[Songs Of The Day] 2/3/14 (Feat. Young Thug, Ellie Goulding, Big Boi & More)
And we're back for week two of our new daily feature on the site, "Songs of the Day". Starting February off on the right foot, we have a banger from Atlanta's Young Thug who demonstrates why he has the like of Kanye West raving about him, teaming up with Future and Rich Homie Quan for "Out My Face". We get a healthy dose of remixes once again, with re-workings of James Blake's "Life Round Here" from Ellie Goulding and Angel Haze, Rico Love showed off a packed lineup on his "They Don't Know" remix which features the likes of Ludacris, Trey Songz, Tiara Thomas, T.I. and Emjay. Robbie Brundell also tacks on his own rendition of Drake and Jhene Aiko's hit, "From Time". Australian EDM artist Will Sparks also delivers the first single off his upcoming, debut album in "Catch".
Hottest track of the day: Yasiin Bey, better known to the larger world as Mos Def, teamed up with a posthumous Marvin Gaye for what he calls "Yasiin Gaye" on this mash-up remix of Bey's 1997 track "Travelin' Man" and Gaye's 1971 hit "Inner City Blues" by producer Amerigo Gazaway. The track is infectiously soulful from beginning to end, making it our hottest track of the day.

[RH Photos] Pitchfork Music Festival 2012 Day 1
It rained. Then it stopped raining. Then it rained again. Then stopped. In between we had the first day of Pitchfork Music Fest 2012. Day one kicked off with performances by Chicago's Outerminds and Willis Earl Beal as well as A$AP Rocky, Big K.R.I.T., Clams Casino, Feist, Japanaroids, Dirty Projectors and more. See pics from day one below all taken by RH's Stefan Klapko.
Ludacris ft. Big K.R.I.T.: "I'm On Fire"
Dang, it is great to see Big K.R.I.T. popping up everywhere these days. It is also see Ludacris get on some smooth sounding southern sweetness with K.R.I.T. and not some Battle Of The Sexes wackness. These two linked up once in the past on the remix to K.R.I.T.'s track "Country Shit" which also included Bun B. "I'm On Fire" is great and gives me some hope on how this upcoming Ludacris mixtape is going to turn out.

Big K.R.I.T.: "Country S**t" (chopped and screwed)
Big K.R.I.T. took the underground by storm with his last mixtape, Big K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. The mixtape is getting a facelift via the legendary Michael 5000 Watts, who has created a chopped and screwed version for Meridian, Mississippi's hometown hero. The chopped and screwed version is set to drop on August 9th, and GFCNY also says that K.R.I.T. and Watts are working on an EP together. Here's a taste of the chopped and screwed fair in "Country S**t". Grab it below.
