Work Songs For Labor Day

It's LABOR DAY! Which, paradoxically, means most people don't work. Shazam! In the spirit of the holiday, though, I wanted to drop a few work-themed tracks to remind you how nice it is to have a day off every once in a while.

The first comes from Wale's latest mixtape, the follow-up to his Mixtape About Nothing, More About Nothing. It's called "The Work (Workin)" and has a few little digs at Rick Ross. Don't get wrapped up in the beef, though, it's not gonna go anywhere.

The second is a sweet little remix from Yes Giantess, of the Body Language track "Work This City." Both of these bands are up-and-comers worth keeping an eyes on. Body Language played a fun set that I caught at SXSW, and from what I hear, Yes Giantess are not to be missed in concert. Work this city indeed.

And finally, a bit of a stretch, but it's a dope song with the word "job" in the title - Lil Wayne's "Ice Cream Paint Job." I forgot about this song, but it's got a fun swirling beat and Lil Wayne doing his off-the-top style flow. Off the No Ceilings mixtape, it's not substantial, but neither should it be forgotten.
