Earl Sweatshirt feat. Vince Staples & Casey Veggies - Hive [Video]

And now I have yet another reason to be hype for Doris. Earl Sweatshirt has released visuals for his latest single, the Vince Staples and Casey Veggies assisted, Hive. Not only that, but Earl also confirmed the new release date and final tracklist for Doris, due August 20th. I shouldn’t have to say much more to get you excited. The video has a familiar look and feel because it was directed by Hiro Murai, who also did the video for . Check out the video for Hive and the tracklist for Doris.

Whew. Can't wait.. Shout out to Young Modele for the heads up.

You can also preorder Doris on iTunes.

Earl Sweatshirt - Chum [MP3 + Video]

New Sweatshirt. And it couldn’t be better timing. Chum reveals a different side of Earl as he's reflecting on major life events and touching on returning to music while barely taking pauses to breathe. The lyrics are complex yet simple and quite introspective. But any long-time Earl Sweatshirt/Odd Future follower can tell you those are staples of Earl’s music. The Christian Rich beat doesn't hurt, either. Take a listen. I’m actually pretty excited to hear what’s up next for Doris.

You Need This: Vince Staples - Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1

So yesterday, Modi and I were having a conversation about what music we're listening to right now. At first it took me a second because my iPhone is basically a revolving door of music but Vince Staples' most recent tape, Shyne Coldchain Vol. 1 has been getting heavy rotation pretty much all year. You need this mixtape. Just for proof, I've included my three favorites. But the entire tape is undoubtedly worth a spot on the iPhone. Download here.

Versace Rap

Taxi

SOB feat. Mike G


[Note: It's dope but don't take my word for it because that would be plain old IGNANT.]

BADBADNOTGOOD - Rotten Decay / Hard in the Paint [MP3]

I mean at this point, it's no surprise that I'm a pretty big fan of BADBADNOTGOOD. The unique mixture of jazz, hip-hop and classical music is an amazing breath of fresh air--especially coming from such a young group of musicians. The first is an original single entitled Rotten Decay that stays pretty true to the sound that's gotten them popular. The second is a cover of the timless negro classic, Hard in the Paint by sir Waka Flocka.
Enjoy both, downloads included.

Unh.

BADBADNOTGOOD - Brooklyn Zoo / Alex Swag / The World Is Yours [Video]

New tunes from the BADBADNOTGOOD gang. Dead ass, these kids get busy.
They also put out their rendition of She from Goblin a couple weeks back. Don't hit me but this has a very "Coltraney" sound to it. The dopeness.

Yo, I really need an album.

Tyler, the Creator x BADBADNOTGOOD - Fish [Video + MP3]

So first off, this is about two weeks late. Between work and being sick, mad stuff has happened since I last posted:

• LSU vs. Alabama has blown into the forefront,
• Coldplay released a new album, entitled Mylo Xyloto, and
• Tyler, the Creator finally got to perform with BADBADNOTGOOD

This is good, real good, Florida Evans.

This is the same BADBADNOTGOOD [aka Odd Trio that performed jazz renditions of some of our favorite Odd Future joints a few months back. From the video and tweets, this was Tyler's first time being involved in a trill ass jam session.

Check the video:

I would kill for an unplugged album of this.

And durred you to say something about it.

Pusha T x Tyler, the Creator - Trouble On My Mind [Video]

So, it's finally here. Pictures for Trouble On My Mind have been out for a few weeks and the video definitely lived up to the hype. Check out the video from Pusha-T and Tyler, the Creator, the most unlikely duo since....I don't know. Somebody else that nobody else thought of before it happened. Shouts to my man Jinx, DECON and the Director, Jason Goldwatch.

Yo....

...they fucked that hotel room WAYYY up.

MellowHype - BlackenedWhite Trailer

I missed a lot this past week. Vegas was dope as hell...but that's an entirely different post. Getting back into music, MellowHype will be re-releasing their album BlackenedWhite next Tuesday. To hold us over in the meantime, check out the recently-released trailer:

Looking at the tracklist, I'm just kinda blown that this version won't have Chordaroy, Hell and Loco [and 3 others] which were my favorites on the original. Oh well.

Frank Ocean - Dream Killa [MP3]

New joint from Frank Ocean. I'm pretty sure that this is just another track to keep us patient in between video releases and the actual album dropping. Not mad at that.

The Odd Trio: The Odd Future Sessions

This is insanely ill.

A trio of very talented musicians from Bad Bad Not Good has put together a collection of smooth jazz instrumentals of some Odd Future favorites. [Please excuse the use of the term "smooth jazz."] The thing is....the music is actually really good. I mean, I can enjoy the fact that it's Odd Future and also quite jazzy but I also think that my parents and co-workers would enjoy this too. I'm looking forward to what these guys put out next. Check out the first two editions with download links after the jump. I'm starting with Vol. 2 because I like it more. Sue me.

This is art.
Beautiful art.
What's next? An Odd Future x Odd Trio MTV Unplugged??
I guess we'll see.


Oh, and Nightmare was my hands-down favorite.
