Not too long ago, Scott Mescudi dropped the debut single off his sophomore LP Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager entitled ‘Revoffev.’ Today some radio show in his hometown of Cleveland got the exclusive scoop of the new joint ‘Erase Me’ featuring none other than Kanye West.

G.O.O.D Music day Septemper 14. Dayummmmm!

Kid Cudi – “Erase Me” (Featuring Kanye West) radio rip

Previously: Kid Cudi – “REVOFFEV”

The title pretty much sums this up. Every now and then I’m gonna post some songs that I think really didnt get the recognition they deserved on a commercial level or in terms of blogspace.

Donae’o – “Riot Music” (Skream Remix): Funky House king Donae’o had 2009 on lock with tunes like Party Hard and Devil In a Blue Dress. He dropped his first album half way through 2009; which I thought was fire throughout. Track 1 on that album was called Riot Music and a few weeks after the album dropped, super-producer Skream came thorugh with his Skreamix. He kept Donaeo’s vocals, upped the tempo and added that quality Air-Horn sounding synth to the bassline. End result was deep.

Kano – “Get Wild” (Featuring Aidonia & Wiley) : Now this tune is relatively newish. Kano is coming back to the scene with his next official single since Rock N Roller. He dropped a new mixtape in March, created little buzz. Dropped this tune via his twitter earlier this month but again, it never really caught on. Boyz Noize came harrrdddd on the beat and Aidonia and Wiley do their thing on the hook. I think this song is sick. Get it. PRONTO.

Chiddy Bang – “Decline”: No introduction needed with Chiddy. Their just sick and in Xaphoon Jones, they have one of the best producers in the scene. This tune highlights his production ability beautifully. I’d love to know where this sample came from so if you know, holla please. In the meantime, enjoy this peach.

Consequence – Whatever U Want (G.O.O.D Music Remix ft. Kanye, Kid Cudi, Common, Big Sean & John Legend): I posted this tune in November! How it didn’t blow up/get released I dont know. Every GOOD music member featuring Hudson on this sick track bringing Four minutes and 6 seconds of G.O.O.D-ness. Seriously, this tune is so sick. Infact, if you get one tune out of all these. Get this one. I love it.

B.O.B – Fuck the Money (Featuring Asher Roth): Asher Roth is one of my favourite rappers. He teamed up with B.O.B on this mixtape track to go back-to-back over this deep Kanye beat. It probably didn’t blow up because it is, ONLY a mixtape track but damn, its sick.

If you’re a TrueToSound regular (which I hope you are!), you’ll have most of these. If not, get them asap.

Volume 2 coming in a few weeks.

I was meant to post this about 24hours ago, however I was prevented from doing so by some technical difficulties. However without further ado:

Now for some brand new KANYE. Yes you read that right. Kanye West is back with the lead single off his fifth studio LP Good Ass Job. Produced by S1; featuring Dwele, check out “Power” below.

Kanye West – “Power” (Featuring Dwele)

I’ll leave you with the official video for the wicked debut solo single for Big Boi; “Shutterbug”

Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty lands July 6.

Rapid, Ruff Sqwad Signee is giving his latest tune away free on his twitter. I’m not gonna lie, this tune is pretty damn good. The video is equally as impressive too. If all UK Hip-Hop was like this, we’d be chart-topping more often. Click for a DL link, catch the video below:

Next up; the ‘chart version’ of Kanye West and Mr. Hudsons ‘Anyone But Him.’ If you were a follower of this site from last year, you may remember we posted this track way before the album dropped towards the tail end of ’09. Its a top track, but this altenative version is even better. Apparently this is the one they’ll be using when it hits the radio on March 5. Stay tuned.

Mr. Hudson – Anyone But Him (Feat. Kanye West) Alternative Version

Previously: Mr. Hudson x Jay-Z – Forever Young Video

Haven’t posted in a while but don’t have too much news. Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye performed “Run This Town” on Jay Leno’s new show the other day and I quite enjoyed that. Although for some reason my internet has been so slow recently it took about 20 minutes to buffer. Anyhow, check it out here. Only other news is that Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart was released on Sunday. I got my copy then however it’s sold well over the week and has held the #1 spot on iTunes constantly since it’s release. You can buy that song here.

First up today Chubby Fingers have got a new dubstep remix out, this time of Bloc Party’s (arguably) best song, Banquet. I love the original but this is a good dubstep track. The decision to omit any vocals was a good one as the rhythm guitar in the background fits in well with the dubstep beats that Chubby Fingers have used. Check it out below.

Bloc Party – Banquet (Chubby Fingers Dubstep Boot)

There’s also some folk rock in the shape of Sandbox Astronomy. I like their sound – Personally I quite like the whole folk/acoustic rock sound and this fits the bill pretty well. Lost Languages, the first track on the album, was one I particularly enjoyed with its acoustic guitar throughout and some nice percussion and vocals, although personally I think the group would sound better if it was just the male vocals. It’s still good, I recommend you listen to them. Their album is free so if you like them you can get their album at the link below, free of charge.

There’s also a new Drake feature, apparently on Kevin Cossom’s track “I Get Paper.” Normally I’d leave Blik to post something like this however I’ve really warmed to Drake recently so I thought I’d give this a go. The song is not too bad actually – Some nice rapping from Drake although to be honest I think he could have made the song his own easily. I’ll also post up a tagless version of High Contrast’s remix of Kanye’s Flashing Lights. I’ve been looking for a tagless version of this for ages (nearly a year) and finally found one the other day. Has a tag for High Contrast’s first album I believe towards the beginning – Great remix though.

First up I heard Alexandra Burke‘s new song the other day. The song, “Bad Boys” is the first song off of Burke’s debut album and features Flo Rida and personally, I don’t think it’s as good as Lewis’ “Bleeding Love.” The critics are loving it at the moment and I personally quite enjoyed listening to it. I didn’t really enjoy the production at the beginning of the song though. The synth just doesn’t sound right to me and the constant left to right switching got annoying after a while. The song does get better as it goes on though and I especially liked the areas where there was more of a piano involved. The chorus does work very well and her voice isn’t overly processed – something to Alexandra’s credit. Flo Rida is obviously on the record for commercial purposes but he fits the quick beat quite well to his credit. You can preview the song on DailyMotion below.

Alexandra Burke – Bad Boys (Feat. Flo Rida)

Bad Boys is released 9th October. Alexandra’s album (TBC) will be released 26th October. Pre-Order it here.

Right onto some newer stuff. One artist who’s set to have a huge 2010 is Drake. Blik has previously gone on about Drake a lot, but I’ve only recently come round to liking him after being a bit unsure of him at first. It was probably his performance on that Young Money song “Every Girl” which brought me round to him – he stood out against the rest of the artists featured by a long way. Anyway a new song  has been leaked which is due to be off the soundtrack to LeBron James’s upcoming documentary. The song features the best of the rap world though – Kanye, Wayne and Eminem. I at first thought it had to be a mash-up as getting these 4 together on a track must have been hard work, although I understand LeBron James is quite popular in the US so they were all probably happy to feature. The song is called “Forever” and is extremely good. No autotune from Wayne either which gives it more brownie points. I really enjoy all the rapper’s verses and the hook from Drake is good as well. Can’t wait for his album, which is sadly expected in February 2010.

Drake – Forever (Feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem)

Forever will be released tomorrow. Make sure you get it.

The last track today is a remix of Shakira’s “She Wolf.” When i first heard this song nearly a month ago, I didn’t really enjoy it and thought it didn’t come close to “Hips Don’t Lie” – which I really liked when it came out. The song has grown on me a lot recently though and in particular, I lke the retro video which was shot to accompany the song. I’ll leave you with the official video along with the Villains & Calvin Harris remixes of the song which I enjoyed listening to.

She Wolf is out now in the US. Get it here. It is released on September 14th in the UK.

And that’s it. In other news Dizzee Rascal’s “Holiday” looks set to get the #1 spot at the weekend after finally being released. Only the radio edit is available at the moment, but if you want to help Dizzee you can get the song here.

Jay-Z – Run This Town (Feat. Rihanna & Kanye West)

Here is also the video for the Digital Girl Remix featuring Drake. Please don’t ask me why they changed the beat towards the end. Baffling decision if you ask me. Still, great song though ..

In other news. KiD CuDi full album tracklisting has surfaced. You can find that here. Really excited for that. Cop that come September 15th.

The official tracklisting for Jay-Z ‘Blueprint 3′ has surfaced. Have a look at that here. Excited for the J. Cole feature along with the Drizzy, CuDi and Hudson features too. Infact, I’m excited for the whole bloody thing. Peep that, September 11th.

Finally, Drake is re-relasing So Far Gone available to buy on iTunes. Bizzarely though, its only seven tracks long and there is a new track on there called ‘The Calm.’ Ensure to check back here for that when its released on iTunes.

This shall be my last post for a while. I’m off on my hols for a bit. Enjoy your summer and good luck to those of ya who get their results today.

Mr Hudson – Everything Is Broken (Feat. Kid Cudi)

Mr Hudson – Anyone But Him (Feat. Kanye West)

The Arctic Monkeys new single from their highly anticipated album ‘Hambug’ - out August 24, 2009, leaked just before it was meant to debut on Radio 1. Entitled Crying Lightning it shows the band advancing their skills into a more mature style which the vast majority of fans will love, its definitely worth a listen..

Arctic Monkeys – Crying Lightning

Now when i first heard about this track i almost cried, seriously… Two of my favourite artists from completely different ends of the music spectrum collaborate and the end product is nothing short of incredible. The new track from The Bloody Beetroots entitled Awesome features The Cool Kids spitting over a typically fresh Beetroots beat. Both artists seems to complement each other rather nicely and like i said before the end product is immense, listen to it…
