While Frank Ocean's track for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained will not be included in the final soundtrack, the artist released it for fans late Saturday night. It marks Ocean's first new piece in months following the release of his Grammy-nominated Channel Orange.
While his upcoming album Long.Live.A$AP leaked earlier this week, A$AP Rocky title track off the set received its proper debut on Thursday. The official music video is set to release on Sunday morning. The album arrives Jan. 15 via RCA.
See the tracklist here.
It's one of the most-anticipated tracks off A$AP Rocky's upcoming album Long.Live.A$AP, and now you can hear it for yourself. The young rapper brings together a full slate of emcees for "1 Train," which includes guest verses by Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson & Big K.R.I.T. over a beat by Hit-Boy.

Remember when Dido let Eminem sample her song "Thank You" in what went on to be his mammoth hit single "Stan"? Well, you may have a little bit of déjà vu when you hear the singer's latest single. Dido's fourth studio album Girl Who Got Away is set to release in March, but she is debuting a new cut Friday titled "Let Us Move On" featuring Kendrick Lamar (who is—like Eminem before him—newly signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath Records).
A month out from the release of their third studio album Beta Love, Ra Ra Riot has again debuted a new track off the set, this one being "When I Dream." And yes, it's pretty dreamy. The album itself was recorded in Mississippi and will showcase the band's first sounds since the departure of cellist Alexandra Lawn.
Having just revealed earlier Wednesday that he was bored and was going to let loose a new track later tonight, Pusha T made good on his word less than 24 hours later. The Young Chop-produced track "Blocka" includes some island sounds via Popcaan and an appearance by Push's G.O.O.D. Music mate Travi$ Scott. It is unknown if this new cut will be featured on Pusha T's upcoming mixtape.
A week ahead of its proper release, Bruno Mars has released his forthcoming album Unorthodox Jukebox to stream in its entirety. Following an incredibly successful stint hosting Saturday Night Live, this newest set certainly showcases some mad vocal acrobatics from the 27-year-old singer.
About nine days from next week's release of Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors, Big Boi's track "She Hates Me" has surfaced. Kid Cudi makes a guest appearance on the cut, which is included on the highly-anticipated set due out Dec. 11 via Purple Ribbon/Def Jam.
A new track from Game has been released as of Sunday night. While "Rollin'" was produced by and features the one and only Kanye West, it will not appear on Game's upcoming album Jesus Piece. The rapper explained on Twitter Sunday that sampling clearance had held the track from being approved for his set: “Once again, we couldn’t get the sample cleared.. but once you get the Jesus Piece album… line this up right after ‘Jesus Piece’ & it will fit pefectly!!! If we can’t clear it…we will find away!!!”
Trae The Truth, Z-Ro, Paul Wall and Slim Thug also appear on the track.
The Killers used a recent day off during their U.K. tour to record their seventh Christmas single "I Feel It in My Bones" featuring Ryan Pardey on vocals. The track, which is a full-on 80s rock anthem, is a sequel to their 2007 track "Don't Shoot Me, Santa." The song is available today for preview in honor of World AIDS Day. The song will release to iTunes on Dec. 4, and all sales from the single will benefit (RED).
Jay-Z had been slated to make an appearance on Meek Mill's Dreams & Nightmares, which released last month, but the final product ended up being absent of the anticipated spot—reportedly because Jay may have not been satisfied with his contribution. Luckily for fans, a remixed version of "Lay Up" (which features Wale in Jay's place in addition to Rick Ross and Trey Songz) has surfaced. The unreleased version of the track can be heard below:
Ke$ha's new album Warrior leaked Monday night, perhaps prompting her label to make the set available for streaming ahead of its original Nov. 30 release date. As of now, the LP will still debut properly on Friday, but it's streaming now in its entirety via iTunes.
