VIDEO: Idle Warship - Black Snake Moan

Awwww yeaaaaaa. This might be my December jam of the month.

VIDEO: Novel feat. Ben Folds, Talib Kweli and Spree - I Am

Ben Folds has the pop-friendly, hook-driven piano ballads that I've always felt would fit well on a hip-hop track (imagine "Brick" on loop with a deep bass line? Damn!).

Props to Novel for producing this sample of my favorite Folds song, "The Luckiest." Shout-out to Ike.

Idle Warship - Black Snake Moan

Another one from Kweli and Res, thank goodness.
