Drake – How About Now

drake3

The latest exercise in Drake’s relationship rap hit the internet over the weekend. The Jodeci-sampling (and possibly unauthorized leak) “How About Now” is a strong version of a familiar Drake trope of love lost/gone bad. Views From The Six is Drake’s upcoming fourth studio LP.

Young and Sick – Ghost of a Chance (RAC Remix)

youngandsick2

It’s Pretty easy for labels now a days to decide who should lead off a remix album/EP, especially when your decision includes in its calculus, the king of hype machine, RAC. On the remix, RAC paints another beautiful masterpiece around an already lovely electronic pop piece by NY-based Young & Sick. “Ghost of a Chance” evokes a sense of cool and strut that would assuredly leave the queens and kings of disco smiling and finishes with a bass line that is one of the smoothest around.

Soft Touch – Get On Up (Feat. Kianah)

softtouch

Soft Touch is the BK duo of Stones Throw artist Chrome Canyon and ex-VHS or Beta Feel Saarid. The funky “Get On Up” takes cues from a varied melange of rhythm music including disco, R&B, and Nu Shooz (I Can’t Wait). If that sounds up your street (it’s most definitely up ours) and then you’ll want to give “Get On Up” your attention below.

RITUAL – Visions

ritual

“Visions” is the sophomore track from UK R&B buzz act RITUAL. On “Visions” a deep in the mix drum track frames a compelling male/female dual vocal as intoxicating synths fill in the atmospheric white spaces.
