Consequence’s song “Whatever U Want” is remixed by the G.O.O.D. Music team (or a large chunk of it, anyway). On the remix: Kanye West, Common, John Legend, Kid Cudi, and Big Sean.

“Humdrum Town” - Theophilus London

Today marks the release of the full track, “Humdrum Town,” by Theophilus London. A preview of this track was on This Charming Mixtape, but here is the whole thing. I couldn’t have been more excited to get this whole track. Theophilus is going over “NASA” by Futurecop! in this song.
As seen in lyrics of the day in the past:
I ain’t doing this for the check or fame, This right here to relieve my pain, Revival of ears that hear the same
MUSIC VIDEO: “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman” - K-Os ft. Saukrates
One of my favorite K-Os songs comes out with a video! And I love it! I think I had a smile on my face the whole time…the Western style got me laughing and I found myself thinking the whole time, man these guys just look like fun. Oh and I love the gas pump in the rear part of the car. Classic. K-Os may wish he knew Natalie Portman, but I wish I knew him!
New K-Os Album, Yes!, in stores as of yesterday!
I’ve seen this place before but it’s never been so fun
First 10 minutes of documentary about Lil Wayne called “The Carter.”
Once again, I need to see this. Current thought: Half the time, Weezy’s manager seems about as cracked out as he is.
MUSIC VIDEO: “No Man’s Land” - Bobby Ray
Good video to a song that was already sunset approved.
I try to hold on, on to everything, sweet memories, but that was yesterday

I’m on the pursuit of happiness and I know everything that shines aint always gonna be gold. I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good. - Kid Cudi, “Pursuit of Happiness”
Not to give yall too much insight into my soul, but these were some words it felt great to hear today. Thanks, Cud.
“Dedicated” - Rakim

Oh dear Lord…homeboy samples No Doubt in this one. How could I resist posting this? My sister Emma and I (major credit to my sister, actually…she would definitely win this fight) were major No Doubt fans! In other news, Rakim’s new album, The Seventh Seal, comes out today!

The second single from Vampire Weekend off their upcoming album “Contra.” This one’s called “Cousins.” I must admit, I don’t like it as much as I like “Horchata,” but I can still dig it. It’s a lot faster and sounds more along the lines of their song “A-Punk” off their last album.
“Einstein on the Beach” - Counting Crows

Today is just one of those days. It’s a beautiful sunny day here and I could rock out to this song all day long whether I’m inside or in my car with my windows down. It just makes me want to smile.
MTV - Diary of N.E.R.D
Pharrell being a funny guy. Love those sexy cheekbones, not gonna lie!
“I See You” - Mika

After this was played on Gossip Girl last week, I got some requests for it to be posted on sunset. Here yall go. Mika shows off his high-pitched voice over some beautiful piano playing.
And I’m dreaming, I’m trippin’ over you
“Cooler Than Me” (Hey Champ Remix) - Mike Posner
I’m not a huge remix person, to be honest. But I love Hey Champ and I love Mike Posner. Sooo…ipso facto..therefore…ya, I’m posting this. One thing I do like about Hey Champ remixes is they make their own song out of an old song rather than just speeding it up a little and calling it their own. This isn’t my favorite remix, to be honest, but I’m sure some of you will be digging it.
“Center of Attention (Bonus Track)” - Wale
I’m assuming a lot of yall went and bought/copped Wale’s album that just came out (Attention Deficit). Depending on your means of “purchase,” you may or may not have gotten this bonus track by Wale. Must say, this is one of the better beats I’ve heard Wale rap over in a while. And the subject/content seems similar to what Mike Posner and Big Sean sing/rap about in “Speed of Sound.” Fame isn’t as gold-coated as it seems.
Shout out again to dj heavy e.

“The Screens” - Atlas Sound

If you really want to mellow out, check this song out. Bonus: it comes as a free 7” download with the other song being a cover (“Doctor” - The Five Discs cover). The soft hand drumming and the harmonica on “The Screens” are extremely soothing. “Doctor,” on the other hand (/side, ha) is upbeat and very oldies sounding.
