Big Boi - "Kill Jill" ft. Killer Mike & Jeezy
New Tracks1 CommentBig Boi, Killer Mike, and Jeezy go full-on weeb with "Kill Jill." No, your ears do not deceive you; featured on the beat is motherfuckin Miku-chan herself...but somehow it works really well. The track will appear on Big Boi's new album Boomiverse, which should be out sometime in June.

Run The Jewels – “Oh My Darling (Don’t Cry)” (NSFW Video)
New TracksCommentRun The Jewels are uniquely skilled at conjuring ridiculous amounts of havoc and bravado from a surprisingly minimalist approach. The duo apply this talent in the new video for "Oh My Darling Don't Cry", the second single from their year-end-list-topping LP, RTJ2. Like the production on the track, the video gives El-P and Killer Mike room to display their prowess, a pulpit from which to preach. El's beat for this track is a wild ride for sure, but at its core it's really quite sparse: the dry, quick snare, that stomach-churning kick, and the chopped voices skittering on top. The dense and incendiary verses really get the spotlight with it writhing underneath them like that. The visuals work in much the same way, framing the pair as they deliver each blow. Forgoing any narrative, we get only a dark room, intermittent flashes of light and color, and distorted nude bodies blurring by...and of course El and Mike laying waste.
Run The Jewels - "Blockbuster Night Pt. 2 ft. Despot & Wiki
New TracksCommentRun the Jewels drops a bonus track from their recently released--and very awesome--sophomore album, Run The Jewels 2. It seems to be the second part of the album cut "Blockbuster Night Pt. 1," and features guest verses from Despot and Ratking member Wiki.
It's a hot track. The beat's got a heavy, stuttering groove, and some strangely noisy DJ cuts, too--if those sounds at 1:15 even are DJ cuts. El-P and Killer Mike are great as usual, and the guest verses match the tone of the song really well.
