Every Sunday we collect the best free music we can find and put it all in one place. If you fell behind or just feel like building up your iTunes, we've got you covered. Enjoy.
This week is the very rare narwhal edition. National Geographic once called them "freaks of the ocean." We prefer "unicorns of the sea."
1.Major Lazer x Popcaan x Baauer - "Talk 'Bout Me"
Major Lazer promised a three volume set of freebies in compensation for the delay of Free The Universe, and they delivered volume two this past week. Check out a new mash-up, featuring Major Lazer, Popcaan, and Baauer, below.
2.Shadows on Stars - "Little Bit" (Lykke Li Cover)
The Portland duo dims the lights on one of Lykke Li's best known tracks.
3.Doe Paoro - "Born Whole (Zebra Safari Remix)"
Zebra Safari puts their trap-leaning spin on Doe Paoro's "Born Whole," transforming it into a looming, haunting thing.
4.Ibn Inglor - "track 1"
Ibn Inglor releases more of that menancing, brooding rap. It might only be a mere minute-and-a-half in length, but it's got us even more excited about the young MC.
5.iamforest - "Driven Out"
Some late night music courtesy of iamforest, who hails from Vancouver, British Columbia.

6.Bishop Nehru - "Lemon Grass (Prod. MF DOOM)"
16-year-old Bishop Nehru continues to impress us with his latest mixtape, Nehruvia, featuring production from industry veterans like J Dilla and MF DOOM. Check out "Lemon Grass," the track that MF DOOM produced, below.
7.Conner Youngblood - "Vegas"
Despite being titled "Vegas," the latest from Conner Youngblood is a slow-building song that showcases his dreamy vocals. With its release, Conner also suggested that perhaps for his next track, he'll do it "entirely with an orchestra of accordions and bagpipes." He might be joking, but we wouldn't complain if he did dabble with bagpipes.
8.ETC! ETC! & Brillz - "New Jack Swoop"
Damn son, where'd you find this?
9.Ghostface Killa - "The Sure Shot (Parts 1 and 2)"
Ghostface Killa released a track off of his forthcoming album Twelve Reasons to Die, due April 16, and it's got us looking forward to the project.
10.MeLo-X - "God Magic"
MeLo-X shared the first cut off of his forthcoming GOD:LoFi EP, and "God Magic" is an introspective jam with solid production.
