On The Rise
Neon Hitch is a new sexy pop sensation that is going to be sweeping the dance clubs and radio stations very soon. She is currently working on her full debut album titled Beg, Borrow & Steal in the states and I personally can’t wait for it to drop. I am calling it right now that she is going to have at least 2 club bangers on the LP that get massive radio play. She already has quite a...

Everything is gonna be alright
So as of late I have come to a new place in my life where things are seemingly falling into place. I am beginning to surrounding myself with positive people and positive situations. I will forever live in this moment and never look forward into the future. Always appreciate what you surround yourself with and never wish it away. You never know what you will be missing until it is too late so...

The Heavy
These cat’s name says it all. This group comes to us out of the UK with a unique style for today’s time. Their technique is very soulful and James Brown-esque with numerous horns and light playful guitar licks. All in all this music is fun but also very real. Listening to the lyrics to How You Like Me Now?, off of their album titled The House That Dirt Built, explains the wanting and desire of a...
L U P E
Today is Thanksgiving and straight up, I am thankful for Lupe putting out his new mixtape, Enemy of the State: A Love Story, late last night. Honestly, I don’t really pay any mind to mixtapes normally but I hadn’t heard from Lupe in a long long time so I figured it was worth checking out. Needless to say, it is awesome. Lupe’s clean delivery can flow over an beat but the stuff he chose to put on...
Roslyn... Amazing.
Up with your turret Aren’t we just terrified? Shale, screen your worry from what you won’t ever find Don’t let it fool you Don’t let it fool you…down Down’s sitting round, folds in the gown Sea and the rock below Cocked to the undertow Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node Wings wouldn’t help you Wings wouldn’t help...
BlakRoc
So The Black Keys have hooked up with 11 huge hip-hop heads in 11 days making an album with 11 tracks. This has to be one of the coolest music collaborative projects I have ever heard of. It is similar to Ratatat’s Remix albums but more organic. There are some really cool jazz and post-rock licks on the hooks which, really emphasize the heavy hitting lineup they have on the album. If you...
Lady GaGa
She leaked everywhere! haha, okay so I got the new Lady GaGa joints strictly to see what all the hype was about. It’s supposed to release next Tuesday with 8 new never before heard songs and remixes of her previous album, The Fame. Me being the genius I am have provided you with an expedited version of the 8 new tracks that you have NOT heard yet. It’s a legit download so enjoy it....
JUST A BAND
Alright Y’all, Just A Band is coming right out of Africa with some Funk, House, Electro stuff that is HOT HOT HOT. I have been bumping this song for the past 3 days and I cannot get enough. It’s a little rave-y but just let it build. The message is awesome and very strong. It’s samplicious. EnjoY!
Copped the new John Mayer album. Thanks go out to Amanda!
Pretty Lights
Alright, y’all these guys are on the come up. If you dig hard hitting hip-hop and electronic beats, these are your guys. Coming straight from Colorado Pretty Lights utilize a unique and captivating instrument setups to get their audience’s attention. How could anyone go wrong with a live drum set, and turn tables. Basically the ultimate house party music.
Pretty Lights is also cool...
Hype Machine
Just felt like cluing you guys into something I do everyday. Music is a huge part of my life and I feel like if The Hype Machine wasn’t around I would have a rather difficult time finding new music for you all to enjoy, so my plea to you is this: Visit http://www.hypem.com and just give it a try. It’s great, tell your friends, family, co-workers, girl friend, boy friend, dog, cat,...

Vokab Kompany
Coming to you straight from San Diego, this 7 piece live band fuses Hip Hop, Soul, Indie, and Electronica into one. They have been lurking in the underground of San Diego for some time but they are on the come up with their new full length album titled The New Kong. You can download the album for $7 on their website and to be completely honest, this is the best $7 dollars I have spend in a...
Mayer Hawthorne
This guy is bringing back the soul. If you can appreciate great vocals and smooth jazzy instrumentals then this is your guy. All these songs on his A Strange Arrangement album can be sampled, chopped, and skewed to your liking if you are keen on DJ skills. Please give him a listen and purchase his album, it’s raw.

Thursday is the New Friday
Haha, so last night was ridiculous. Not like Asher Roth, College ridiculous, but better. Thursday is the new Friday, period. In respects to parties and overall atmosphere the weekend has a regular cycle:
Thursday - The new Friday. Thirsty Thursday, if you will.
Friday - Recovery mode and avoidance of anything scholarly, Then back partying that night. Ice Cube - Friday
Saturday - Recovery...
Yo, this shit is hottt. Fuck, Black Thought gets down in this.

Phantogram
Hailing from Australia, this band is definitely something worth listening to. I have heard them classified anywhere from Trip-Hop to Postmodern Rock. Frankly, this duo is fresh. They have a new take on music and I love it. They seem to mix Electronica seamlessly with the new “Indie Rock” that is coming up. The delicate voice mixed with interesting electronic licks are exactly what...
Old School Hip Hop
Recently I have been on this old school hip hop obsession. One day I popped De La Soul’s 3 Feet High and Rising in my hoopty and went for a joy ride. As I was listening to these guy’s vibe I was constantly asking myself “Where has the real hip-hop gone?” It’s not within T-Pain, not Gucci Mane, not the Degrassi star Drake. What happened to the live drum sets and samplistic style of old school REAL...
Surfer Blood
The Floridian band, Surfer Blood is probably one of my favorite bands at the moment. I would begin to describe them as a cross between surf and alternative. The Vox bring it all home for me with a sort of We Are Scientists vibe that is blended with echo and reverb. They are set to release their debut album, Astro Coast in January. Jump on the band wagon early, because no one likes to look like a...
Roslyn
Bon Iver did it again, this time on the Twilight Saga: New Moon’s soundtrack. Justin teamed up with St. Vincent which adds a whole new aspect to this track that makes this song one beautiful experience. If you dig Bon Iver, you will love this track. Also click the picture for the whole soundtrack download. You will at least find a few tracks on there that you dig, even if it may be embarrassing....
