DJ PREMIER FEAT. CASANOVA – WUT U SAID???

DJ Premier has had quite the busy past couple of years. Well, that’s been his entire life. But collaborations with artists both young and old have been released at a frequent clip. For his latest endeavor, Preemo connects with Casanova for the ultra aggressive “Wut U Said???” on Payday Records.

“Making decisions from a DJ/producer/fan perspective is always my approach when I make a new joint for an artist,” Premier told Complex. “Since the Payday deal is a four-single deal, how do you follow the ASAP Ferg record ‘Our Streets’? I love hardcore hip-hop so much, which mentally took me into a darker place and I immediately thought of Casanova.”

ALI SHAHEED MUHAMMAD & ADRIAN YOUNGE – NPR’S TINY DESK CONCERT [VIDEO]

Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Adrian Younge have been putting in work. From the duo scoring another season of Luke Cage to the brilliant The Midnight Hour album, these two have been tearing it up musically. Their appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert furthers that notion as they glide through “Black Beacon,” “There is No Greater Love,” “B*tches Do Voodoo” and “Mission” from their recently released album.

CHANCE THE RAPPER – I MIGHT NEED SECURITY

Chance the Rapper dropped a four pack of songs the other night but this is, by far, the standout of that group of songs. The title isn’t by coincidence, either. It samples the early 2000s standup by Jamie Foxx where he sings the four letter curse word. And there’s no sing songy Chance, it’s straight bars from the young Chicago rapper.
