Swedish DJ Eric Prydz is currently prepping his debut album, set for release later this year on EMI and Astralwerks. Before then, he'll release Eric Prydz Presents Pryda, a collection of songs recorded under his Pryda moniker, on May 22nd. You can check out a new track, "Sunburst," a steadily rocking dance cut that ebbs and flows with ease and which Prydz considers one of his favorites.

"I started working on that last summer when we had a house in Ibiza," says Prydz, "and we had the view from the pool. We could see all the way to Formentera and we could see all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. I just wanted to make a track that sounded like that view."

“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."
