Giggs - Every Angle Friday

Well well well, it seems Mr. Giggs was feeling very generous tonight - as part of a night called #everyanglefriday he decided to give away five tracks for free. Wasn't feeling the first track, but the remaining four are big, and the idea in general is very clever. Catch all 5 download links below the Kano featuring track, Dem Man, which is without doubt my favourite.

Man A Dead - pretty good
Beautiful Music - pretty special
New Girl (Freestyle) - pretty smooth
Dem Man (Feat. Kano) - pretty monstrous
F**k Niggas - pretty hard

Maverick Sabre - I Need

Some simple, but cool and effective visuals for Maverick Sabre's second single from his upcoming debut album, Lonely Are The Brave, which is set to be released in January 2012. I love everything about this guy, and this is no exception - can't wait for the album.

Professor Green - Read All About (Feat. Emeli Sandé)

Some incredibly powerful visuals for Professor Green's lead single from his upcoming sophmore album, At Your Inconvenience. I absolutely love the track, and I'm really glad the video did it justice - have a feeling this album will be streets ahead of his debut. You can pre-order the single HERE (October 23rd) and pre-order the album HERE (October 31st).

J. Cole - Cole World: The Sideline Story (Snippets)

Last night we got the Jay-Z collaboration from Cole's debut album; tonight we get the snippets for the whole album. September 27th is gonna be a day to remember, me thinks.

Balance & The Traveling Sound - Hey Lady

After bringing you their Dilla cover the other day, here is my favourite track from Balance & The Traveling Sound's new EP, Departure, which you download for free HERE! Their cover of Won't Do was amazing, but the fact that they are producing their own material (of this quality) excites more than anything. They have a ridiculous amount of talent and the effortless fusion of Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul & Funk without a doubt makes these guys one of my favourite discoveries of 2011.

Murs - Remember 2 Forget

Official visuals for the lead single from Murs & Ski Beatz's collaborative album, Love & Rockets Vol. 1, which drops October 11th. One of the dopest MCs around + one of the dopest beat makers around = guaranteed fire.

Crazy P - Wecanonlybewhoweare x Heartbreaker

Here are my two favourite tracks from Crazy P's upcoming fifth studio album, When We On, which is set to be released September 19th on 2020 Vision. The group was originally formed in 1995 by Chris Todd and Jim Baron, but expanded in 2002 by introducing bassist Tim Davies, percussionist Mav Kendricks, and vocalist Dannielle Moore. To put it simply, they are bloody amazing - their sound is based around funky basslines, stunning vocals and deep grooves, which together makes for the most stunning Deep House/Nu-Disco music you could ever wish to hear. Pre-order HERE, and read more on the album after the jump.

J. Cole - Mr Nice Watch (Feat. Jay-Z)

One of the most highly anticipated tracks of the year from one of the most highly anticipated albums of the century - good job it didn't disappont then, ay? Cole is pretty much untouchable at the minute, and Jigga's verse is just crazy. September 27th, The Sideline Story.

Laidback Luke vs. Example - Natural Disaster

A big video for the euphoric collaborative single from Laidback Luke & Example, which will be released on October 16th. As well as featuring on Example's massive No.1 album, Playing In The Shadows, this will also act as Laidback Luke's first release on Ministry Of Sound since signing to the label last month - a great choice, if you ask me. Pre-order HERE.

Labrinth - Earthquake (Feat. Tinie Tempah) (Original & Eyes Remix)

Here is the follow up single to Labrinth's debut, Let The Sunshine, which is set to be released next month on Syco. The beat is incredible, but the lyrics do nothing for me - they have no real meaning and let the song down massively. Quite disappointed, because this could have been a truly brilliant song - however, saying that, it's still got all the right elements to make it a guaranteed hit. As well as the original you can also catch Eyes' monstrous Drumstep remix below, which will feature on the official EP - a very talented young man. Pre-order HERE.
