We showcased City Flow’s song, “On My Mind” a while back and a lot of people loved it so when I went back and listened to the rest of his tracks “Ricochet” was one I had to post even though I’m 7 months late. The smooth piano and beat tie in perfectly with Mark’s lyrics [...]
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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
A lot of Eminem tracks, new and unreleased, have been released over the past week, and, as I’m sure it did with a lot of fans, it got me to go on an Eminem-listening-spree. From his new album to his old freestyles, his new features to his unreleased tracks, I started listening to it all. [...]

Here’s a laid back track for this rainy Monday morning (at least it’s raining in NY). Released in 2005 by Silversun Pickups, this track has been in my iTunes rotation for a while. I’ve always loved the beat, and the dynamic vocals are great, too. If you give it a listen, I can almost guarantee [...]
