TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Yung Joc - "Getting to da Money" Last year, Atlanta rapper Yung Joc blew up a little with a debut long on stoned, hooky synth-beats, coolly drawled street stories and one great single ("It's Goin' Down"), but short on anything unique. No big changes for Hustlenomics. Joc more often evokes a lesser, Southern version of the Game, connecting the dots on bangers like "Getting to da Money." Click HERE for more on Yung Joc's latest album.

DAILY VIDEO: Exclusive Trailer - The Deerhoof-Soundtracked, Mandy Moore and Billy Crudup-Starring Film "Dedication"

DAILY REVIEW: Manu Chao - La Radiolina Like 2001's Proxima Estacion: Experanza, eventually La Radiolina's more guitar-based sonics will feel inevitable, especially once you follow the same dynamic riff through three consecutive songs up front. The attention getter, especially in Anglophone America, will be "Rainin in Paradize," which curtly explains why country after country in Africa and the Middle East is "no good place to be."

ARTIST OF THE DAY: KANYE WEST The complete ROLLINGSTONE.COM archive includes videos, photos, interviews, reviews, and more.
