Backed by The Roots, J. Cole performs one of my favourite tracks and what should have been the lead single from his debut album, live on the Jimmy Fallon show. A dope performance, a very cool dude.

'Soul Train' creator Don Cornelius commits suicide aged 75

Don Cornelius, the creator of Soul Train, was found dead at his Sherman Oaks home on Wednesday morning. Law officials have announced that they arrived at his home at 4am to find the 75 year old with self inflicted gunshot wounds - the sources have said there was no sign of foul play, but the Los Angeles Police Department are currently investigating. This is incredibly sad news for all music lovers, especially following his 2010 interview with The Times, where he said he was excited about a movie project he was developing about 'Soul Train'.

Delilah - 21 x Love Drug (2-4am Mixtape)

Here are two of my favourite tracks from Delilah's highly anticipated debut mixtape, 2-4am, which she dropped off as a free download earlier tonight. The stunning singer/songwriter shot into the spotlight following her feature slot on the sophmore album from Chase & Status, but 2012 is the year where she is set to blow the world away with her talents as a solo artist. Her enchanting vocal tone alone sets her apart from anyone else out there right now. Love this girl, get your copy of the mixtape HERE.

Roses Gabor - The Wonderful World Of Roses Gabor Vol. 1 (Mixed by Martelo) 

Roses Gabor is a name that many of you may not have heard, but I can guarantee that you have heard her voice over the past few years. Whether it's with Redlight on 'Stupid', Shy FX on 'Raver', SBTRKT on the incredible 'Pharoahs' or on tour with Gorillaz, this lady has become one of the most sought after female vocalists in the UK, and there is a reason for that. 'The Wonderful World of Roses Gabor Vol. 1', which has been mixed by my man Martelo, showcases exactly why. Click play, enjoy.

Emeli Sandé - Next To Me (Nu:Tone Remix)

After his brilliant remix of her debut single 'Heaven', Emeli Sandé has once again called upon the services of Hospital legend Nu:Tone to add some classic Drum & Bass flavour to the latest single from her forthcoming album, Our Version Of Events. Emeli has a knack of putting together really special remix packages, and after hearing Dorian's and now this, it seems as though the 'Next To Me' one is going to be no exception. "NEXT TO MEEEEE, WOOOHOOOO!"
