The collaboration between rap titans Jay-Z & Kanye West has finally conquered the loop’s throne with a little help of ubiquitous R&B singer du jour Frank Ocean. ‘No Church In The Wild’ is the opening track of their joint album and one of the standouts too.
The return of the always mercurial Tom Waits predictably makes the week’s highest entry, followed closely by another high profile collaboration, this time between acclaimed alt. vocalists Bon Iver & James Blake and more awaited comebacks from the likes of Girls; Atlas Sound and Stephen Malkmus & The Jinks, plus free downloads courtesy of Megafaun; Plaid; Nikkiya; etc. ,
