Listen Before You Buy

Jay-Z drops a track dedicated ti his newly-born child, featuring said child on crying vocals.

One of the more impressive mashups I’ve heard quite a few months.

TweetShare Listen to Rihanna‘s new album “Talk That Talk” below. Only a few hours after her song “Drunk On Love” which samples The xx dropped, we can now listen to her entire new album “Talk That Talk”. If you’re a fan of Rihanna‘s then you’ll love this album, but if you’re not already a fan [...]

TweetShare Listen to Rihanna‘s new song “Drunk On Love” below, taken from her album “Talk That Talk”. We’ve only been talking about it for a week or two now, but it’s finally here. Rihanna‘s new jam “Drunk On Love” which samples The xx‘s song “Intro” is easily the best song of hers that I’ve heard [...]

TweetShare When I first heard the single “Close Your Eyes” by The Bullitts I knew I had to hear it again. I listened the song over and over and over again, ’til I was bobbing my head and singing along. The single’s hypnotic opening monologue, repeated throughout like a mantra, ebbing perfectly with the beat; the [...]

TweetShare I feel I should preface this review by admitting that I’ve been a Kanye West fan ever since I heard “Jesus Walks”, and while I don’t admire Jay-Z‘s musical prowess quite as much as that of his protege, I have mad respect for him as a rap legend. Both of them brought their A-game to the table [...]

TweetShare This will be big. Mainly because of those two heavyweights of Jay-Z and Kanye West at the epicentre of the album, but also because it’ll promise to throw up some really great songs and after the first track we heard from it (“H.A.M”) garnered a lukewarm reception, the second track “Otis” got a much [...]

TweetShare Continuing in the noble tradition of Danger Mouse and his “Grey Album” come Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy – a.k.a. Wugazi. There’s no prizes for guessing who they like to mash up: The Wu-Tang Clan and Fugazi. The result of their prodigious tinkering, “13 Chambers”, has finally dropped – and it’s pretty much every [...]

TweetShare Something about summer always gets me thinking about songs that sound like summer, but I’m not the only one. Earlier today Tyler the Creator dropped his Summer Camp Mix on the Odd Future web site. The mix is full of tunes that just feel like heat rays beating down on you while you’re chilling on your backyard [...]

TweetShareThe official finished version. Hot dayum this song is so tight, and I still can’t get enough of Nicki’s verse. Connect with Kanye West – Facebook | Twitter | Last.fm | Website

TweetShare This post is a “QuickPick”.  QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in [...]

TweetShare You know what makes an otherwise completely shite morning/week better? New Santigold.  NEW SANTIGOLD!  It’s kinda hard to believe that it’s been three years since her Alternative-Electronic-Indie self-titled debut dropped and took the musical world by storm.  Since then she’s toured the world, inspired mass-dance-athons, worked with various and sundry musicians and also disappeared [...]
