[Listen] Plan B - "Lost My Way"

When Plan B dropped "iLL Manors" everyone got excited. It was Ben back at his best, and he was back with one hell of a big bang. Today he's dropped another track from the movie soundtrack and it's titled "Lost My Way". The track is an angry one that shoes Ben's opinions on gang culture in the world today. The soundtrack was penned for release earlier this month but has been pushed back to the 16th of July. We're pretty excited about it on our end, are you?

[Watch] Little Comets - "Jennifer"

We know some folks on this side of the pond in the UK may be getting a little excited. The sun's come out for a few days and that means the streets are littered with topless goons and short skirts galore. That's all well and good but what about us folk stuck in the office? Try this new track from Little Comets on for size maybe? Titled "Jennifer" the bright guitars and funky drum beats are sure to bring a little bit of sunshine to your cubicle or wherever it is you're sat.

The single will be released on June the 11th via Dirty Hit.

[Listen] Childish Gambino - "Tell Me" Feat. Heems

Hot damn. Childish Gambino has another track from his new mixtape up on the wordwide web via RapRadar. The track is called "Tell Me" and features Das Racist's Heems. I personally ain't going to complain at new material from Donny and am very much looking forward to the full mixtape when it drops. In case you missed it we've previously got to enjoy the ScHoolboy Q featuring "Unnecessary" along with "We Ain't Them".

[Listen] Kendrick Lamar - "War Is My Love"

Check out a brand new Kendrick Lamar track that features on Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The game itself was released yesterday but you can stream the track in full below. Regarding the song Kendrick stated:

 When I recorded "War Is My Love" I did my best to put myself in the shoes of the Ghosts from the video game and capture that feeling of being willing to wage war and do whatever it takes to claim victory... And when I started really getting into the game, I thought it actually matched perfectly.

 I was never much of a Tom Clancy man myself.

[Watch] Benga - "Icon" Feat. Bebe Black (Official Video)

Benga is certainly a man that knows how to deliver great track after great track and this new one featuring Bebe Black is a good example of it. Titled "Icon" the track is a little more radio friendly with the addition of Bebe and the video is an entertaining one to watch. It sees the two take flight from a plane skydiving. Check out Benga's face as they break through the clouds! Priceless. The single is set for release next month on the 24th of June.

Benga's full-length solo project, Chapter 2, is also on the way on the 27th of August via Columbia Records.
