2. Mr Flash ft. Action Bronson, Cities Aviv & Oh No - "Number One"

French producer and Ed Banger Records (Justice, Feadz, Mr Oizo) OG Mr Flash is releasing his debut full-length album on June 2. One of the very best tracks from the album, "Number One," sees Action Bronson, Cities Aviv, and Madlib's brother Oh No spitting over a rich beat that includes live strings and a great vocal sample.

Download from Soundcloud here.

3. Nicki Minaj ft. Soulja Boy - "Yass Bish"

Naysayers be damned, as Nicki Minaj is back with some fiery verses on "Yass Bish" alongside Soulja Boy.

4. Dream Koala - "Saturn Boy"

French-born, Berlin-based Dream Koala takes listeners floating into far-flung galaxies with his beautiful combination of delicate vocals and crisp guitar. "Saturn Boy" is another great track from his new EP Earth. Home. Destroyed., out now.

Download "Saturn Boy" via Facebook here.

5. 2Chainz ft. A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross - "Crib In My Closet"

While he works on B.O.A.T.S. III, scheduled for release this year, 2Chainz dropped a new seven-track EP. Features come from A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla Sign, Rick Ross, and Lil Boosie, while there is production from MikeWillMadeIt, 808 Mafia and Honorable C.N.O.T.E.

Listen to the tape below, with the highlights being "Crib In My Closet" and "Wuda Cuda Shuda." Download form LiveMixtapes here.

6. Arkon Fly - "4 My People"

Arkon Fly's fun "4 My People" takes the duo's signature soulful house sound to the carnival. Impressively, this is all live vocals and played on instruments—no sampling here.

Download from Arkon Fly's website here.

7. Allie X - "Bitch"

Allie X's "Bitch" takes the bright synth-pop sound that so many artists are doing right now into dark, distorted territory. There are still some immediately catchy parts, but the weirdly twisted elements make this song stand out from the crowd rather than just settling in to the background.

8. Lil Silk ft. Michael Christmas - "Problems"

Lil Silk links up with Is This Art? rapper Michael Christmas for "Problems," and the two eccentrics shine on the hypnotic track. Grab Lil Silk's solo track "I Know" below, too.

UPDATE: "Problems" and "I Know" are no longer available to download, but you can grab "My Legacy" free instead.

9. Lipgloss Twins - "Wannabe"

The PC Music family keep hitting us with music that sounds like nothing else out there. Whether it's Hannah Diamond, A.G. Cook, or Lipgloss Twins, the collective takes the high-sheen and sticky hooks of the most commercial of pop music and swirls it around in a colorful mess of electronic beats and rainbow synths.

"Wannabee" seems like a sly takedown of consumerism and the power of advertising, with lines like, "I just want to fit fit fit fit in, to that thing," followed by the names of various brands. But who knows, maybe it's all just a bit of fun.

10. Kill J - "Bullet (Oceaán Remix)"

Super-talented British producer Oceaán flips Kill J's "Bullet," taking things in a dark, moody direction and adding his own vocals too.

11. Young Jeezy - "Me OK"

Young Jeezy returns from a lengthy hiatus from solo work with "Me OK." Hopefully this points to more new material in the near future.

12. Sam Smith - "Stay With Me (MSSL CMMND Remix)"

MSSL CMMND's flip on Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" transforms the soulful ballad into a gorgeously smooth and pulsating electro R&B jam.

13. A-Trak & Lex Luger's EP 1 as Low Pros

Seven tracks of beats with a lot of low end courtesy of A-Trak and Lex Luger, and guest appearances from Young Thug, Juvenile, Que and more make this an essential download if you're trying to turn up.

Download the whole EP here.

14. Wrestlers - "Say Anything (RAC Remix)"

André Allen Anjos of RAC takes the already upbeat vibes of Wrestlers' "Say Anything" and turns the song into a bouncy, smooth summer jam.

15. Billie Holiday - "Strange Fruit (Tricky Remix)"

Bristol trip-hop legend Tricky was quiet for a minute, but came back strong in 2013 with his album False Idols. Currently in the studio working, he decided to give away five tracks, two of which are totally new. The best though, is the previously released remix of Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit," a hauntingly excellent rework that you should grab for free immediately.

According to Tricky's website:

He wanted to let like-minded people hear these tracks that otherwise would have stayed locked in a vault. When asked why he was giving them away, he said, “Just because I can, and it’s just for love."

16. Young Thug & Skooly - "Every Morning (Prod. Metro Boomin & 808 Mafia)

Young Thug and his trusted producer Metro Boomin come together again for the bass-heavy "Every Morning," which features Rich Kidz affiliate Skooly.
