Classixx - Into the Valley (Feat. Karl Dixon) (Julio Bashmore Remix)

Not heard much from Julio Bashmore recently, but yesterday he decided to surprise us all by dropping this smashing remix of Classixx's new single, Into The Valley. I genuinely believe that this young man is one of the most talented producers that this country has seen for a very long time. You can download for free HERE.

Beyoncé - 1+1

Here is the opening track from Beyoncé's upcoming album, 4. I'm not a huge fan of the lead single, but I fully understand why she has released it, and it's clear to see from this track that the album isn't going to disappoint. I will always have a ridiculous amount of love for this woman.

J Rawls - Sandsy (Feat. J. Sands)

Here is my favourite track from J Rawls' new album, The Hip-Hop Affect. For those of you who don't know; Rawls helped launch the independent Hip-Hop explosion of the late 90s by producing Brown Skin Lady and Yo Yeah from Mos Def and Talib Kweli’s seminal debut album as Black Star. Legendary.

J. Cole - Return Of Simba

Cole let this new one go last night. I hope this is the sort of stuff we can expect from the debut album - he murdered the beat. Lyrical monster.

OH MY WORD! Snippet of the No I.D. produced lead single from Common's upcoming album, The Believer. No words.

Ed Sheeran - XFM Live Session

Following on from his session for Zane Lowe the other night, Ed Sheeran dropped into the Manchester based XFM studio to perform 5 tracks; including A-Team, UNI, Wake Me Up, Wayfaring Stranger & You Need Me. As Ed said himself, it's refreshing for a radio station to let him perform a small set, rather than squashing him in to a small booth to do just one or two tracks. Below you can hear one of the best performances of You Need Me that he's done, and you can download the entire session HERE. Onwards & upwards.

Kool G Rap - In Too Deep (Feat. Heather Walker) x Meaning Of Your Love

Two of my favourite tracks from legendary rapper Kool G Rap's upcoming 5th solo studio album, Riches, Royalty & Respect. Love the beats, love the samples, love the features and love the rhymes. Really good album.
