Hypetrak's Weekly Set: Volume 12

Welcome to the latest edition of Hypetrak’s Weekly Set-Series. As usual, you will find the ten most listened tracks of the past seven days below. Last week brought forth some stellar releases that have received a warm welcome by our dear readership. On this week’s top resides the Drake-blessed remix of Alicia Keys hit record “Un-Thinkable”. This rework sounds so good that it leaves one hoping for more future collaborations between both artists. Pete Rock’s banging remix of “Here To Fall” by New Jersey’s Yo La Tengo also hit a nerve among our readers who did not hesitate to press the play-button. One of the most respected Hip Hop collectives of all times, Philadelphia’s legendary Roots-crew, finally presented their new single “Dear God 2.0” off their upcoming ninth studio album How I Got Over. The track boasts everything what one might expect from a Roots-joint – Black Thought’s thought-provoking lyrics backed by a superb instrumental. Drake reminded folks of his undeniable lyrical talent with his “9AM in Dallas”-freestyle, thus keeping Hip Hop-hopes alive for a dope album to drop on June 15th. Talib Kweli took some time to discuss the controversial immigration situation in Arizona over a decent Krumbsnatcha-beat. Further songs that made you listen were provided by Travis McCoy, new R&B-sensation Bruno Mars, production duo Beatnick & K-Salaam’s interesting edit of Nirvana’s timeless “Smells Like Teen Spirit”. In addition, Uproot Andy and Don Diablo reinterpreted songs by Los Rakas and the Gorillaz for the upcoming summer season. Here’s the audible recap.
