Music for Perfect People

Kendrick Lamar, the 24-year-old musician from Compton, California, has recently released the track “Cloud 10,” which features his diverse style of rap along with the production of MFPP’s favorite Nosaj Thing.  Ever since we posted the the video of Nosaj Thing performing on KEXP, we have been hooked with his electronic sound, and are glad to finally hear some of his latest work.

“Cloud 10″ and its teaser trailer were both created as part of the Windows Me Series, which features a “collection of short film essays exploring a day in the life of creative Windows Phone users.” [via] Currently, Kendrick uses his Windows Phone to explore new music, and to record new ideas as they form.

On July 19th, Sole and the Skyrider Band will release their latest effort Hello, Cruel World through Fake Four, Inc.. This will be Sole’s first full-length release since leaving Anticon, the music label he helped found back in 1998.

Recently, the track “Pianos Falling” made its way to the interwebs, and features SSRB’s electronic rap combined with the synth work of Black Moth Super Rainbow‘s frontman Tobacco. While “Pianos Falling” won’t find a spot on Hello, Cruel World, it is still a great track that was just never released .. until now.
