Thundercat feat. Smino and Guadpdad 4000 - "Dragonball Durag (Remix)"

Smino and Guapdad 4000 add bars and new melodics to a slight recalibration of Thundercat's wonky and wonderful It Is What It Is single.

Jyoti (Georgia Anne Muldrow) - "Fabus Foo Geemix"

A G-Funk-leaning gem from Georgia Anne Muldrow's new jazz-fueled album, Mama, You Can Bet!, released under the moniker Jyoti.

Sango - "Kalimba Funk"

Just a few days after dropping a new tape, Sango announces the fourth installment of his hallmark Da Rocinha series with a shot minimalistic baila bounce.

Horatio Luna - "Boom Boom"

Horatio Luna builds the case for an acid house revival with a driving four-to-the-floor shuffle, warm cascades of rhodes keys and a warbled bass groove, on this footwork-friendly loosie.

Black Thought feat. Pusha T, Killer Mike, and Swizz Beatz - "Good Morning"

Black Thought wrangles rap's upper-echelon for a standalone shot of elite wordplay, featuring steel-toed production from the mighty Swizz Beatz.

Vic Spencer feat. House Shoes - "Callooh Callay"

Adding on to a year stacked with stalwart mixtape drops, Vic Spencer returned with another neck-aching specimen this week, teaming with Sonnyjim on Spencer for Higher 3. Hear him glide over a twangy (and increasingly rare) House Shoes loop on one of the project's standout cuts.

India Shawn feat. Anderson .Paak - "Movin' On"

Anderson .Paak makes his directorial debut (and contributes a few bars) to a bubbly anthem of renewal from India Shawn.

Ruth B. - "Dirty Nikes"

Ruth B. hits a tender chord on a smokey and sobering breakup ballad.

Fana Hues - "Notice Me"

Fana Hues provides a hazy and break-heavy introduction with her debut single.

Yves Jarvis - "Semula"

Yves Jarvis warms the water for the release of his new album with another wave of ambient-and-folk-soaked r&b.
