I spy with my little eye…that Shawn Chrystopher jumped on the Mike Posner and Big Sean track “Who Knows” — I like this. Shawn Chrystopher’s gonna be big, I can feel it. The production isn’t great on this-but you get the idea.

Ryan Leslie and Rick Ross collaborating to produce “Maybachs and Diamonds.” I just love watching Ryan Leslie at work-he’s brilliant. His talent is out of this world.

“Emmanuelle” - Wyclef Jean

I love Wyclef’s gentle songs. He had quite a few on this album (Carnival Vol. II).

Enjoy. 

“No more lootin, no more robbin. No more stabbin, no more jackin. You made it, we made it. You made it, we made it, you made it, I made it, we made it, you made it.”

Is Kanye an amateur photographer, or is he following Theophilus London’s trend that started with the release of This Charming Mixtape?

I love Novel, Joell is a great rhymer, and Papoose killed it on this one!

“Everything Is Broken” - Mr. Hudson ft. Kid Cudi

Holy shit. Mr. Hudson and Kid Cudi on the same track? Two of my very very favorites. HELLO GOOD MUSIC! Thanks for making me smile!

“Easy now I tell you easy now

Before you say something that you don’t mean to say

Easy now, she tell me, easy now

Before I lose something I never find again”

Thanks to Trey for this one!

The beautiful thing about music is that it’s an infinite art.

Paintings peel; photographs fade; sculptures crumble,
but notes never change.

What a perfect way to perform this song. Be sure to check out the 2:20 mark-Cudi absolutely tells them. This is one of my favorite songs of the past few months.

“Pretty Girls” - Wale

Wale has a new track out that could potentially be a single from his upcoming album? It’s a radio rip so it’s clean, just FYI. Download here.

“Two Weeks” - Grizzly Bear

I apologize for this being the first time I’ve posted a Grizzly Bear song. This is a great group. Enjoy this song.

Article written by a fellow Dukie on Dukie himself, Mike Posner. Well-written and fun to read as a Duke student who’s been a fan and friend for years.

“Sans Soleil” - Miike Snow

There are so many songs I want to post today because I got a ton of new music today, but this one comes out as the front runner. I’d suggest any and all Miike Snow music, but this one is particularly soothing and peaceful. Great piano and vocals on top of a steady beat. 

About sunset in the rear view:

A blog devoted to a mix of beautiful music and up-and-coming artists' hit songs.

Consider me a small-scale A&R for your enjoyment. I tend to post hip-hop music, but I will often post other genres as well. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, please email me at lydia [dot] simmons [at] gmail.
