The emperor tamarin was named so as a joke due to the resemblance to, well, an emperor - specifically, German emperor Wilhelm II. Within a group of emperor tamarins, which are sexually mature at 16-20 months, the two oldest males and the oldest female responsible for reproduction.

2. Badlands - "Sleeping Beauty"

This is the first we've heard from Badlands, and it's a spectacular first impression.

3. Smallpools - "Dreaming"

Don't let the single art fool you; Smallpools' sound is anything but frightening. "Dreaming" is a relentless piece of pop that recalls Passion Pit's early days.

4. PARTYNEXTDOOR - "Wus Good/Curious"

Just like The Weeknd, Drake's OVO signee PARTYNEXTDOOR likes to keep things mysterious, but at least now we have a better idea of what he sounds like with his second offering, "Wus Good/Curious."

5. Gucci Mane ft. 2 Chainz - "Use Me"

Despite all his legal troubles, Gucci Mane is set to release Traphouse 3 on May 21. Here's a taste of what to expect with the 2 Chainz-assisted "Use Me."

6. Sunny & Gabe - "Clouds"

Looping the drums from Q-Tip's "Breathe and Stop," Sunny & Gabe's "Clouds" is perfect for summer lounging.

7. Four Tet - "Unspoken"

As Four Tet wasn't able to get clearance for Tori Amos' piano sample for the reissue of Rounds, he instead generously shared the original version of "Unspoken." Guess his failure to get the sample cleared is really just a blessing in disguise.

8. Gilbere Forté - "ANIGMA"

Gilbere Forté has been in the game for a while now, but he'll definitely have everyone's undivided attention with his latest release, Pray. Check out the high-energy, raucous "ANIGMA" below, and download the tape here.

9. Lana Del Rey - "Young & Beautiful (Panic City Remix)"

If you've listened to Lana Del Rey's contribution to The Great Gatsby soundtrack one too many times, it might be time to switch things up with this Panic City remix of "Young & Beautiful."

10. Young Wonder - "Time (Sert One Remix)"

Producer Sert One takes on Young Wonder's light, bubbling single, "Time," and injects mild hip-hop elements to enhance what's present in the original.

11. Silent Rider - "Skinny Love (Bon Iver Cover)"

Covering Bon Iver isn't an easy task, especially when it's a song as beloved as "Skinny Love." Luckily, Silent Rider pull it off, leaving their own mark all the while staying fairly faithful to the original.

12. The xx - "Unfold (BeazyTymes Remix)"

BeazyTymes is back with another xx remake. This time, Beazy takes "Unfold" and adds a bit of trap vibes.

13. Cam'ron - "Golden Friends"

Cam'ron samples the Golden Girls theme song for "Golden Friends." No, really - and Killa Cam merks it.

14. Big Black Delta - "Side of the Road (Joywave Remix)"

Joywave takes over Big Black Delta's "Side of the Road" and gives it some bouncy bass and a feel-good temperament.

15. Soulja Boy - "No Hook"

Soulja Boy released a mixtape only a short while ago, but he's back with yet another, this one titled King Soulja. Check out "No Hook" from the tape, and download it in its entirety here.

16. Kanye West - "Power (Party Supplies Remix)"

What is this, you ask? Party Supplies? Ambitiously remixing Kanye's "Power," turning it into this urgent thing, barely sampling the original? While it may be an oldie, it's sure as hell fitting considering that it's Yeezy Season.
