Single Minded: Fat Joe, Meshuggah, Kaki King, Snoop and Rick Ross

Every Tuesday Single Minded highlights new tracks hitting stores (or the Web) this week. On Fridays, come back for rarities, remixes, mash-ups and more. Fat Joe, The Elephant in the Room [Full Album Stream] Fat Joe’s latest is a grim, ominous concept record based on Horton Hears a Who. Meshuggah, “Bleed” [MySpace] Fleet-fingered metal precisionists return with another collection of smoldering double-time symphonies and one of the most unpleasant album covers since Brain Salad Surgery. Kaki King, “2 O’Clock” [MySpace] And speaking of fleet-fingered: New York guitar virtuoso Kaki King opens this song on her latest record with nimble arpeggios and the lyric “When you wake up you’ll be in such pain.” Just call her the Meshuggah of the coffee shop. Snoop Dogg, “Neva Have 2 Worry” [Official Site] Snoop’s latest is full of songs that reflect on his life and express concern about his future. “Neva Have 2 Worry” is the former. We’re not sure which “Sexual Eruption” is. Rick Ross feat. T-Pain, “The Boss” [MySpace] Rick Ross is the only man alive whose regular voice sounds screwed & chopped.

"obZen" by Meshuggah

Have you ever wondered, in your sadistic mind, what it would be like to receive a series of punches in the face, kicks to the neck, and knees to the groin from, say, mixed martial arts champ Chuck Liddell? Maybe you haven't, or maybe you have. But whatever the case, you probably don't have the necessary set of cajones to go toe-to-toe with Mr. Liddell. Well, if you want to listen to a piece of art that mimics what it would feel like to do battle with a martial artist, then crank the knobs on Meshuggah’s uber-mathematical obZen. This album isn't a dirty, short 'n sloppy street fight; it's a lengthy, careful, and calculated mixed martial arts bout. Over the course of their career, these Swedes have continued to manufacture mind-numbing, brain-teasing, highly intelligent metal, and the mechanical, well-oiled obZen is no different. Here, "Bleed," "Letherargica," and "obZen" aren't merely songs. They are like impenetrable walls of sound that are erected around your ears. But Meshuggah don't
