I don't know about your time perception abilities, but my April went by very, very quickly. When John sent out his traditional PajamaGram(TM) to remind me of my column due date, it definitely came as a surprise. Luckily I had taken the time to acquire some pretty good new music to share with you in the last 30 days. The mix below features new tracks from Aesop Rock (new release forthcoming), El-P (new release awesome), I Self Divine, and many more. I put the Nicki Minaj track in there because if you haven't heard it you should - if only to be able to have any kind of informed conversation about popular hip hop, mainstream misogyny, and dope-ass beatz. Enjoy this last Friday of April mix responsibly: it is NSFW and if consumed in large quantities can lead to poor decision-making.
