I'm only four tracks in so far, but Wolf is already sounding exactly how I wanted to. Yeah, the loud, shock rap is how he exploded onto the scene in the first place, but that Goblin-esque music gets old quick. I was secretly hoping for more of the "Analog" vibe, which is exactly what tracks like "Cowboy" and "Awkward" bring to the table. I'm gonna go bump the remainder of the album, and on April 2nd, you can find me at my friendly neighborhood record store giving Tyler ten bucks. I suggest you follow suit. Stream down bottom.

Hassani Kwess - "Matterbomb The Canidae Regalia"
With his latest project The Kwess Never Sleeps nearing its release, DC rapper and producer Hassani Kwess unleashes the tape's first single in "Matterbomb The Canidae Regalia." Here, Kwess sticks to his MO, handling both the production and spitting reigns to create an outspoken joint that leaves us begging for The Kwess Never Sleeps to drop sooner than later.

While he puts the final touches on his upcoming album, debonair singer Robin Thicke grabs Tip and Pharrell for the visual to the project's lead single, "Blurred Lines."
If this fun, sultry single is any sign of what the entire album will sound like, I'll be copping for sure.

Danny Brown - "Kush Coma" (prod. Skywlkr)
With his highly anticipated XXX follow up due out this summer, Danny Brown took to Twitter today to unveil the first look into OLD with the Skywlkr produced "Kush Coma." With the final version expected to feature A$AP Rocky, this go-hard banger will be sure to be a fan favorite when Daniel's second LP finally hits.
Vampire Weekend is Back, Debuts Two New Tracks
This is the first time I've shared any of their music on KWT, so I'm not gonna sit here and act like I'm some all-knowing VW superfan. However, I have been a lowkey fan of their discography ever since Cudder did his thing over "Ottoman" a few years back. Anyway, after a three year hiatus from releasing new music, the NYC indie band are back in a big way, with their third studio album Modern Vampires of the City due out this May. With the release date quickly approaching, VW gave us the first look into the LP by unleashing VotC's first two singles in visual form.
Above, you'll hear "Diane Young," an infectious, danceworthy cut set to a backdrop of a burning Volvo somewhere in New York City. After the jump, though, delve into the much more laid back "Step," for which you'll find a lyric video featuring some of NYC's most iconic locations. Both are very refreshing to hear, and, even on a night when my most anticipated album of 2013 hit, they'll be included in the evening's playlist.

Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience (Album)
It's finally here. Seven years removed from his last project, Justin Timberlake returns with his third solo LP, The 20/20 Experience. With frequent JT collaborator Timbaland taking the production reigns and a guest feature from Jigga, The 20/20 Experience looks like a classic on paper before even pressing play. But, as the former N'Sync frontman proved with both Justified and Future Sex/ Love Sounds, his music definitely lives up to the hype. I'm expecting no different with this project, as JT's two singles have been nothing short of instant classics. Head below where you'll find an iTunes link for the album, which, at a measly $10, is a small price for such an incredible round up of music.

The Triads - "We Got It Wrong" (feat. St. Lucia)
The Triads are an alternative hip-hop trio comprised of 3 individuals: Deen Garba, 20, James Black, 19, and Shaheen Lashani, 19. They are new to the website, but with the first listen I can already tell we will be seeing more of these guys. If they aren't featured again, it's probably because they got it wrong... terrible puns seem funny to me today. Sorry. Just listen.

The Purist x Danny Brown - "Jealousy" (Video)
I must've looked past this one when it dropped a few days back, but it's far too dope to leave untouched. London producer The Purist links up with Fools Gold's own Danny Brown for video number three from his recently release TRI-LL EP.
The Purist's light, atmospheric production leaves a perfect stream for Danny's rough, gritty lines, making this a must watch for any fan of Detroit go-hard spitter.

Flipped: Major Harris - "Love Won't Let Me Wait"
It's been far too long, Kids. Far, far too long, but Flipped, my personal favorite KWT segment, is finally back. After a nearly 365 day interlude, Major Harris' smooth sounds are at the forefront of Kids Wasting Time, as his My Way classic is featured on today's installment of Flipped.
With a soft bed of soulful strings and horns, 1975's "Love Won't Let Me Wait" is a sampling producers' best friend. Any guesses on who flipped Harris' classic top five single? Hit the jump below for the answer, stream and even a free download of the sampled track.

Like our boy Kanye, Danny Brown expresses his disgust on MTV's recently released "Hottest MCs" list. While the grimy Detroit spitter may not make the MTV cut, it's records like this that have turned him into a KWT mainstay. Oh, you think Danny's heavily slept on? #ThisIsTrue.
