First class deserves the top spot. This is the case with Wale’s collaboration with Big Sean and B.o.B and the latest installment of our Weekly Set series. As this lineup already indicates, all three emcees are on fire over this crazy Raz Fresco beat. Chicago’s Sound Remedy came correct with his modern rendition of Ludwig van Beethoven’s timeless “Moonlight Sonata,” whereas the Hood Internet mashed up the talents of Ellie Goulding, Kanye West and the Portland Cello project. Last week further saw Swizzy going “Bonkers” and the reemergence of Yung Joc who used Rick Ross’s trademark “Ugh/Huh” uttering and created a song out of it.
Further highlights encompass Curren$y’s “Run Dat Sh*t,” a new track by DOOM and Ghostface’s brainchild DOOMSTARKS, a Hercules & Love Affair remix of Chromeo’s new single, Weezy’s cover of Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep,” and Big Shug and DJ Premier’s Guru tribute track. Last but certainly least, Wale’s J. Cole-powered “Bad Girls Club” has caused a major ruckus on the blogosphere. In addition, major rock icons Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blink-182 celebrated their respective much-anticipated comebacks to the music scene. Listen to the Chili’s new song here and Blink’s tune here.
Regarding music videos we saw excellent by submissions by Grimes, Rimer London, Theophilus London, Asher Roth, Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun, Cults, Atmosphere, Teddybears, Tom Vek and How to Dress Well. Now enjoy in the audio recap below!
