Free Single of the Week, Featuring Outasight

It's Tuesday again, and the iTunes Music Store has released a free single. The week's free download is "Catch Me If You Can" by Outasight.

From the iTunes Music Store:

"After singeing ear canals with a string os mixtapes, Outasight is catching fire in a major way. This cat from Yonkers is trained in the art of moving butts with a unique rhyme style and chipped perspective. 'Catch Me If You Can' pairs Outasight's laidback sing-song flow (what if Buck 65 taught Eric Burdon to rap?) with fuzz guitar, horn sprays and a slow-roll tempo that cooks."

It's Tuesday again, and the iTunes Music Store has released a free single. The week's free download is "Fornever" by Murs & 9th Wonder.

From the iTunes Music Store:

"This dynamic duo first linked in 2004, when 9th Wonder's name was buzzing – thanks to lacing beats for Jay-Z and Destiny's Child – and Murs was establishing himself as one of indie hip-hop's most charismatic, hardworking MCs. For the pair's third album, Fornever, the gents stick to their successful format: 9th concocts biscuits bubbling with buttery soul samples, while Murs spreads his conversational flow effortlessly. The title track features Snoop's partner Kurupt and finds Murs bragging about his style: a mix between Tookie Williams and Shakespeare."
