Andre 3000 – I Do (King Most Mix)

king-most

per King Most:

Dear Mr. 3 Stacks,

How has your summer been? I see that your buddy Antwan dropped an album recently. Do you mind dropping some FULL-LENGTH material before the year ends? If not, I’m going to have to keep taking these random one-minute leaks and adding some of your other verses to make them sort of resemble full songs. I know you creative types, but come on..at least blow our wigs back with a guest verse a la “Walk It Out” or the above, “Everybody”.

Thanks

King Most

Natural Self – Midnight Sun (Jeremy Sole Remix) / The Black Angels – Telephone / Breton – Penultimate

jeremy-sole2

Jeremy Sole adds his touch to “Midnight Sun” from Natural Self’s My Heart Beats Like A Drum LP. that, + some sultry vox from Elodie Rama = one pretty bad ass track.

breton

another favorite from Breton‘s Sharing Notes EP. this EP is pretty boss, and not short on innovative ideas to back it up. one fan took special note to the group’s direction and put together this sick video for “Penultimate” (see below).

Lissie – Record Collector

lissie

“Record Collector” is the lead track previewed from Lissie‘s new and forthcoming debut LP, Catching A Tiger, available via Fat Possum – and expected to drop official in the US August 17. this track doesn’t fall short on capturing that BIG Lissie sound, which incredibly comes from such a little person. not to mention a great bridge at the end. we love it!

K-Os – BlackWater (Feat. Sebastien Grainger)

k-os

new and previewed from The Anchorman Mixtape, dropping August 6th, K-Os teams up with fellow canuck and Death from Above 1979’s Sebastien Grainger for singing and drumming stylings on “BlackWater”. as for the track; amazing-hat dude (above) looks pretty damn psyched on it, and we think James Brown could definitely get down. your take…
