Fall Jams 2013





What's going on people?  It may be getting colder but the beats are still hot.  I apologize for the late blog I will be attempting to post more frequently.

With a plethora of highly anticipated albums dropping this summer the fall hasn't had much hype.  That's where I come in.  There are tons of jams that may have slipped under your radar and I will put you on game.

Show Me- Kid Ink ft. Chris Brown


This catchy love ballad will stay in your head all day.  Chris Brown makes the song with the fire of a hook.


Paranoid- Ty Dolla $ign ft. B.o.B


I don't know much about Ty Dolla $ign but I checked out his mix tape Beach House 2 and it's has some great songs.  This has to be the highlight of the project.  The song is about the struggles of being involved with two women at once.  The erie video is pretty entertaining with the women turning into evil monsters.

Hells Kitchen- J. Cole ft. Bas


Clearly the best song off DJ Khaled's new album Suffering from Success (which apparently is suffering from low sales).  J. Cole is great as expected and whoever Bas is does alright.

MIA- Travi$ Scott


You may have heard Travi$ Scott's hit Upper Echelon but I prefer this song.  Check out his mix tape Owl Pharaoh here.

3005- Childish Gambino


Sadly Donald Glover will not longer have a large role on Community hopefully that means more music from Childish Gambino.  This is a newly released song from his upcoming album Because of the Internet.  If it's anything like Camp I'll be happy.

The Motion- Drake


NWTS is amazing and may never leave my car's CD player.  I believe this song was only on the album if you purchased the deluxe version.  So if you haven't heard The Motion do yourself a favor and listen.  This song is classic Drake it is a perfect mix of singing and great lyrics.  Also the production is amazing.


I'll be looking to post more articles soon.  If you have any suggestions hit me up.  Have a great start to your winter, stay warm and have a blessed day.

The Rise of Future Hendrix

Image
About five years ago a friend told me to download the Pulto mixtape by Future. I was familiar with him from the couple of singles he had but had never listened to a full mixtape/album of his. The mixtape was filled with numerous autotuned filled ballads as well as high-energy bangers. I enjoyed the majority of the songs and something about Future's energy was extremely infectious. Fast forward to two years ago and Future solidified himself as one of my favorite rappers. In the span of less than a year Future released five projects: Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights/Dirty Sprite 2/What a Time to be Alive. The numerous hits and anthems that came were tremendous from March Madness to Thought It Was a Drought every hip hop fan knew every word. Fast forward to this week I was extremely excited to learn that Future would release two albums in one week. With little to no warning, Future dropped the self-titled album FUTURE. The album is high energy with catchy hooks and fast-paced beats

What's better I Need a Girl Part 1 or Part 2?

Image
In the year 2001 P Diddy released the two-part song I Need a Girl. Both songs have a clear distinct sound while being equally fire. Below I will do my best to articulate what separates the two parts of I Need a Girl and which is better. Part 1 P Diddy featuring Usher and Loon A slow pure r&b track with very little bass. Usher kills this song, he even sings over himself in the chorus. Part 2  P. Diddy featuring Loon, Ginuwine & Mario Winans For all you young kids out there this is what a true remix or part two looks like. Using the same theme/melody but flipping it to creating a new song. This part features more an of a hip hop vibe with verses and an r&B chorus. Who can forget Diddy's classic "take that, take that" What part of I Need a Girl is better? In my humble opinion, it has to be part 2. The combination of the bounce in the bass and melody drop will make anyone lose it. You also get what is most likely P Diddy's best l

Drake's Hidden Gems

Image
Aubrey Grahm aka Drizzy aka October's Very Own aka Drake is no doubt a superstar. He has transitioned from child actor to a rapper on Lil Wayne's Young Money label to an icon. His music has become anthems for months and he recently hosted SNL. With this level of popularity, it's hard to imagine his music being anything close to hidden but there are a lot of great songs from Drake you may have missed. I remember listening to Ransom feat. Lil Wayne in my 98 Jetta in 2008 as a Senior in high school via cassette adapter. I am going to try and introduced your or reintroduce you to some great Drake songs you may have glossed over or simply missed. Little Bit feat. Lykke Li Check out this chill love song featuring singer Lykke Li.  I'm Still Fly One of Drake's best early songs. Stuntin' feat Lil Wayne This is a song off of Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 when we didn't know much about Drake. Congratulations Drake does a verse over some Coldpa
