The week continues to roll on and we continue to hold down the new music fort at the same time everyday. Today you’ll find selections from artists as distinct as Gucci Mane and The Flaming Lips, but pretty much everything on the playlist is respectable. Hit the jump for songs from those guys as well as a few others. The MP3 streams and download links are waiting for you…
SONG: “My Own Worst Enemy”
ARTIST: Gucci Mane
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Gucci addresses the ongoing conflict between him and Jeezy, but it’s less of a diss song and more of a glance at the details of the situation. Of course, you can download the track at the link above, but be sure to check out the exclusive Miss Info interview too.
SONG: “Bac Ya Boyz Down”
ARTIST: Freeway f/ Beanie Sigel & Jakk Frost
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Beanie’s chances of collaborating with Hov in the future are slim, but other (former) Roc members aren’t off limits. Here the Broad Street Bully links with Free for a cut off the Best Of Both Beards mixtape.
SONG: “Watching The Planets”
ARTIST: The Flaming Lips f/ Karen O
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• We’ve been rocking with this track for a minute, but it’s everywhere now thanks to just-released, controversial music video. You can watch it here, but understand that it’s very NSFW and it’s not just girls running around naked either. We warned you.
SONG: “Center Of Attention”
ARTIST: Wale
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Wale’s debut, Attention Deficit, dropped this week and it’ll be interesting to see if the positive response from the Twitterati translates to real sales. This iTunes bonus song offers some insightful commentary on our celebrity-driven culture and it doesn’t sound half-bad either.
SONG: “Dope Man”
ARTIST: Slum Village
DOWNLOAD: [LINK]
• Slum Village fans are in for a treat. The Villa Manifesto Digital EP and a full-length album of the same name are on the way. This is the first release from the set of projects.
