Common is finally back with some new shit. You’ve probably already heard some of his new jams I posted, including the electro single “Universal Mind Control”. As always, Common tries to come with a new style, and I think it came out pretty fresh. Some of the songs are whatever, but others are really refreshing. Check out what I mean.

Common – Make My Day Ft. Cee-Lo. Featuring one of the better innovators out there right now, this song is just so damn smooth and relaxing. I can;t remember Common ever being on a beat like this for a really long time.

Common – What A World Ft. Chester French. Just like the song before, this beat allows Common to show a different side. Chester French is a dope ass dude I heard about from a DJ Manuvers mixtape. He adds dope flavor to this track, and gives it a nice indie feel.

Kelis – Millionaire Ft. Andre 3000. This one kind of has the same feel as the Common tracks, so I thought I’d share. Andre kill it as usual, with the best half-rap/half-singing type steez out there. This actually came out a few years back too. You know Andree be staying ahead of everyone.

Jokers Of The Scene – Y’all Know The Name. I was trying to find this song for so long! Pretty dope upbeat electro remix of a standard hip-hop classic. The breakdown in the middle is awesome, as they throw in the original for effect, and kick it right back up to primetime dance mode.

Dances With White Girls – Everyones Got To Make A Living. Another remix of a classic track, this time the classic being a b-boy dancefloor killer. This dude is not new to the scene, but I haven’t heard many remixes from him. I’m curious to hear some more after hearing this banger.

Avenue D – Do I Look Like a Slut. This is an old ass song that I only just got right now. These girls were originally from Miami, but now perform out of Brooklyn I believe. This is there best track to date. Basically just a dirty booty bass song that has that dope female flavor.

DJ Sega – Be. The original track to this was one of the biggest songs last year. However, the Bmore champ brought it back and flipped it very nice. Sort of has the same feel, but of course, the organs get chopped up Bmore style, and the bass knocks hard.

Maceo & All The King’s Men – I Remember Mr. Banks. This song hit me at just the right moment last week. Stumbled upon it online somewhere, and I just zoned out for a while. You’re not human if you’re not feeling this smooth shit.
