Joey Bada$$ & Pro Era f/ Capital STEEZ & CJ Fly "Like Water"

Before dropping its PEEP: The Aprocalypse mixtape today, the Pro Era crew got the hype going with the Joey Bada$$-fronted highlight, “Like Water.” On a piano and scratch-filled track from producer Statik Selektah, Joey trades verses with Capital STEEZ and CJ Fly. The cut expertly merges the old and new and it proves yet again why this voice, one of the youngest in the game, is worth looking out for.

DOOM "Doomsayer (Young Guru Remix)"

Today saw the surprise return of DOOM; not JJ DOOM, not MA DOOM, not Madvillain, not DANGERDOOM, but DOOM. Viktor Vaughn’s revival came in the form of “Doomsayer,” a sly, sample-heavy, classic DOOM track. The cut is actually a remix by Young Guru, but apparently it’s meant to stand alone. There’s no word yet on what, if anything, DOOM has planned for the cut, but it’s plenty to hold us over for now.

Jhene Aiko f/ James Fauntleroy "Wrap Me Up"

Los Angeles songbird Jhene Aiko was apparently feelin' festive and decided to drop a brand-new track, "Wrap Me Up." It's equal parts bear hugs and egg nog, what with its references to warm embraces and Christmas classics. And that Tae Beast production? Glorious. Now, if we only new when her Souled Out album was dropping...

A$AP Rocky "Long Live A$AP"

Not Available Interstitial

A$AP Rocky's taking the LongLiveA$AP leak in stride and keepin' it moving. Case in point: The release of the damn-good, hazy-as-hell opening/title track. The Harlem spitter splits his time between melodic sing-song and straight-up bravado as the Rico Love and Jim Jonsin crushes the earth beneath him.
