Diddy/Dirty Money: "Loving You No More" ft. Drake
Here's Diddy/Dirty Money's new single from Diddy's upcoming 5th studio album, Last Train to Paris. This is the final version that will be found on the album which is due out October 12 on Bad Boy and Interscope Records. Drake hops on the song a bit late to deliver a verse, other than that it's all Diddy/Dirty Money with that "electro-hip-hop-soul funk" sound that Diddy stated what the album would be going for.

J. Cole: "The One"
Ever been so good at something that nobody can compare? I haven't but maybe J. Cole can tell you what it's like. J. Cole drops a lyrical resume of a track, giving listeners solid line after solid line. J. Cole has impressed recently and this track is no exception. Can't wait to see what's next for the boy out of North Carolina. Download the track to below.
Laws: "Nothing Less Than"
I'm always excited for new material from Laws. He hops on Reflection Eternal's mixtape cut and fits in perfectly, tacking on a big verse that is characteristic of his prior work. That's a very good thing. Cop the track below.
Aleon Craft: "A Different World" Video
Here's the video for "A Different World" off of Aleon Craft's recent Stargazing Soundtrack mixtape. The video takes you into Aleon's "different world" or Decatur, GA. We get a look into how Aleon spends some of his time and what the social scene is like where he's from. As expected, it's got a southern feel, be it the moonshine in the glass jar or the food. Watch the music video below.
FloDeep: "Monster Music"
Collectively known as FloDeep, Marion Write, Nique, and Radio Ramone, showcase their skills on a monstrous track with each rapper spitting fire over a vicious Mr. Kooman produced beat. The three rappers, all out of Vegas, paint an almost overwhelmingly dark picture (and the track starts with a Charles Manson vocal sample). The track is on RefinedHype's first year anniversay compilation. Make the jump to download some fresh material from the Sin City crew.
Big Boi Announces Tour Dates
Big Boi has announced the official dates for his Son Of Chico Dusty tour. The tour starts at the end of August and will end in mid-November in Sydney Australia (weird because logically it's not the next place that comes to mind after Chattanooga, TN). Check out the dates below to see if he's making a stop near you.
QuEST: "If You Wanna" Studio Session
The song isn't set to drop until 6pm today but thanks to ImFlashy.com, we've got a brief look into the studio session, QuEST's thoughts on setting release dates (yes this relates to upcoming work), and even a little segment of the soon to be released track. Watch the video below and check out "If You Wanna" when it goes up later today.
Buff1: Ghosting
Everyone has their influences, be they influences on music or in life in general. Knowing someone's influences can provide insight or deeper meaning to an artists material. Ghosting gives listeners a look into what influences and inspires Buff1. All of the material was written in one week. Buff1 brings us 12 songs that he felt had room for him on them. The range in songs and therefore influences is impressive, ranging from The Beatles to the Jazz pianist Robert Glasper to Hudson Mohawke. Cop the compilation and check out the track listing below.
