Another late edition of weekly new jams.

N.A.S.A. Ft. Kanye West & Santogold – Gifted. I don’t know much about N.A.S.A., but I do know they are putting out some interesting indie/synth pop music. This track for instance put Kanye and Santi together again for the 2nd time. i believe Santi was helping out Kanye during his “Glow In The Dark” tour.I’m curious to see if they keep making hot joints together.

Termanology – Please Don’t Go. This guy still hasn’t’ dropped an album, but he keeps putting out random songs that turn out to be dope. This one is produced by DJ Premier, which is definitely a surprise. Doesn’t sound like the usual Premier beat, but it knocks regardless.

Termanology – We Killin Ourselves. Another slow smooth track, this one with harder, more street lyrics. However, Term tries to speak to the youth on here, giving stories about things that go wrong in the hood. Most dudes can’t write songs like this, so big ups for this track!

Prodigy – Cold World. I used to think a couple years back that this guy would never be the same, but I was way off. This dude has been so on point lately. He’s still sropping grimey ass rhymes over hard ass beats. This track is so rough!

Jape – Floating (D.I.M. Remix). Here’s a song I caught in one of those “Best of 08″ lists. I don;t think I would have ever checked for it if I didn’t find it there. Regardless, this track bumps hard. Niec chopped drums

Miami Horror – Make You Mine. Good vibes on this song made me post it up. The beat is real smooth, plus the chorus changeup is so damn perfect. Chill vibes that work well on the dancefloor. Killing it!

Scott Cooper & Andy George – Jump & Twist (Original Mix). I missed out on this song last year, and recently heard it on a mixtape. Nevertheless, this shit hits hard! The clever use of the reggae sample keeps it hype, allowing the changeups to come in hard.

The Young Punx – Mashitup (Shir Khan REMIX). Here’s a sweet electro/rave track with lots of changeups. Haven’t heard of either artists before, but I’m sure this will knock hard in the club.
