Do The W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E. (Wale + Justice)

It's been a while since I've posted on this site and plus I'm sure no one really reads this, but I know I just had to share this track on here. There's this new rap-cat out of D.C. who goes by the name Wale, who just released a mixtape with DJ Nick Catchdubs recently called 100 Miles & Running (cop it here).

Wale hasn't had a proper full-length released, but if you want a taste of someone who can save hip-hop, don't let Wale pass you by. The 100 Miles mixtape features his lyrical stylings over songs you know and love, including some Mark Ronson productions, as well as a Justice "D.AN.C.E." rap-over track that I love and wanted to share. Just DO IT!

Ed Banger, Parte Deux

In case you slept on it, Ed Banger's second gift to the U.S. via Vice Records, Ed Rec (Vol. 2), hit digital music stores this past Tuesday. While the first volume was more of a primer for listeners new to the label, the second one brings both old and new listeners together for new, exclusive tracks from Justice, Uffie, Busy P (the man behind the label himself), and a So-Me remix of Klaxons (which is one of the better selections on the compilation, in my opinion).

Mr. Oizo sadly only appears for the intro track, but probably produced the beats to Uffie's new banger, "Dismissed." Feadz comes up short with a watered down effort and I can't explain it why he didn't give us what he's best at. DJ Mehdi throws in "Lucky Girl," dashed with samples from Gwen Stefani's "Wind It Up" and a Stefani-esque rap in an apparent Gwen Stefani parody song.

Busy P has definitely proven to be a nice surprise through the two compilations, which I would've never expected, so that's why I've chosen to share Busy P's (very Kavinsky) track:
