Another gem was just spotted on the boards, and this time it's Santogold, M.I.A., and Gorilla Zoe collaborating on this Radioclit produced track, "Get It Up." The song was recorded last year and appears on Diplo's "Top Ranking" mixtape. Zoe's verse is a sample from his song "Hood N*gga," and once that part is out of the way the song flows really well.

The first installment of imeem's "Keys To The City" series sets its focus on the D.C. area as hosted by mic slayer Wale. If you have already listened to the "the mixtape about nothing" Wale dropped today, you'll agree he deserves the shine. Check it out as he introduces you to artists and music videos from his hometown and stay tuned for the next installment which will be centered around our home town of Philadelphia. It may not be for a month or two but the Philly edition will feature music and interviews with Diplo and The Roots, to name a few. Shout out to Will for sending this to us.
