Ellie Goulding

Just in case you haven’t heard of her yet, she’s a pretty dope, tal­ented singer-songwriter hail­ing from the UK. Dig­gin’ her sound. It’s like Lykke Li x Björk.

Pon de Floor

What is so addict­ing with this dope-ass beat?!

I heard it first with Major Lazer’s “Pon de Floor”.

Then later last year in 2010, Diddy-Dirty Money’s “Ass On The Floor”.

And recently, Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)”.

What­ever it is—dope beat is dope.

Santigold — “GO

Santigold has never been one to mince words. The Brooklyn-bred musi­cian turned heads with her 2008 epony­mous album and col­lab­o­ra­tions with artists such as The Beastie Boys, Major Lazer and oth­ers. Here, along with the pre­miere of her new track “GO (feat. Karen O),” Santi decodes the mean­ing of the song (which was pro­duced by Q-Tip, Switch and Santi her­self, along with Nick Zin­ner on gui­tar), work­ing with Karen O of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the con­cept of the new Amer­i­can Dream.

Lis­ten and read up some more over at Jay-Z’s Life+Times here.
