It’s not his drummer boy flow. Or his dark persona. It’s not the puns, pot, press or any of it. What Cudi brings is himself.
When you create something, you create it for yourself. You share it with the world and should expect nothing back.
Welcome to the manic depressive world of Scott Mescudi. Get caught up in his highs and lows. […]

When Atmosphere’s latest EP(‘s) dropped a few months back, I planned on posting two of my favorites (that weren’t pre-released), but decided to sit on ’em until the pre-releases’, To All My Friends & Freefallin’, hype died down.
A couple days ago Atmosphere’s team posted a video featuring “The Best Day” on Facebook, which was one of the songs I planned on posting, so I thought this would be a better time than any. The video comprises mostly of live shots from Atmosphere tours and other […]

Someone commented on my last Chiddy Bang post about how the two have been over mixing pop hits and throwing in Proto’s rhymes. I could see where he was coming from, but didn’t think much of it. But after hearing their remix to “Dancing With The DJ”, I was more inclined to speak up.
I fucking love remixes and I fucking love Chiddy Bang, but that doesn’t mean the two have to be inseparable. Xaphoon, we know you can remix some nasty shit, but y’all are hittin’ it big, so choose wisely on what you want your […]

The mp3 is crisp, but it ain’t got shit on Jenkee’s YouTube video.
Back in ’08, he threw up a live performance of “Stay Crunchy” on YouTube and has received roughly four million hits since. After taking a look at it, you see why it’s gotten so much hype. Jenkee plays a passionate piece with fervor in those finger tips. I mean look at the man, dude is in the zone!
Enjoy this beast.

Before I give a look at Cudi’s newly released album, I wanted to point out my favorite thing thus far – Mary J. Blige.
Not only does she accompany Cudi on two tracks, but the two bring out a more sophisticated side of his music. He may be known for his introspection, but it seems to be sprinkled with a little less keef for these two tracks, unlike the rest of the album.
Check ’em out and give some thoughts on how you think the duo stacks up.
“So much whiskey all in my liver. I really like the punch it delivers, makes me warm when I high five sinners.”

Remixes are startin to take over here. With all the musical resources I go through – Hypem/SoundCloud/etc – remixes and mashups are always toppin the charts.
Phaseone’s remix would be the most recent addition and it’s a damn fine one at that. I listened to the damn thing nearly a dozen times before I moved on to something else – I have a bad habit of listening to a song over and over until I kill it for everyone else.
Thanks to AK JIGGA for this one.

From The Beatles to Run DMC, these French fucks know how to mix up a rockin’ playlist. Just about every one of these RMX’s topped the original – yes, even The Beatles’s “Back in the USSR”.
Give my two favorite a listen and go to BEAT TORRENT’s bandcamp to check out the full LP. They’re also expected to release a new album by the end of November – I’m as giddy as a schoolgirl.

“We’re Here to Save the Day” was the first song dropped in my soundcloud dropbox by thehappysmokers a few months back.
I was a little skeptical about the chorus at first, the kids didn’t seem to fit the mood, but after hearing Elijah Jones’s vocals & Asher Roth’s MCing, I could’ve given a fuck. Both of ’em got the flow down, even with completely different styles. Roth, however, made the song for me with some superb MCing. Kinda reminds me of Emineminem(inem) without all the […]

I don’t know why, but recently I’ve been finding a good amount of music to make love to – maybe I’ll compile it all for y’all sometime.
The most recent of these baby makin’ songs is “Velocity of Love” by D-Pulse. What makes it so damn sensual is that brass vibration – it sure leaves the heart wondering. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to find more shit like this.
Enjoy with a loved one.

I dunno if Pretty Lights could ever top Filling Up the City Skies, but this sure is sneaking up on it.
Glowing in the Darkest Night brings on some newly crafted tunes by our favorite hip-hop/electronic fused producer, Derek Vincent Smith.
The one thing the album’s missing is something substantially new from Smith. This may be the best release of his this year, but I know he would do well at experimenting with new […]
