Future’s long awaited album Honest is due this month, and to start the promo, he liberates “I Won,” featuring Yeezus himself. Fitting Kanye gets the guest verse here, matching the rest of the songs theme. Stream it below.
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.

Week that Was (4-16-14)
This should probably be called the year that was, but to help with tagging, we’re sticking with “Week.” Away for some time, but getting back on track, expect more and more ACITM music coverage as I finish my studies and head back to what has become the mecca of music, Chicago. We’ve got an old favorite in The Ataris coming to town Friday night, with an Orwells homecoming in April.
Without further ado, let’s get to the music. Starting us off are Sunny Gicz and Gabe Niles, aka Sunny & Gabe, a Virginia duo that varies from a hazy overcast to a strong trip hop pounding bass. They’ve got a mixtape called “Free Candy” that’s available for download now. Expect new music soon from these two.
Sunny & Gabe – Godzilla

Stay tuned for a full review of Oxymoron in the upcoming week.
