album The Prize
Jakwob is the truth. One of the best dubstep/electro producers in the game. He’s a force to be reckoned with. His music is inspiring and absolutely beautiful. Download his new album, The Prize for free at his site: jakwob.com

I originally posted this song, way back when and rediscovered it on my flight out west this weekend. Wowzers. So damn good, I couldn’t NOT repost it. So now I bend on one knee and ask the music gods, in their infinite wisdom, “PLEASE PLEASE make Jai Paul drop his album NOW.” Jai Paul is the truth and one of the best new artists of… well, ever. Dig this. - Bold statement? Yeah probably, but got damn…
by Jai Paul
Thank Jah, we were blessed with a new track from Jai Paul. His song, BTSTU, is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. No joke. I hope the man puts out an album soon, so we can get our fix. He’s far too talented to be teasing us like this. I feel like musical blue balls are setting in. Cool track. Enjoy.
by Smiler & Lana Del Rey
That’s right a NEW (to me and likely you) track from Ms Lana Del Rey. This pouty bombshell was apparently recording Born to Die in a studio next to UK rapper Smiler. Smiler invited her in to sing the vocals on the Shirley Bassey cover of Big Spender. The result is this banger that’s going to be on Smiler’s new album. Dig.

Bonobo is my dude and I’m just now introduced to DELS, the UK emcee on this joint. It’s good. Real good.

album NEW SINGLE 02/04/2012
New heater from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs aka T-E-E-D of Oxford, UK. Tracks called Tapes & Money. Dope.

A new (demo) from the amazing Brits, The xx. I love their music and remixes. They do great sonic work and are getting approached by everyone for remixes, mashups and original productions. I cannot wait for their new album which is slated for 2012.

Damn. The Wale show was off the hook last night at the Wilbur Theater in Boston. Black Cobain accompanied and tore it down as well. When they did “4am” together the place went nuts. Wale was live as hell and I feel very content with the money spent. Black Cobain even took some time to do Twitter shoutouts after his set and he shouted your Mayor out, nbd…
Broken Record - Katy B - Jacques Greene Remix - Katy B, pic above, is an extremely talented songstress. I love her voice and style. The track she did with Magnetic Man, Perfect Stranger, is HEAT…
Mr. Blue Sky - Mayer Hawthorne - Mayoral fave, Mayer Hawthorne, is the man. This dude is so talented it’s scary. He is a beast on production, a multi-instrumentalist and a hell of a crooner. This is a cover of the Electric Light Orchestra, or ELO, jammer by the same name. It’s a dope track off his new EP of cover songs which you can download here: Mayer Hawthorne - Impressions (Free EP). Thanks to mostlyjunkfood.
What’s My Name - Snoop Doggy Dogg - Hot 8 Brass Band Cover - I’ve never heard of the Hot 8 Brass Band, but i caught this at etmusiquepourtous and had to share it. This shit is so hot. Definite party track. These guys are from N’awlins and you can hear it. Dopenstein.

What a week this is sure to be. My 27th bday yesterday (a holiday in Cambridge), Mayer Hawthorne tonight, fly to Spain tomorrow. Damn. That’s vassup.
Anyhow, here’s a cover of Swedish House Mafia’s track One by UK band The Foals. It’s pretty rad. Expect something in the way of an Eyedea tribute or the like later. It’s a sad loss for the hip hop community and our thoughts go out to his family and friends. He was a talented rapper from Minneap and we at City Hall salute him.

Bonjour friends, peep this new track by Plan B of London. The remix is by his countrymen, UK duo Nero. Nero dubbed this out and it sounds pretty damn sick. Song is very high energy and instinctively I started head banging mid way through it. Enjoy it and help yourself to an easy download below.

The dude, Star Slinger, is a Manchester, UK producer/dj who dropped this gem of a beattape. it’s pretty sweet. Standouts for me are: Dutchie Courage and Mornin’, but there’s a few other jammers on here. Enjoy his free Volume 1 download.
