A$AP Rocky Releases Album Art and Sets Release Date

     A$AP Rocky announced that his album would be available worldwide on January 15, 2013.  Here's the album art.  The pretty stark image of paused movie footage of A$AP wrapped in an American flag draws up some darker emotions than his previous LP.  Check out the lead single off this record "Goldie".

NEW BURIAL 12'' TO BE RELEASED

    Dubstep/Future-Garage pioneer Burial will release 25 minutes and 32 seconds of new music December 17th following his acclaimed "Kindred EP" released earlier this year.  Check out the haunting title track to "Kindred EP"

NEW BIG BOI ALBUM LEAKS

   Big Boi's new album "Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors" has leaked 9 days before it's release.  Search the internet if you are so inclined to hear it.  With guest spots from Kid Cudi to Little Dragon to Big K.R.I.T. to Wavves I know I am.  Check out this track "Lines" off of the upcoming LP.

Das Racist Breaks Up
                

Looks like we're going to have to go to the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell alone.  Das Racist has broken up.  Kool A.D. claimed to have quit two months ago, but was asked not to announce it by their manager.  At a show last night in Munich Heems went onstage and announced the breakup followed by a short set of Das Racist songs he performed solo.  The breakup will be hard for fans everywhere but Heems and Kool A.D. both have solo mixtapes that bump in the whip so its not like we've heard the last from them.  Also there are songs finished for what would have been the upcoming album so those tracks will remain highly sought after until their label decides (or decides not to) release them.  Check out this cut from their highly acclaimed sophomore release.

Nick Oliveri Working With Queens of the Stone Age Again

    The howling bassist of Kyuss and early Queens of the Stone Age is now working with Queens of the Stone Age once more after being kicked out for allegedly assaulting lead singer Josh Homme's girlfriend over 5 years ago.  Oliveri's band Mondo Generator leaked the news:

"Nick has re-joined Kyuss, and has recently recorded his vocals on the new Queens of the Stone Age song!  Stay tuned."

Nick Oliveri is famous for his piercing screams and thick bass lines on what are widely considered the best Queen's albums, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf.  As a huge fan of Rated R and a lover of Oliveri's style I personally couldn't be more excited to hear this new track.  Check out "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar But I Feel Like a Millionaire"
