Although most of the hyped material from The Great Gatsby soundtrack has already been released, at least one song has remained at the forefront of just about every fan’s mind. Well, there’s no need to wait any longer. Thanks to NPR, we finally have the chance to listen to Jay-Z‘s contribution to the soundtrack, along with the full album stream. Given the title of the track, it’s pretty obvious what to expect from Hov. The song is full of boastful, braggadocious rhymes and even includes a few quotes from the movie to help explain how Jay’s infatuation with decadence and wealth matches up with some of its characters. The Great Gatsby soundtrack will be in stores next week on May 7th, while the film hits theaters a few days later on May 10th.

Robin Thicke is definitely looking to switch things up with his sixth studio album. Currently sitting atop the iTunes R&B Chart with his single, “Blurred Lines,” Thicke decided to drop by Sway in the Morning to premiere his next hit, “Give It To You.” Produced by will.i.am, the track features the crooner linking up with MTV’s Hottest 2 MC’s, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar, for this club banger. It’s a major departure from what we’re used to hearing from Thicke, but the upbeat number still manages to let him flex his vocal talents suitably. We’ve got the radio rip up for now, but we’ll be sure provide you with an update once the single officially drops.

As we’ve touched on before, Chicago has been a mecca for extraordinary young talent in hip-hop recently. While Chitown has always has always had representation from some of the hottest lyricists in the game, the city’s been yearning for its next big star. We may have found the answer in Chance The Rapper. After months of anticipation, we finally have our hands on Acid Rap, the follow-up to last year’s debut mixtape, 10 Day. It’s remarkable to see how far Chance has come in just one year. His flow is still whimsical and melodic, and his rhymes are as witty as ever, yet it’s evident through his music that Chance has definitely matured. He’s also accrued a couple of nice cosigns since we last heard from him, including the likes of Action Bronson, Childish Gambino, Ab-Soul and Twista. Take this “chance” to check out a few of the standout tracks below, and make sure to give your blessing by downloading the tape here.

Truly Yours

After dropping off  ”Cole Summer” last night, J. Cole serves up another treat with the sequel to February’s Truly Yours EP. Like the previous installment, the six-track EP is composed of previously unreleased material and songs that were left on the cutting room floor. With features and production from 2 Chainz, Young Jeezy, Bas, Jake One, and Canei Finch, this iteration is even better than the last. If this is the material that didn’t make the album, you have to wonder what Cole has in store for us when Born Sinner comes out on June 25th. Grab the free download here.

With J. Cole‘s sophomore effort, Born Sinner, hitting shelves on June 25th, fans have been itching for a taste of the new album. While Cole assures us this new freebie isn’t a preview of what to expect from the record, it’s still a pleasant surprise nonetheless. “Cole Summer” serves as a vehicle for J. Cole to reflect about his life and his spot in the game. It’s nearly five minutes of pure stream of consciousness rap over a chopped up sample of Lauryn Hill‘s “Nothing Even Matters.” No chorus. No hook. No bullshit. Grab the free download, and stay tuned for more music from Cole before his album drops.
