The easy, deep in the pocket, cruise control flow of Chicago emcee Mayo is a well-matched complement to the breezy smooth production of Mad Decent’s Man in Hawaii Mr. Carmack. We need more. (IS)

The Big King Remembered In Time grabs the BIGGEST executive Def Jam’s ever seen, noted character actor Rick Ross for the silky smooth low-ridin of “New Agenda”. The first entry in K.R.I.T.’s “Week of K.R.I.T.” which will feature seven days of new and unreleased material from the Mississippi rapper. Boss Ross could body a mid-tempo beat like that on “New Agenda” in his (we’re imagining very expensive) sleep and he does well to play laid-back foil to KRIT’s more methodical on-the-1 flow.

Grand Rapids MI’s A-Team of emcee Willie The Kid & producer/rapper Bronze Nazareth link up for a 13-track collaborative album The Living Daylights due out Tuesday the 11th. The Roc Marciano-featuring “Avalon” interpolates the same David McCallum “The Edge” sample that Dr Dre used on “The Next Episode”.

Birthed straight from the head of the indie zeitgeist, megastar Ellie Goulding and mega-twitter user Angel Haze team for a visceral, spaced-down very good cover of James Blake’s “Life Round Here”.

NYC’s highest FlyLo stan (guessing) Smoke DZA takes to Until the Quiet Comes instrumental “Getting There” and clocks through a solid run of bars doing well to smoothly navigate the tricky beat. “Just My Thoughts” is taken from Steve-O’s “We Are Alive #7” podcast coming out next week.

Team Disclosure turns rap for their latest production project, collab’ing with NY newcomer Bishop Nehru for the space age boom bap of “You Stressin'”. And while of somewhat of the School of J Dilla in sound, the Disclosure style does translate well here while still sounding like, well, Disclosure. Mr. Nehru does well too here; seemingly able to flow effortlessly on top what could be a difficult track stylistically for a lesser MC.
