Florence + The Machine – Spectrum (Maya Jane Coles Remix)

One of our favorite newish producers Maya Jane Coles dials up Florence’s latest “Spectrum”, creating for a nicely tipped ethereal glide all throughout the track. Definitely not a mix or producer or to sleep on.

Florence + The Machine – Take Care (ColeCo Remix)

florence

Flo’s cover of “Take Care” that she put down last week for Radio 1 is awesome. We have here a pretty dope remix of that cover done by Canadian duo ColeCo. It’s a remix of a cover, of a sample of a remix, of a Gil Scott-Heron (R.I.P.) song. Got that? Don’t miss this track.

Elle Varner – Only Wanna Give It To You (Feat. J. Cole)

ellevarner

At b3sci, if there’s one thing we love it’s cheesy pop & b. Elle Varner’s “Only Wanna Give It To You” is a class example of that genre. With a melody that sounds ripped out of a late 90’s Brandy song and a heavy little 2 step beat, “Only Wanna” will no doubt get you and your boo hyped. Also….. the track’s got a J. Cole feature on it, and with the roll Jermaine’s been riding, that alone is reason to listen. Fortunately for Ms. Varner it’s not the only one.

J.Cole – Mr. Nice Watch (Feat. Jay-Z)

j-cole

Awwww shit. Words like “BANGER” “FIRE” “JAM”, etc get tossed around WAY TOO MUCH. “Mr. Nice Watch” is a banger. “Mr. Nice Watch” is fire. “Mr. Nice Watch” is MEGATON JAM. Produced by J. Cole. Cole World: Sideline Story, Sept. 27. No more Mr. Nice Watch.

J. Cole – Neverland

j-cole

“Neverland” comes to us via the latest installment of Cole’s “Any Given Sunday” series. (A series of free Sunday content drops all leading up to the release of Jermaine’s debut LP Cole World on Sept. 27.) “Neverland” knocks pretty hard. I think most MCs would be pretty jazzed to have a track like this, so the fact that the song is an outtake….Awww naw! Cole World.

J. Cole – Bring ‘Em In

template-2panel revised [Converted]

Round 2 of J. Cole’s “Any Given Sunday” EP series yields “Bring ‘Em In”. A track as Cole World explains was “Made this in ATL during the “single hunt” phase. Even though it wasn’t a single and won’t make the album, I love this shit!”. Yeah, we love this shit too.

J. Cole – Can’t Get Enough (Feat. Trey Songz)

colesongz

On about my 20th play in a row of this. Can’t. get. enough. literally. Cole is on some kind of run right now. Our man is peaking at just the right time. Cole World is going to kill and J. Cole is going to be a massive star. “Can’t Get Enough” rips just about anything on hip hop radio right now. …And on top all that, the track’s got Trey Songz! You know we fuck w Mr. Steal Yo Girl. Cole World is due Sept. 27.

Open wide, here comes the heater. Think we’ll be hearing a lot of more of “Bad Girls Club” on hip hop radio over the next couple months.

XV – Watch Me Go (Prod. J. Cole)

Grade A shit via XV. The Wichita rapper works it over a soulful uptempo J. Cole beat. Look for Cole to continue to be more and more sought after as a producer; dude crafts what seems like nothing but heaters.

Wow, just, wow. Again. The way she glides over those falsetto notes in the chorus. Mindblower.
