First song of this week’s email is the only one of the 3 that isn’t brand new. It’s off of the GTA IV soundtrack (yes, the video game) and it’s called “No Sex for Ben” by The Rapture, produced by Timbaland. The track is about Gucci Soundsystem DJ Ben Rymer but the title alone should let you know that it’s probably not in a good way.

Second song is a recently leaked track from classic R&B/neo-soul/hip hop producerRaphael Saadiq’s upcoming Motown inspired album. The song is called “100 Yard Dash” and it’s definitely a very Motown sounding track. Saadiq is a very talented singer, musician and producer and his credits are evidence of that. He is credited on a varied and ecclectic mix of albums from artist’s such as D’Angelo, Snoop Dogg, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Mos Def, The Isley Brothers, Kenny G, Earth Wind & Fire, The Grouch, Kelis, Lionel Richie, John Legend, John Mellencamp, Mary J Blige, The Roots, Bilal, A Tribe Called Quest, Ginuwine, Whitney Houston, and many others. And yes, I did say Kenny G.

Third song is from the new project One Day As A Lion which features Jon Theodore (from The Mars Volta) on drums and Zac de la Rocha (from Rage Against the Machine) on vocals/keys. The track is called “Wild International” and it sounds exactly like what you would expect this duo to come up with…
