// Kanye West f. Beyonce & Charlie Wilson - See Me Now //
Yeezy appeared on the Angie Martinez show earlier today to do a little press and also premier a track from his yet-to-be-renamed 5th album. You may recognize some of the lyrics from one of the acapella joints he did during his Facebook tour. Lovin this dose of classic Kanye. Note: Still waiting for the CDQ...

This may not be a top shelf effort, but it's more than good enough for a mixtape. There's certainly no lack of snappy punch lines, which we can expect from Weezy and Drake. I don't know what it is, but there's something almost uplifting about this joint. They're definitely on...

I almost feel like I shouldn't have to write anything whenever I post something by Andre 3000... but that would be pretty lazy of me. Sounding every bit of the urban music everyman he's known as, Three Stacks gets whimsical over a soulful M16 beat. Short, but worth it.

// Cali Swag District - Where You Are //
Sampling heavily from Michael Jackson's "I Wanna Be Where You Are", the "Teach Me How to Dougie" hitmakers are back to take a run at being two-hit wonders. Their use of the early-MJ classic is a little too heavy for my liking, but they've got good taste - if you're gonna backpack off a legend, MJ is a good place to start.

// The Naked & Famous - Young Blood //
Recently storming the charts in their native New Zealand, The Naked & Famous' hit single is now tearing up the music blogosphere. With a sound not unlike Passion Pit, this electro-pop quintet could be ones to watch (esp. if they keep turning out stuff like "Young Blood").

// Penguin Prison - Little Secrets (Passion Pit Cover) //
Manhattan-based Penguin Prison's impressive remix work has gotten him plenty of buzz as of late, and it looks like he's ready to unleash his original work on the world. It's reported that he's putting the finishing touches on his debut album, but he took some time to lace us with this nicely mellowed-out version of Passion Pit's "Little Secrets".
