Professor Green - Read All About (Feat. Emeli Sandé)

Some incredibly powerful visuals for Professor Green's lead single from his upcoming sophmore album, At Your Inconvenience. I absolutely love the track, and I'm really glad the video did it justice - have a feeling this album will be streets ahead of his debut. You can pre-order the single HERE (October 23rd) and pre-order the album HERE (October 31st).

J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story (Snippets)

Last night we got the Jay-Z collaboration from Cole's debut album; tonight we get the snippets for the whole album. September 27th is gonna be a day to remember, me thinks.

Balance & The Traveling Sound - Hey Lady

After bringing you their Dilla cover the other day, here is my favourite track from Balance & The Traveling Sound's new EP, Departure, which you download for free HERE! Their cover of Won't Do was amazing, but the fact that they are producing their own material (of this quality) excites more than anything. They have a ridiculous amount of talent and the effortless fusion of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul & Funk without a doubt makes these guys one of my favourite discoveries of 2011.

Murs - Remember 2 Forget

Official visuals for the lead single from Murs & Ski Beatz's collaborative album, Love & Rockets Vol. 1, which drops October 11th. One of the dopest MCs around + one of the dopest beat makers around = guaranteed fire.

J. Cole - Mr Nice Watch (Feat. Jay-Z)

One of the most highly anticipated tracks of the year from one of the most highly anticipated albums of the century - good job it didn't disappont then, ay? Cole is pretty much untouchable at the minute, and Jigga's verse is just crazy. September 27th, The Sideline Story.

Jedi Mind Tricks - Target Practice

Here is the first track from Jedi Mind Tricks' upcoming album, Violence Begets Violence, which is their first release since 2008. There is a lot of talk around the issue that Stoupe The Enemy Of Mankind isn't handling the production on this album, but Hypnotist Beats does his thing, and this still has that classic JMT sound. Album out October 25th - tracklist after the jump.

?uestlove - Westwood Interview

Westwood catches up with the greatest drummer of all-time for a very insightful interview, which touches on Jimmy Fallon, KanYe West, the late J Dilla and many other interesting topics. Such an inspirational man.

J. Cole - Power 99 Freestyle

Spotted over @SoulCulture, here is Cole freestyling over I'ma Boss & Otis for DJ Cosmic Kev on Power 99. Reaching for album verses, this has got me even more excited for September 27th - what a scary amount of talent and lyrical prowess on the mic.

Balance & The Traveling Sound - Won't Do (J Dilla Cover)

WOW! Here is a live performance of a stunning Dilla cover from Balance & The Traveling Sound, which is going to be on their upcoming Departure EP (out tomorrow). Always worries me when people take on one of my favourite Dilla joints, but this accumulation of Soul and Jazz, which is reminiscent of the Motown era with a raw Hip-Hop edge to it, is nothing short of mind-blowing. One of the best tributes I've ever seen to my hero and the best to ever do it. Currently on my 5th listen, and still going. More info HERE.

The Airplane Boys - Ice Age

Some very sick and powerful visuals for one of my favourite cuts from The Airplane Boys' mixtape, Where You've Been. Rare to hear a track with a political message done so well. Download the Toronto-based rappers' mixtape HERE.
