2. The Neighbourhood ft. Casey Veggies & 100s - "Jealou$y"

The Neighbourhood's debut mixtape #000000 & #FFFFFF is coming out this summer, and this week the band shared the idea-packed "Jealou$y," featuring Casey Veggies and 100s. Download here.

3. Vince Staples & Bad Rabbits - "Made"

Converse continues to bring cool people together to make music. In preparation for their second compilation EP, CONS Vol. 2, due later this year, Converse shares Vince Staples and Bad Rabbits' collaborative single, "Made." The pairing of a rock/R&B band and a rapper like Vince Staples is surprising, but works well on this funky track.

4. Collarbones - "Atlantis 2014"

"Atlantis 2014" is skittering, bass-filled title track from Collarbones’ recently released Atlantis 2014 mixtape. Check the song out below, and download the entire tape here.

5. Locke - "O Boy"

Locke keeps with the mystery as she releases "O Boy," a song with skeletal production and hushed vocals. It's dark and foreboding in all the right ways.

6. Ace Cosgrove - "High 5"

Over upbeat production, Ace Cosgrove flexes his lyrical ability and pop culture knowledge (shout out to Riff Raff) on "High 5."

7. Murci - "Brandy"

Last time we heard from British producer Murci he was flipping an old Tyrese song into an alternative R&B masterpiece. This time he takes on Brandy and Mase and proves that his first stroke of genius wasn't just luck.

8. Tyga - "Real Deal"

The release of The Gold Album is near, and Tyga gives away another song. "Real Deal" sees the Young Money member get raunchy over hypnotic production.

9. Yasiin Gaye (Yasiin Bey x Marvin Gaye) - "Travellin' Man Pt. 2 (Distant Lovers Mix)'

Amerigo Gazaway releases another Yasiin Bey/Marvin Gaye mash-up that's done extremely well. Download "Travellin' Man Pt. 2"  here.

10. Audego - "Fractures"

Australian duo Audego prepare for their sophomore album Beneath the Static and the Low by giving away "Fractures," a subtle electronic pop song with a surprisingly wonky beat that even includes some scratching.

11. TCVVX - "Clocks"

The new wave of R&B artists looking to do things differently continues to roll in, and TCVVX is another new artist to keep an eye on. TCVVX moved from the suburbs of Pennsylvania to New York, and he's readying his self-titled debut EP. Check out "Clocks" here.

12. Boxed Vol. 2 Compilation

London club night and collective Boxed are dedicated to showcasing the best in instrumental grime music, and have dropped their second free compilation, giving away 20 tracks of the very highest quality music. And if you have no idea what instrumental grime is, don't worry, just hit play on Dark0's "Sweet Boy Pose" or Murlo's "Hydra" and get lifted by the colorful melodies and hyperactive beats.

13. Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - "Nuthin' but a G Thang (Metric's Summertime Bootleg)"

Make yourself a gin and juice and have Metric's Summertime Bootleg of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin' But a G Thang" playing while you're sitting poolside. It's summertime, motherfuckers.

14. Wiz Khalifa ft. Tuki Carter - "Won't Stop (Prod. Metro Boomin)"

Featured on Wiz Khalifa's 28 Grams mixtape, "Won't Stop," features Tuki Carter, and boasts standout production from producer of the moment Metro Boomin. Listen below and download the tape here.

15. Glass Gang - "Broken"

New York collective Glass Gang returns with the bleak "Broken," which paints a stark and harrowing picture for their listeners through the use of lots of reverb and washed out production.

16. JUDE. - "Jaded"

Florida duo JUDE. shared their second ever single this week, a song they wrote "when they were both really into Yeezus." Although Kanye's influence isn't clear, the moody and dramatic song is another step in the right direction for the band.
