The Black Keys - Turn Blue

The  Akron duo recently released the second single from their upcoming album of the same name.  It's a lot smoother and more laid-back than what we're used to hearing from the Black Keys, but I like it.

The Boondocks Mixtape

Adult Swim's critically acclaimed show is back for it's fourth and final season, and, like in seasons prior, they've released another mixtape to go with it.  It's hosted by DJ Drama & Don Cannon, and the leading single features Killer Mike rhyming over a nice Alchemist production.

Via Rosa feat Jean Deaux - Magician

Via Rosa is part of the THEMPeople collective out of Chicago, and just released some nice new visuals for the single, "Magician" off of her new project - DeathViaLove

Tree - Godlike

Tree brings his dopest characteristics to the table with his scruffy, pained delivery, and the visual boasts no frills as he fingers the piano in between cigarette pulls, dressed like an extra from Reservoir Dogs.

Young Roddy - Route the Ruler

Young Roddy isn't the most outspoken rapper on Curren$y's Jet Life label, but he is one or the more talented, and has stayed fairly consistant with his mixtape releases.  He's back with another solid effort with appreances from Curren$y, Fiend and Smoke Dza.
