World's Fair rep Remy Banks goes head-to-head with fellow Queens native Wiki, of RATKING.. It makes sense that Remy Banks and RATKING's Wiki would team up for something. Individually, they're putting Queens rap back on the map; reigning over the borough of today in the way that 50 Cent and NAS reigned the borough of yesteryear. Banks, whose in the World's Fair Collective - a group making rugged, eerie raps - chucked out two new songs today, including the fast-but-smooth One Twenty Five., featuring RATKING’s Wiki on a killer guest verse with RATKING's Sporting Life providing a typically off-kilter beat that fans of the act will know and love.

Electro-popstress Elizabeth Rose chills New Navy's out even further.. November last year saw the release of New Navy's latest single Pelican, a typically breezy piece of chilled-out pop from the Sydney three-piece. And with the new year they're kicking things off with an equally chilled-out start thanks to Elizabeth Rose applying her certain set of electronic skills to a remix of Pelican. Unsurprisingly it's a bouncy little effort from Rose that keeps things pretty downbeat until the final stanza, where it grows to almost dancefloor-worthy.
