Can't Wait-Sunday@11:30pm adult swim

What Blu, really????

Ya, uh here's a track from his

upcoming LP "NoYork".

and honestly I just don't understand the song.

Ya so here, I'm not even going to try and explain

"NewMGNGrand"

Little Brother-Curtain Call Video

Sad Days for Hip Hop

I'm crying inside

Pac Div is Back

Pac Div is back with their new mixtape/Lp
entitled "Don't Mention it".
They definitely stepped up their rhymes, beats,
and even the features from Dom Kennedy,
Colin Munroe, and Marz Lovejoy.
Check it-

"Don't Mention It"

I understand Sene

The rapper who presented you with
"ADayLateandADollarShort" now
presents you with his new LP entitled
Reality Bites. This album is collection
of philosphy on why life sucks and why
you still need to keep striving for excellence-

"Reality Bites"

And check his new video "Workflow".

Check the message-

Through Carranceja’s a new-age twist on MTV Cribs meets VH1’s Pop-Up Video, the camera invites fans and supporters inside the crib of Brooklyn’s own Sene. Noisemaker Media presents a fresh way of perceiving the world, through capturing unique moments that exist briefly in reality, then disappear, never to be thought of again. From looking down at your feet in the shower, to a partially-eaten apple, you will never look at daily life activities the same again.

Cool Fridays

Yep, Fridays come and Fridays go,

But this Friday got music for your soul.

In todays installment of Cool Fridays I

first bring to you Blu's first single off of his

solo project NoYork which is set drop sometime in

June.

"BossCo.2"

Now I give you some old school hippy music.

G.Love and Special Sauce are two

alternative artist that have combined to make

an album with acoustic, blues, and hip hop

into one album.

"Yeah It's That Easy"

Sundays are for God and good Music-Discography Edition

Can you imagine an east coast version
of Blu(Godlee Barnes).
Well honestly there is no need because
there already is one.
Sene-

 

Sene is one of my favorite artist in the

game right now.

His old school feel, and smooth operator flow

makes him even more unique than

Blu.

The unfortunate thing about Sene is that 

he's been making albums since

'06 and still has no recognition.

No XXL review or nod from 

his fellow east coast rappers.

So I decided to give you his whole discography;

start to finish.

Check the Soul

 

"The Beautiful Ugly"

 

"Anywhere But Here"-Password-jericko

 

Sene and Chief-"Garbage Pail Kids"

"Maltus&Music"

 

Sene&Blu-"ADayLateandaDollarShort"

New reading material in the Tabloids

Actually its a video for Tab-One of
Kooley High. The video ft. Median and
the song is entitled "This Way" which is off
his full length LP "Tabloids".

Cool Fridays

 

Its Friday once again, and again I got some good

music that you can slow down and cruise to.

Ever since Wiz dropped KushxOrangeJuice,

I been in a vibed out kind of mood.

So I decided to do what I always do,

Listen to my man Bob Marley.

"Rastaman Vibration"

Now Y'all in for a treat, 

A few weeks ago Questlove of the Roots

decided to drop a instrumental album inspired by

J Dilla.

Last night Philly's own Dice Raw decides

to drop an album where he goes over Quest's instrumentals

which took him a week to write.

So check out this Good Music!!!!

 

"dice,dilla,preguntal"

Just Vibe out with me....

Khalifa Bonus

Since the world has gone crazy since the release of the smoking masterpiece Kush & OJ, The Academy has decided to give ya'll a nice little Wiz bonus.  This was his first mixtape that young Khalifa put out in his re-directed stoner persona called Star Power.  Def a classic mixtape like the rest of this projects.  Enjoy! (As I put "Still Blazin" back on repeat)

U-N-I - Desha Dayana (Video)

Oops!...There Goes Theophilus London

Haven't heard from Mr. London in awhile.  What better way to remind us all of how dope he is by re-making one of the most memorable one-hit wonders of 2002.

Lupe Fiasco Freestyles For 10 Min In New York (Video)

So at Fillmore, Lupe goes on this unearthly freestyle tangent for 10 min's straight and just murder's it! This is why Lupe will forever be my favorite artist.  Check when he starts explaining his freestyle as a hunt (6:53 mark). Crazy.

Sundays are for God and good music

Today I bring you something alternative.
Kissey Asplund is a Funkadelick
singer from New York City.

 

 She is associated with Sene the rapper out of New York.

She appears on alot of his albums and mixtapes.

Kissey's music is very unique.

If you could imagine jazz, r&b, and electronica all rolled

into one then you definitely would be listening to

Kissey.

Her beautiful voice is like birds in the morning.

And her style is sort of like Lykke Li.

Check out her debut album

"Plethora".

 

"Plethora"

Chiddy Bang is back

One of my favorite Pennsylvania groups
Chiddy Bang just dropped their minimixtape
entitled "Airswell". The minixtape is good
representation of what their music is all about
and it show's the producer's and rapper's great abilities.

 

"Air Swell"

And check out their last effort "The Swelly Express".

A Novel Of Her Youth

Meet Lykke Li.  A young singer from Sweden that has been making quite a name for herself.   Aside from the fact that she's absolutely gorgeous (I love white women), her soft and soulful voice is undeniably euphonious.  She has achieved much stardom with her debut album called Youth Novels.  I've been listening to her alot lately and wanted everyone else to experience the musical therapy that is Lykke Li.  Enjoy!
