Harlem rapper Cam'ron announced on Twitter that he'll drop a new track every day for 30 days. "I'ma start releasing the #UNLostFiles 2mr," reads Cam'ron's tweet from yesterday. The UnLostFiles start today and will skip weekends, premiering a new track every weekday for 30 days.

The Purple Haze MC appeared ready to release his seventh studio album, More Gunz, Less Buttah, this month, but his current priorities have apparently changed. The record is now tentatively set for a June 5th release.

Most recently, Cam'ron has been busy working with Harlem cohort Vado as the U.N. Earlier this year, hecolla borated with Mac Miller on a one-off track, "Dig That," that fueled rumors of a full-length collaboration. Cam'ron has teased the return of Dipset since the summer of 2010, but has mainly focused on the U.N. partnership since.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
