Betty Wright & The Roots - Real Woman (Feat. Snoop Dogg)

Betty Wright joins forces with The Roots for her first album in 10 years, Betty Wright: The Movie. The album serves up 14 earth, funk-drenched soul anthems, all of which were co-written by Wright and co-produced by Wright, Ahimir "?uestloves" Thompson of The Roots and Angelo Morris. The album features guest performances by Lil Wayne, Joss Stone and Lenny Williams, but it's this Snopp Dogg featuring jam that stands out for me. A big release, which will be available on November 15th.

Frank Ocean - Thinking About You (SBTRKT Edit)

The day after Frank Ocean's first London gig, London-based Dubstep producer SBTRKT lets go a lovely edit of one of the Odd Future member's most well received tracks. Beautiful stuff.

Treasure Fingers - Take My Hand

A new piece from one of the most consistently brilliant House producers around; Fools Gold signee, Treasure Fingers. Funky grooves, a pulsating bassline and an incredibly catchy vocal that you can't help but sing along too. On repeat - download for free HERE.

Rihanna - Talk That Talk (Feat. Jay-Z)

The most anticipated track from Rihanna's forthcoming sixth studio album, Talk That Talk, which is out November 21st. A very underwhelming song, and not the greatest Jay-Z verse - probably be a number 1 still.

Frank Ocean - Swim Good (Live in London)

Here is Frank Ocean performing one of his most well received tracks at a special gig @ XOYO in London last night, which was his first ever performance in Europe. I love this guy - 2:33 > the end = a moment.

Yasmin - Light Up (The World) (Feat. Ms. Dynamite) (Video)

Some beautiful visuals for the third single to be taken from Yasmin's forthcoming debut album, which is produced by the legendary Shy FX and features a reinvented Ms Dynamite. Cuba looks amazing, Yasmin looks amazing and this is a massive tune. Available on January 15th.

Heavy D - Nothin’ But Love (Statik Selektah’s T.R.O.Y. Blend/Remix)

After the untimely passing of Heavy D the other day, Statik Selektah has created this incredible tribute during an iChat with Lord Sear about the death of the rapper - he brings together Nothin' But Love by Heavy and the all-time Pete Rock & CL Smooth classic, T.R.O.Y. The perfect way to remember another legend that is gone far too soon.

Sway - Still Speedin' (Kill The Noise Remix)

Kill The Noise puts his own unique bass-heavy twist on the massive lead single from Sway's forthcoming album, The Deliverence. Have a feeling this will go down rather well live.

Murkage - Torches

Produced by Alex Mills and co-produced by KEE, here is the new single from Manchester-based Dubstep/Hip-Hop collective Murkage. They've had a huge year thus far, getting recognition from 1Xtra, playing festivals up and down the country and signing a record deal, but this track once again sees the group take another step in the right direction. Music with a message.
