One of our favorite musical discoveries of 2013, Bronzeville rapper NoNameGypsy, recently teamed up with West South Side up-and-comer and Pivot Gang associate Mick Jenkins for a terrific new track called "Samaritan."

In the two weeks since the song was uploaded, "Samaritan" has garnered nearly 34,000 plays on Soundcloud. And for good reason: the track, produced by Keanon Terrell, is an effortlessly soulful head-bobber that nods to RZA's solo soundtrack work. The laid back, yet loquacious, flows of both Jenkins and Gypsy compliment the track perfectly. Listen to it here:
