While Paul Bank's Interpol and RZA's Wu Tang Clan both have their share of classic albums, their brainchild Banks & Steelz has never quite lived up to their predecessors. Still, the unlikely duo has established a clear creative chemistry, having released an album Anything But Words last year. It appears the group is not slowing down anytime soon, and they have officially dropped their new single "Who Needs The World."

Over a slow-burning groove and some frantic electric-guitar work, RZA and Banks reflect on the current state of the planet, musing over politics, weather, and social status. If you even remotely feel this, and want something a little outside your hip-hop comfort zone, Interpol's debut album Turn On The Bright Lights is most definitely worth checking out.

Quotable Lyrics

I'm about to embark, go far, far, far on a new excursion
Not dyin' or talkin' bout flyin' fifty million miles above the surface
Happiness, is that satisfaction I'm satisfied with the main attraction
