Young Jeezy – F.A.M.E. (Feat. T.I.) (Prod. J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)

jeezy-fame

The two Atlanta giants trade bars on top a tough new J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League beat. Jeezy’s seemingly forever delayed TM 103 is set to get yet another release date on Monday. Who’s taking bets that this won’t be when the album actually drops either. The Passion of the Jeezy. Tip, sounds re-focused, on this his first high profile post-prison feature. His rhymes are sharp and interesting and his more laid back delivery on the track complements Jeezy’s more manic verses.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Shine

benjaminfrancisleftwich

b3sci fav Benjamin Francis Leftwich returns with one of his catchiest tracks to date, new single “Shine”. The track serves as further example of Leftwich ‘s excellent sense of construction and restraint in melody, rhythm, and arrangement. Great tune.

Florence + The Machine – Shake It Out (The Weeknd Remix)

florenceshakeitout

Zane Lowe just dropped the premiere of The Weeknd’s remix of Florence’s latest single “Shake It Out” and now you can stream it live on b3sci. It’s moody, it’s ethereal, it almost sounds of a space age spaghetti western. It’s The Weeknd, it’s Florence, it’s b3sci.

Lana Del Rey – Video Games (White Lies Remix)

lanadelrey2

White Lies take every blogger’s fav pair of lips to The Factory circa 1981. The mix doesn’t really sound like Lana nor does it really sound like White Lies either, layer upon layer of analogue synths and drum loops. The result is a sharp sounding remix that would have even pissed Pete Hook cutting a serious rug.
