SZA – Babylon feat. Kendrick Lamar
SZA’s debut is due tomorrow, and to help keep the music world buzzing she dropped “Babylon” featuring TDE MVP Kendrick Lamar.
Really pumped for this full album. Take a listen below and let us know what you think. Prefer this track or the Chance the Rapper one?
Drake – Draft Day [Download]
Drizzy just dropped “Draft Day” featuring a sample from Ms. Lauryn Hill. Drake mentions Andrew Wiggins, Johnny Manziel, Jennifer Lawrence, AND even a little jab at Chance the Rapper. This Manziel Drake bromance is great. Listen below!
PS – to download all you have to do is hit that little down arrow in the top right hand corner on the song below
SZA – Childs Play feat. Chance the Rapper
Another Chance post… but this time the song is courtesy of the first lady of TDE, SZA. Any time you do anything over XXYYXX’s “About You,” it’s probably going to sound good, but with SZA and Chano teaming up, the song is exceptional. SZA’s voice gives a hypnotizing vibe to the hazy sample, check it out below. Not the first time we have a SaveMoney rapper dropping a verse to the Canadian producer’s hit, Kami de Chukwu did so last year. SZA’s Z EP is due soon, and she’s on the packed Pitchfork as well.
Chance the Rapper – Home Studio (Back Up In This Bitch)
Chance has a home studio now and a production crew called Social Experiment. So obviously his latest song is called “Home Studio (Back Up in this Bitch)”. Nate Fox and Nico Segal produced, the track features Chano reflecting on some of his successes over the past year, how he’s got the labels telling him he’s not playing fair. The beat is funky, so get your dancing shoes out. Enjoy! Solo Chano is back up in this bitch, AND he’s got that Young Thug flow on too!
Jay Z x Jay Electronica – We Made It
Well if you weren’t expecting your Sunday to get turned on its head, don’t press play below. Jay and Jay decided to drop “We Made It” this morning, and OH BOY. So many quotables here… I’ll leave you with a few before you listen on your own.
RATKING – So Sick Stories (feat. King Krule)
This is a must listen. Ratking is a 3 piece group from New York, led by 18 year old Wiki and Sporting Life. Check out the group wandering the streets of NYC, joined by fellow XL artist (and acityinthemidwest favorite) King Krule, in the brand new video for “So Sick Stories.” Word is Young Guru was helping finish up the album, so add that to your 2014 most anticipated list.

James Blake – Life Round Here (Remix) feat. Chance the Rapper
We officially have the visuals for the Chance the Rapper remix of James Blake’s hit, “Life Round Here.” The video features the two driving around in a drop top on a rainy day in the forest. Great song, and it’s absolutely awesome that these two are friends. Hopefully more music on the way.

Chvrches at the Metro
Fresh off of a sold out performance at Lincoln Hall the night before, Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook, and Martin Doherty, who make up the Scottish band Chvrches, performed at a sold out Metro Wednesday night. If you’ve been an ACITM follower, you know we are absolutely crazy about these guys. The band played most of their much anticipated debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, which is set to release on September 24.
Check out photos from the show below, and hit the jump for a mini review/setlist of the performance.
St. Lucia – Too Close
We’re digging “Too Close,” the latest track from Brooklyn-based synth-pop group St. Lucia. The experimental electronics make it the perfect song to close out summer and wind into fall. The band’s new album When The Night drops October 8.
