T.I., “No Matter What” [Advance Track]
After the botched confessional T.I. vs. T.I.P., Clifford Harris makes another run at autobiography in this moody track, recorded while he was under house arrest. The results best his last outing effortlessly.

Various Artists, Analog Africa, Selection 1 [Mixtape]
This heart-racer of a mixtape distills the exhilarating African Scream Contest to its essentials: off-the-rails percussion, darting brass and heavenly vocals. A must.

Santogold, Live on KCRW [Live]
Santi White takes an understated approach to her glittering pop songs on KCRW’s storied Morning Becomes Eclectic.

Various Artists, Psychedelic Afro Shop, Even More West African Disco Mayhem[Mixtape 1, Mixtape 2]
The geniuses at Voodoo Funk return with not one, but two new mixtapes, one of which is called Even More West African Disco Mayhem. That is a better advertisement than we could ever hope to give.
