James Blake Releases Pair of New Songs
James Blake took to his BBC Radio 1 show residency last night expecting to catch up with fellow British electronic artist Burial last night, and instead ended up dropping two new songs of his own. The 25 year old musician/composer gave fans a first listen at his latest, "40455," which is inherently Blake through and through with its linear, dark, growing instrumental lines and Blake's melancholy vocals. He also dropped a remix to Beyonce's "Drunk in Love" track with Jay Z, under his alter alias, Harmonimix. Check both tracks out, streaming below here.

[Video] Eminem Interview with Zane Lowe
BBC 1's Zane Lowe is increasingly becoming the de facto interview for post-release public relations, if you're face belongs on the hip-hop Mount Rushmore. Eminem followed in Kanye's footsteps, appearing for an in depth, sit down interview with the British show host. Ever an interesting guest, Eminem opened up about the pressure of calling his latest album The Marshall Mather LP 2, what it was like to work with Rick Rubin and his own forays into production before doing a live performance of "Berzerk" in studio with a band. For his part, Em jokes that peeing on the floor might be the only way to top Kanye, I'd say the performance was pretty convincing. Check it all out for yourself below.
