If you are lost in the world and looking for something, this is the perfect song for you.

James Blake and Chance the Rapper made an impeccable creation that’s aimed for those souls that are wandering in the world. It really makes you look at the place around you in a different way.

This song is a great combination of Blake’s searching voice, a dazing beat and Chance’s raps that sound like a painful past. Overall, this song is for those who are lost, but not looking to be found.

Is there anything better than a killer Imagine Dragons remix? No, especially when it comes from none other than master remixer RAC. This is his take of On Top Of The World.

VOTD: Danny Brown - ‘Dip’

If you haven’t been thrashing to Danny Brown’s electronic beatdown of a new album, Old, it’s about time you get there. With a side A that Kendrick would vibe too and the most brutal second half since that last football game your favorite team lost, Danny takes his swag to a new level on this record. “Dip” is the definition of OldI’s side B, which first punches you in the jaw with “Dope Song”, then slams you to the ground with the quickness. Kidnapping the last bars of “Niggas In Paris” (“Don’t let me into my zone”) as a hook, Danny rides in with two verses about goin’ hard and gettin’ some while cartoons bug out on his eyes, then dips. You know how he does. Go listen to Old for real - it’s a party.

Also, if you haven't done it already, check out King's of Leon's new Album- Mechanical Bull. It's an incredible album that really took the band to another level.
