Playlist: Fall Jams 2016

Here are the songs I'm listening to this fall. Let me know what you think and what are you jamming to?



Jeremih is one of the most slept on artists. He constantly puts out solid music with little response. Compared to artists like Frank Ocean who put out one album every 100 years and people assume it's classic before it's even released. Check out Jeremih's Late Nights in Europe Mixtape via the link above.


I heard this song while listening to OVO Sound Radio Episode 30. I don't know much about the artist but the song caught my ear.


This is the second time I've posted a song by Kamaiyah. With another great flow and an old school type beat this song is a jam.


Ty Dolla $ign has his own unquie style in how he creates melodies. This is my favorite song from his new album Campaign. 


The latest single from The Weeknd. This song feels more like the old Weeknd compared to his last album which I didn't really like. Imagine if we got a Weeknd/Daft Punk album...


The show Atlanta has quickly became my new favorite show. Since then I have gone back into my music library to see all of the Atlanta artists I used to listen to.  In the early 2000s when Atltana snap music/rap was really poppin'. This is one of my favorite beats from that time period and we even got a Childish Gambino version.


You may recognize this song from Travis Scott's new album. I believe this is the original version.


I heard this song on the new Minneapolis radio station 95.3.


A little disappointed with Fabolous' new mixtape Summertime Shootout 2. However it still provided a few nice songs including this one which features one of my new favorite rappers Lil Uzi Vert. Hopefully the Fabolous/Jadakiss mixtape Freddy vs Jason brings the heat.


2 Chainz + Drake = another hit

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

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
