Posted in order of awesomeness:
drop.io: simple private sharing
- Una Dia Otra Noche by Allá off of Es Tiempo. Simple answer: it fills me with joy.
- Squeeze Me (feat. Ben Westbeech) by Kraak & Smaak off of Plastic People. Funky as can be. This was free from RCRD LBL.
- Everyone Nose (All the Girls Standing in the Line for the Bathroom) by N*E*R*D off of Seeing Sounds. This has a chance to be the official song of the Summer. So hot.
- Lollipop (Remix f. Kanye West) by Lil' Wayne off of Tha Carter III. Even though Weezy's track is a bit weak to me (although the latex/late text rhyme gets me every time), this is all about 'Ye and his growing lyricism and his grand understanding of how to use auto-tune for the right effect. That and the line "Man the flow so cold chicken soup won't help" is the illest boast I've heard in a while.
- Sow into You by Róisín Murphy off of Feminissima. I'm struggling to find any information about this album but it's 8 bucks on amazon for 20 tracks. That's bang for your buck and if this track is any indication the rest of this joint should be fire.
- Love In This Club (MSTRKRFT Remix) by Usher. The original is on Here I Stand. I hated this track when I first heard him perform it on Saturday Night Live. This remix, however, makes it all better.
- We Need Barack (Feat. Mavado & Barack Obama) by DJ Green Lantern off of Yes We Can. Has this mixtape come out yet? I can't find it anywhere. Anyway, I've been enamored with how Obama has inspired artists of all stripes. Even Mixtape Kings.
