Homeboy Sandman - All That I Hold Dear (Audio)

Gifted lyricist and all round good guy, Homeboy Sandman, releases his new project "All That I Hold Dear" today. Like with his previous EP, "Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent" produced solely by El RTNC, again he enlists the help of one producer. This time M. Slago is on the boards.

To celebrate the release of the 7 track album, he has dropped a single not featured on there. The track named "All That I Hold Dear OUT NOW" can be streamed below and the digital version of the album can be copped at Stone's Throw Records. Physical copies of the album ship in September.

Alice Russell - For A While (Video)

Alice Russell releases a video to accompany her next single, "For A While", from her current album "To Dust". This single will be released on the 27th August.

The Incomparable Shakespeare - Supastar Proceedings (Audio)

BK's The Incomparable Shakespeare drops another track in the lead up to his "By Any Dreams Necessary" project. This time he borrows from The Roots and Group Home, hence the song title.

Find the track below along with a video from earlier this month called "Tried By 12 Brooklyn Kidz".

14KT - Crown feat. Black Milk & MED (Free Download)

Michigan producer, 14KT liberates a free single in anticipation of his upcoming instrumental album "Nickel & Dimed". Released on September 3rd through Mello Music Group, it will include a bonus vocal EP including artists such as Blu, Kokane, JMSN and others.

The first single features Detroit's Black Milk and LA's MED, which you can stream or download below for free.

The Kid Daytona - Picasso Baby Freestyle (Video)

The Bronx own, The Kid Daytona, drops visuals for his latest freestyle. This time he goes in over Hov's "Picasso Baby". Shot in St. Emilion, France, he lets a few of the locals get a little camera time.

See the video below. Also listen to a recent collaboration with France's DJ Cut Killer, who you might remember from his appearance in "La Haine" as he DJ'd from his project window.

Prodigy - Gangsta Love feat. Esther Seems (DJ Q Garage Remix) (Audio)

Something a little bit different, especially if you're a Mobb Deep fan.

Last week on Twitter, Prodigy expressed interest in hearing a remix of one of his old songs. UK producer DJ Q obliged and came up with the garage alternative you can hear below. It sounds OK to me. Takes me back to the late 90's/early 00's, so not a bad thing. I expect mixed reviews though.

The remix and original video are beneath.

P-Money - The Professional feat. Roc Marciano (Video)

P-Money drops his second video in a month from his current album "Gratitude". This time he's joined by Roc Marciano on the track "The Professional". Look out for Roc's own album, "Marci Beaucoup", coming later in the year.

"Gratitude" is out now on iTunes.

Stalley - Raise Your Weapons (Download)

Perhaps the most underrated and underexposed artist in Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, Stalley has been putting out quality music for a number of years. I still don't see the role he plays on that label but it certainly hasn't stopped me from checking for this Cleveland native's output.

As many other artists have voiced their opinions on the Trayvon Martin case, it was inevitable that a slew of songs would come out of the woodwork. To be honest, I haven't listened to any of them. This track seems like it was made way before that verdict so I just take it for what it is. Good music. No Yeezy.

Listen/download below. After the track, watch his most recent video for "Swangin" featuring Scarface.

Drums Of Death - True featuring Yasmin (Video)

Drums Of Death releases the video to his track "True" which was out early last month. Guest vocalist is the lovely Yasmin who also appears in the video clip. Another track that will no doubt be heard throughout the summer. The tune is available on iTunes.

Watch the video below.

Mystro - Keep Doin It (Video)

MysDiggi is back with a new track produced by Strange Neighbour. "Keep Doin It" is from a AA Side 7" Vinyl being released on Revorg Records. The other track features Cappo. It can be ordered here and it drops on August 2nd.

Check the video.



Mystro's album Mystrogen is also available on Bandcamp.

Robin Thicke - Ain't No Hat 4 That (Audio)

Surely everyone knows about Robin Thicke by now. His worldwide hit "Blurred Lines" finally made him a household name despite the fact he's been writing, performing and producing for a very long time.

In the lead up to his new album, also named "Blurred Lines", Robin has been previewing songs from it and the couple I've heard haven't impressed. The EDM influence is just too much, even with Timbaland on the boards for one of those tracks. The latest track to be unveiled is in more familiar territory and doesn't disappoint. Co-written with his father Alan Thicke (he wrote this theme tune), it definitely stands out as a pre-album favourite.

Listen to the stream below. The album drops July 30th.

Tech N9ne - Fragile feat. Kendrick Lamar, ¡MAYDAY! & Kendall Morgan (Single)

Kansas City's Tech N9ne releases a new single in anticipation of his album, "Something Else", dropping on the 25th of July through Strange Music.. This collab includes a verse from Kendrick Lamar, which was bound to happen sooner or later. The kid's in demand so Tech's probably been waiting a while.

*The two have collaborated previously on a track named "I Love Music". Thanks for the correction Phil!*

Listen to the track below.

Mack Wilds - Own It (Single/Lyric Video)

After my post of Typesun's "The PL", I thought another summer tune couldn't hurt. This time it comes from Mack Wilds. You'll probably recognise him as Tristan Wilds from The Wire and 90210 fame. The track, written and produced by Salaam Remi and Ne-Yo, is bound to be something you'll be hearing a lot of. The "Eric B. Is President" drums are a nice touch too!

Watch the lyric video below and it's available for purchase on iTunes.

Typesun - The PL

Wanted to make a post about this tune for a while now. Having been around for half a year, with it's release in January, Bristol's Typesun has made one of the best soul tracks I've heard for a long time. I must admit that it was a totally random find on Bandcamp but I'm so happy that I stumbled upon it. With it being a favourite to the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mr. Scruff and Jazzanova, Typesun is in very good company.

Bandcamp's description,

"Deep, minimal, underground soul music from Bristol's Typesun, this time featuring vocals from a man who would rather keep his identity on the down low for now."

Listen/buy the track and a remix by Behling & Simpson below. 

*Update. Video added.* 

 

Justin Timberlake - Take Back The Night (Audio)

Following the brief teaser video for the upcoming album in September, Mr. Biel releases full audio for the first single lifted from it. The track is produced by Timbaland and can be downloaded with pre-orders of the album.

Listen to the track below.

Jay-Z - Dead Presidents 3

So, Jay-Z was on Twitter Monday evening, answering fan questions in an unofficial Q&A session. Amid the tweets, Hov gave the go ahead for his long time engineer, Young Guru, to liberate the original version of "Dead Presidents 3". A shorter version with only one verse was floating around the Internet and mixtapes about six or seven years ago. The full track, produced by Young Guru, has a second verse that was eventually used on "Moment Of Clarity" on "The Black Album".

Listen to the full track below.

Mr. & Mrs. Carter - Part II (On The Run)

Jay-Z's 12th solo studio album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, was released on the 4th of July exclusively to Samsung users. Or so they thought. Through an app on Samsung devices, at midnight (U.S. EST), the album was unlocked to those subscribers. Unfortunately, for a number of fans, the app crashed and by the time they were able to receive the album it was already on the Web for the world too. Anyway...

The album itself has been labelled as rushed, amazing, a poor effort, his best since The Black Album, worse than The Blueprint 3 and I've seen a few people on Twitter call it a classic. A classic? It's only been out two days!

Obviously these are all opinions and I'm not even going to discuss the album. But I do want to mention one track that I was expecting to hear a lot more about but haven't. Jay and Bey making "Part II (On The Run)". Personally, I think it's a standout song on the album and a great sequel to "'03 Bonnie & Clyde". Beyoncé sounds great on the laid back beat and I think she stole the song.

Here it is, along with their first collaboration beneath.

Remy Shand Making A Comeback?

Remy Shand is one of those artists where I've never met a single person who's heard of him. I may be wrong, but it's a real shame if you haven't and you should change that as soon as you can.

The Canadian soul singer made waves back in 2002 with his debut album, on Motown Records, with The Way I Feel. There were a number of singles released, my favourite being, Take A Message. Within a year or two of these singles, I never heard anything of him again. Until now.

In May he appeared on Youtube with a couple of new compositions, to the delight of his fans who had been commenting under his old videos for years wondering where he was and when he would be back. A new single, that is dedicated to his mother, has appeared on Bandcamp. The track, named Springtime, can be streamed or bought below. Hopefully there is more to follow.
