The interwebs were buzzing this morning with rumors of a new collaboration with Grammy-award-winning robots Daft Punk and hip hop legend Jay Z. At one point, people were even speculating that Kanye West was behind the project. After a while, bloggers and fans alike were closing the file on the case, claiming it to be a hoax.

However, an article by Pitchfork later confirmed this track as being completely real… a fact that really, really upset me.

In my opinion, the track is shit. The recording quality is bad and Jay Z’s flow and general style don’t match up with the “Computerized” melody. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of both parties involved. Huge! This partnership just doesn’t cut it.

It seems as though everyone involved is trying way too hard to make this a good song. The chord progression is wonky and Jay Z rhymes “Blackberry” with “Blackberry…” Seriously? Even the cinematic strings toward the end of the song seem like they were added in last minute to give the song some extra umph.

The only redeeming thing about this track is the fact that it sounds more like the classic Daft Punk then anything on their award-winning album Random Access Memories which was made up of more real instruments as opposed to my preference of electronic and computer synthesized ones.

While it is still unknown as to when, where, or why this track was recorded, I personally am still hoping and praying that the track is a hoax — or at least something some bored sound engineer cut together with bootlegs.

What do you think of the Daft Punk Jay Z collaboration?

Download Tell Me – RL Grime & What So Not for free right here. 

The track combines RL Grime‘s dirty horn-driven trap with What So Not‘s tender and melodic breakdowns and verses and produces one hell of a track that is without a doubt in my mind going to be one of the biggest singles played at festivals and shows all year long.

For now, RL Grime continues to tour around the states while What So Not is on the road with GTA. Both will be hitting up festivals world-wide.

After becoming one of the biggest breakout artists of 2013, touring across the country, and announcing a multitude of festival dates, Disclosure continues to please fans across the globe by producing a hip hop track with NY-based rapper Bishop Nehru.

Also known as Markel Scott, Bishop Nehru has also been climbing the ladder of recognition with multiple mixtapes including one with hip hop legend MF Doom.

The track is a perfect combination of everyone involved: the old school, glitchl hip hop track provided by Disclosure mixed with the soft and complicated flow by Bishop Nehru makes for an all around dope-ass track that is sure to inspire a number of other rappers — or “hip hop artists” to start working with Disclosure, or hopefully other EDM artists all together.
