Tito Lopez has been everywhere lately, and SXSW was no exception. He was even included in my boss's The Well Versed feature, The 10 Best Kept Secrets At SXSW. Watch below as the Mississippi rapper proves why he deserved the honor as he blesses Shade 45's Sway In The Morning with an a capella.

Rita Ora ft.Tinie Tempah & Drake - R.I.P. (I'm Ready For Ya) (Remix)

Artwork by Kenny
Drake penned Rita Ora's latest single "R.I.P." so it's only right that he appear on the remix, which combines his original demo with the Kosovo born singer's vocals and Tinie Tempah's verse. Not sure how I feel about the track yet, but the Drizzy assist definitely helps give the single a push.

Kalenna - "Justin Bieber" ft. Jarren Benton


It's #NewMusicMonday from Kalenna, and she doesn't disappoint with her new take on Jarren Benton's "Justin Bieber." She trades in the do-re-mi's for a hot sixteen, and I'm not mad about it at all. Can't imagine what's coming out next week.
