Here is a pleasant twist to Melissa Polinar’s song “Never Change” off her EP As of Now. It’s a duet featuring the awesome Jennifer Chung adding a little bit of harmony and guest vocals. The original is great but I’m loving this subtle switch up too… if only there was a studio version too! Well, enough of me gushing – check it out for yourself.

[Music Video] Thai x Jackie Chain x Philthy Rich – “How Does It Feel”
454 has brought us a cross-regional banger featuring vocals by the West’s Thai & Philthy Rich and the South’s Jackie Chain. It’s a surprisingly soulful cut called “How Does It Feel”, where the MC’s take the opportunity to get a little introspective on the mic. This may be one of my favorite songs recently released by both 454 & Jackie. You can DL it for free here.

[Music Video] Young Chariz – “No Talkin”
Young Chariz wants to make sure you don’t forget that the release of his album It’s Curtains only a week away. His latest drop is the music video for “No Talkin”. The song is a little different from most of his recent work. Geared towards the ladies, the track takes a much smoother approach and is actually the first official single off the album. You can pick up the LP June 7th.
[New Song] Chris Cendana – “I’ll Remember You”
This song dropped yesterday and was perfectly fitting for the Memorial Day holiday. “I’ll Remember You” is Chris Cendana’s dedication to those that had a big impact in our lives but is no longer with us. It’s a moving, sentimental tune with a slight country vibe to it. I honestly could see this being a hit if it found it’s way into the hands of Country star.
[Interview] Erika David w/ Nicki Sun

Any of our UK readers will also be glad to know she’s going out to perform across the pond. Check it out in full below! Wait for the end for a few a surprise cameos.
[Single Release] Adam WarRock Features on Beefy’s “Shots” [Free DL]
This track dropped the other week but in case you’re not a vigilant WarRock fan and missed it, we wanted to be sure to share with you too. Beefy teams up with AW to remix a Gnarls Barkley track and have deemed it “Shots”. Just so you know, they ain’t talking about being under the influence of guns. The song has a fun vibe to it but what else would you expect when spitting over a GB instrumental? Get it for free here.
