Best Downloads Of The Week (8/30/13)

Aaaand we’re back! We took last week off because I was on vacation and, well, compiling this feature every week is one of my main jobs around here. But enough about me, let’s get to the week’s biggest news story: Danny Brown’s Old finally has a release date (Sept. 30). Equally awesome was seeing El-P take part in Rhythm Roulette wherein he made a beat out of three records he bought while blindfolded. We also found out what to expect from Flying Lotus’ Grand Theft Auto V radio station while J Dilla’s uncle announced he’s opening a doughnut shop in its nephew’s honor. Aw.

In other news, Knxwledge announced a new EP and album … and dropped a new project in a single day, MellowHype and Domo Genesis revealed the details for their MellowHigh project, and the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, um, happened. Oh, and there’s a pretty killer lineup for this fall’s Smokers Club tour. Be there. We also put together our monthly 5 Hip-Hop Acts You Need to Know feature and absolutely loved YC The Cynic’s new album, GNK.
