THEESatisfaction - QueenS [DWNLD]

 "Sub Pop's hip-hop roster expands to three acts (after Spoek Mathambo and Shabazz Palaces) this March, when the label issues awE naturalE the debut album from THEESatisfaction, a Seattle group that appeared heavily on Shabazz Palaces' Black Up. Sub Pop is offering the group's first single for download below, and it's pretty great. It's called "QueenS" and it's built on a neo-soul vocal loop and some of the most airy, beautiful sing-rapping this side of Lauryn Hill. If this is how the whole album is going to sound, this one is a can't miss, folks.

awE naturalE is due out on March 27 via Sub Pop." - VIA Prefix Magazine

Common - Follow Me (Unreleased) [DWNLD]

Some old, unreleased Common is always welcome at RVS!

"This new, previously unreleased track from Common was originally thought to be a leftover from the Like Water for Chocolate era, or around 1998-2000. But after several listens, it became clear that the reggae-tinged "Follow Me," which references former President George W. Bush and weapons of massive destruction, was likely recorded during the Be sessions, or 2003-05. Either way, new Common is still one hell of a treat, even with the unfinished feel of the track. Still, I could definitely hear this fitting in on Be, particularly because of the jazzy, horns-laden production." - Prefix Mag
