Kanye West performs new songs acappella
This is crazy! I can't wait to hear these songs with beats added to them. Kanye performed these songs at the Facebook offices. I give Kanye props for having the courage to perform like this. It must be tough to have people hear your new songs for the first time without any beats or anything like that. Kanye's new album Good Ass Job comes out September 14.

The Roots- The Fire (Ft. John Legend)
Check out this new video by The Roots. Pretty badass vid. This is the description given to it from it's YouTube page.
"The Fire" chronicles a post-apocalyptic death march set in 1945 during the final stages of World War II in Europe. After a cataclysmic event renders the war futile, a paramilitary splinter group -- led by a Kurtz-like figure known as The Commodore -- forces the transfer of young men who will be used as labor...and food. The last survivor of the march receives a mysterious White Box which holds the key to survival. - Rik

Japanese Cartoon- In the Jaws of the Lords of Death
Japanese Cartoon is a new punk rock/electronic band produced and fronted by Lupe Fiasco. This isn't a normal Lupe album at all. He puts on a fake British accent and rocks out. Check out their debut album below. The band is different but in a good way.

Kid Cudi- Erase Me (ft. Kanye West)
September 14 is going to be an amazing day for hip hop music. Kid Cudi, Big Sean, and Kanye West are all dropping their albums on this day. All these guys are signed under the G.O.O.D Music record label making Kanye refer to it as "G.O.O.D Music Day". While you are waiting for all those albums to drop you can check out this new song from Cudi's upcoming album Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager. This song features Kanye West and is more of a rocker. This song is pretty amazing and I can't wait till September 14!

The Kills- Pale Blue Eyes
Check out the kills covering Velvet Underground's song Pale Blue Eyes. Pretty interesting take. I love Alison Mosshart's voice on this. They gave the song a quicker tempo making it sound more garage rockish... Hope you enjoy.

Kid Cudi, Best Coast, and Rostman Batmanglij- All Summer

Check out the new converse collaboration. A couple of summers ago they got Santogold, Julian Casablancas, and Pharrell to come up with a song.

Sky Ferreira-One
Sky Ferreira is one badass bitch. I don't say that about any teenagers. But this "one, one, one, one, one" is special. I've been calling this girl to be the next big star ever since I heard her Miike Snow "Animal" cover . Her voice is so smooth and passionate which is awesome for a seventeen year old. She's not like those other "poop" star robots. Also, I have twitter crush on her @skyferreira. Don't worry, she will be eighteen soon, then I will have a real life crush on her. So I'm not a total creep, I know the rules.
