[MP3] Mocky – Little Bird

Beautiful track:

Mocky shares “Little Bird”, the first glimpse of the upcoming Graveyard Novelas EP which is due 2/25/13 from Heavy Sheet. To create this gem, Mocky recorded part of it in Berlin with a 30 piece choir and the other part in LA with an auto-tuned vibraphone.

[MP3] Big Boi feat. Little Dragon – Mama Told Me

Just leaked last night:

It’s hard enough for a song to create a clamor on the Internet once, but for one song to do it twice? The Flush-produced “Mama Told Me” first made a splash this summer when OutKast’s Big Boi performed the song live with Little Dragon in Austin. However, a later leak featured Destiny Child’s Kelly Rowland on the hook and bridge instead of the Swedish pop darlings—leaving everyone to wonder what the heck happened. Citing “business terms out of our control,” the ’80s funk ditty on Big Boi’s album will feature Rowland when his Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors drops on Tuesday, but it’s Little Dragon who will perform with him on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. Good to see business not getting in the way of friendship and even better to hear the Little Dragon version, which was released by Big Boi today.

One thing that’s remained consistent is the infectious beat supplied by the production team of Jeron Ward, Rick Wallkk and Go Dreamer, aka The Flush. And an ATLien’s stamp of approval doesn’t get anymore official than one from the notary office of Big Boi—especially with a song so nice, he had to release it twice.

[MP3 + Music Video] Michele Wylen – Holla If U Wanna feat. Tre Redeau

Digging this track by new artist. Giving me vaguely Sleigh Bells (or maybe it’s M.I.A.??) vibes. What y’all think though??

[Album Stream] New Artist: Introducing Skipp Whitman – 5AM

Been really digging this BK by way of Boston MC, Skipp Whitman‘s 5AM album since I started checking it out yesterday. Skipp handles all the completely original (no sample) production himself and it is impeccable. Vocally he reminds me of the homie, D-sisive at times and a little bit of friend of The Kitchen, T.Shirt as well but overall, this is kind of fresh to my ears. I digs! What about y’all??

If you like what you hear and you’re in the NYC area, Skipp has a show at Arelene’s Grocery in the LES tomorrow evening. Hit the jump for more details.
