Big Boi by Virgil Solis

[Songs Of The Day] 1/27/14 (Feat. Big Boi, Blood Orange, Imagine Dragons and more)

With the Grammys come and gone and it is with Macklemore as the new-minted golden boy of hip-hop that we bring you a bevy of music that followed the perennially-disappointing award show  on the Internet and beyond today as the race began for the next batch of gold gramophones.

Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons got things started at the actual show as they debuted the remix to "Radioactive" which they performed together last night. Big Boi stoked the flames of the already incendiary talks of his and Andre 3000's reunion after being on hiatus since the 2006 film Idlewild as a mash-up of Big Boi, Phantogram and Sade dropped, titled "CPU 2.0". British producer Blood Orange's "On The Line" received a remix from Star Slinger and we have the latest from a pair of up and coming Chicago artists as Joel Quentez offers up his talented "Moment of Truth" while Sterling Hayes and THEMpeople make up for a super collaboration on "Monae". Check out all the latest to hit the 'net streaming here below.

[Album] Blood Orange: "Cupid Deluxe LP"

Blood Orange is certainly an act to know in today's musical environment. Never one to tune into the traditional genre lines, Blood Orange (Dev Hynes) is as unexpected as ever on his latest release, set to follow the initial stream - on November 12. Below is one of the previously released singles from the project, "You're Not Good Enough" and stream/pre-order the full album via iTunes.
