Jammie

Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group (or as I like to call MyNeckMyBack Music Group) has become the next Young Money. Not only in the sense that they are signing pretty talented up and coming MC's but in the sense that they are signing everyone and their momma to the label. I'm actually signed to Maybach Music Group as a flute player, no joke. Anyways I am posting this video on because it has two of my favorite men on the track. DC Native, Mayback signee and sexay piece-o-chocolatey Wale and a hot red headed jewish dude who is like one of the whitest people on earth like borderline Rick Astley but he's still so cute, DA of Chester French, whom I love dearly. When I first heard this song I thought DA sounded so out of place on the track, but it grew on me. Thus leading to me posting this video. G'day.

Obsessions are healthy...and Frugal!

So one of my current obsessions are Chester French. When I pre-ordered their album Love the Future I ordered the "platinum package" for $19.99 (plus s+h) and with it you got the MP3 download of the album the day of release, a poster, 2 stickers, a t-shirt, AND a signed cd or vinyl if you choose. A while ago I got the poster first, not sure if I want to put it up yet cause im not moving out of the 'rents house anytime soon, but me putting up posters would put a finality to me staying there for a long time, and im not so, yeah. Anyways this is all the stuff I got (excluding the poster)

I love Chester French for the way they are promoting themselves, and making themselves available to their fans, its very cool!

Love the Future chickenheads!

So after listening to the album all week, I feel I can give a coherent and vague review of Chester French's Love the Future. So for some guys who were eagerly embraced by hip-hop giants such as Jermaine Dupri, Kanye, Pharrell and so on, this album is decidedly NOT hip-hop and that's fine. This album is 100% delicious pop with catchy hooks and vibrant songs. Other's have called it Beach Boys meets the Beastie Boys and other obligatory comparisons. From listening to the songs I do get a bit of the Beach Boy stuff as well as a resemblance to the Beatles. But unlike *cough Panic at the Disco cough* Chester French is not trying to be anyone but themselves. I could go through every song and try to describe it for you but 1)I'm a lazy blogger and 2) it's not something that can be told, only experienced. My favorite song on the album would be "Not Over You" its the jammie. I am also severely impressed by these guys' marketing ambition. They are signed to Startrak which is a label with an AMAZING line up of great artist (N*E*R*D, Kenna, the Clipse, Fam-lay, Robin Thicke etc.) they plain suck when it comes to promoting and thus supporting the artist when it comes to their releases. It seems that Chester French took it their own hands and hit up street wear boutiques throughout the country to perform acoustic sets and use like every social network out there to court their fans. Brava to them for that. So I would suggest you check out this album, it's going to be perfect for this upcoming season.

Obsession of the Week.

It seems like every week I am obsessed with something. Just a bit ago I was obsessed with Joell Ortiz, I still am but it went from like a 10 to 5. My obsession this week...

Chester French. As I think I have said before I have tried to write these kids off as just another one of those bands that you are supposed to think is cool ya know? But with the release of their mixtape Jacques Jams Vol 1:Endurance I decided to give them a try because they are on the Startrak roster. I was won over plain and simple, they converted me. Their album Love the Future is coming out next week April 21 and I will be purchasing it, in a record store, you those things, ummm, oh yeah CD's. So go to chesterfrench.com/mixtape and sign up for the FREE mixtape,as well as its VIP concierge service thingy, its some hot stuff.
