[MP3] Listen to Two Great Tracks Produced by Kaytranada…

First, “Wimme Nah” by rapper, Vic Mensa and then the amazingly sublime “Leave Me Alone (feat. Shay Lia).” That latter track is the kind of track that reminds me of dancing late night at First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum. It’s actually from an EP Kaytranada has been working on called So Bad coming out on XL. You can Buy it on Itunes HERE.

[Album Premiere] Different Kitchen presents This One Goes To Eleven…

Well it’s finally here: the This One Goes To Eleven… 11th Anniversary compilation album for Different Kitchen! It’s been a three to four month journey putting this project together but it came together in a really great way and I’m super happy & proud of the sound of it and how it turned out in the end.

I’ve spent 11 years doing this blog, at some points spending more time on it than others but this is one of the things in my life that I get to do that really reflects who I am, my musical & aesthetic tastes and how I see the world without regard for what is cool, will sell or drive online traffic or what I should be doing from a career or personal life point of view.

All of the artists on the album are ones I really dig, personally and I have backed that up by supporting their music and careers on the blog. I’m glad that they all came through and supported this project with their art. Props go out to The Names Are Known, King Reign & Saukrates, Keita Juma, Brendan Philip, Noah Vinson & Isis Ash, Joel. & Arthur Lewis, J.Nolan, Jai Nitai Lotus & Sam I Am Montolla, Audego, Emay, Third Mind, 416 Band and Mickey Factz.

Also a big thanks goes out to Exclaim! magazine, the top music media outlet in Canada, who came on board as a media partner and co-premiered the album on their site HERE.

Tired of streaming the album and want to play it in iTunes, on your mp3 player or go ‘old school’ and burn a CD copy for the whip? Download the entire This One Goes To Eleven… album complete with art HERE: mediafire (zip file)

[MP3] PARTYNEXTDOOR – Recognize Feat. Drake

Track featuring Drizzy Drake from his just released second album which is pretty good although, the level to which he is color-struck throughout the album is pretty astounding. The hook on this track is just one example of many on the album.
