Almost December...

Friday Night Lights - J. Cole -- New mixtape from Jermaine, and it's unreal. This guy's awesome. My favorite song is probably "You Got It (feat. Wale)," but download the whole cd, it's really worth it.

Download - Friday Night Lights (Mixtape)

Zodiak Name - Shake the Baron -- These guys have a Vampire Weekend feel to them, and if you know me you know I'm a huge Vampire Weekend feel. They sound a little bit more mellow than VW, but still really good indie rock. Check it out

Download - Zodiak Name (Right Click and go to "Save as")

Take Me Away - Fortune Family -- Great sample, great lyrics. The chorus is real catchy, and anytime a rapper makes a Kevin Youkilis, Kenny Powers, and Antoine Dodson reference in one verse it gets my ear.

Download - Take me Away

Rock City - The Best of Rock City -- These guys are from the Virgin Islands, and they combine island music and attitude with hip-hop - it really works for me. I really like the whole cd, my favorite might be "Take Her Home" but I'm not sure, it's all really good. If you like it download one or two of the cd's.

Y No Regresas - Juanes (Youtube) -- Juanes has a new album coming out December 7th, though I'm sure all of you already knew that / pre-ordered the cd...right? If you haven't been keeping up with the Columbian music scene, check out Juanes' new single, it's fantastic.

Download - Y No Regresas

Africa - Karl Wolf (Youtube) -- This song samples Toto's "Africa," and it's awesome. Not new at all, but still fantastic; if you don't have it yet definitely download it.

CUDDER

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon, Vol. II: The legend of Mr. Rager

RAGE!!!!!

Genre blending

Get What You Give - Rich Kid Sound System -- This is a fantastic song that sounds like an indie rock hit combined with some good rap. Really, really good, definitely download.

Download - Get What You Give

A Little Bit Of Time - Rich Kid Sound System -- Just like their other song, this one has a great hook and some great rap. RKSS only has these two songs up to now, but I can't wait for more.

Download - A Little Bit Of Time

J. Cole - I'm Coming Home (youtube) -- Gotta love J. Cole. This is the first leak off his upcoming "Friday Night Lights" mixtape, and if it says anything for the mixtape as a whole it's gonna be awesome.

Download - I'm Coming Home

Tayyib Ali - Eighteen (mixtape) -- Great mixtape, and he's only 18 years old. Pretty impressive stuff. My favorite song off of it is probably this, but all of the songs are pretty good.

Download - Eighteen (mixtape)

Too Fake (feat. Chiddy Bang) - Big Sean (youtube) -- Anything with Chiddy is usually going to be good, but this is awesome. Big Sean does a great job. Off of Big Sean's mixtape from a month or so ago.

Download - Too Fake

Ice Cold - That Kid C-G (no youtube) - Nothing too fancy, but a chorus that will get stuck in your head backed up by some good rap.

Download - Ice Cold (right click and go to "save as")

Dark Fantasy - Kanye West (youtube) -- Kind of a weird song, but what do you expect from this guy. Still, I kind of like it...

Download - Dark Fantasy

Random:

I Think Ur A Contra - Vampire Weekend -- Definitely my favorite band, and this is just an unbelievably beautiful song. No rap, so don't expect any, but if you're looking for good music and haven't heard much of Vampire Weekend you're missing out.

Download - I Think Ur A Contra

Peace.
