// August 18th, 2010 // No Comments » // News

Being that we were pretty dormant on Monday, we let a lot of things sit in our inbox these past few days. One of those items is Perajok and Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape. Is it on par with his Can’t Tell Me Nothing mixtape. After one listen, I can say no. But it’s free and decent mixtape. So do your iPod a favor and download it below.

KiD CuDi | Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager Snippets

// July 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

KiD CuDi has release two snippets off his sophomore effort, Man On The Moon II The Legend Of Mr. Rager. Listening to both of the snippets CuDi is still on his emo-hop BS. Mojo sounds like a continuation of Man on the Moon I and Mr. Rager sounds like something left off of 808s and Heartbreaks. Not saying they are bad tracks, but the out of the few we’ve heard, Erase Me has grab our attention. Anyway check them out for yourself below.

KiD CuDi, Rostam Batmanglij & Bethany Contentino | All Summer [Audio]

// July 8th, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

As part of Converse short film series, KiD CuDi, Rostam Batmanglij (of Vampire Weekend) & Bethany Contentino (of Best Coast) were commissioned to make a song together. Considering the latter 2 artists play for alternative indie bands, the song is more in that lane. KiD CuDi is no stranger to rocking left field tracks though. – Converse
