The Roots - Make My [Official Video] off of undun (2011/12/06).  Full song features Big K.R.I.T. 

undun is an existential re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974-1999). Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilizing a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented--postmortem--and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.

Some Really Good New Music

I love this track: fucking awesome production, Curren$y kills it, & I've never heard Fiend before, but he's got a smooth ass voice.
Curren$y Feat. Fiend - Executive Brass by The People's Poseur
Check out another killer jazzy collabo track from these two here.

The original was previously posted on The People's Poseur. Jay-Z kills it here and I'm highly critical when it comes to Jay-Z.

"XXXO (Remix)" by M.I.A. Feat Jay-Z.

Listen for 3 Stacks! And I know sex sells, but damn . . .
