Listen: Main Attrakionz – “Take 1″ Ft. ASAP Rocky (Prod. Clams Casino)

This song is somewhat of a watershed collaboration between a bunch of names in hip hop that are all on the rise right now. Clams Casino (who was recently profiled by the Wall Street Journal), drops a straightforward but incredibly dope and atmospheric beat with ASAP Rocky and Mondre Man of Main Attrakionz doing what they do best behind the mic. Check  out "Take 1" below, and grab the whole new Main Attrakionz tape HERE.

Download: Alela Diane - Home Recordings & B-Sides from The Wild Devine Sessions

Allthough I haven't been a huge fan of Alela Diane's albums since her stellar dubute I am always curious to hear what's next. I prefered this years Alela Diane and Wild Devine LP to her Sophmore effort, To Be Still,  but I still miss the quirkiness of The Pirate's Gospel. What ever the case here are some Home Recordings & B-Sides not available in the United States. They’re definitely worth seeking out as it’s got that something I was missing from the LP.
