TYLER: LONE WOLF?
So OFWGKTA's sassiest funkachino Tyler is all signed up with the UK's XL. Time to kick back with a couple of 40s and watch the tonk abs and shit-eating grin deteriorate into a coke-bloated spectre with ice cream cone facial tattoos about two weeks after he cashes the advance cheque. Take us down with you Tyler. Don't forget the burbs.
SHMALENTINE
Here's a heartation from Jessie Ware + Sampha. It's deep like the bottomless heartpit you tried to fill with curly fries last night.

WU LYF CLAN
If you aren't going to watch Wu Lyf at their London gig at Corsica Studios tonight, you may as well open the window and jump. We don't know how these teenaged dudes got to sound like a road-raging Jennifer Herrema on a serious laryngitis tip; but they do and it's most excellent.

GET RICH OR DIE ANTWOORD
There's something so creepily early 90s about actual people using real drugs (well, weed) and totally tattooing themselves while dropping the f-bomb like they're not on a major label with a mostly tweenaged fanbase.
Die Antwoord's 'trailer' for Rich Bitch is the 2k11 equivalent of that guy with Slayer cut into his arm buying his first cellphone from Cypress Hill and snakeboarding home to NIN's Closer (I Wannna Eff You Like An Animal) while calling up the cast of Mallrats to 'vent'.
Oh, and 'director' Kobus Holnaaier's surname means 'holefucker' in Afrikaans.
No wonder these guys would rather be shopping for hipster accoutrements in LA and smoking fragrance-free cigarettes with David Lynch and calling Buraka Son Sistema 'Baraka Obama' and saying stuff like, "How cool is Eric fuckin Bana?".
But no pain, no gain - check out Wadkin Tudor Jones aka 'Ninja' honing his craft with some authentically scaly Cape Town dudes.
