track: Big Boi feat. Big K.R.I.T. + UGK - Gossip

Big Boi is still at it. Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors sounds like it will be as great as Sir Lucious Left Foot.

video: Maybach Music Group feat. Kendrick Lamar - Power Circle

I love a good triumphant rap track. Here's a 9-minute posse cut from Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group's new compilation album.

video: Aesop Rock - ZZZ Top

It's hard to tell if the song is any good, but the video sure is entertaining.

video/track: Lana Del Rey + A$AP Rocky - National Anthem + My Bitch

There's a lot of hate for LDR's lips out there, and their seeming inability to distinguish between Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe, but I like hearing them on rap tracks. I'm not usually one for female pop star hooks in rap, but I don't mind these songs at all. Hear another one here, where A$AP Rocky actually raps.

track: Thee Oh Sees - Lupine Dominus

September is going to be an incredible month for me music-wise, with most of my favorite bands putting out new records around then: Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, A$AP Rocky, and of course Thee Oh Sees.

video: King Khan & the Shrines - Bite My Tongue

King Khan is back with this excellent new song and video. Yay!

album stream: YAWN - Happy Tears

Check this EP (and their other stuff) out if you dig electronic pop in the vein of Starfucker or Animal Collective.

track: Chelsea Light Moving - Burroughs

It's still not clear if Sonic Youth has broken up after Thurston and Kim's divorce, but now Thurston has another band named Chelsea Light Moving. They sound like Sonic Youth.

Hear a new song here.

track: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - I'll Come Back 4 U

Adult Swim's 3rd annual Single Series is back, and the lead-off track is from Unknown Mortal Orchestra. The dudes over at [as] have the best taste. They'll be coming with 12 tracks over the next 12 weeks. Check it, download it.

album stream: Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouse is now streaming over at Spin. Buy it at In The Red. More info here.

video: Killer Mike feat. Bun B, T.I. - Big Beast

There's entrails, nudity, car chases, all kinds of good stuff in here. Get on this album now.

video: Beach House - Lazuli

track: Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Baby

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti are set to release their new album, Mature Themes, August 21st on 4AD. The first single, "Baby", is a soul cover of Donnie and Joe Emerson's "Baby," and also features guest vocals from Dâm-Funk, who is opening some tour dates. Ariel has said that Mature Themes will be similar to Before Today sonically, but more diverse.

track: Grizzly Bear - Sleeping Ute

Grizzly Bear released a new track yesterday. You probably didn't hear about it. The album's out on Warp on September 18th. There's a tracklist and tour schedule here, but no album title yet. I'll bet your favorite rappers and comedians are excited.

album stream: SpaceGhostPurrp - Mysterious Phonk

SpaceGhostPurrp has made a name for himself doing throwback dark early 90s rap in the vein of Three 6 Mafia on amateurish yet captivating tapes like Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6 (1991) and the GXX XX BXXXK EP. Now, inexplicably, he's releasing his debut LP, a collection of (slightly) cleaned up older tracks, on 4AD. Stream it above.

free album: Clams Casino - Instrumental Mixtape 2

The best producer in the game right now is back with a second collection of beats. There's a lot of A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd, Lil B, Washed Out, Mac Miller, Lana Del Rey, and more. You're gonna want to get this.

track: Ab-Soul - Mixed Emotions

Good ol' lean-sippin' music. This track is slaying me right now. Can't get enough of it.
