At first I was planning on talking about Wale's debut LP Attention Deficit, which features a track produced by TSRE favorite David Sitek and is aptly titled TV in the Radio. The track also features TSRE fave K'Naan and some pretty catchy horns.

Unfortunately I have been completely distracted by the brand spanking new mixtape from Chiddy Bang, which completely caught me by surprise last week. While I still see Chiddy Bang primarily as a flash in the pan product of hipsters in the blogosphere, The Swelly Express is actually exciting. Using some great samples, like Sufjan Mary Poppins in the massive jam Never, and omnipresent handclaps, they certainly know the way to a hipster's heart. The rhymes are playful and I've found myself listening to it a lot in the past few days. Definitely worth a listen and you might be pleasantly surprised by Chiddy Bang's growth. Download the mixtape for free here (thanks for the headsup from Neon Gold)
