RAPPER DUOS WE’D LIKE TO SEE MAKE ALBUMS TOGETHER

4. Zoo Brother - "If I Could (You Would Know)"

It's hard to remember what feel-good indie rock is like sometimes, as the genre is so frequently plagued with heartbreak and despair. Zoo Brother's "If I Could (You Would Know)" is a fun and light-hearted offering, with tambourines and lovely harmonized vocals.

5. Big K.R.I.T. ft. Rick Ross - "New Agenda"

Big K.R.I.T. links up with Rick Ross for "New Agenda," with the two sharing boastful verses over Krit's own production.

6. Kaleida - "Picture You"

The girls of Kaleida are back, and the darkly-tinged "Picture You" is a great reminder of the duo's knack for alluring, sophisticated, genre-bending music. Download here.

7. 100s - IVRY EP

West Coast rapper 100s released his first mixtape, Ice Cold Perm, for free download. Since then he's been signed to Fools Gold, but now he's releasing another whole project, the eight-track IVRY, for free. Filled with more of 100s' x-rated stories and funky, laid-back beats, his music lies somewhere between classic Snoop and Too $hort.

Download the whole mixtape here.   

8. fwdslxsh - "4 U (Daktyl Remix)"

Layering sparkling electronic elements that gently build into an atmospheric, buzzing peak, Dakytl's remix of fwdslxash's "4 U" is perfect late night introspection.

9. Thief - "Closer (Weird Together Remix)"

Weird Together's tropical, infectious remix of Thief's "Closer" guarantees to put you in a great mood despite the melancholic lyrics.

10. Finnesse Gang 101 ft. Gucci Mane - "Money Do"

The group’s Finnessin The World mixtape drops March 19.

11. Misterwives - "Money on My Mind (Sam Smith Cover)"

MisterWives take on Sam Smith's "Money on My Mind," turning in a delicate rework of the original. There's something about Mandy Lee's voice that really suits the arrangement of "Money on My Mind."

“I WANT PEOPLE TO FEEL LIKE THEY’RE READING A DIARY”: SAM SMITH ON “IN THE LONELY HOUR,” UNREQUITED LOVE, AND BEING THE NEXT ADELE

12. Cozz - "Dreams"

L.A.-based rapper Cozz wouldn't call himself a "gangsta" rapper, but the angst in his delivery, the urgency in his delivery, and the no-nonsense production suggest otherwise.

UPDATE: It looks as if Cozz has just stopped this being a free download. If you're looking for a different style of rapping, check out British grime artist Wiley's Soundcloud page here where a new free track seems to appear every few days.

13. RL Grime & What So Not - "Tell Me"

RL Grime rarely disappoints, and his most recent work with What So Not, an atmospheric offering titled "Tell Me," is further proof of his talents. Grab the download in exchange for an email address here.

14. S. Ajay Ram - "Black Kids"

Aside from writing about the music industry's first impressions of Eminem and little-known Florida rap songs, Pigeons & Planes intern Ajay also raps. Props to Ajay!

15. 21 - "The Pink Bride"

21 shares his story about unrequited love using his fluid flow and intriguing delivery over some skeletal production.

16. BASECAMP - "ATSW"

BASECAMP pays tribute to Ace of Base and crafts a smooth, R&B-tinged cover of "All That She Wants," removing the original's slightly tacky, tropical elements completely.
