Thehoodinternet.com hits us with another great mash-up by contributor ABX. Here they mash one of AOS’s favorites “Don’t Move,” by Phantogram and Wiz Khalifa’s “Roll Up.” Enjoy.
Phantogram Vs. Wiz Khalifa – Move Up
Hailing from Tottenham, London, Wretch is a British rapper with a thick accent but a bonafide hit on his hands. “Don’t Go,” is from his 2011 album Black and White, and has already topped the charts in the UK. I was introduced to this by a coworker and it has been on repeat ever since. The catchy hook provided by newcomer Josh Kumra is responsible.

Daughter, led by lead singer Elena Tonra, released their EP The Wild Youth back in November with their single, “Youth” gaining a lot of attention in the recent weeks. Rocking an acoustic guitar and bowl cut, there’s something unique about Elena’s style/voice/lyrics etc. The track takes about a minute to pick up but gives a great first impression filled with mystery and beauty.
This track reminds me of a movie soundtrack, either someone driving along the coast of California, or maybe driving through a city at night in slow motion. It has no vocals but still moves you to listen to it. Check out more of their music at http://soundcloud.com/tycho.
Tycho – The Day Dream
This song comes from this American pop duo’s debut album, “Treats,” which was released back in May 2011. My coworker Colleen who brought this to my attention, and with a name like Sleigh Bells I was expecting Christmas music, except for the bell noise I was pleasantly surprised.
Sleigh Bells – Rill Rill
[audio http://www.hulkshare.com/dl/y8egali89nxd/Rill+Rill.mp3]This guy’s voice will blow you away, definitely don’t judge a book by its cover on this one. This guy is a musical prodigy producing as well as playing every instrument himself. He was on his way to the Army when his concerns about our presence in the Middle East made him change his mind and focus solely on music, and boy are we lucky he did.

Jhameel – Waves
Is there anything this woman can’t do? Besides the originality and creativity Florence Welch and company bring to the table, she has a killer, awe inspiring voice. That voice which is seemingly being sampled everywhere in hip hop and electronic music these days, has now flipped the script. Here on BBC radio, she puts her own spin on the title track of Drake’s new album, Take Care, featuring Rihanna and produced by Jaime XX. Original track is posted below, but both versions are completely addicting.

Off of Justice’s latest album, “Ohio,” is full of Beatlesque “Gnik Nus,” vocals and an addictive electronic beat. Lupe then sampled the beat for his new mixtape, previously posted on AOS, in which he raps about his favorite 90’s urban drama movies. Check out both below. But first check out this bad ass picture of the group, Justice. Yeah thats right, looks like these dudes got a great deal on some leather jackets and shades on Black Friday. So they decided to rock them out in a cool B&W pic probably taken at Sears. But I totally caught the dude in the back covering up his Cats, the musical t-shirt. Never the less, these guys have put together a great album.

Old Amica is a two man group from Sweden, one from Stockholm and the other from Umea. Over the internet they have combined to form the group and put together a pretty solid body of work.
