[MP3 + Music Video] Asap Rocky x Tyler the Creator – Potato Salad
First single from Rocky and Tyler‘s apparently upcoming WANG$AP collab project. With some of those lyrics though, I think we need this!

[MP3 + Music Video] Stefflon Don – Senseless
More island-influenced sounds , this time from underrated (but happily, rapidly becoming less o) female London rapper, Stefflon Don. I’m cosigning this one simply off the strength of her sucking her teeth in the middle of the record, jokes!

[MP3 + Music Video] 6IX9INE – FEFE Feat. Nicki Minaj / TATI Feat. DJ Spingking
New single from 6ix9ine featuring Nicki Minaj. Is it gonna do what he think it gonna do? And, in seeming contradiction to that, is this story legit or a PR stunt?
Hit the jump for another recenet single from 6ix9ine, “TATI” featuring DJ Spingking…
[MP3] Lil Yachty – MICKEY Feat. Offset & Lil Baby (aka the #ZoomChallenge song)
Meanwhile, the other exploding viral challenge has been responsible for rocket launching activity on my normally pretty sleepy Instagram page.
[MP3 + Music Video] Shad – The Fool Pt 1 (Get it Got it Good)
“Damn it feels good to be back
Damn it feels good to be black
They keep on killing us
We just keep killing it…”
For his new album, polymath emcee Shad has vibrantly imagined and created an entirely new world. A Short Story About A War releases October 26 on Secret City Records. This concept album holds a mirror to our world – a provocative story told through disarmingly catchy songs that weaves through issues of migration, environment, politics and above all, the human spirit.
The album was created in collaboration with dozens of musicians and engineers: From luminaries like Kaytranada, 2oolman of A Tribe Called Red, and Lido Pimienta, to crafty indie rockers Yukon Blonde, and Toronto rap veterans Ian Kamau, Eternia, and DJ T Lo. Their contributions bring multiple textures and colours to Shad’s singular vision.
He’s been busy over the past few years with a stint hosting the preeminent Canadian radio talk show and an Emmy/Peabody-award winning documentary series, so welcome back (to rapping), Shad!!!
