[MP3] Frank Ocean – Godspeed (dvsn Remix)

I still ain’t heard the Frank Ocean Blonde album because for some reason it still hasn’t been released on other streaming sites besides Apple Music despite what the High Snobiety article I swiped this from claims. So I don’t even know what the original version of this track sounds like and what Toronto’s alternative soul duo, dvsn did as far as remixing it. Thoughts though?

[MP3] The Weeknd Feat. Daft Punk – Starboy

Well that was quick. First single and title track from The Weeknd‘s forthcoming (Nov. 25) 18 track new album, Starboy which was just announced yesterday featuring Daft Punk. From ThisisRnB:

Earlier this month, The Weeknd promised that Starboy would be his “best-sounding” album to date with influences ranging from The Smiths and Bad Brains to Prince.

“I think it’ll be the best-sounding album I’ve ever done,” he told VMAN. “It’s hard to label the sound because, when I first came out, nobody would label it R&B. I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced.”

Abel is not playing!

[MP3] Moka Only – Food Truck

A taco truck on every corner? No, it’s just the single from Moka Only from the forthcoming new Bassments of Badmen compilation. Kind of R.I.Y.L MF Doom tbh (with maybe a little Sean P in the mix too) but we like this one….

[MP3 + Music Video] Ultra Magnus and DJ SLAM! – Thirst Trap

First single, “Thirst Trap” from Toronto hip hop duo, Ultra Magnus and DJ SLAM! off their sophomore album, Magnus Opus on Hand’Solo Records. R.I.Y.L early 90s backpack hip-hop. Anyone make it to the release event?

[MP3] Tory Lanez – Diamonds (prod. C-Sick)

Latest single release from Toronto rapper, Tory Lanez‘ I Told You official debut album dropping tomorrow (Aug. 19). Can’t read the buzz for this record. Feels a little muted but I’m not in the middle of the world it’s targeting, truth be told.
