Earl Sweatshirt blesses us with the third track from his hugely awaited debut album, Doris (no, seriously, it’s actually called Doris). The follow-up to “Chum” and “Whoa,” “Guild” features Mac Miller and has a distinctively drugged-out, chopped-and-screwed feel to it. Although yet to be scheduled with a release date, Doris is rumored to have a plethora of high profile contributors: Tyler, The Creator, Frank Ocean, RZA, Pharrell and The Alchemist, to name a few.

Hot97‘s Peter Rosenberg shared some very interesting information about J. Cole’s Born Sinner album during this morning’s segment of The Realness. According to insider knowledge, Cole has a track on his sophomore LP tentatively titled “I Disappointed Nas.” As the story goes, the Queensbridge MC reached out to Jermaine after he heard “Workout” and expressed his disappointment with the single.

Supposedly there’s a song on the J. Cole album called something along the lines of “I Disappointed Nas,” about how Nas supposedly reached out to J. Cole after he heard “Workout” and was like, “Nah, fam. I expected more from you than this.” And supposedly J. Cole gets really personal and has a whole song about how it felt to have disappointed, obviously, one of his heroes in music, Nas.

This definitely makes the June 18 album sales race more interesting, with J. Cole’s Born Sinner, Kanye West’s Yeezus and Mac Miller’s Watching Movies with the Sound Off all hitting stores that day. Who do you think will sell the most?

For those you enjoying Daft Punk’s latest release, Random Access Memories, there’s one other piece of audio from the album that may have not heard. Included on the Japanese version is a tranquil instrumental track dubbed “Horizon.” It’s soothing and a bit trippy, with drums kicking in about halfway through. Let’s see if any rapper is slick enough to try and rap over the latter half. I think Chance the Rapper could freak it. Daft Punk is already working on remixes to songs from the project. “Get Lucky” is first up.

“We’re working on some mixes ourselves,” Bangalter told MTV. “So, yes, there will probably be Daft Punk mixes of Daft Punk. Usually, we never mix ourselves, that’s something we feel we’re interested in doing this time.”
