B.o.B.: "The Kids" featuring Janelle Monae"
The Offspring told us the kids were not alright. The Who asked older folks to fade away, and for his effort B.o.B. enlists Janelle Monae to let us now that kids are running wild and nobody cares. The song follows up a tremendously strong amount of B.o.B. material to hit the web the week leading up to the release of his debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray. After hearing what I've been hearing, I feel it's safe to say that B.o.B.'s release will be one of the best of the year. It's an album that reminds me of Kid Cudi's debut in which B.o.B. really takes the listener to his realm, and thus creating a full listening experience rather than a collection of songs. Check out "The Kids" featuring Janelle Monae below.

Slakah The Beat Child: "Enjoy Yaself V2" featuring Drake Video
This showed up in my inbox yesterday along with a pretty detailed press released. Pressed for time, what really stuck out was "featuring Drake". Those PR people really know how to grab to. Given more free time I was able to actually sit back and watch the video, and it's pretty fresh. Drake's rhyme is on point and Slakah's subject matter, harmonies etc provide a breezy nostalgic vibe. See it below.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti: "Round and Round
I was on Hypem looking at tracks and actually clicked on a different song to listen to. I zoned out for a little while reading a pretty good article on Scott Storch, and "woke up" so to speak to the rhythms of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti's "Round and Round". I knew I had to have it post haste, and thus it's on the RH pages. I hope we've turned you on to a new group as well. Take a listen below.
