Big Sean & Friends Control The Loop
Posted by Roberto in IN THE LOOP on August 26, 2013
‘Control (HOF)’, the collaboration between Big Sean, Jay Electronica & Kendrick Lamar has proven to be a winner, despite copywright reasons preventing it to appear in Sean’s new album. Lamar’s inflamed verse asking all current big players in hip-hop to better their game fuelled an online chain reaction and promped the song all the way up to the top of our loop.
Another hip-hop high profile collaboration, Earl Sweatshirt Feat. Frank Ocean, is the week’s highest debut. Other strong entries are the latest offerings by Poliça; Parquet Courts; Anna Calvi and the ballad that brings together the soulful talents of Janelle Monáe and Miguel .

Julia Holter’s All-Conquering Loud City Song
Posted by Roberto in IN THE LOOP on August 19, 2013
Julia Holter has done it again. The experimental artist from L.A. has beaten the high expectations surrounding the release of her third album, ‘Loud City Song’, delivering another great work of ethereal beauty. ‘Maxim’s I’ is this week’s top track.
Among an avalanche of new entries, the latest offerings by Volcano Choir; King Krule; Cults or Bill Callahan are some of the highest. However it’s Big Sean album’s discard -for copyright reasons- ‘Control (HOV)’ the strongest of them all, thanks to the contribution of Jay Electronica, Kendrick Lamar and the latter’s controversial verse prompting the cream of Today’s hip-hop to better the genre’s quality.
