[MP3] NxWorries – Anderson Paak & Knxwledge – Lyk Dis

Bummed I had to miss Anderson .Paak‘s appearance at Manifesto Festival last week for my cousin’s birthday (family first and his party was fantastic) but loving this new track featuring him. This is a new joint from his NxWorries collab project with Knxwledge, “Lyk Dis.” You may be familiar with their track, “Suede” which dropped around the time Paak was about to blow up from his cameos on Dr. Dre‘s Compton album but well before his own superlative, solo release, Malibu which is vying for album of the year status in my books with Rihanna‘s ANTI album right now. BTW: His appearance on Colbert with Mac Miller last week was pretty cool too.

[MP3] GoldLink – Fall in Love Feat. Ciscero (produced by KAYTRANADA & BadBadNotGood)

Didn’t get enough KAYTRANADA yet? Check out this recent drop by Goldlink produced by brand new Polaris winner, Kay and short listers from last year, BadBadNotGood. This one is niiiice…..

[News] KAYTRANADA Wins the 2016 Polaris Music Prize

This is kind of a big deal. This is really the first hip-hop or black electronic/urban-centric release to win this Canadian critics’ award. Well-deserved it is too. While I always liked the album, it took a minute to really grow on me but by time it was down to the wire I was fully on board as the video of me endorsing it above, that played as part of the full Gala broadcast Monday night, attests! Congrats, Kay and for the rest of you not on his train, get on board. This is the future….

[MP3] AUDeGO – I Don’t Need You

I’m still digesting their excellent Glaciers EP but Kitchen faves, Audego (now being stylized as AUDeGO??) are back with even more new music from a forthcoming new EP to be co-released through Bad Panda records, the sublime “I Don’t Need You”:

“I Don’t Need You” is about the uncertainty that surrounds wanting to be somebody’s somebody but not wanting to give yourself up. It’s about that sometimes awful feeling in the beginning of a crush where you’re trying to be cool but really your heart is about to fall out of your chest.

I’ve been there! Trust me….

[MP3] Thundercat – Bus In These Streets

Perfect close of summer soundtrack single from Thundercat, the session bassist and solo artist in his own right affilated with Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus.
