   i Heard it On: Okayplayer



4. Kanye West (Ft. Rihanna), "All of The Lights" (Stream) (AR: For me, this track is the one of the secondary highlights of Kanye's Short Film "Runaway." A surprisingly large soundscape in which Kanye and Rihanna know exactly where each of them belongs.)

   i Heard it On: Stereogum



5. MGMT, “Congratulations (Erol Alkan Rework)” (stream) (AR: Don't be fooled by the clichéd intro - this MGMT "rework" has got a great dance groove, and melodic depth.)

4. New Jack Kings feat. Mayer Hawthorne, "Ask Of You", (stream/mp3) (Ant: I like they sampled the classic Raphael Saadiq song and owned it and Hawthorne comes in on some 80s R&B tip. Not Mad. Click here to download mp3)
