Can there be anything more anticipated than new Lil Wayne material? Ever since the New Orleans lyrical gangsta who’s disputably rap’s MVP got incarcerated last year, hip-hop heads (and a lot of other people, too) have been curious about what his next move would be. Well, now we know that he’s going to be dropping an e.p. on Wayne’s birthday, September 7th, and that the track “Right Above It” is the first thing leaked from it.

Even Drake agrees – Nardwuar’s interview with the multiplatinum Canuck rapper is indeed the best he’s ever had.

Heads put L.A.’s ultimate glitch auteur Nosaj Thing into the IDM camp, but his latest remix of rap superstar Drake’s “Forever” demonstrates how much his mature style owes to West Coast boom bap. This is actually a remix of a remix, with Lil Wayne, Kanye, and Eminem all adding verses to Drake’s original hit. While the initial version was powerful enough, Nosaj’s gives it a dark, edgy intensity that truly complements the supreme lyricism on offer.
