Click to listen to Cloud Nothings' 'Stay Useless'

Cleveland-based Cloud Nothings will be releasing their sophomore album, Attack on Memory, on January 24th. The group's usual lo-fi sound takes a pop turn on the record's lead single, "Stay Useless." Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi explains, "'Stay Useless' was my attempt at making a catchy pop song that was better than any other pop song I've written. I'm trying to take Cloud Nothings to different areas, songwriting-wise, so I figured I should try and finish off the 'poppy' songs with a bang."

Cloud Nothings' Attack on Memory won't be available until January 24th, but you can download "Stay Useless" for free here.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
