SHLOHMO – EMERGE FROM SMOKE

Having just signed to indie label True Panther, Shlohmo keeps the murky, ominous vibes alive on ‘Emerge From Smoke’. There’s no screwed vocals this time around, just plenty of bass and looming synths.

J. COLE – APPARENTLY

Here is J. Cole’s smooth first single from his album 2014 Forest Hills Drive, which features him rapping in front of a range of coloured, distorted backdrops. A welcome afternoon chiller from the Roc Nation signee.

T.I. – ABOUT THE MONEY (KAYTRANADA REMIX)

Kaytranada tackles one of the year’s biggest trap bangers with confidence, infusing dance-ready percussion and switching the thunderous drop for lush instrumentation. A very nice re-work.

FLAMINGO – DRIP AWAY

Shakas aplenty! Local crew Flamingo deliver some sunset vibes with the video for ‘Drip Away’, which features tripped-out ocean scenes atop a surfboard.

NICKI MINAJ – FEELING MYSELF FT. BEYONCE

This absolutely killer duo unite again on ‘Feeling Myself’, produced by certified hit-maker Hit Boy. It’s no ‘Flawless (Remix)’, but still bangs hard enough for us to get excited about The Pinkprint.
