Joe Budden – Put It Down (feat. Lil Wayne & Tank) (prod. T-Minus)
This deserves a post simply because Lil Wayne has finally put some effort into a verse. He was losing the plot pre-Dedication 4, I actually don't mind D4 though, the familiar instrumentals make it easy to listen to, and Wayne seems to be able to compliment them well. T-Minus on the boards on this Joe Budden track... starting to sound a little repetitive (She Will, Swimming Pools, Underground Kings) but then again he's just crafting a catchy sound.

Frank Ocean- Pyramids (Video) + Live Performance
One of the best videos I have seen this year.
Frank Ocean - Pyramids - SNL 9-15-12 by IdolxMuzic
For a while now I have completely forgotten his affiliation with Odd Future, simply due to his extreme professionalism in everything he's executed over the past 2/3 months. From his painfully honest Tumblr note to his live performances, subtle-yet-meaningful album cover, Channel Orange itself... and finally, a touch of Odd Future jokingly awoke me from that awestruck trance you can't help but fall into around about 4.23... those Tyler eyes are messed up.
Bonus: Frankie takes over the SNL stage with John Mayer, performing "Thinking About You" and "Pyramids". Impeccable performances.

A$AP Mob - Lords Never Worry (Mixtape Feature)
Straight up, this won't be for everyone. I personally love this music, I can't get over how brash, confident, reckless a group of young and upcoming artists can be... they pull it off aswell. With A$AP Rocky as the ringleader, the A$AP Mob deliver a wide variety of trill-hop tracks ranging from A$AP Ferg's trap hit 'Work' to the drugged up, almost pulse-less A$AP Rocky/Jim Jones collar 'Freeze'- respiratory depression is only a couple sips away.
Each member has their own unique flow, all present-day off-cuts of that old school Bone Thugs n Harmony delivery. However they all do share one common value, a big motherfucking ego. Entertaining throughout the entire mixtape. Maybe the biggest is A$AP Nast's, listen to Bangin' On Waxx.
Ironically, this music manages to calm me down, for some it may encourage riot-like behaviour. I guess everyone interprets music differently. Regardless, give it a listen, think of it as a warm-up to A$AP Rocky's debut LP LongLiveA$AP which drops on Halloween.
FAVOURITES:
Full Metal Jacket (Feat. A$AP Rocky, A$AP Twelvyy, Da$h, A$AP Ant, A$AP Ferg & A$AP Nast)
Bangin On Waxx (Feat. A$AP Ferg & A$AP Nast)
Bath Salt (Feat. A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ant & Flatbush ZOMBiES)
Purple Kisses (Feat. A$AP Rocky)
Persian Wine (Feat. A$AP Ferg)
