The best new artist – Kanye West

I’m going to make a confession. I rarely listen to mainstream radio mainly because I think a lot of the music is garbage, and if for some reason I like a catchy song, it doesn’t get played out in a few days. So when I heard Kid Cudi’s song Day and Nite (Crookers Remix), I immediately felt that this song was going to be on repeat.

Cudi released his A Kid Named Cudi Mixtape this summer which showed that he’s not a one-hit-wonder. He’ll be featured on two of the songs on Kanye West’s upcoming release of 808’s and Heartbreaks album. You can download the mixtape for (what everyone loves) free on Cudi’s website.

I’m pretty sure you’ll say the same thing when you hear these tracks. Amplive remixed Radiohead’s latest album In Rainbows prior to getting the nod from Radiohead or any Radiohead reps. Thank goodness Amp got Radiohead’s blessing to release Rainydayz, featuring some of the bay area’s finest such as Too $hort, MC Zumbi (Zion I), and Del [the Funky Homosapian], and of course, Chali2na (J5) reppin’ LA.

All of you Radiohead fans know that the album In Rainbows was originally released as a digital download, where anyone could purchase the album for a “you name it” price.  Unfortunately, Amplive isn’t as flexible when it comes to cost. He basically doesn’t give you a choice. Fortunately, that price is free. Yes folks, free.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll get:

Radiohead – Nude
