Phonte - Good Fight

Following the Elzhi featuring lead single, here is another piece of 9th Wonder produced music from Phonte's debut solo album, Charity Starts At Home. Most people are excited for September 27th because of Cole World, but I'm just as (if not more) excited for this release, from one of my favourite artists of all-time. FE all day baby.

After his massive re-work of DJ Fresh's number one single last weekend, Random Impulse has now decided to take Example's chart topping Changed The Way You Kiss Me and put his own unique twist on it.

DJ Premier - Will Sessions Instrumentals

With the impending release of The Elmatic Instrumentals, DJ Premier took some time to check out the new interpretations of some of his classic productions, as covered by Detroit band Will Sessions. After explaining the background behind the beat for Memory Lane, he's predictably impressed with the new instrumental versions for Represent and Detroit State of Mind. This is amazing. The Elmatic Instrumentals will be released worldwide on September 27 on CD, 180g Vinyl, and digital formats.

Eric Benet - Real Love

After tying the knot with Manuela Testolini earlier this year, R&B crooner Eric Benet is back with the lead single from his upcoming album sixth studio album, which will be released on his new label, Jordan House & EMI. One of the most incredible voices in music, and this single is nothing short of stunning. Beautiful music.

Nero - Promises (Vandalism vs Skrillex Bootie)

Vadalism take Skrillex's monstrous remix of Nero's latest single, Promises, and put their ever unique Electro twist on it. As they explain, "we wanted something 4x4 for the Vandalism Electro Sets...so BOOM - HERE YOU GO...." - I think they succeeded, and can see this tearing up dancefloors up and down the country in the near future.

Kano & Mikey J - Alien (Feat. Maxsta)

Premiered tonight on DJ Target's show, here is the second track from Kano & Mikey J's forthcoming collaborative mixtape, Not 4 The A List. Random Antics was something else, so this was always going to have a tough job following it, but I think it's more than done that - another huge beat from Mikey J and some crazy bars from both Kano & Maxsta. Excited to hear the whole tape now - free download below.

Frank Ocean - Swim Good

Directed by Nabil Elderkin, here are the official visuals for my favourite track from Frank Ocean's free album, nostagia:ULTRA. I like the direction Nabil went with on this one, it kinda reminds me of the Dark Fantasy scene from KanYe's Runaway film. Nothing but love for Mr. Ocean.
