Frank Ocean is a gem I discovered last month thanks to my boys over at Hypstercult. If you aren’t familiar with Frank, you can read up on him by clicking here. Nostalgia, Ultra dropped back in February and has earned Frank some much deserved attention. It is, perhaps, some of the most refreshing music I have heard so far this year, I really like it. Not only are the vocals on point, but the lyrics have so much depth as well! I encourage you all to take advantage of the free download of the album. Just click the picture!
There Will Be Tears by Frank Ocean
Shuffering + Shmiling by Dead Prez feat. Fela Kuti, Jorge Ben Jor, Talib Kweli, Bilal & Positive Force
I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li
Always Love You by Theophilus London
Beautiful Skin by Goodie Mob







I love this song so much! Between the beautiful sound of jazz music and the beautiful sound of Mos Def’s singing, I’m in heaven.

I just discovered these renditions of Dilla beats a few weeks ago. I really like the way the songs Fall N Love and Players were broken down and electro-fied a bit. Very cool.
Players (Willy Sunshine Remix) by Feelin' Music
I really should open up to some new music!

I listened to EVERY single song and am currently in the process of downloading ALL of them! I really like your musical taste. Very eclectic. And you listen to music that isn't popular which I appreciate a lot. I'm inspired to start searching for underground music myself!!
