New T.I. - Sorry (ft. Andre 3000)


A new single from T.I. may not be huge news, but anything that Andre 3000 steps into makes it huge. His guest verse on the Atlanta rapper's newest single "Sorry" is second-to-none, as usual, which makes us wonder just when he'll step out of Gillette territory and get back to what we're still all waiting for.

Check the single out below and grab T.I.'s upcoming album Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head December 18.

Mikky Ekko - Pull Me Down (Ryan Hemsworth Remix)


Producer Ryan Hemsworth is a name you should be becoming more familiar with. He's dished out welcomed remixes of heavy favorites from Grimes and Frank Ocean, splitting the difference between menial pop difference maker and new wave producer. He's new remix of Mikky Ekko's "Pull Me Down" was originally a Clams Casino track, so the remix adds even more atmospheric texture to a lofty pop-friendly track. Check it out below.

New Tanlines video - Not The Same

New Local Natives video - Breakers

The first video from Local Natives long-awaited sophomore album Hummingbird for "Breakers" has premiered. Jaffe Zinn and the band itself directs the video, playing with odd time frames and particular imagery. You can check it out below and grab Hummingbird January 29.

Majical Cloudz - What That Was
