[MP3] Drake – Crew Love feat. The Weeknd

So Drake‘s Take Care album leaked yesterday and, predictably, had the internets going nuts. I left some of my thoughts on it on twitter but here’s an all-T.dot track featuring fellow broke-by-the-internets phenom, The Weeknd for those of you who have been ethical enough not to download or even listen to the album yet:

Take Care will be released on Nov. 15.

[Mixtape] A$AP Rocky – Live, Love, A$AP FULL Stream

A$AP Rocky – Live, Love, A$AP (Mixtape) by Diamond Media 360

I know a GRIP of mixtapes have dropped in the past week with this debut (?) collection by the young uptown gunner, ASAP Rocky probably the most anticipated especially in the wake of his alleged $3 million (:/) deal with RCA/Polo Grounds. While you can of course, probably go access them all easily elsewhere, I’m gonna do my best to post some of them here at The Kitchen anyway ‘cos not all my readers are avid hip hop blog-reading nerds like that….

[Different Kitchen EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE] Rah Rah – Henry (Rich Kidd remix) (MP3)

MP3 Download: Rah Rah – Henry (Rich Kidd Remix)

I love this! Remix track by T.dot’s finest, Rich Kidd from the Rahmixes remix album by Rah Rah. Scroll down to see the video of the original, which ain’t bad but props to Rich Kidd for maintaining the core and the spirit of the original but still making it way more funky:

And hit the jump if you’d like to hear the rest of the original Breaking Hearts album and the Rahmixes album. Thanks to Parkside at Hidden Pony records who I met in Hamilton last week for offering to partner with The Kitchen on this exclusive download premiere offer. Rahmixes will be out on November 15.

[Music Video] Reema Major – I’m The One

Reema Major – I’m The One by G7Records | MP3 download link: mediafire

Featuring a cameo by The ‘Bawse’, Ricky Rozay. I get it: Rick Ross prolly ain’t flying up here just to shoot a cameo for this (?) but I wish they’d shot the video in Toronto instead of (presumably) Florida. BTW: this had been emailed to me by ‘Papa Smirf’ (Aka ‘The Blast King’) a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t see it in my inbox until after I’d seen the video on Much Music while clicking through to Headline News this morning.
