Alexandra Stan – Get Back (ASAP)

Fri, 04 Nov 2011 21:54:42 +0000

Although this track came out a few months ago, most people only know about Alexandra’s smash hit, Mr. Saxobeat. This has a similar sound and feel to Saxobeat, but is just different enough to sound fresh and different. Just throw this song into the party playlist and enjoy the weekend.

Return of the Mac

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 05:16:47 +0000

Early last week, Mac Miller dropped his latest mixtape “I Love Life, Thank You.” For those who have been following Mac, you know he also has a full feature album, “Blue Slide Park,” dropping on iTunes in the coming days (November 8th to be exact). Therefore, I am left to believe that a) most of the track on the mixtape didn’t quite cut it for the album, and b) this is just meant to wet your whistle in anticipation for the album. Despite (a) probably being true, there are some solid tracks on the tape, and you may as well download the whole mixtape simply because ALL of his stuff tends to be pretty solid. So, without further hold up, check it out.

Also, JUST in case you haven’t heard this yet (or havent seen the music vid), this is song off his upcoming album that is available on iTunes… Its dope.

Enjoy

GIVERS

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:00:06 +0000

A few weeks ago, my sister got married down in Atlanta… Being a groomsman, I had a chance to hit the town with the groom a couple nights before the big day. What does this have to do with music? Well, part of the night entailed checking out a concert by the Cold War Kids. While I do like CWK and thoroughly enjoyed their performance, the real show stopper was the warm up act, a rag tag jam band out of Louisiana by the name of GIVERS. Not only did they give off this incredible energetic and fun vibe, but the music was awesome, uplifting, and flat out fun. I want to compare them to Edward Sharp & the Magnetic Zeroes because of the wild stage performance and wide range of instruments, but they aren’t quite the same. Either way, I think you gotta check it out for yourself. If you like what you hear, I recommend you buy their whole album “In Light” for just $5 on Amazon (click here). Have a listen…

GIVERS – Up, Up, Up

GIVERS – Saw You First

The Weeknd – Thursday

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 19:10:29 +0000

Although I only just heard these guys for the first time with the drop of their latest mixtape, entitled Thursday, I think its appropriate that I am hearing the Canadian native for the first time while I myself am traveling Canada for the first time in my life. The sound is super-mellowed-out-alternative and is kinda slow, but it has a mesmerizing feel to it and is awfully well produced. Definitely give this tape a listen and watch out for more in the future..

OnCue – Feel Tall

Fri, 19 Aug 2011 18:57:37 +0000

Ive never really been the biggest OnCue fan, but I am one to give credit where credit is due. This song is pretty solid, but the video is soo dope. Cuey uses some stop motion cinematics to give this a really cool look and feel. Definitely worth taking a gander. Who knows, you may even be tempted to download it here…

I Can Only Imagine

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 15:55:33 +0000

Boom. Internship is donions. Time to party.

David Guetta, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne combine to make an awfully catchy track and a future club banger for sure. Give this a listen to and I am sure you’ll be sold.

Happy end of summer yo

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas

Sat, 13 Aug 2011 15:29:24 +0000

Although this isnt music, I think that this movie is actually going to be hilarious… Seems like the 3D part is more of a joke, but id almost rather see it used that way than for serious 3D (cause its not that great… yet). Anyways, if you havent seen the first one, you should. If you have, Im sure youll see this one too.

Blazed and Confused

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 04:01:08 +0000

So, just a quick life update; I am finally done with work tomorrow, and then I’ll be traipsing about the US and Canada for about two weeks to get the travel bug outta my system a big before school starts back up. But, that being said, I will be back on the blog regularly as of Sept 1. I know its been a while since Ive really been on my game, but I promise things will be better by then. However, more importantly….

Last week, Cam Meekins dropped his newest mixtape Dazed and Confused, to much anticipation. I’ve always been a big fan of Cam, and this tape definitely shows how he has progressed from an underground to more well produced, well rounded musician. Overall, Cam continues to grow as a lyricist and I also gotta give credit to his MC, who does him solid on the samples and background tracks. I think the future is bright for Mr. Meekins, but only time will tell. Until then, give his latest piece of work a good listen to. I definitely think you’ll be happy with what you hear (Download the whole mixtape via datpiff here).

Hoodie Allen – Leap Year

Sat, 30 Jul 2011 22:03:54 +0000

Once again, I gotta apologize for the lack of posts. Its been a busy two months and ive only recently had time to just sit down and keep you all updated… That being said, one of my absolute faves (and a fan favorite as well), Hoodie Allen, dropped his sophomore mixtape “Leap Year” just last week (download the whole thing here). To be frank, Hoodie absolutely kills the album and produces solid all around mixtape. His clever rhymes are complimented by some great MC work on the beats. Whether your a previous Hoodie fan or not, I think everyone should give this mixtape (or these songs in particular) a listen. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Hiatus

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:55:40 +0000

I know, I know… It has been awhile. And for that, I apologize dearly. Things have been real hectic and work has more or less taken over my life. That being said, Im done in a few weeks, at which point I will be back in action. The good news is that there has been a good amount of music released recently, so once I get back to blogging Ill be sure to get you back in the loop.

An update to come this weekend, so stay tuned.
