Freddie Gibbs is that fire

Drake - Over (produced by Boi-1da & Al Khaaliq)
Drizzy's new single stormed the scene this morning. We've been following the story. The major label debut, Thank Me Later, is slated to drop in May, which'll be towards the end of his month-long Away From Home tour.
Produced by come up partner, Boi-1da ("Best I Ever Had," "Forever") and Al Khaaliq, it's a triumphant arrival anthem and kisses off bandwagoners on its big hook:
"I know way too many people here that I didn't know last year...who the fuck are ya'll?"

Janelle Monae X Big Boi - Tight Rope
First single from Monae's long-awaited debut LP, The ArchAndroid, in stores May 18. Loud, ambitious soul. Dope track.

Lupe Fiasco - What U Want
A confirmed leak from Lasers. Sparkly, synth beat, Lupe Fiasco sing-rapping about a lost girl, falsetto chorus, an interesting look.

Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune
Some new exploratory project is pulling old recordings for another posthumous Hendrix release. But, um, this is incredible. Explains catalog director John McDermott:
"In the aftermath of 'Electric Ladyland,' he made a series of recordings with the original Experience," co-producer, author and Experience Hendrix catalog director John McDermott tells Spinner. "When they effectively stopped working as a three-man recording unit, he brought in [bassist] Billy Cox -- this album captures that transition. We don't want to over-dramatize it. This is that missing period of time."
Listen to that new Hendrix gem.
DMX - Put Em Up
We're listening. The bruised, troubled rapper's self-titled new LP, DMX, comes February 23. Probably. It'll be his seventh solo work, his first in four years, may be his most relevant since 1999.

Donnis - Gone
Atlanta's Donnis dropped his new Fool's Gold-cosigned, Needlz-produced single, "Gone" back on Tuesday. It sounds like Atlanta: snappy, fresh, playful, about clubs. His 2009 mixtape, Diary Of An ATL Brave, was pretty good and is worth stashing. Check it out:

New Broken Bells video - 'The High Road'
Real talk? One of our most eagerly awaited arrivals of 2010 is the Broken Bells record from Dangermouse and James Mercer. The collab crazy beat conductor has teamed up with The Shins frontman for a project that's somehow fresh and classically cool despite the fact that both these guys have been around for a minute.
First single "The High Road" is a kind of world-weary jazzy, pop, folk ballad that glides along synths and cymbals. Video above, Download below.
Broken Bells is out March 9.

New A-Trak + Drake - Loonies to Blow
Illie new joint off A-Trak's hotly anticipated sequel to Dirty South Dance, Dirty South Dance 2. Distributed at SXSW 2007, the original DSD's simple brilliance matched some of the famed DJ's favorite dirty south rappers against, guess what, electronic dance music (i.e. Rick Ross meets Simian Mobile Disco).
If "Loonies to Blow" (a play on the Drake-featuring Cash Money single "Money to Blow" swapping in the Canadian slang term for one dollar coins) is any indication, DSD2 sticks to the winning formula.

Charles Hamilton wins 'Pants On the Ground' arms race
It was only a matter of time before some unoriginal hip-hopper sampled the culture-attacking, viral "Idol" smash,
"Pants On the Ground."
Embattled Midwestern rapper, Charles Hamilton, flows over Jay's "Thank You" and fits in a prominent "Pants" sample. Dig:
