Death Cab for Cutie - "Some Boys"

Death Cab's next LP, Codes and Keys, is due out May 31 and I'm pretty fucking excited.  I've been digging all the tracks I've heard from it thus far, so I'm glad I can give you guys this one.  It's called "Some Boys" and yeah, it's pretty solid.  Did I mention I can't fucking wait for this album?  Enjoy.

The National - "Exile Vilify"

Here's a new track the National penned for the video game Portal 2's soundtrack entitled, "Exile Vilify".    It's got pianos, string arrangements, and Mr. Berringer's poetry just like the National loves to employ but it's still a solid track.  Check it out.

U2 (Feat. Jay-Z) - "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (Live)

This track is epic, and Jay's verse on this is real, props for the Bob Marley quote. It's just the live version for now, hopefully we get a mastered studio version sometime after U2's U2: Duals drops. Apparently you have to subscribe to U2's fan club to get the LP and it's going to be limited edition. I'd rather not though, hopefully they put out a physical copy and release it on iTunes as well, it's going to make its way out there any way. There are other ways to get with the internet generation. Props to Miss Info & The Hip Hop Update.

Young Chris - ThisIs50 Interview

After dropping The Re-introduction, linking up with Rico Love and Division 1, and dropping a new single, "Assets", it's safe to say Young Chris has been putting in work over the past months and he did it without taking shots at his old label and it's cool to see him doing his thing. In this interview he sits down with Young Jack Thriller from ThisIs50 and talks about his upcoming album, what's next for the Young Gunnaz, and more.

Prodigy - 'The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson Story' (EP)

It's out, Prodigy shouldn't disappoint with this project. Props to Complex.

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - "Two Against One"

Recently, Danger Mouse teamed up with the Italian composer Daniele Luppi to create a spaghetti-Western tinged album entitled, Rome, which is set to be released on May 16 in the UK and on May 17 in the US.  I'm not sure how many tracks are planned to be on the album entirely, but I do know that Jack White and Norah Jones each sing three a piece, and the track below, "Two Against One", features vocals from the former.  Take a listen and enjoy.

Listen to James Pants New Self-Titled LP

Streaming right now over at 3VOOR12 is this new record from singer/songwriter James Pants--James Pants.  It's a hearty blend of pop and psychedelic instrumentation that certainly needs to be heard to be properly understood.  The melodies soar and the guitars are heavy--if either of these things appeal to you, go ahead and hit the link below to listen to the album.  Enjoy.

Adele - "Someone Like You (Messed Remix)"

Honestly, I really kind of like pretty much everything Adele sings on.  She oozes a ton of soul that I'll simply never have.  Another confession--I'm not generally a huge dubstep fan; it just tends to get a little repetitive (in my opinion).  But, this blend of soul and dub really meshes well.  It's truly two different styles juxtaposed together but here, it really works.  Check out this mix.  (Thanks to In Audio We Trust)

Watch Kanye's Entire Coachella 2011 Set

Ok, this is kind of interesting.  Here is Kanye West's entire set from the recent Coachella Music Festival.  Kanye's recent set has gotten a lot of acclaim and deservedly so--he pretty much kills it, seriously.  He really went light on 'celebrity' appearances from other artists and that may be seen as pretty risky behavior, but the chance he takes here really pays off in spades.  Check out his performance.

Take Away Show - Alex Winston

Here's yet another installment of La Blogotheque's Take Away Show series and this time the artist featured is Alex Winston.  Ms. Winston is an American multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter hailing from the Motor City, Detroit, MI.  These performances have a certain pop vibe to them coupled with some great vocal harmonies and as always, the filming is superb.  Enjoy.  PS, I'm pretty sure I found my new crush--real talk.

Prodigy - 'The Ellsworth Bumpy Johnson Story' (EP Artwork)

Complex let this artwork as well as the tracklist go earlier.  It's the first project from P since he's been home--7 tracks deep and features production from Alchemist, King Benny, and Sid Roams. Havoc, the other half of Mobb Deep, is the only guest feature on the project. I know Prodigy's hungry after that stint, so this project should be dope. It's dropping tomorrow, hit up Complex for the full tracklisting.

Pusha T - "My God" (Video)

Visuals for Pusha's street single off of Fear of God. The vid features the beautiful Dollicia Bryan and a ton of religious clips. There's an EP, Fear of God 2: Let Us Pray, dropping in June as well.  Pusha, mentioned on twitter that there would a few surprises on it.
definitely looking forward to the project.

Wiz Khalifa (feat. Chevy Woods) – "Can’t Fuck Wit It" (Unreleased) (Prod E. Dan)

Rugz D. Bewler - Generation Next Performance at SouthPaw

Rugz D. Bewler - Renaissance - South Paw - Brooklyn from Brook Bobbins on Vimeo.

Rugz just shared this link via DJ Envy on twitter. If you don't know he's appeared on Ski Beatz', 24 Hour Karate School with the track "Super Bad", and is 3 projects deep right now with Bewler's Day Off, Save Bewler, and a Valentine's Day-themed EP, All I Need is 20.  Here's Harlem's own performing "Renaissance" off of Save Bewler. I dig Rugz music and the fact that he brings a different sound to Harlem, it's not just Dip Set any more. Be on the look out for more music from homie. Hopefully we get a video for "Window Wavin" with Spitta. Props to Rugz & Dj Enuff

Music-RX Interview w/ C of C Radio

Recently, we at the Music-RX (that is Alex and myself) were lucky enough to have the opportunity to spread the word on exactly what we're doing here at the Music-RX.  Thanks to our wonderful and lovely friend/DJ Gwyn LoCascio (aka Gwyneth McBallerstein) of C of C Radio we were able to grace the radio waves briefly and preach the gospel, if you will, of what we're doing right now with the site, what our future plans for the Music-RX are, and really just to promote, promote, promote.  If you're interested in learning a little more about us and the Music-RX, listen to the interview below.  Enjoy (and thanks again Gwyn).

MED (feat. Blu) - "This is Your Life" (Produced by Exile)

This is my first time hearing of MED, but I've known of Blu. He's one of those dope MC's from the westcoast that doesn't get his just due. Exile produced the track so it knocks of course. Check out MED's, Bang Ya Head 3 dropping independently through Fat Beats on the 26th and checkout Blu & Exile's, Below the Heavens, if you're feeling the two. Props to NahRight

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - "How Can U Love Me?"

Here's a kind of cool, funky track from Unknown Mortal Orchestra called, "How Can U Love Me?"  It's got an old school, upbeat R&B flow.  Check it out.  (Thanks to In Audio We Trust)
