If I was a professional athlete this would be my hype music. The aggression of this song sounds like Yeezus meets grime…I’m very curious to see what SWISH will sound like.

♩ Kanye West ft. Theophilus London, Allan Kingdom & Paul McCartney – All Day [single]

[kanyewest.com]

I cannot get enough of this song…aside from Adele’s “Hello”, this has to be the most covered/talked about song of the year…this version is so good that I like it much better than the original.

♩ Erykah Badu – HOTLINE BLING BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE MIX [from BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE]

[erykah-badu.com]

glass animals ft joey badass_600

It only makes sense that a smooth British band signed to Dr. Dre’s label would collaborate with some hip hop artists.

♩ Glass Animals &Joey Bada$$ – Lose Control [single]

[theproera.com] + [glassanimals.eu]

One of the only rappers today still doing 90s style gansta rap, and it doesn’t sound dated from Mr. Gibbs. This guy can rap, and he could have gone the major label route but chose to keep things small and do things his way…which I love

♩ Freddie Gibbs – 10 Times (ft. Gucci Mane & E-40) [from Shadow of a Doubt]

His sophomore album may be closer to a release than expected and if the first few tracks are any indication, Kendrick will be holding onto his throne as hip hop’s new king.

♩ Kendrick Lamar – i [single]

[kendricklamar.com]

I hope these two never stop making music. Some producers and MCs just click…similar to the vibes that Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar have, Freddie and Madlib keep old school gangster vibes going on Pinata. I love the sample on this track too (Thuggin is also on this record but that song has been out forever)

♩ Freddie Gibbs & Madlib – Shame (feat. BJ The Chicago Kid0 [from Piñata] (via soundcloud)

[stonesthrow.com]

The T.D.E. crew continues to impress with every release. Obviously King Kendrick is still killing it with his various features and collabs with Flying Lotus, but his labelmates do not disappoint either. Schoolboy Q’s debut full length had features from fellow T.D.E. cohorts Jay Rock and Kendrick and other big names in hip hop like 2 Chainz and Tyler, The Creator.

♩ Schoolboy Q – Man of the Year [from Oxymoron] (via soundcloud)

[schoolboyq.com]

I love when it’s obvious that rappers have beat envy. 0-100 was one of those tracks that every rapper wanted when they heard it because everyone soon released their own freestyles or remixes over that beat. Say what you want about Drake, but he can rap (sometimes) and he always gets dope production.

♩ Drake – 0 to 100 / The Catch Up [single] (via soundcloud)

I do a radio show once a month and I was playing a bunch of recent music I was stuck on and had to play this song…the only problem is that she drops like 5 f-bombs, but I was determined. I imported the track and edited the song myself just so I could play it. Granted it was a crude radio edit, but I was able to play it. (also has an awesome video)

♩ FKA Twigs – Two Weeks [from LP1]

[f-k-a-twigs.tumblr.com]

Jay Z actually rapped on this song…like when he used to talk about selling drugs.

♩ Rick Ross – The Devil is a Lie (feat. Jay Z) [from Mastermind]

[rozayraw.com]

“With his rhymes just cruising effortlessly over the beat, this slick verse from Gibbs gives this ultra smooth remix its necessary street flavor while still retaining that nostalgic ’90s R&B vibe.” (via Jonathan Viray, Hypebeast)

♩ JMSN – Street Sweeper (Remix feat. Freddie Gibbs) [Single]

[iamjmsn.com]

Easily one of my favorite tracks of the year and the entire is album is solid, which is hard to say these days. Her voice is brooding and the production is almost cinematic.

♩ Banks – Warm Water (Snakehips Remix) [Single]
