Paak’s “Oxnard” is awesome. Our favorite from the album is one of the record’s more midtempo cuts, the J. Cole-featuring “Trippy”. Those ooh ooh harmonies!!

Fresh off the release of J. Cole’s 4th studio album, 4 your eyez only, Cole drops the mic on his latest released track “High for Hours”. The song is a slow jam which helps the listener really focus on what Cole has to say. Strategically released on Martin Luther King Day, Cole delves into his own mind about racism, religion, and politics. This is truly a deep track and a great way for J. Cole to start 2017.
Happy new year from B3. See you in 2017. Thank you for reading and listening.

Fresh voiced Nicole Millar debuts the hazy warm beauty of new slow tempo-er “Fall”. Excerpted from a forthcoming (as of yet untitled) EP, “Fall” amounts to a really lovely and engaging bit of beats-driven vocal pop. Particularly special for the Australian Ms. Millar are those more ethereal breathy notes that seem to effortless breathe out of her (and with the track).

The Mighty Misun give summer it’s proper start; dropping TODAY (the summer solstice!) a new 10 track EP of summery bootleg re-fixes of their biggest tracks. Mixed by Cousin Cole & main Misun producer Nacey, the duo fit the great Misun vocal melodies over classic bits of soul, pop & dub. You can sample all 10 sun-drenched boots here.

Epitomising the DIY ethic with catchy lo-fi pop music constructed out of clap-happy drum loops, xylophones and circuit bending waggishness, Crash & The Coots present their first EP John Coles Park. Deciding to release a limited run of cassettes (via Heart Throb Records) and by taking their name from a computer animated fox from the 90’s, you would be forgiven for thinking they had just woken from a 15 year long coma, however this promising debut suggests otherwise, fusing unconventional pop sounds and structures with all the funk and punk of an LCD Soundsystem record. You may be pleased to hear that it will also be released in the slightly more convenient digital format on October 29 (via Once Upon A Time) and in the meantime you can help yourself to a free download of “Brian Fury Wins! (Alternative Version)” from the band’s soundcloud below. By Nathan Hetherington

DJ Khaled dropped three not one, not two (crazy Khaled), but THREE new tracks from his upcoming Kiss The Ring LP on Funkmaster Flex’s show tonight. The J. Cole-produced Kendrick and K.R.I.T.-featuring “They Ready” is the easy standout of the trio. Get a sample below. p.s. Khaled you misspelled K.Dot’s first name on the single artwork. K-E-N-D-R-I-C-K.
