New J. Dilla - Detroit Game (ft. Boldy James and Chuck Inglish)


Even after death, guys like J. Dilla have so much unreleased material that it seems like they never really left. The newest cut, coming from the posthumous producer's upcoming Rebirth of Detroit release, features fellow Detroit alums Chuck Inglish and Boldy James on the aptly titled "Detroit Game." Check it out below.

New Frank Ocean - Pyramids


Rumors have been swirling that Frank Ocean's next LP, which as of yet doesn't have a confirmed title, will be released next month. "Pyramids," the newest track from Ocean, is expected with the July LP, tracks at nearly 10 minutes, surprisingly. Check out the monster single below.

The Alchemist - Flight Confirmation (with Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q)


Extraordinary producer The Alchemist has just released this first cut from next month's Russian Roulette, featuring Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q. The two-minute split rap smashes the two rappers alongside Alchemist's off-beat psychedelic samples. Check it out below.

Lollapalooza schedule, aftershow lineup released


With less than two months before Lollapalooza, the last stretch of the preliminary events has finally passed. Earlier today, the festival released their official three-day schedule, and their lineup of pre-Lolla and post-Lolla after shows. You can check out the listed shows here; FIDLAR & Delta Spirit is one I'm particularly excited for.

As for the schedule, we already knew which artists were playing on which days, but not at which particular times, so this is simply a clarification. As it is, the biggest obvious dilemma is Justice and Jack White closing Sunday night on opposite sides of Grant Park, which is a fairly big decision for a lot of us. However, because of the relative openness of the Sunday schedule, you have the opportunity to see either At The Drive-In and Florence+The Machine prior to the aforementioned acts with relative ease.

Outside of that, there have been more divisive schedules, but there are a few big decisions that will have to be made. Check out the schedule for yourself, here.
