Curren$y - You See It

New joint from one of the most prolific rapper's in the game right now. The New Orleans Hot Spitta does not stop putting out music. More of the same old same old, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Look out for his fourth studio album in two years, Weekend at Burnie's (preceded by Covert Coup and Pilot Talk I & II), dropping June 28 via Warner Brothers.

DISCOVER: Kraak & Smaak - Call Up To Heaven (Feat. Lex Empress)

This little monster from production team Kraak & Smaak snuck past my radar, but I'm glad I finally found it. "Call Up To Heaven" is a funky little electro ditty featuring the soulful, jazzy vocal stylings of Lex Empress. It's got a bit of a Bond-theme vibe going on and I dig it.



If you haven't heard any Kraak & Smaak before, check out the inventive video for "Squeeze Me" from a while back below.

DISCOVER: The Postelles

The Postelles is a four-piece rock group from NYC, with a sound akin to "Is This It" era The Strokes and good-old sixties rock. Their fun and energetic tunes are sure to keep your spirits up as you beat the summer heat.

The Postelles' self-titled LP is out now on itunes, Amazon and vinyl. Go to www.thepostelles.com for all the links, and sample 123 Stop below.

STREAM: Beirut - East Harlem

Some great, waltzing new Beirut for a lazy summer drift. The only new material from Beirut since 2009's March of the Zapotec EP. Zach Condon's full but soft vocals meld perfectly into the sounds of the backing instruments - complete with strings, horns, and drums.

Stream below and buy it on vinyl along with B-side "Goshen" here from Pompeii Records. mp3s are available starting June 14th.

VIDEO: Kimbra - Cameo Lover

Eclectic New Zealand songstress Kimbra releases the visual treatment for her latest single.

Kiwi soul/pop/jazz singer/songwriter Kimbra Johnson follows up her sensational first single, "Settle Down" with an upbeat, summer-ready pop tune. "Cameo Lover" the versatility of Kimbra's vocals which have been compared to the likes of Nina Simone and Ellla Fitzgerald. The verse seduces with a bubblegum kick drum and a sultry bassline matched with some shimmering xylophone dings before giving way to the chorus, which features a big sound. The track bursts into a polka dot pop explosion at the 2:20 mark. The video is similarly colorful and cheery to complement the song's optimistic message.

STREAM: Shake Aletti - Dancefloor (Russ Chimes' Dark Disco Remix)

Apparently this slipped under my radar for about a month now. Russ Chimes is one of my favorite producers. Hailing from the UK, Russ Chimes arranges some of the cleanest electro pieces that I've ever heard, with less of the hard hitting dirt and grime that's prolific in the world of electro and dubstep today.
