• Music Times 25 Best Songs of 2014: Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Hozier, St. Vincent & More

    2014 was the year of a thousand controversies: Taylor Swift pulled all of her music from Spotify, Sun Kil Moon started a feud with The War On Drugs, Jack White accused The Black Keys of ripping him off (again), and almost nobody went platinum. When you put all of that aside, however, what you're left with is a bunch of incredible songs, which is really what it's all about. Here are the 25 best songs from 2014, as determined by Music Times writers Ryan Book, Caitlin Carter, Joey DeGroot, Kyle Dowling, and Carolyn Menyes.

  • A$AP Ferg Drops 'Ferg Forever' Mixtape

The album includes Ferg's recently released "Talk It," and includes guest appearances by YG, Twista, M.I.A., and Big Sean, as well as A$AP Nast, the only other A$AP Mob member to appear.

  • Chief Keef Reveals Artwork, Tracklist For 'Mansion Musick' Mixtape [PHOTO]

    This coming Friday, November 28 (yes, Black Friday), Chicago rapper Chief Keef will be dropping his latest mixtape "Mansion Musick," and today he's shared the artwork and tracklist, which you can check out below.

  • Flying Lotus Shares Doom Collaboration 'Masquatch' From 'Grand Theft Auto V' [LISTEN]

    Just yesterday, experimental hip-hop producer Flying Lotus shared a new track from the upcoming re-release of Grand Theft Auto V called "Medication Meditation," featuring Krayzie Bone. Today, FlyLo is back with "Masquatch," another weird yet incredible song from the soundtrack, featuring underground hip-hop visionary DOOM (a.k.a. MF DOOM, a.k.a. Viktor Vaughn, a.k.a. King Geedorah). The track's extremely brief running time (it comes it under two minutes) is reminiscent of DOOM's classic Madlib collaboration Madvillain, and its abstract, hookless production wouldn't sound out of place on their Madvillainy LP.

  • A$AP Ferg Shares New Song 'This Side' Featuring YG [LISTEN]

    A$AP Ferg and YG's BestCoast Connection Tour kicks off tomorrow, Nov. 13, so it is only appropriate that they would record a new song together to celebrate. "This Side" features a highly repetitive trap beat courtesy of THE FAM, while both Ferg and YG deliver some brilliantly eccentric and nimble verses.You can check out A$AP Ferg and YG's "This Side" here:"Hot New Hip-Hop" points out that THE FAM's beat for "This Side" is pretty much identical to the beat in Danny Seth's "I Arise Because," produced by Ducko Mcfli and JGramm Beats, which is scandalous. You can check out Danny Seth's "I Arise Because" here and hear for yourself:

  • Watch A$AP Rocky Perform Unreleased "Pretty Flacko 2" [WATCH]

    At Red Bull's Culture Clash over the weekend in Los Angeles, ASAP Rocky decided to treat the fans to a little something special by performing his unreleased track "Pretty Flacko 2". Better yet, it was caught on camera by the Red Bull team and the internet caught wind of it, giving us our best listen and viewing of the track yet.

  • 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky Drop New Verses on Shy Glizzy's 'Awwsome' Remix [LISTEN]

    Up-and-coming Washington, D.C., rapper Shy Glizzy has shared a remix of his 2013 single "Awwsome," featuring new verses from 2 Chainz and A$AP Rocky, which you can check out below. The blend of their voices works pretty well, since 2 Chainz's and A$AP Rocky's deliveries serve as a nice contrast to Glizzy's more high-pitched tone of voice.

  • YG, ASAP Ferg Announce 'BestCoast Connection' Tour Dates For November [FULL SCHEDULE]

    Compton rapper YG and New York rapper A$AP Ferg have teamed up for a brief string of tour dates in November, Complex reports.

  • Sam Smith, A$AP Rocky Share 'I'm Not The Only One' Remix, Name-Drop Beyoncé

    British R&B singer Sam Smith has shared a remix of his latest single "I'm Not The Only One" on his Soundcloud page, which you can check out below. The remix features two new verses from Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky, who opens up the song with some references to Sasha Fierce, a.k.a. Beyoncé. Though a rap verse wouldn't seem like a natural fit with the song's retro atmosphere, A$AP pulls it off very nicely with his impressive flow.

  • Trailer For A$AP Rocky Movie Released, Titled 'SVDDXNLY' [WATCH]

    Though Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky is just 25 years old and has only a single album to his name (2013's Long. Live. A$AP), he's apparently done enough during his short career to warrant a documentary about his life and rise to fame. The documentary is titled SVDDXNLY and has been helmed by Noisey, who released the film's trailer today, which you can watch below. Noisey also released a statement about the film.
