Jay-Z & KanYe West - No Church In The Wild (Feat. Frank Ocean) (Official Video)

KanYe & Jay-Z are renowned for having special videos to accompany their singles, and this new one for their collaborative Frank Ocean-featuring single is no exception. The video is directed by Romain Gavras (the man behind MIA's 'Bad Girls'), and you can have your own thoughts on the video, but I think you'd struggle to deny that this was heavily influenced by the London riots last year. Top class.

Big Boi - She Said OK (Feat. Theophilus London & Tre Luce)

After announcing a few days ago that a second studio album was on the way, we now have a track that looks like it could well be a leak from Big Boi's sophmore release. While Andre is away filming the Jimi Hendrix film, it seems as though new OutKast material is something that isn't on the horizon, so this will do have to do, for now. Cool track.

Joey Bada$$ - Hardknock (Feat. CJ Fly) (Video)

Yesterday, 17 year old Brooklyn based rapper Joey Bada$$ gave fans another taster of his upcoming LP '1999', which is due to drop June 12th, by unleashing new track 'Hardknock' complete with visuals. The track's beat sampled from Lewis Parker's 'Eyes of Dreams', it provides a laid back instrumental for Joey to go in over as we witness him once again prove just how talented he truly is. While he may not go in quite as hard here as he did in 'Survival Tactics', the track that made him a viral success, Joey none the less manages to an engender an old school Hip-Hop feel that is rarely felt these days and confirms all suspicions that he's a very special talent. Watch out for this kid, something tells me he's only going to get better.

Big K.R.I.T. - Porchlight (Feat. Anthony Hamilton)

Set to be released June 5th, 'Porchlight' is one of my favourite tracks from Big K.R.I.T.'s highly anticipated debut album 'Live From The Underground'. The track features the spine-tingling vocals of Anthony Hamilton and sees K.R.I.T. at his storytelling best, which is a prominent factor throughout the album. If you love Hip-Hop, then you'll cop this when it drops.

Junclassic & Wunderkind - Summertime (Feat Mr. Beazt)

Now this right here, this is exciting. Released today on his Bandcamp, 'Summertime' is one of my favourite tracks from NYC rapper Junclassic's new collaborative album with German producer Wunderkind. The track features the relatively unknown Mr. Beazt on the hook/chorus, and is one of the best Hip-Hop tracks of the year so far, from one of (if not THE) best Hip-Hop albums of the year. And you know what the best thing about it is? It's free. I'd happily pay to have this album on vinyl. Get your copy HERE.
