Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On
This song has to be one of the best feel-good rap songs I’ve heard in ages. I put the video on loop for weeks until iTunes decided to offer it as a download and then I listened to it on my iPod for weeks after that.

John Legend/Andre 3000 – Green Light (MSTRKRFT Remix)
MSTRKRFT are already well on their way to getting their “I Effing Love…” post, but I haven’t got around to write it yet. Their remixes are gold, and this one is no exception.
Kid Cudi – Day ‘N’ Nite
I heard the remix of this song in the car on the way to campus one day. It was one of those ‘perfect’ remixes that you can just feel the hook coming, and it’s going to be amazing. I ended up missing 10 minutes of a class because we just chilled in the car until the song was over.
N.A.S.A – Gifted
Gifted is a really incredible motivation song. From Kanye’s ego-fuelled verse on rising to the top, to Santogold’s verse on smacktalking adversity, the entire song really just pushes you to try harder at whatever you’re doing. My favourite part? Lykke Li’s chorus.
