Nameless – Angelina
I don’t know if you know this, but pleaseeee, you should be dancing with me, you got it alll, ANGELINA!
I’m sorry for that outburst. I don’t know what’s gotten into me. This song has literally taken over my life. I’m singing it everywhere I go, including public places. It’s embarrassing, but I can’t stop! And I’m a terrible singer. Nameless (consisting of four Parisian dudes) is bad news for everyone with functioning eardrums, and I mean that in the best way possible! It’s because their song is so ridiculously catchy that I have to sing-a-long with it whenever I hear it. I’m spiraling. Seriously. I’m just going to stop now.
Pleaseeee, you should be dancing with me, you got it alll, ANGELINA!

Reptar – Sebastian
It’s no secret that Reptar is one of Sunset’s favorite bands. They released one of our favorite EPs last year with Oblangle Fizz Y’all and are now looking to steal 2012 with their debut album Body Faucet. ”Sebastian” is the album’s first single, and it features everything we love about Reptar: their quirkiness, their constant irreverence, and their innate pop sensibility. Also, they have the coolest band website ever created. Listen/download “Sebastian,” and check out the tracklist of Body Faucet below.

Timeflies – Alcohol
How many people do you know that can successfully walk around a bar and start freestyling about everything they see and have it make sense? Keep in mind, they’re doing all of these videos on tour now, so it’s harder for them, but mad props.
Timeflies makes Tuesdays.
J.Cole – Grew Up Fast
YES! Gotta love some new J.Cole.
As a result of acquiring 2 million followers on his Twitter, Cole cut loose a little present for his fans. This one’s titled “Grew Up Fast” and serves as a reminder that Cole is no longer “Blowing Up,” but rather he’s already there and has no plans of stopping.
Grew Up Fast. For yallll. Much Love
Chiddy Bang Drops Debut Album Breakfast
Oh shit. It didn’t seem like too long ago when Chiddy Bang was still the blogs’ best kept secret. You know, back when they were just Pretty Much Amazing. Fast forward to today–after up and leaving college and dropping a few mixtapes–and they have finally released their debut album, Breakfast. Honestly, there isn’t much else to be said. Go cop that on iTunes. Now. Alright, fine. Peep a couple tracks below, including my Xaphoon’s personal fav.
I HOPE YOU LIKE TRACK 8 THAT IS MY SHIT

BONUS: This jam isn’t on the album but the homeboys made a video for us anyway. Dope!
G-Eazy – Marilyn (ft. Dominique LeJeune)
Smooth new song from Sunset-favorite, G-Eazy. This just sounds really natural…G rhymes perfectly to the beat. G is really starting to sound like something for young rappers to look up to. He has a unique sound, he’s making a niche market for himself that is separate from a lot of other young, white rappers, and his flow is really easy on the ears. With a beat like this one, I could listen to this song on repeat all day. Really a beautiful sound.
Here’s what G-Eazy had to say about the song:
Check out my new single ‘Marilyn’ featuring New Orleans’ indie songstress Dominique LeJeune. After seeing her play at a small DIY backyard concert, I tracked her down and brought her to my studio. She’s got such an amazing, unique voice, so I was stoked to see what we could put together. The outcome was an extremely personal song about the highs and lows of an intense relationship.
Life is too short trying to hold it all together/ It’s gone before you know it, but tonight could last forever

B.o.B – So Good
B.o.B is a champ when it comes to mixtapes. I also like his albums too. His albums tend to appeal more to a commercial audience, but the fact that he can kill a verse, and take over the radio waves shows how versatile this guy truly is, however, I prefer mixtape B.o.B > industry B.o.B.
Here is the second single from Strange Clouds dropping in May called So Good. This is a track to cruise to in the summer.
[Video] Hodgy, Domo Genesis And Tyler, The Creator- Rella
So it’s safe to say Tyler and the guys from Odd Future are pretty damn stoked about this video–Tyler’s been mentioning for days that it’s amazing, and leading into it today he said that it’s the best work he’s ever done. So, when Kanye West tweets your “Yonkers” video saying it’s the best video of 2011 and you go and say “Fuck that video, this is the best shit I’ve ever done” ya know, sets some pretty damn high expectations.
So yeah, big expectations. And then to say that your video ought to get you to the level of Spike Jonze? Hmm. This must be good right? (PS, too many tweet screenshots…doing it anyway. Fuck it.)
So this one’s going to be big. Still haven’t actually watched it yet…we’ll get to that later in the post. But anyways, to preface the video for those of you unaware, this is the first music we will hear from Odd Future’s upcoming OF Tape Vol. 2, a collaborative effort from the rap collective. We’ve seen pictures of Tyler with Pharrell, Kanye, etc. so it should be pretty crazy to see what they release as the first single. Also, the possibility of hearing new, polished music from Earl Sweatshirt (not that shitty “Home” he released the other day…sorry Thebe, that just doesn’t cut it for me) is really exciting to me. Oooohhhh the possiblities.
I’m going to watch the video now! Yippee.
Oh, wow. This is absurd and extraordinary, in a way only Odd Future can ever be. Absurd as in Tyler is a centaur and extraordinary as in “goddamn that production is unbelievable and Hodgy, Domo and Tyler, the Centaur just killed that.”
In terms of this being the first single, I couldn’t be more excited to hear what I’m hearing and see what I’m seeing. Odd Future has progressed, certainly, but they have not changed what makes them them. They are still Odd, and their music is still the future of hip hop.
Ludicrous video–shouts to Luis Perez on the camera and Tara Razavi with the production, and of course the glorious Wolf Haley with the direction.
Question–how do they cast people for roles like this? Like “your daughters got the role! They’re going to play Hanky Panky and then Hodgy is going to ejaculate a lazer on her and turn her into a cat! It will be great and really advance their careers, I promise!”
I’m not sure this touches Yonkers, but I love this. Can’t wait for the album to drop.
Money in my pockets like I’m 45, Hodgy Beats recording live
March 20!

[Video] Diplo & Don Diablo – Make You Pop (Reprise)
Thomas Wesley Pintz, better known by his stage name Diplo (I prefer just to call him Big Thom but I think I might be alone in that), has released the video to his collaboration with Don Diablo, “Make You Pop.”
They throw down, as usual, but one question….does anybody know what’s going on here? Seriously though–what on earth is going on in this? I have no idea.

[Remix] Chris Brown ft. Rihanna – Turn Up The Music
Yup! You read that right…Rihanna & Chris Brown have made a song together!
Rihanna hops on Chris Brown’s club banger “Turn Up The Music” and adds her touch to it. I’m curious to see how the public will react to this one…
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!! from Mechanical Dummy on Vimeo.
[Video] YONAS – Fall Back
I’m going to state three things because the latest episode of Shameless is waiting for me to watch it.
1. I always have YONAS in heavy rotation 24/7 on my computer.
2. Don’t sleep on this guy.
3. Below is the video for Fall Back which was off of his AMAZING EP “The Proven Theory.”
KiD CuDi – Dose of Dopeness
Okay, to some, this may seem like a brand new song, and technically it is to us at least, but CuDi has been performing this song since back in 2008 (did my research) and it finally saw the light of day with the help of his PIC (partner in crime), Dot Da Genius. I’m not quite sure where this will land, maybe a new rap mixtape, or if it’s just a lil gift from the pair in preparation for WZRD, but who knows. Most people will like this because this was made back in the day before MOTM, MOTM2, and WZRD. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
WZRD – February 28th.
