MP3 A new track from Big K.R.I.T., featuring 2Chainz, 8Ball, and MJG. It’s titled “Money On the Floor,” and has a fat, Southern beat. The pitch-shifted vocals over the hook are another nice tough as well. Basically, this track has everything I dug so much about

A new video from Alabama’s Yelawolf, which is featured in Ubisoft’s Driver San Francisco. For now, this track seems kinda relegated to video game fame, but Yela still goes hard. I’m loving the beat on this one, because the horns and dreary synth chords are absolutely gorgeous.

Skipping Rocks by Oddisee DC hip hop producer Oddisee has a new album of instrumentals out that tributes his favorite spot in the capital city: Rock Creek Park. With both samples and live instrumentation, Oddisee tries–and succeeds, really–at recreating what the place means to him through song. Stream

Connecticut rapper Apathy brings a modern feel to the classic sounds of East Coast hip hop on his latest album, Honkey Kong. Though this LP doesn’t experiment or step over any major boundaries, it does come with a lot of consistency, quotable lyricism, and solid beats. Despite a few
