Jay-Z’s much anticipated contribution to ‘The Great Gatsby’ soundtrack has finally surfaced in full. ’100$ Bill’ will feature alongside new music from Lana Del Rey, Beyonce & Andre 3000, Emeli Sande, Coco O (Quadron), The xx and many others on the films upcoming soundtrack, executively produced by Jay.

After surprising fans with ‘Cole Summer’ yesterday, today J. Cole releases his brand new Truly Yours 2 EP. Produced by Cole, Canei Finch & Jake One the new EP features six new songs and boasts guest appearances from Bas, Young Yeezy & 2 Chainz. The tracks on the both instalments of his Truly Yours EP series are a product of J. Cole recording “at least 4 albums worth of material” while recording his upcoming second LP Born Sinner (June 25th). “Some of [the songs] are great and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit sonically, don’t fit theme or there’s just not enough space… Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them.

It doesn’t take much imagination to understand why a collaboration between a producer like Clams Casino and an artist like DOOM would be such a successful pairing; It’s almost a match made in heaven. Clams’ trademark fuzzy ambience manages to coerces a typically rhythmical, albeit understated, performance from the masked rapper – but it’s the magic between both their respective worlds that seals this coming together.

Take a peep at SpaceGhostPurrp’s a latest narcotics based VHS-style visual for ‘Bringin’ Da Phonk’, the latest single taken off 2012′s Mysterious Phonk: Chronicles of SpaceGhostPurrp album.

A$AP Rocky returns to the clouds with fellow A$AP Mob cohort Ferg on ‘Max Julien’, a haze-driven new track produced by Ty Beats. Taken off Funkmaster Flex’s Who You Mad At Me Or Yourself? mixtape the song revisits the woozier end of the A$AP repertoire – it’s immersed in lofty synths, crisp hi-hats and airy chants. Both emcees deliver characteristically different verses; Rocky assumes his usual charm-offense, while Ferg tackles a slightly more technical flow.

Tinashe’s sultry, sex-soaked single ‘Who Am I Working For’ lifted from her Reverie mixtape now features a guest spot from A$AP NAST for it’s official remix. Though the production and vocals remain untouched, the new version opens with a rather compelling and well controlled double-time verse from NAST. His contribution will serve as a good intro for those unfamiliar with him outside of his A$AP Mob association.

All roads look set to lead to LoveBox this year as organisations have just announced the first round of artists/DJ’s confirmed on the bill. Among some of them are SBTRKT, Flying Lotus, Azealia Banks, Jurassic 5 (!), Julio Bashmore, Purity Ring, Gold Panda, AlunaGeorge and the man-God himself D’Angelo! Aside from Mark Ronson and Goldfrapp a full list of headliners has yet to be announced but something tells me there’ll be some pretty legendary names thrown in the mix – watch this space.

Lovebox takes place in London on July 19th-21st, for more line-up and ticket information head over to their official website.

Drake has revealed a new track titled ‘Girls Love Beyonce’, produced by Noah ’40′ Shebib and featuring vocals from James Fauntleroy (co-writer on Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience and member of Cocaine 80′s) . The song will not be featured on Drizzy’s soon to be released third album Nothing Was the Same, but will most likely appease many of Drake’s fellow 90′s-nostalgia-fiends as it samples Destiny’s Child’s Grammy award winning song ‘Say My Name’. Because this won’t be an official track on the album I won’t go too deep, but speaking in a general sense it does comes come off a little lacklustre – 40′s production is probably the best thing about it (and even that isn’t groundbreaking); And I would have expected that sample to have been used better… But again, it’s not an album track so we can’t be too mad at it.

New York based, Oakland raised rapstress Gita delivers an attitude fuelled debut single produced by British producer Darq E Freaker. Freaker’s hyperactive production coupled with Gita’s fierce flow captures the rapid-fire sound that’ll very easily appeal directly to her fast-growing fanbase; Many of whom have been with her since her ‘Let That’ and ‘Hood Rich’ days.
