I find it so hard to make time to write this post these days, it’s the one post that takes me a few hours to write. I’ll kick start this week’s post with a new song from Scott Mescudi aka Kid Cudi. It features his mentor, Kanye West and it’s a rock-infused song. He’s so versatile and sensitive with his music and this is no exception, a rock fuelled radio friendly song. More after the cut.

When you read Kid Cudi (feat. Kanye), you’d expect a rap number like ‘Poke Her Face‘ but no, it’s a slightly poppy rock song. I’m not hating though, I love the track already. It’s definitely grown on me.

Kid Cudi teamed up 2 other artists for Converse. It’s dope and definitely perfect for the summer. I’ll be listening to it all summer.

Next up a few tracks from everyone’s friendly obese safety cop, Rick Ross. Maybach I and II were my tunes, both were EPIC to say the least. This latest jawn will take me a while to like but the instrumental is dope as always. Also got another track featuring everyone’s favourite rapper of the moment, Drizzy Drake. Also got another track with Kanyeezy!

P.S. that is Zoe Saldana on the cover of GQ UK. Rick Ross is too ugly.

My favourite UK rapper Kano is back with his latest single of his 4th album which is due in the Fall. I like this new direction he’s taking, reminds me of Plan B’s latest album minus the singing!

Some fresh new music from Ryan Tedder, lead singer/songwriter of OneRepublic. I’m liking the ‘Ice’ song, R&B fans will love it.

My favourite Korean singer Tae Yang just dropped his album and it’s ill. If you like Asian music then you’ll definitely love these 2 tracks. I’m not sharing anymore off the album.
