I Self Devine: "Exist To Remain" (Live in The Current Studios)

I purchased The Sound of Low Class Amerika at I Self Devine's album release party last Friday and the record has been on constant repeat ever since. It's a phenomenal piece of work and will positively be among my favorite albums of 2012. You can watch I Self perform "Exist to Remain" at The Current, and stream the entire studio session below.

Be sure to get out and cop The Sound of Low Class Amerika, you won't be disappointed.

Kanye West: "Lost in the World" (Music Video)

It's not a new G.O.O.D. Friday track, but we already got that earlier in the week. Out of nowhere, the closing track to Kanye's 2010 classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy gets a video. Check out the black and white video above, which was directed by Ruth Hogben. Thanks to Fake Shore Drive.

Brother Ali: "Not A Day Goes By" (Music Video)

Brother Ali and Jake One hooked up for yet another non-album cut to get fans even more excited for Mourning in America, Dreaming in Color. With the handful of songs that the two have released together so far, they've already demonstrated a chemistry that exceeds their catalog. This naturally sets the bar high for the proper LP, but I've got no reservations that they'll deliver an amazing album.

Tek & Franz Diego: "Shots Paul & Wag Town"

St. Paul's Tek and Minneapolis' Franz Diego came together to create an anthem for the Twin Cities that will definitely be getting many plays during the coming weeks and summer months. Download the song, which was produced by Bobby Raps and Jesse James, below or hit the jump for a YouTube stream.

Metasota: "Just Junior" + "P.I.G."

Local rapper Metasota has been tweeting for a while about an idea of his called MetaMay. The idea is simple: release one song per day for the entire month of May. Several rappers are known for being incredibly prolific, but this level of productivity is something that many local rappers have not attempted. It will be interesting to see how the month plays out. At the time I'm writing this post (late Wednesday night), Meta is already 2 songs deep in the series, and we're off to a good start. You can stream "Just Junior" and "P.I.G." (produced by Double Helix) below.

Chief Keef: "I Don't Like (Remix) ft. Kanye West, Pusha T, Jadakiss & Big Sean"

On Tuesday night Kanye released the G.O.O.D. Music remix to young Chicago upstart Chief Keef's song "I Don't Like." I understand that in Internet time, that means this post is light years too late, but I'm sharing it anyway because I'm happy to see the G.O.O.D. Friday releases continue (even if the song came on a Tuesday). Download or listen to the song at Kanye's website, or stream it below.

K.Raydio: "Catchy Hook ft. JDante" (Music Video)

Local songstress K.Raydio really wasted no time following up on her video for "The Way It Goes," which came out last week. Here is the animated video for "Catchy Hook" which features a verse from JDante. The video was directed by the talented Adam Dunn.
