WZRD (KiD CuDi x Dot Da Genius) – Brake
First release from Kid Cudi and his new rock project... WZRD. Doesn't really sound much different, I don't mind it, still very spacely like alot of MOTM 2. No doubt there will be mixed reviews, lets hope its more successful than Lil Wayne's rock stint.

One Room
If you thought The Weeknd was a mystery, this is next level. A really shit tumblr, 15-odd tweets and 2 songs on soundcloud is all that is known about 'One Room' or whatever it is. And this blurb:
Anyway, One Room has this excessively minimalistic, premature Illangelo/The Weeknd type of sound with one of the weirdest/indiest videos I've ever seen to go with it. I'm not entirely sure what to think of it just yet...
One Room - Wait by oneroom
One Room was born in the Lower East Side. Everyone
knows him but no one ever sees him. People say he grew up listening to
static on his radio and eating mix tapes. When he was 10 he taught
himself to play piano. They say he speaks every language and never
sleeps. They say the music was inspired by cold winters and hot summers.
They say it took him 20 years to make this music. They say it doesn’t
sound like anything else. They say it was made in One Room.

Drake: TAKE CARE (Album Stream/Review)
Thought I'd chuck up five songs off the album that everyone should listen to. 5 songs doesn't do anywhere near justice, you should really listen to the whole thing start to finish!!!!
Drake- Shot For Me (prod. by 40)
Wait till the beat drops. Out of nowhere. You'll love it. Pretty interesting lyrics. Classic 40 production (you'll here alot more of that).
Drake (feat. The Weeknd)- Crew Love (prod. by Illangelo, 40, The Weeknd)
Love this triphop/trance stuff. The Weeknd helped out on three other tracks in the album.
Drake - Marvins Room / Buried Alive (Interlude) (Feat. Kendrick Lamar) (prod. by 40, Supa Dups)
Kendrick's verse is something from another planet, and Marvins Room is one of the standouts on the album.
Drake- The Real Her (feat. Lil Wayne and Andre 3000)(prod. by 40, Drake)
Try decoding Andre 3000's verse...
Drake- The Ride (prod. by Doc McKinney, The Weeknd)
Some of the best lyrics off the album. Final track on the album, excluding deluxe tracks.
Extra: Drake- Look What Youve Done (Chase N. Cashe, 40)
I put this one up cause it has a real unique sample. It samples rehearsal footage of the late songwriter-producer Stephen “Static/Major” Garrett, as he works out “If U Scared, Say U Scared,”. This was the guy who featured in Lil Wayne's 'Lollipop', but passed away a couple weeks before Lollipop was released and went number one across the world. This is 40, the executive producer's favourite track off the album. Easily the most heartfelt song I'd imagine in Drake's eyes. Read more here from Sean Fennessey, an editor at GQ Magazine.
Overall, a more-than-impressive full-length LP which truly takes you on a trip into what goes on in Drake's head. At times towards the end he may lose our attention with the constant stripper banter ('Cameras', 'Practice'), but his brutal honesty in every track is what sets him apart from the large majority of artists out at the moment. Next, lets look forward to what his counterparts in OVOXO have for us, no doubt Drake will be hoping to create his own little click in the industry with the likes of ASAP Rocky, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar and his right hand man Noah '40' Shebib.

Ludacris – What U Smokin’ On (feat. Wiz Khalifa) (prod. Big K.R.I.T.)
Shit lyrics, but Big K.R.I.T comes through with the beat.
Mike Posner – Hey Lady (feat. Twista)
More keen on hearing these Pharrell Williams beats.
Hey Lady featuring Twista (prod. by Mike Posner) by mikeposner
B.o.B.- 5 On the Kush (feat. Big K.R.I.T. and Bun B)
This one's worth a download.
