Single: DāM-FunK - High 4 You

New, and very funked out, spaced out, bubbly track from Stones Throw instrumentalist and all around cool muthafucka, DāM-FunK..

This smooth and airy work that combines a unique west coast feel with Dam's increasingly signature sound is just what the doctor ordered...He's decided to drop it on our heads for free..

Single: Blu - The Clean Hand (prod. by Pete Rock)

More new Blu baby!

This guy is on some excellent shit lately and "The Clean Hand" is on that same tip, as the southern Cali emcee with the enigmatic work, recording and release patterns graces a pure banger from none other than The Chocolate Boy Wonder.

Apparently Pete and Blu have been collaborating lately and this man Blu sent this to PR over Twitter earlier.. And you guys still wanna hate on the tweets..
