2 Chainz ft Kanye West

Birthday Song

Funkystepz's “Miami Bass Edit” is the version to listen to; moving the track from generic, monochrome hip-hop to a technicolor celebration of eccentricity.

Toro Y Moi

So Many Details

A departure for Chaz Bundick as he moves from stoner funk into soft seduction. Recalls Serge Gainsbourg.

The Coup ft Das Racist and Killer Mike

WAVIP

A funky but politically-charged promo track from the group's forthcoming “Sorry to Bother You” LP.

Wu-Tang Clan and Kool G Rap

Rivers of Blood

Yet another excellent cut from the soundtrack of the Quentin Tarantino-produced film “The Man With the Iron Fists”.

Holy Ghost!

It Gets Dark

Downbeat and moody, this song builds from minimalism to an expansive soundscape without compromising its menace.
