Sir Michael Rocks’s Banco EP is still in “Coming Soon!” status. In the meantime, check out the second trailer for the project featuring the track “Money Came.” The beats are sounding real good thus far. The clip was directed by Mars of FlightLife Films.
With the new single for his sophomore album due this week, J.Cole has decided to clear out five songs that won’t make the final cut via a new EP entitled Truly Yours. As expected, Cole is claiming the new project is his best work. Check out his recent blog entry for more insight and the song sample below.
It’s time.
I appreciate you giving me the time I needed to grow, experiment, and find the direction for my 2nd album.. And I have.
Along the way I’ve recorded at least 4 albums worth of material, lots of it being unfinished demo versions waiting to be polished up, some of them are great songs and important stories that just won’t make the album (either they don’t fit Sonically, don’t fit Theme, or there’s just not enough space) .Tonight, I want to give you a few of these songs because you deserve them. It’s hard as fuck for me to keep all this music from you for so long, so I know it’s been hard for you to wait. Thank you for your patience. Vibe out to these songs in their raw form, no polish.. just a lot of my soul..
The wait is over.
Truly Yours,
Born Sinner
PS- 1st single coming this week. The album is hands down my best work yet. Can’t wait to share.

Seriously, Cocaine 80′s is one of the more underrated groups to emerge over the last few years. No I.D. is in the zone right now regardless of who he works with. Common and Jhene Aiko do well in adding to the melodic, soulful smoothness of the arrangements. This will be featured on the new Cocaine 80′s EP entitled Flower of Life.
