Dammit I can’t believe Duncan beat me to making the Frank Ocean post! Oh well, I guess the boy’s really got our attention this weekend and I’m not changing my mind on my banger.

Duncan’s favorite track off Ocean’s Nostalgia,ULTRA album might be American Wedding but mine would have to be We All Try.

The song has been on repeat all week and it already has a video too!

Listen to both Duncan and I when we say you gotta peak at this album!

HELLO CHIPS, Did you notice that we’re the only music blog that hasn’t mentioned Odd Future yet? (At least, not that I noticed). I figured I didn’t need to say anything, because every other site was posting about Tyler the Creator 200 times a day for a while there. Truth is I’m neither here nor there on Goblin, but what I want to talk about is Frank Ocean.

Frank Ocean – Acura Integurl

Frank Ocean is Odd Future’s resident R&B sanguh-songwriter. Since its release in February, Ocean’s “Nostalgia,ULTRA” mixtape has been one of my favorite releases of the year.

Frank Ocean – American Wedding

This is one of my favorite tracks on the tape. I think it keeps getting removed from Youtube because the Eagles sample isn’t cleared, but of course I recommend grabbing the mixtape, so you’ll hear it anyway.

It was offered as a free download on Frank Ocean’s website, but the link doesn’t work anymore. Amazon wants money for it, and a rerelease with fewer tracks is about to drop (again, sample clearing problems).

Get it off Bittorrent in the mean time, find it your damnnnnn self!

Young Galaxy – Cover Your Tracks

So besides being in a Blackberry Torch commercial, Diplo teamed up with Skrillex and has created some hot beats. Listen to Diplo & Skrillex’s Amplifire.

It’s treasure I tell you!

Here’s the latest in a string of unofficial-but-awesome videos for Toronto’s R&B maestro The Weeknd. It’s fantastic. Send me some good vibes while I try to wrap things up for the summer.
