iDownload... Slickmouth - The Stars Are Aligning EP

Emerging UK-based Hip-Hop artist Slickmouth releases his brand NEW EP titled 'The Stars Are Aligned' which features ten original songs with some really amazing soulful production provided for by the likes of Chemist, The Missing Note and a host of other burgeoning producers as well as notable guest features from Atlantic Records-signee Ed Sheeran, The BB Architect's Giovanna Jayne and emerging singer/songwriter Shean Williams. I am yet to listen to the entire EP all the way through but having checked out the collaborations and a couple other songs in particular, I can say that the EP is filled with some of that good good music. My favorite song so far is the 99-produced 'Old School Loving' which features Giovanna Jayne. Listen below and download the entire EP underneath that...

iMusic... Sweatshop Union - Makeshift Kingdom

New music from veteran Canadian Hip-Hop collective, Sweatshop Union titled 'Makeshift Kingdom' off of their forthcoming EP - 'The Bill Murray EP'. Check it out below and get your free download underneath...

"March 1st Urbnet Records releases Sweatshop Union's most powerful project yet: The Bill Murray EP. The Vancouver, BC based group exceeds all expectations with this new record. Shit's outer space. The first song leaked off The Bill Murray EP is Makeshift Kingdom, a synth heavy mushroom trip through the cosmos that leaves you beating your chest for more. Gorillas on parade. Mos Eisley & Conscience are at their best, laying sharp lyrics over the Pigeon Hole produced track. Hands down the Billest." - Urbnet Records

The FADER are pretty awesome as a media publication but as a label, they are f**king ingenius! From Matt & Kim to Saul Williams to Neon Indian, they do NOT know how to put a foot wrong...

'Decorate' is the first single off of Yuna's forthcoming FADER-released 'Decorate' EP due in the US on March 15. I'll be posting one Yuna song a day this week for your listening pleasure (not for download though) so make sure you come back here to check em out!
