sistema-produced track is not exactly going to convince them otherwise! Dig the track though? Download “Big Mouth” HERE.

Listen to The Weeknd – Echoes Of Silence Mixtape in FULL! (Album Stream)

The Weeknd – Echoes Of Silence by The_Weeknd

I’ve played this a couple times so far but I haven’t really given it my full, full attention. My first, snap judgment on this, as rendered on twitter last night when it was released, was that this was better than Thursday but not quite as good as the (now) monumental House of Balloons but that it sounded like Abel and crew had decided to pick up the tempo a little bit.

Not sure that opinion will hold up on subsequent listens but one thing I will say is that I agree with Anupa that him covering Michael Jackson‘s “Dirty Diana” for the opening track on this collection is kind of epic and inspired! It just feels right and really makes you realize how subversive a songwriter and artist Jackson could be even at his commercial peak as the biggest pop star in the world back in late 80’s.

But enough from me, what y’all think??
