Weekly Digest 7
Think what you want about Snoop Dogg’s reincarnation as Snoop Lion, but joining forces with Diplo and Major Lazer definitely results in some sweet dubby music. This almost failproof formula gets upped by adding someone like Angela Hunte to sing the hook for his new leak “Here Comes The King” from Snoop Lion’s forthcoming “Reincarnated” album.
A-Trak, the man GQ calls “the most skillful DJ in the world” finishes 2012 strongly with his four track deep Tuna Melt EP, which is available now. Each track is a collaboration with an eclectic choice of producers: Tommy Trash, GTA, Galantis and Oliver. Buy Tuna Melt here or stream the track below.
Earl Sweatshirt‘s outdoes himself on his latest release “Chum“. Not just beats and lyrics are on point, even the video is dope!
Jhené Aiko describes her new output “Mirrors” best: “I wrote a song to sing to myself … on days like these … when I look in the mirror and it disagrees….”
Nick Hook’s EP dropped earlier this year and “Sirens” featuring El-P was one of the highlights. This track recently got a video treatment that’s not fancy, but spooky to say the least. Two girls rapping in a text with shadows lurking outside? Yes, please!
Taken from the upcoming Skreamizm 7 (dropping 21st Dec), this one is a rather intersting and different track from dubstep mastermind Skream and singer Kelis.
We’re a bit embarrased to not having featured this earlier, but somehow this one has been an office favourite for a few weeks, but always got overlooked when doing the Weekly Digest posts. Anyway, Shlohmo took Little Dragon’s track “Sunshine?” and gave it a new life. Stream/Download below, enjoy!
