Hypetrak Premiere: K.i.D – Go Outside

First class deserves the top spot. This is the case with Wale's collaboration with Big Sean and B.o.B and the latest installment of our Weekly Set series. As this lineup already indicates, all three emcees are on fire over this crazy Raz Fresco beat. Chicago's Sound Remedy came correct with his modern rendition of Ludwig van Beethoven's timeless "Moonlight Sonata," whereas the Hood Internet mashed up the talents of Ellie Goulding, Kanye West and the Portland Cello project. Last week further saw Swizzy going "Bonkers" and the reemergence of Yung Joc who used Rick Ross's trademark "Ugh/Huh" uttering and created a song out of it.

Further highlights encompass Curren$y's "Run Dat Sh*t," a new track by DOOM and Ghostface's brainchild DOOMSTARKS, a Hercules & Love Affair remix of Chromeo's new single, Weezy's cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," and Big Shug and DJ Premier's Guru tribute track. Last but certainly least, Wale's J. Cole-powered "Bad Girls Club" has caused a major ruckus on the blogosphere. In addition, major rock icons Red Hot Chili Peppers and Blink-182 celebrated their respective much-anticipated comebacks to the music scene. Listen to the Chili's new song here and Blink's tune here.

Regarding music videos we saw excellent by submissions by Grimes, Rimer London, Theophilus London, Asher Roth, Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun, Cults, Atmosphere, Teddybears, Tom Vek and How to Dress Well. Now enjoy in the audio recap below!

Due to the nation's birthday last week, we skipped on our beloved Weekly Set so that we can now offer you the most notable audio news within the past 14 days. Right on top we find reemerging band Limp Bizkit to join forces with another Wu-Tang member. This time around, the Chef himself adds some verbal jabs for "Combat Jazz" which is also the bonus cut of the band's new Gold Cobra album. Chi-Town's Cool Kids provided yet another summer jam produced by Pharrell Williams whereas Hypetrak had the honors to present a Caribbean-flavored new Theophilus London jam. In addition, Lil Wayne made it loud and clear that "Tunechi's Back" over the "Tupac Back" instrumental while Breakbot added his disco-funky touch to Chromeo's "When the Nights Falls."

Further offerings contain a previously unreleased diss record by 2Pac, an excellent blend of Lupe Fiasco and Lil Wayne's rhyme skills, a Swedish House Mafia remix of Coldplay's new single, a Childish Gambino mashup, as well as a new song by The Glitch Mob.

Summertime is officially in full effect. With the temperature steadily rising within the Northern Hemisphere, recording artists took notice and delivered some sun-drenched tunes for your audio pleasure. Need proof? Just check this week's Weekly Set. The Cool Kids swimsuit up along with soulful crooner Mayer Hawthorne, and so do Common and No I.D. who avoid going crazy off the heat. Internet sensation Kreayshawn has some friendly words for female gold diggers whereas Mac Miller and Talib Kweli bethink themselves to their core values. In addition, a previously unreleased track hints at the fact that Cudder has been fighting bipolarity for a while.

Furthermore, Washed Out offered a new tune, The Weeknd took on Drizzy's "Trust Issues," Smoke DZA and Domo Genesis joined forces, Tate La Rock and Troublemaker remixed The Weeknd's "Rolling Stone," and Gold Panda treated his followers with an all-new tune.

Notable music videos during the past seven days include Theophilus's "Last Name London," Pac Div's song, Skrillex's "Rock N Roll," Estelle and Rick Ross breaking hearts, Curren$y's "She Don't Want a Man," Young the Giant's "Cough Syrup," Rozay and Weezy's "9 Piece," The Kills' "The Future Starts Slow," SBTRKT's outstanding collaboration with Little Dragon entitled "Wildfire," and last but not least Eminem and Sasha Grey being "Space Bound."

In case you missed it, make sure to check out our conversation with Pharoahe Monch about his early beginnings into the hip-hop game, onto his lifelong battle with asthma, and how it helped shape his music career.

After sampling issues initially postponed the release, J. Cole's new single "Work Out" has finally hit the blogosphere last week. Although the sample-heavy track caused mixed reactions within our readership, it has the potential to grow on the listener and make an impact on (non-) digital (radio) waves. Following the announcement that Queens duo Capone-N-Noreaga have split, N.O.R.E. seems to be just fine on his solo path. In preparation of his upcoming album, Superthug, the rapper offered "Finito," a track that features the prominent talents of Lil Wayne and Pharrell Williams. By releasing his Royal Flush 2 mixtape last week, CyHi Da Prynce has shown tremendous potential for a promising rap career. In accordance, his collaboration with fellow G.O.O.D. Music representative Big Sean, "Woopty Woop," has been chosen as one of the standout cuts of the project. After Maybach Music Group's Self Made Vol. 1 has been received very well, Wale is keeping his momentum in check with his new tune "Lacefrontin," which is reminiscent of the DC native's pre-MMG days. Virgina-based genre-crossing trio Mansions on the Moon are currently in 100% album mode. Thus, the band has unleashed the audio version of their new jam, "Darkness," which increases the anticipation surrounding the promising debut long-player, titled Lightyears.

Further highlights include XV's aerial "30,000 Feet Up in the Sky," The Foreign Exchange's "All The Kisses" featuring Amber and Paris Strother of KING, Wu-Tang's "225 Rounds" featuring RZA, U-God, Cappadonna and Bronze Nazareth, Destructo's "Technology," and Best Coast's "Gone Again."

Plenty of high quality music videos have reached us last week – we've seen Frank Ocean's "Novacane," MellowHype's "64," Talib Kweli's "Mr. International," Metronomy's "The Bay," Big Sean's "I Do It," a vintage-infused clip for Jacques Renault's rendition of Breakbot's "Fantasy" as well as the official video for the official version. Lady Gaga presented the shockingly normal video for her new single "Edge of Glory" whereas Chris Brown and Justin Bieber's got apocalyptic in their video "Next 2 You," and last but not least Diplo and Dillon Francis getting all trippy for "Que, Que" featuring Maluca.

Also make sure to check out the full album stream of Big Sean's Finally Famous debut, Cee Lo Green's Neptunes-produced tune "Bridges," and JoJo's interesting take on Drake's new single. Enjoy in the audio recap below!
