Quddus Presents: The Tracks of the Week

Phoenix "1901"

If your doing a party this holiday weekend, feel free to throw this in the mix. Phoenix has an incredible sound and if this track doesn't get you excited you might need a therapist. Download it here

Maxwell "Pretty Wings"

Maxwell earned a warm welcome back with this song about coming to terms with a break up. Lines like, "Toyed with my affliction, had to fill out my prescription. Found the remedy, I had to set you free" are examples of the clarity he finds. Download it here

Jay-Z "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)"

I addressed how lame the use of autotune was becoming a few months ago on my blog and now Jay makes it official. This track is filled with sharp lines like, "I know we facing a recession but the music y'all are making gonna make it the great depression". Download it here
