Big Sean got quite a canvas from which to spit as Kanye West and DJ Mustard teamed up on the production side for "Sanctified", a soul-entrenched sample piece that has everyone's distinct skills on display. The talented duo of SaveMoney rappers Kami De Chukwu and Joey Purp dropped a new track, "Dat Strong" as their alias Leather Corduroys (what is hotter than a pair of leather corduroys?) which premiered on Fader.

[Songs on the Day] 2/18/14 (Feat. Chief Keef, A-Villa, My Chemical Romance & More)

Tuesday was a good day. Chicago finally got above freezing for the first time in two months and a horde of music hit the Internet for our listening pleasure. Starting things off is Ty Money who linked with none other than Chief Keef for the hard work anthem, "No Hobby" while Jose Guapo and Young Scooter discuss all things green in "Cash Talk". BOY/FRIEND had a rousing entrance onto my personal radar with her track, "Eve" featuring Va$htie and Train Company offered up a new tune in "Step To Me". Producer got in on it as well, as Los Angeles duo BC Kingdom stabilize the dance aesthetics with their latest track in "DWN4U/JEEPS" and Chicago button-pusher A-Villa teamed up with Closed Session and the ever-talented Lili K for a rousing performance on "Smooth It Down" and Calez gave fans the first cut off his upcoming Ceito project with "Positive Energy". ShadowOnStars released a cover of Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" and both My Chemical Romance showed they still have it, dropping "Fake Your Death" to essentially announce the end of the band. Crystal Method also got a remix of their track "Over It" featuring Dia Frampton via the Bixel Boys. Check it all out below!
