Yesterday I had some hot hip hop tracks, today we’ll take a more alternative route. So enjoy these few cuts. All are worth a download for sure. Enjoy!

“Next Best Thing” – Nikki & Rich [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Scott Vener [check out his blog Broke Mogul for some great music], music supervisor for HBO’s Entourage believes Nikki & Rich are soon-to-be-superstars. After hearing this single, I can see why. With great production and 60′s era musicality covered with Nikki’s surprisingly soulful voice, this track is a handful– and I ain’t mad. — and I ain’t mad.

“Live Like We’re Dying” – Kris Allen [DOWNLOAD HERE]

[Props to Valdez Steed]. I’m a sucker for smooth joints, and this is just that. From the American Idol 8th Season winner, Kris Allen, Live Like We’re Dying is a smooth rock joint with great lyrics. Call this feel-good music.

“Fireflies” – Owl City [DOWNLOAD HERE]

You know that joint that’s been out for so long it’s technically old but you, for some odd reason, haven’t heard it until say— 6 months after its release? Yea… this is that cut. Simply addicting. Don’t know which one I like better…the sound, or the lyrics. I’ll let you decide.

“Runaway Girl” – Drake f. Colin Munroe [DOWNLOAD HERE]

Ok ok, technically this isn’t alternative. But who cares, it’s hot. Oh and Colin Munroe?– get up on em.

AR!
