New Music: Drake Ft. The Weeknd - Crew ♥
rake reps for his hometown of Toronto on The Weeknd-assisted “Crew Love,” the fourth track off his sophomore album Take Care (Nov. 15). He first heard the beat while on set of Nicki Minaj’s “Moment 4 Life” video in Los Angeles.
“I automatically thought of the city that I miss so much,” he said on Toronto’s Flow 93.5. “This record is just more about the OVOXO movement and just being proud to be from Toronto. When you go outside the city, just be proud.”
During his visit to the radio station, he confirmed that the album will feature Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, Nicki Minaj, André 3000, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Kendrick Lamar, and Chantal Kreviazuk.

The general aesthetics of the Air Yeezy 2 hasn’t really been a mystery, having since been seen a multitude of times on the feet of Kanye West. However, here is arguably the clearest look into the follow-up signature Nike sneaker from Yeezy. Seen in a black/pink colorway with a glow-in-the-dark outsole, the sneaker maintains some of the sensibilities of the original with a greater focus on textures and materials with a noticeably red-designed heel.

ASAP Rocky: "Bass" (Prod. Clams Casino) X Out Of This World
It's looking more and more likely that buzzing Harlemite ASAP Rocky will drop his long-awaited LiveLoveA$AP mixtape soon. The word on the hip-hop Internet streets is that we'll be hearing it on Halloween, which is Monday if you didn't know. It'd be a fitting release date for the rapper, whose approach leans toward the darker side of the hip-hop realm.
His latest leak, which is his second in as many days, is one of the grimier, NYC-leaning tunes we've heard from the South-loving spitter. Rocky and producer Clams Casino are on their East Coast shit hard here on "Bass," though, and maybe we'll be hearing more tunes like this on LiveLoveA$AP.

Karmin "Crash Your Party"

Reid and has already began recording for their debut album due out in 2012. Their debut single "Crash Your Party" features a sample from Black Sheep’s "The Choice Is Yours" and rapid-fire flows from Amy. It's cute for something being labeled Hip-Pop.
Lana Del Rey "Blue Jeans (Odd Future Remix)
Lana Del Rey's "Blue Jeans" used to be a flowing, nostalgic track. Not anymore. Syd Tha Kyd and Matt Martian, collectively known as The Internet, got behind the wheel and took this song into OFWGKTA territory. They left the vocals in tact, but the backdrop is much more Odd Future-ish.
