Homeless Tracks – Killin' the radio waves since 2012

Drake – “Started From The Bottom” + Wiz Khalifa Remix

Drake recently released the track “Started From The Bottom,” his first single from his unnamed, upcoming album.  The beginning of the song is quite dragged out, as is the chorus every time it reveals itself.  It’s a very unfamiliar sound than we’re used to hearing from Drizzy, with all the unusual and innovative sounds. However, the new [...]

The Birth of Reggae in the United Kingdom – Guest Post by Mary Joy

The following is a guest post by Mary Joy.  Reggae is one of the most popular genres of music in the United Kingdom. Despite its recognition, not all British folk are familiar with where it’s from and how it began in the country. Reggae is a musical genre that was developed in Kingston, Jamaica in [...]

Snoop Lion – “Lighters Up” (Ft. Mike Posner)

Snoop Lion‘s been on the prowl lately, dropping wide-ranging ranging material, pouncing on artist’s across the board, and sometimes bleeding the good ones dry. This time around, however, it sounds like he’s got a good thing going. Commissioning Mike Posner for the track, Snoop Dogg, OK, Lion, has managed to take “Lighters Up” beyond his [...]

A$AP Rocky – “Wild For The Night” (Ft. Skrillex)

Ok, so Long.Live.A$AP dropped a month early and the blogosphere is reeling in excitement. Of the album’s 12 track listing, number eight, the ASAP Rocky-Skrillex collaboration is by far the most interesting, however. A genre-blending wonderchild, “Wild For The Night” features a slightly altered version of Skrillex’s “Goin’ Down”– a chill remix of Birdy Nam [...]

Dido – “Let Us Move On” (Ft. Kendrick Lamar)

Dido is no stranger to cross-genre power collaborations, having been featured on Eminem‘s famous “Stan” back in 1999. Now,  in 2012, the artist is blending styles and casting shadows yet again, teaming up with West Coast heavy-hitter and experimental hip hop artist, Kendrick Lamar, for “Let Us Move On.” Co-produced by Dido, her brother Rollo Armstrong, [...]

Kids These Day – “Doo Wah” [Music Video]

Kids These Days is a 7-piece indie outfit from Chicago, Illinois. Their latest music video for “Doo Wah,” dropped as an mp3 stream via their SoundCloud about a month ago, was just released through noisey’s YouTube channel earlier today. As whimsical as their sound, the music video’s visuals are too evocative of both simpler and [...]

Trouble Andrew – “Cheated” (Ft. Yelawolf) [Music Video]

In what is by far the most hilarious music video I’ve seen in a long time, Trouble Andrew and Yelawolf employ a creative set of animated visuals that carry their words further than the song by itself ever could. What really makes the music video incredibly funny is the low-quality artwork and incorporation of Breaking [...]

Big Boi – “Mama Told Me” (Ft. Little Dragon) (Prod. The Flush)

Due to some legal disputes, the Big Boi-Little Dragon collaboration, “Mama Told Me,” wasn’t actually able to make it as a feature on Big Boi’s latest record, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. Instead, the record ended up featuring Kelly Rowland‘s lungs. After much deliberation, however, the original version of the track was released via the internet [...]

Chill Bump – The Loop [Album]

Chill Bump is a perfect example of underrated hip hop. Their production is sound, unique and spazzy; their lyrical charm is paralleled by few; and their fan base is outrageously diminutive. It’s a shame, really. Their latest release, The Loop, released as a pay-what-you-will on Bandcamp, is tight with wit and singularity, charming in content, [...]

A$AP Rocky Releases Long.Live.A$AP Tracklist

Finally, after much anticipation, A$AP Rocky has officially released the tracklist to his upcoming album, Long.Live.A$AP. Featuring a slew of popular names like, Schoolboy Q, Skrillex, Santigold, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Big K.R.I.T., Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Pharrell, Florence Welch, among others, and a set of tracks that look [...]

The Game – “Jesus Piece” (Ft. Kanye West and Common)

“Jesus Piece,” Game‘s latest drop and long anticipated title track from his upcoming album, Jesus Piece, is a stinger. While the track is a group effort, featuring both ‘Ye and Common, it’s largely dominated by Game. In fact, and disappointing enough, Kanye only makes it as far as the hook, with Common providing the final [...]

Rihanna – “Right Now” (Ft. David Guetta)

Last week we got a Kanye West remix of Rihanna‘s perpetual radio rotator, ”Diamonds,” and today we got a copy of “Right Now”– a party-ready cut from her upcoming album, Unapologetic. Produced by David Guetta, the track features a dynamic, though vaguely cyclical, instrumentation, with expansive breaks during the choruses, and bass-heavy, wheezing production during, well, everything else. The track’s definitely [...]
