Hypetrak's Weekly Set - Volume 16

Like every beginning of a new week, we present you the ten most listened audio-posts on Hypetrak in the last seven days. Last week saw the appearance of a track that many music fans worldwide have been waiting on for more than ten years – Dr. Dre served a first audible taste off his much anticipated Detox-album. Entitled, “Under Pressure” the cut is the eventual collaboration between the Doc and Jay-Z that has been announced weeks prior to its release. Surprisingly the song is slightly different than most have expected, causing numerous fans to dismiss the record. Dr. Dre himself tuned in and told the world, that the featured song is an unfinished version of the record. Until we receive the finished, mastered version listen to “Under Pressure” Part 1 below.
KiD CuDi also reemerged on the scene with the first single “REVOFEV” off his forthcoming opus Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager. The song’s title refers to the initial title for the album Revolution Of Evolution and shows that Cudder’s career is no case of one hit wonder. Before B.o.B. and Bruno Mars conquered the charts with “Nothin’ On You” Lupe Fiasco recorded a slightly different version of the song. It comes as no surprise that Lupe’s version has received a warm welcome among readers. Although it won’t appear on Laser, it whets the appetite for the Chicago MC’s new album. Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. Game released an audio gift for Kobe and company. Our readers seem to approve. From freestyle to single, Drake’s “9AM In Dallas” has convinced fans and critics alike and made it to the bonus tracklist of one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
Further notable contributions were delivered by promising crooner Bruno Mars and the legendary Roots crew, whose new album How I Got Over will be released this week. We also saw a Major Lazer-laced remix for Reggae-artist Gyptian as well as Jeezy who gave us his summer anthem. Enjoy below.
