Sampling one of Marvin Gaye's all-time classics 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine', here is my favourite track from Tony Dee's latest EP 'Never Blues'. The EP was released on Prospect Records and is just another example as to why people consider Tony Dee to be one of the best producers in the Tech-House scene. Buy HERE.

Back in 2007, Q-Tip & Common announced that they were to form a super group called The Standard - however nothing came to light, in a similar vein to that of CRS (KanYe, Lupe & Pharrell). However, in a recent interview with NYDN, NaS said that he "definitely" plans on doing an album with Tip & Comm in the future, fuelling speculation that the duo could well become a trio. Kamaal is currently working on his third studio album, and the follow up to 'The Renaissance', while NaS is readying his next LP 'Life Is Good'. We can live in hope.

Two of favourite tracks from Chiddy Bang's highly anticipated debut album 'Breakfast', which dropped today in America and will be released next week in the UK. Both tracks possess all of the distinctive qualities that have made people fall in love with the alternative Hip-Hop duo over the past few years - refreshing beats, clever samples, infectious choruses, dope bars and Chiddy's undeniably cool flow. This album is basically everything that Lupe Fiasco wanted to achieve with 'Lasers', but a much more cohesive project, with a much better concept. Pre-order HERE.
