Schoolboy Q, "What's the Word?"

This shit goes harder than a convict on a conjugal visit.

McKenzie Eddy, "Bees"

Potentially known from the recent Hip-Hop & Love tour with Murs and Tabi Bonney, the platinum songstress and president of Bluroc records (helped A&R the fantastic Blakroc album) laces some light-hearted guitar melodies with some beautifully quirky lyrics.  Her Young Platinum is available for free download.

Nomination #4 for Album Cover of the Year

Florence & The Machine cover Drake's "Take Care"

Two Florence & The Machine posts in one week?  When they're killin' it like this... absolutely.  On BBC 1's Live Lounge Special they tackle a Jamie xx-produced title track off of Drake's surprisingly excellent sophomore album, Take Care.

The Weeknd, "The Knowing"

From the best album I've heard all year, House of Balloons.
