Kanye West's 2010-2011 is the Greatest 2 Year Stretch in Music History

I was listening to Rick Ross' "Live Fast, Die Young" a few weeks ago and "I Don't Like" came on next. Then "Christian Dior Denim Flow." Then "Devil in a New Dress" and "Niggas in Paris." And I thought, damn, Kanye had a really crazy 2010 and 2011. 

After discussing with a few friends and strengthening my argument, I landed here: 

Kanye West's 2010 and 2011 is the greatest 2 year stretch by a music artist in history

The Top One Percenters Mixtape Volume 22

Twice in one year? I'm officially back on my mixtape game lol. After taking 3 years between volume 20 and 21, we're trying to do things a bit quicker these days. The Top One Percenters Mixtape is up and running. See below for the Spotify embed. Included are superstars like Drake ("That's How You Feel") and Pusha T ("What Would Meek Do?"), but also a lot of summertime flexes and remixes from  Cardi B ("I Like It" Dillon Francis Remix) Dagny, Dua Lipa, Sean Paul (yes, that Sean Paul), Rae Sremmurd and more. Check out the rest of the mixtapes here and follow on Spotify.

Uffie - Drugs

Uffie...who is Uffie? It's kind of hard to say. She's a rapper/producer/DJ/designer who's been around for close to 15 years. I had heard a lot of her music back around 2009/2010 when she released her debut (and only) album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans. She had a song with Pharrell called "ADD SUV" (below) and a few other tracks. She's back on the scene and getting ready for new things so she just released "Drugs," her first single in 7 years, according to Wiki.

When I listen to "Drugs" the first thing I think of is A) this is a great record and B) this gives me vibes of Robyn's "Dancing On My Own". The melodies, the synths, the lyrics — amazing. Check out her new single above and check out a few other tracks below. Social channels are here: Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, and Instagram.

Calvin Harris - Feels (ft. Pharrell, Katy Perry & Big Sean) [Music Video]

The new Calvin Harris album is mental, monumental, incredible, sonic, phenomenal, it's summertime, poolside, beach vibes — it's everything. The fourth of July weekend was truly lit because of this and the Jay album. One of the recent official singles is "Feels", a Daft Punk vibing record that sees Pharrell back on his "Get Lucky" feel. Katy Perry and Big Sean are kinda along for the ride, but it's okay because the Pharrell/Calvin connection is like a Chris Paul/DeAndre Jordan alley oop (RIP Chris Paul/DeAndre Jordan alley oops). I mean, think about it — how awesome is a record when Katy Perry and Big Sean are a literal bonus?

JAY Z - I Just Wanna Love U (Planet Giza Remix)

This remix is basically a chillwave/dance version of JAY Z + Pharrell's classic "I Just Wanna Love U" from the 2000 album, The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. I've really been into the chill dance music shit for a few months and it shows no signs of slowing down. I swear, there's been a dearth of God level rap music recently.
