Ced Hughes - Lights! (Prod. By Xaphoon Jones)
This is only the second song I've heard from Ced Hughes it's probably one of my favorite tracks that I've heard this week. He kind of reminds me of XV. This track will be off of his One Day We'll Wake Up project. Coming soon. Produced by Xaphoon Jones (of Chiddy Bang).

SeDrew Price - Gotta Have It All ft. S-U-Preme
This track is actually from 2008 and it's just a personal favorite of mine from SeDrew. No real reason for posting it other than the fact that it's awesome and I felt like everybody should check it out. Too bad he doesn't rap like this anymore. Always nice to hear somebody do Camp Lo's "Luchini" justice.

Jesse Boykins III - Way Of A Wayfarer (FreEP)
Jesse Boykins III first showed up on my radar when he was featured on Mickey Factz' Heaven's Fallout "mixtape" (quotations were necessary beacuse I feel like it was more of an LP but whatever). Since hearing him on "You Remind Me" I've been eagerly awaiting a solo project from him. Maybe he's dropped something since then, maybe not, but this is the first solo project I've seen him release. It's a short 6 track EP but it's a delightful 6 tracks. Think Andre 3000 on The Love Below, that's what it reminds me of. Well enough reading, go check it out.

Tracklist:
01. I Can't Stay

03. When You're Ready
04. Light To Dark

06. B4 The Night Is Thru (Afta-1 Remix)

The Dean's List - The Drive-In (FreeLP)
Boston-based collective, The Dean's List, released a free LP back in February of this year. I had "heard of" them but never actually "heard" them until today and I was just blown away. I love the lyrics, the delivery, the content, the production (the production is ridiculously good), and just the overall vibe that The Dean's List project in each song. This may have earned them a spot on next year's All-Freshmen team. Check them out.

Mathien - The Night I Was An Alpha Male
The Chicago collective led by Chris Mathien, released their first single from their upcoming album. Sounds a little like Mika in my opinion but that's not a bad thing. Here is an excerpt from their website:
"Merging calm, funky soul, rock, and a strong hip-hop aesthetic, singer-songwriter Chris Mathien (MAY-thee-in) conveys the passion of reggae and soul vocal stylings, the free experimentation of Parliament-Funkadelic Rock, while incorporating the unconventional hip-hop attitudes of A Tribe Called Quest and The Roots."
Make what you will of that.
