Jeff Koons at Fondation Beyeler

Being in Basel this week its very fitting that Jeff Koons is currently having an exhibition at the legendary Fondation Beyeler. So far any art fans in the Basel area, this is not one too miss. I'll take this as a minor compensation for missing all the high value art transactions that took place in Art Basel this weekend.

Today's Track: Penis Power [ƱZ x L☮LGURLZ Remix]

 ƱZ and L☮LGURLZ have been getting a lot of internet buzz with their dope trap tracks that they have been releasing. Both of them doing a remix together of 5skinAndBone5 - Penis Power can mean only one thing -  it will be a banger, so make sure you blast this on your speakers.

DOLOR - XXYYXX

We've been following XXYYXX ever since his first release. I don't need to give you any more info about him except that he makes dope beats and that he just released a 2 track album on his bandcamp which is available for free. Enjoy.

Joey BADA$$ - 1999

Here's something I've been listening to all week (as was the rest of the crew). '1999' is Joey BADA$$' debut mixtape that really took me back to what seemed like the golden era in rap music. This talented 17 year old rapper is real decent on the mic and has a knack for choosing dope beats to rap over: J Dilla (RIP), DOOM and Statik Selektah to name a few. While obviously very reminiscent of Stones Throw rap music from the turn of the new millennia (due to the selection of beats), he just makes it sound like he was there in a way that my mastery of the English language will fail to explain in coherent words. Remember this kid is 17. He was 11 when we lost Dilla. I therefore, urge you to give it a listen and see if you agree with me.

Vanity - Early Morning

Lately we've been getting a lot of tracks to our inbox. Every once in a while we get something that stands out from the rest. This time Vanity, an 18 year old from Leicester, caught my attention with his 'Early Mornings' track. This ambient,chilled out 2-step/Garage track has been playing on repeat all day. I would really like to have this track on my iTunes so I suggest you go over to his facebook page and give it a like as he will be giving it away when he reaches 500 likes.
