Shystie - Gold Dust Vol.2 Mixtape - Free Download

We love Shystie and her new mixtape Gold Dust Vol. 2 is perfection. The first taster, the badass Control It collaboration with Azealia Banks promised greatness and that's what we're getting for sure - He Say, She Say + Gold Gang for instance! Shystie is spitting, cussing and rapping her way into the most tender parts of our heart. It's luv! Her own original tracks mixes with some killer takes of Nicki Minaj's Beez In The Trap, Usher's Climax and Jay-Z's & Kanye West's Niggas In Paris. Plus the intro featuring Queen Elizabeth ll and those skits!!! Small Willy Gherkin ftw, haha! She sounds so hungry, badass and flawless n' we just need moooore of LZ Beats production. Perfect for a Saturday! Spank us n' pull our hair gurl! Download Gold Dust Vol.2 here!

Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire - Premiere

Alicia Keys drops her 5th studio album Girl On Fire on November 27th - and today she unveils the title track, which also serves as the first single. Listen to the album version + the Inferno remix that features Nicki Minaj below! First impression after a few spins is that it's very much a classic Alicia Keys single. Those bombastic drums and piano + strong vocals and a choir. Have a listen below! Thoughts?

Lykke Li VS. Nicki Minaj - I Follow Starships - Free Download

This mash-up would be the most unexpected track we've heard today. The bangin' The Magician remix of Lykke Li's I Follow Rivers gets kidnapped by Nicki Minaj's Starships and taken to a galaxy far, far away for some fucking and getting high. It works - and we'd say it would work the best late in the DJ set, haha. So you can get the party goin' and serve some drinks beforehand! Sadly it's the clean radio edit with no swearin' so make sure to shout that over the track. Enjoy!
