Spotted over at SKOA, here is the latest piece to surface from DJ Shadow's upcoming fourth studio album, The Less You Know, The Better, which will feature collaborations from Talib Kweli, De La Soul's Posdnuos, Little Dragon, Afrikan Boy and Tom Vek. Judging from this it sounds like Shadow is back to his best, but I will save my judgement for when the album drops on September 27th. For more info check HERE.

A lovely new piece from upcoming soul singer Josh Kumra, who features on the current number one UK single 'Don't Go' by Wretch 32. Josh has been on the road with Wretch for the past few months, but he's also been working on some of his own stuff for an upcoming EP and a debut album. You can download a copy for free HERE.

YES YES YES!!! Here is the lead single from Phonte's upcoming debut solo album, Charity Starts At Home, which is set to drop on September 27th. 'Te is on fine lyrical form, Elzhi is as monstrous as ever and 9th Wonder is one of the greatest producers to ever walk the Earth - what more could you want from a lead single?! This man is easily of my favourite artists of all-time, both rapping and singing, and I'm pretty sure that this will be the Hip-Hop release of the year. Download for free HERE, and then be sure to support next month.

Best known by most as Example's bass player, Sheldrake has been producing material of his own for quite some time now (including a track on Example's forthcoming album), but today saw the release of his first official solo remix. The track he has remixed is the latest single off Hollie Cook's self-entitled debut album - the daughter of Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook has an incredible amount of talent and the album has been in heavy rotation on my iPod over the past few months, but this laid back Dubstep vibe brings out something really special in her vocals. You can grab a copy on Beatport HERE, or wait till it's released on iTunes September 5th.

My favourite track from Blu's latest LP, No York, which he has apparently been throwing out to the crowd at his recent Rock The Bells performances. This guy's work ethic is something else, and his talent speaks for itself - the lyrics on this joint are so true. One of the best Hip-Hop artists to emerge from the past 10 years.

Example & Laidback Luke's collaborative single gets the once over from Italian DJ/Producer Benny Benassi. After hearing this and the Skream remix, you should probably pre-order the EP HERE - out October 2nd.

Bit of a weird company for him to be teaming up with, but I like it, and it's clearly not one he's done for the money.
