Swae Lee – "Dance Like No One’s Watching"
Swae Lee, my guy, we need to talk. You have one of the most distinctive and beautiful voices in modern pop music, capable of eerily hypnotic moonbeam melodies and chirping rap bars alike.

Public Enemy – “Public Enemy Number Won” (Feat. Mike-D, Ad-Rock, & Run-DMC)
We may have reached the point where we can forget all about Public Enemy staging a breakup hoax earlier this year.

Today, they’ve released their new album What […]
