In tribute to Dom Mazzetti coming to Nashville tonight to rage I am posting a video of his that has perhaps his best quote of all. When describing bad hookups, Dom details how a girl goes from tipsy to wasted (on the walk from the living room to the bedroom). But to just kill it, [...]

Shoutout to my roomate who turned me onto this gem by Wax, a talented artist out of Maryland. Back in 2009, when this song came out, I was probably too busy jamming out to Lady Gaga’s, “Just Dance” (Kidding) or too busy celebrating the Yankee’s winning the World Series (not kidding) to give this song [...]

After not hearing it for a while, Slow Down came on shuffle while I was at work today, so I had to share it. “…but this ain’t a car, it’s your heart, and it’s hard to be fixed.” – Lupe As usual, Lupe’s verse is laced with clever metaphors, and he balances out Eva’s singing [...]

With all the new music that comes out daily, quality songs often go unheard or are quickly forgotten. “Don’t Look Down” was released in October as a part of Kanye’s G.O.O.D Fridays series, and in my opinion it was one of the best tracks of the series. Lupe, Kanye, and Big Sean each deliver strong [...]

You know how it goes: when a song that I haven’t heard in a while comes on shuffle, my first thought is to share it with all of you. Colin Munroe is an extremely talented-but-underrated singer/songwriter from Canada who never seems to disappoint when I hear him on a track. This smooth track was on [...]

This just came on shuffle, and I think it’s a must have for any iTunes collection. Johan Wedel, a producer from Sweden, mixed up some Vampire Weekend and Kid Cudi samples, resulting in an electro/indie rock/rap masterpiece that should be cherished by music lovers, no matter the genre. Preview: [Audio clip: view full post to [...]

March 15, 2011, Nathaniel Dwayne Hale or Nate Dogg, passed away. The hook hit maker contributed on over 40 chart singles, and was found on tracks with Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Ludacris. Nate will surely be missed in the hip-hop community- R.I.P. Preview: [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Nate Dogg [...]

This just came on shuffle, so you know the drill: Throwback post! It’s Over was my favorite track from John Legend’s 2008 album, Evolver, which has songs on it that still get played in my iTunes pretty often. Not only does Legend sing each verse with fervor, but you also have a Kanye verse that, [...]

Still one of my most listened to Drake songs to date, this just came on shuffle and quickly turned a random-music night into a So Far Gone night (the mixtape, of course). “The pressure’s on, Both hearts beat like a metronome, Both in sync like a Justin song, Feels so right, but it’s just so [...]
