[Download] Pell - EST 2005 Posted: 13 Jan 2014 01:30 PM PST Nearly a decade after Hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans and uprooted Pell along with his family, the Mississippi-based rhymesayer still dreams of returning to the place he remembers from his childhood. On new single EST 2005, his first feature since December’s Imaginary Friends, Staccs‘s wistful keyboard loops accompany the emcee as he shares some rose-colored recollections of the …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Listen] Mariami - Gates (Georgia on My Mind) Posted: 13 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST Not glimpsed on our pages since February of 2013, when she earned reader approval for an intimate, live-band rendition of single Nanina, unsigned R&B songstress Mariami makes her return to the Booth with the first single off her next full-length. While the cut’s title, Gates (Georgia on my Mind), might lead you to expect an ode to …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Kenneth Whalum III ft. Big K.R.I.T. - Away Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:30 PM PST Looks like Robert Glasper isn’t the only jazz musician who’s been looking to hip-hop for inspiration of late. Kenneth Whalum III, a rising composer, arranger and tenor saxophonist hailing from the Big Apple, links up with Mississippi rhymesayer Big K.R.I.T. on Away, his latest promo single and first DJBooth feature. As you’d expect …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Quincy Vidal - Pillow Posted: 13 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST The best part about having a significant other is that no matter where you are, you always have a go-to Pillow. OK, so maybe that’s not the best part, but it’s a perk nonetheless. Just ask hip-hop duo Quincy Vidal, who seem to have ample experience being in a relationship. I’m not sure if Le’Asha Julius and C.E. are a …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Shakira ft. Rihanna - Can’t Remember to Forget You Posted: 13 Jan 2014 11:29 AM PST There was something Shakira was planning to do today, but it just isn’t coming to mind… Oh, right: the international pop star was going to not think about a certain man. If you haven’t guessed from the title of album lead single Can’t Remember to Forget You, carrying out that plan proves mighty difficult. Here, producer John Hill‘s reggae-infused boardwork …   Click the link for the stream.

[Listen] Angelo Mota - Good Life (Intro) Posted: 13 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST A whole week of hip-hop from up-and-coming emcees? Man, this really is the Good Life! With songs like this Booth-exclusive world premiere from Angelo Mota, I’d even call it a great life. You won’t find any gimmicks here—just a record that is short, sweet and to the point. A quirky sample, serving as an intro to Max Lazen‘s crisp, sample-driven …   Click the link for the stream.

[Download] Charlie Puth - L.U.V. Posted: 13 Jan 2014 10:30 AM PST Charlie Puth may be new to the Booth, but those with their ears to the digital grapevine have likely known about him for a minute: the 21-year-old singer and producer has enjoyed viral fame since 2011, when a YouTube rendition of Adele’s Someone Like You thrust him into the spotlight, even netting him multiple appearances on Ellen. His original work …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Denzel Curry & Deniro Farrar - Bow Down Posted: 13 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST Since you’re browsing the Booth, I’m going to go ahead and guess you’re sitting down, with your Internet-connected device of choice resting either on a desk or on your lap. That position just won’t do for listening to the new joint single from Denzel Curry and Deniro Farrar. Instead, you’ll want to Bow Down as low as your level of …   Click the link for the stream and download.

[Download] Ace Hood - FYFR (F*ck Your Favorite Rapper) Posted: 13 Jan 2014 09:30 AM PST If you’re a lover of hip-hop, Ace Hood‘s got a message for you: FYFR. That’s "F*ck Your Favorite Rapper," for those who don’t enjoy puzzling out initialisms. On a freshly-minted single off his next street album, the Cash Money signee throws down a gauntlet before the rest of the hip-hop game, calling emcees out for failing to do justice to …   Click the link for the stream and download.
