Oh, how I’ve missed the sweet sounds of Aloe Blacc. It’s been over three years since one of music’s most slept-on soul slingers hit it big with “I Need a Dollar,” but it was all the way back in 2006 when Aloe released his debut album, Shine Through. As part of their online compilation, The Beat Box (exclusive to Drip.FM subscribers), Stones Throw have re-issued this absolute gem of an album cut, “One Inna,” produced my Madlib. Those summery chimes, the subtle bassline and that voice; this is music that hits you right in the sweet spot. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am right now.

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports has acquired yet another new client. After signing Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and WNBA rookie Skylar Diggins, Hov’s sports agency has forayed into the NFL and added New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith to its roster. With 21-year-old Brazilian soccer star Neymar also rumored to join Roc Nation Sports, it looks like Jay is plotting to claim a stake in multiple major sports. Buying a brand new Mercedes for his clients isn’t a bad way to go about it, either.
