[MP3] Lauren Frawley – Here (Alessia Cara Cover)

Been meaning to post this cover version track for literally weeks now. In the meantime Canadian singer, Alessia Cara, who did the original, has gone from being buzz artist to verging on full-on, blow-up status as has this cover version based on the spin count for it! Good to hear Portishead (or technically actually the Isaac Hayes sample used for Portishead’s “Glory Box”) in this context though, no, for those of you who remember either of those tracks from back (and way back) in the day?

[MP3] Belau Feat. Hegyi Dori – Island Of Promise / Distant Bay

Sick of the new Adele already? You might could wanna try new artist, Belau whose music is, give or take, like a hipster variation on what she does to my ears.

[MP3 + Music Video] Missy Elliott Feat. Pharrell Williams – WTF (Where They From)

Missy Elliott is currently CRUSHING the internet with this new song and great video featuring long-time collaborator, Pharrell Williams. Who wouldn’t love this??! Vintage Missy and pure hip-hop in the truest sense of the term.

[MP3] Grandtheft – Quit This City Feat. Lowell

[MP3] T.I. – Check, Run It

I won’t lie: I think “Check, Run It” is cool but I mostly did this post as an excuse to post that “Classic Man” track T.I. did with Jidenna which I missed posting when it dropped. That track is a SMASH! Hit the jump to hear it if you’ve been living under a rock the past few weeks and somehow missed it.

While we’re on the subject of T.I. though, does anyone know what’s good with this afternoon (?) show he’s supposedly doing at Adelaide Hall here in Toronto this Saturday (Sept. 12)?
