Paris 96 (Theophilus London & Jesse Boykins III) - "Afternoon"

Collectively known as Paris 96, Theophilus London and Jesse Boykins III  have banded together to "keep the faucet running, panties dropping, ladies screaming, niggas scheming but not hating :), french loving etc."

They sound like superheroes to me! Stream and download Paris 96's first offering "Afternoon" below, and look for the EP to drop this April.

Luke James - "I.O.U."

Grammy nominated singer Luke James is forever indebted. To whom? I'm sure fans would like to take credit, but it turns out his new single "I.O.U." is dedicated to his mother. Awwwwwwww.....

Stream "I.O.U." below, and while you're at it, download his free album Whispers In The Dark produced by Danja. Good stuff.

ForteBowie - "Gucci Mane"

In case you didn't know, ForteBowie is the rapper that completely knocked the first verse of Trinidad Jame$' "Southside" out of the water. I've been hoping to hear more from the Atlanta rapper since hearing his Don't Be S.A.F.E. guest verse, and POW, a new EP is on the way.

Stream ForteBowie's latest track "Gucci Mane" below, which probably won't sound anything like you assumed it will. Definitely plan on adding this to some sets.

Download

ForteBowie's debut EP Vice Haus is set to hit the net on February 18th.

James Blake - "Retrograde"

I think the gloomy weather in Atlanta is connecting me closer to this song, but James Blake's "Retrograde" is sure to get played consistently, even on the sunniest of days.

James Blake's 2011 breakthrough self-titled debut has left fans thirsty for more, and when news dropped that his sophomore effort Overgrown is set for an April 8th release, anticipation grew even larger. To top it off, check out "Retrograde," Overgrown's first single which premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.

Anthem x B.o.B x Nicki Minaj - "oUt OF mY mInD" (Remix)

Anthem has been hard at work producing for the likes of CyHi The Prynce, A.Dd+ and more,  but he's really been on a roll reworking hits like Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools," Big Sean's "Guap," and Rihanna's "Pour It Up."

Check out my favorite remix from the Birmingham bred beatsmith below, as he twists B.o.B's "Out Of My Mind" even deeper into the twilight zone.
