Drake: Girls Love Beyoncé ft. James Fauntleroy

April 26th, 2013 Comments Off

Yet again, Drake has thoroughly impressed me with his versatility and the replay value that he puts into the music he creates.  I know there are a lot of people who aren’t pleased with this track because Drake uses  Beyoncé’s chorus sample and lyrics.  However, I see this only as a slight drawback due to Fauntleroy’s [...]

Joey Bada$$: Hotbox

April 18th, 2013 Comments Off

The latest single from the young NYC emcee is a great addition to an already outstanding list of singles since his freshman album (1999).  As the title suggests, you may be able to picture yourself cruising in the whip doing questionable activities with your friends while bumping this track, which I’m thinking is exactly what [...]

Raz Simone: Sometimes I Don’t (ft. Sam Lachow)

March 25th, 2013 Comments Off

Another up-and-coming artist, Raz Simone hits us with a deep and thought provoking track with a ton of replay value.  Kicked off with a simple yet catchy guitar riff that turns into a collection of funky/jazz rhythms, “Sometimes I Don’t” is a great change from the typical electronic beats we hear coming from a lot [...]

Beyoncé: Bow Down / I Been On

March 22nd, 2013 Comments Off

Now THIS is a side of Beyoncé that we rarely see.  This track starts off with a dramatic chopped and screwed beat that has Bey calling out all the ladies who have tried to take her spot, and reminding them who the real Queen is.  To sum it all up, “Bow down b*tches”.  Then, seemingly [...]

Diplo: Boy Oh Boy

March 21st, 2013 Comments Off

As is expected from this top notch club artist, Diplo has hit us with another banger that will surely make every DJ’s playlist.  I’ll be honest, I was skeptical until about :30 seconds in, at which point I started dancing uncontrollably.  If you can listen to this without moving to the music, I commend you. [...]

The White Panda: Firefly

March 10th, 2013 Comments Off

The latest mashup from The White Panda is a great addition to their “Mashup Mondays” collection, and certainly worthy of a listen (or ten).  In this weeks track, the duo features samples from Ellie Goulding, Kendrick Lamar, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Lumineers, making for an addictive banger that will keep this track [...]

Drake: 5AM in Toronto

March 7th, 2013 Comments Off

When it comes to Drake, you either love him or you hate him.  This newest single, in my opinion, is a breath of fresh air for those who aren’t a big fan of his singing/rapping combination.  I’ll be honest with you, I straight up did not like Started From the Bottom.  I thought it was simple [...]

KYLE: Keep It Real

February 28th, 2013 Comments Off

Relatively new on the Hip Hop/Rap scene, KYLE is emerging as a truly promising artist.  Keep It Real, the latest single off of his upcoming studio debut, is absolutely one of the catchiest tracks I have heard in a long time.  Over chopped samples and a snare, KYLE takes us on a journey through his [...]

Frank Ocean: Eyes Like Sky

February 26th, 2013 Comments Off

An unreleased song from Ocean’s channel ORANGE sessions, “Eyes Like Sky” will restore your faith in Frank Ocean if it was ever in question.  Coming in with a guitar riff that will hook you immediately, Frank shows us a non-R&B side to his musical talent that we have seen very little of.  The song tells the story [...]

Stacy Barthe: P.S. I Love You (EP Review)

February 24th, 2013 Comments Off

Unbeknownst to me, this incredible talent has been hiding behind artists such as Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, and Britney Spears for years as a Grammy-nominated songwriter. However, within the past few years, Barthe has stepped out to release her own solo projects, and to say I’m already hooked would be an understatement. Stacy’s smooth [...]
