Big K.R.I.T. offers up some more southern cooking as part of his "Week of K.R.I.T.", a song-a-day offering that runs until Sunday. Here he enlists A$AP Ferg over a mellow, throwback beat. As is the case with most K.R.I.T. jams, cruising windows-down on a smooth night is encouraged. Listen/Download "Lac Lac" below free of charge:
While altogether sonically different than an Animal Collective track, Avey Tare's "Little Fang" effortlessly exemplifies the frontman's ability to find rhythm in the most peculiar melodies. Also, +1 for the puppet (courtesy of Jim Henson's Creature Shop). Enter The Slasher House is out April 8th via Domino Records. [Directed by Abby Portner]
De La Soul deftly drop their definitive and effortless flows, trading bars over a slick J. Dilla beat. The result: wax on wax. Would you expect anything else from this classic pairing? The track is off the upcoming Smell The D.A.I.S.Y. mixtape, featuring exclusive production from the late, great Dilla. Check out "Dilla Plugged In" below.

While fans of Joshua Leary should be no strangers to his hard-hitting, bass driven tracks, it appears as though his progression under the Evian Christ project is leaning towards more chaotic and industrial soundscapes. Unsurprisingly, the self-titled lead single off his upcoming Waterfall EP builds upon the undoubtedly influential work that led to Kanye West's Yeezus, a project in which Leary found himself contributing production. What emerges is an aggressive assault on the ears that represses any notions of Evian Christ's former tranquil beats, leaving a maelstrom of free-flowing and anarchic ideas. Waterfall is out March 17th on Tri Angle.
