Theophilus London has been slaying the hip-hop world with some delicious, addictive beats in the past year.

The Brooklyn artist’s Lovers Holiday EP is set for release 2/8 and he’s currently giving off a track he collaborated on with Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara fame–“Why Even Try”.

You’ve just got to do as he asks (a simple task, really) and its yours. And “Why Even Try” drips with gorgeous synth, more of those curious rhymes, and some sexy, feels as if you can never reach her, vocal help from Ms. Quin.
