Music will never be the same without the King of Pop. His music, moves, moonwalk, gillet suits, shoes, gloves, glasses, extraordinairy shows and appearance turned him into an icon. His private life, childhood and personal struggles might have been far from perfect and anything but pleasant, but his catalog was brilliant. Within the last three years there were just a few artists that released a song or an album that was timeless. Name one song you can still play in public ten years from now, without being laughed at or without being embarrassed to have ever bought that particular song. That's one of the most important elements about Michael Jackson; his music was timeless. Everything from Bad to Dangerous, Thriller and History. His legacy is timeless. Gone too soon. Rest in peace, King of Pop.

Lushlife ft. Elzhi- "In Soft Focus" - Listen Here
Track taken from the brilliant, upcoming album Cassette City, out July 7th. Figuring out what the boy Lushlife is all about isn't a piece of cake. With a look more Vice Magazine than The Source, a production style that sounds like DJ Premier chopping up Brian Wilson and Burt Bacharach, and a flow to make you think there's a very worn copy of Illmatic in his past somewhere, the Philly emcee/producere isn't easy to pin down. But that's part of the fun, isn't it? A perfect example of these intersecting aesthetics, "In Soft Focus" takes a pastel-colored golden-era-influenced beat with a sample taken from lo-fi indie rock champ Ariel Pink and fuses it with Lush's own flow, and then goes for the win with a verse from rising star and Slum Village member Elzhi. Sound too ambitious to work? Not on your life.

Bobby Valentino ft. Montana Da Mac - "Hands On Me" - Listen Here
Not as good as the material from his Disturbing Tha Peace era, but an average R&B song with a weak rap verse that should never make it to an album.

Taken from the DJ Smallz & DJ Neptune: Southern Smoke TV vol. 3 (Hosted by OJ Da Juiceman) Mixtape.

LCN’s Slaine commented on the song: “‘Bang, Bang’ is the name of the track that we did with Snoop, and it is just one of those joints that is built for driving around with the system up. It comes just in time for the summer. I’ve been driving around, knocking it and playing it for cats around my way, and people are lovin’ it. Anytime you catch Snoop on a joint with this kind of feel to it, it just feels timeless.” La Coka Nostra’s A Brand You Can Trust streets July 14 on Suburban Noize Records.
