free music from the man himself as a little pretext to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which drops on the 22nd of november. bursting mad hard at the seams of all that is music, he features artists who make for a most star-studded & colorful stuffing (lupe, kid cudi, mos def, curtis mayfield, pusha t, keri hilson, jay-z, common, john legend, even that wildly annoying beiber person doesn't sound too shabby). Until M.B.D.T.F. willingly invades our lives (ahem: officially), tracks that could be considered legitimate enough to be a mini-album on their own shall more than suffice (personal faves: devil in a new dress & don't look down). this man is a goddamn genius.

Skin and ideas decompose
That which we did compose. _Corri Alius
