[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.

[Mixtape] bizZarh – The Cover Up (FULL album stream)

New mixtape project by 88 Days of Fortune affiliate, bizZarh mixed by fellow 88 days members, Spek Won and KJ. I digs! Extra props for the use of the 680 News TV spot music on the track, “B-tchez ‘n N-ggaz” although that is probably my least favorite track on the album (felt kind of gratuitous to me although I get the sense she made the track to spoof the use of those terms, be ironic or something??).

[MP3] Beatface – You Shook Me All Night Long (AC/DC cover)

MP3 Download: You Shook Me All Night Long by BEATFACE

Yes, really! A cover of the classic frat rock track by AC/DC. This coulda been a travesty but I think it actually turned out not bad! Agree?

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??

I introduced this UK artist a couple months back. Here’s her latest attempt at an electro-rap banger. Y’all dig?
