Hypetrak's Weekly Set - Volume 55

Summertime is officially in full effect. With the temperature steadily rising within the Northern Hemisphere, recording artists took notice and delivered some sun-drenched tunes for your audio pleasure. Need proof? Just check this week’s Weekly Set. The Cool Kids swimsuit up along with soulful crooner Mayer Hawthorne, and so do Common and No I.D. who avoid going crazy off the heat. Internet sensation Kreayshawn has some friendly words for female gold diggers whereas Mac Miller and Talib Kweli bethink themselves to their core values. In addition, a previously unreleased track hints at the fact that Cudder has been fighting bipolarity for a while.

Furthermore, Washed Out offered a new tune, The Weeknd took on Drizzy’s “Trust Issues,” Smoke DZA and Domo Genesis joined forces, Tate La Rock and Troublemaker remixed The Weeknd’s “Rolling Stone,” and Gold Panda treated his followers with an all-new tune.

Notable music videos during the past seven days include Theophilus’s “Last Name London,” Pac Div’s song, Skrillex’s “Rock N Roll,” Estelle and Rick Ross breaking hearts, Curren$y’s “She Don’t Want a Man,” Young the Giant’s “Cough Syrup,” Rozay and Weezy’s “9 Piece,” The Kills’ “The Future Starts Slow,” SBTRKT’s outstanding collaboration with Little Dragon entitled “Wildfire,” and last but not least Eminem and Sasha Grey being “Space Bound.”
