From one of the year’s more polished releases in Elzhi’s Elmatic, here’s the video interpretation for the track ‘Memory Lane’. The Illmatic-rework hit all the right buttons and was a high powered showcase of the Detroit MC’s lyrical ability. If I were to make one of those end of the year, Top 2011 list thingies, Elmatic would undoubtedly have a spot.

Following up on their single ‘Sexual Lifestyle‘, Aussie clan Strange Talk have gone ahead and commissioned a stellar remix package. The track gets new life from some impressive names in RESET!, Bart B More, and Those Usual Suspects. All three have a flavour of their own, so get yours below. Questionable footwear attire aside, these Australian kids have some decent taste in music.

DOWNLOAD: The Weeknd – Echoes of Silence
Completing the trilogy, The Weeknd finally delivers the final chapter in Echoes of Silence. An adventurous listen from top to bottom, the sound of the mixtape aligns more with House Of Balloons in my opinion, while still maintaining an independent sound. All nine tracks sound incredible with early nods to ‘D.D’, ‘XO / The Host’ and ‘The Fall’. Full stream and download below. – @SpcPck

First ever music video from Virginia-based Suns Of Society. The first thing that came to mind when I heard this track was Outasight (times four), which is always a good thing. Check these guys out, I have a feeling that their soulful vibes will be making waves in 2012.

It’s the most un-wonderful time of the year again. Finals season. The time of year where the library becomes your second home and you ask yourself why you failed to learn this shit during the actual time allotted to learn it (the semester). Before you give your brain any cramps, take some time out to listen to this new track from Mansions on the Moon. ‘Leaves Fall’ is the first leak from the trio’s upcoming Lightyears EP (executive production being handling by Pharrell), so thankfully there’s more of this coming in the near future. Enjoy the addition to your study playlists and shouts to everybody fighting the good fight.
