Dear Korn...

...this is a great song!! I am fangirling so hard today!! I feel 16 again!! WEeeeeeee. This is Korn's new single "Never Never". They have a new album coming out in October The Paradigm Shift. I'm definitely looking forward to this one.

The Song For Your Weekend

So my former lover Mayer Hawthorne is coming out with a new album soon, which is very exciting. (there is so much good music coming out/out, its a bit overwhelming in the best way possible). The single that dropped a couple of days ago "Her Favorite Song" will no doubt be your favorite song guuurl, if your a bad mama jamma. So download this, drive around at 7 o'clock this evening with your windows down and thank Gawd you don't have to deal with work for at least a little while. P.S I told you we were lovers....at least for an hour...in my head.

Here are a few songs that I am into at the moment. Would you mind if I shared with you? Oh you DO mind? You have something else to do? HOW RUDE! Anyway here we go. Up first is Dr Dre's latest protege Kendrick Lamar. He's been bubbling for the past couple of years and his debut Aftermath album is supposed to be coming out later this year. This is his first official single "Swimming Pools (Drank)". Kendrick has an amazing way with words and storytelling. Almost every song I have heard from him has substance to it. It is in no way preachy, more like a case study. He is something that is well needed it today's (mainstream) hip hop. Up next Zebra(f-ing)Katz ft Njena Reddd Foxxx "Ima Read". This song is EVERYTHING!!! "Ima chop that b!tch, Ima slice that b!tch, Ima ice that b!tch" YASSS! The library is CLOSED Lastly, this song is my guilty pleasure song. If you have not heard of Kreayshawn well let me try to give you a short summary. Random white girl from Oakland who directs videos and "raps". She came to youtube fame last year for her song "Gucci Gucci" and from that one song she signed a rumored 1 million dollar record contract. Since then she has had a series of fails (starting 'beef' with Rick Ross, harshly criticized stage performances) and embarrassments (several dismal freestyle sessions) But girl still has an album to make and a contract to fulfill right? So I guess this is her ofiicial official first single "Go Hard". When I first saw this video I cringed. I mean lets face it, this chick can't rap for sh!t. Then something started happening, I started nodding my head. This song is friggin catchy I can't lie. Plus its an eye catching video, and she's a cute girl, that'll get you everywhere. So sit back, drop your inhibitions and actually enjoy this.

Current Obsession

Timeless Jammie

Carl Thomas for a second was that dude and this song is absolutely timeless. There are just so many good moments in this song. This is one of those songs that if you happen to hear it on the radio you sing it real loud with such conviction and jazz/ R&B hands. Yeah its that good.
But she still belooongs to someone else I WISH I WISH I NEEEEEVER MET HER at aaaalllll!!

Spitta Back At It

I love Curren$y, but being a Curren$y fan can be exhausting. I swear every week this kid is coming out with like complete albums. His work ethic is crazy, but although its so much quantity, its all quality. This is his new joint with Wale "What It Look Like" from his upcoming 450th album The Stoned Immaculate. I like the track, Wale provided a nice simple hook and also provides a verse. As always Curren$y is like butter on a track while Wale always seems to attack a track, Curren$y always melts into it becoming a part of the music. Anyways here's the video.

This is Santi's new single "Disperate Youth". Now THIS is the Santigold that I love. Her first single I was not a big fan of, but this right here is that jam. The countdown to her new album Master of My Make Believe is on, and I can hardly wait. Enjoy.

BONUS: Here is Santi and the making of her album cover. Sidenote: How hot does she look in that gold get up? Get it guuuurrrl


This song I stumbled upon while working at the radio station. I was making my rounds around the stations and I heard this pumping out the speakers at 96X. At first I thought it might be a new Weezer song, alas it was not. It was Jeff the Brotherhood and the song "Bummer". The song definitely gives me a Weezer feeling with a little bit of Grunge too, I would definitely be bumping this when the weather gets warmer (what am I talking the weather is already warm) Anyways I think I'm going to check out their album Champion.

Swag to the Max

M.I.A. has finally graced us with her presence. It seems that MIA has been popping up all of a sudden this week not only with this video but her feature on a new Madonna song (umm random). No complaints here. This is her "new" single which is actually a track from her VICKI LEEKZ mixtape that came out almost 2 years ago. I don't know anything about a new album yet but I'll keep you posted. Anyways this video is super swag to the max.

Jammie

You've prolly never heard of Jackie Chain, even if you never heard of him you have to give him credit for an incredibly catchy rap name. Anyways he is a half white half asian rapper from Alabama and a few years ago every body and their mama put their own 16 to his song "Rollin" and he is about to put out a project with Nick Catchdubs the co-founder of the hipster friendly boutique label Fools Gold. I don't know why I like this song, it's called "Molly" and he's looking for her, hard. But Molly is not a girl, its a thing. "Molly" is the nickname for MDMA which is the drug found in Ecstasy so I guess "Molly" is the purest form of Ecstasy...so wait, is it about a girl? Im so befuddled right now. I feel like I'm on Molly, I think I found her!

Jammie

If you don't already know, I luh me some Yelawolf. I've been a fan for a while now and Yeller finally unleashed has Shady Records debut Radioactive late last year (which is super dope by the way). Here is the second single from the album "Let's Roll" featuring one of the OG white boy rappers turned...country superstar? Kid Rock. I like how the video goes from Yelawolf's hometown in Alabama to the birthplace of Hip Hop more specifically the Bronx (woop! woop!) Enjoy.

Where Has This Song Been All My Life (This Year)!?

So I've been on this ASAP Rocky kick for a while and ASAP Rocky is not only his name, but the name of his crew, ASAP is a bunch of dudes which includes rappers, producers, visionaries homies, weed carriers etc. One of the dudes down with the crew is Miami rapper SpaceGhostPurrp. Number 1 he get's brownie points for naming himself after Space Ghost. Brownie points number 2 he gets for making this song I'm about to post. Sure this song came out way earlier this year but I'm quite Tardy for the Party when it come to certain things so I'm now just discovering this song. Just a warning I'm playing this all day on New Year's Eve to make up for lost time. This is simply poetry in motion. Since I don't like to use such vulgar language on this blog we'll just call this song "Please Perform Fellatio On a Black Male for 2011"

Guilty Pleasure

:sigh: Waka Flocka Flame. Earlier this year there was talks of him "quitting rap and working at Walmart or something." Some people may have applauded. I myself was a little hesitant to join in the jubilee cause let's face it, is there a Waka song you DONT like? Sure he can't rap worth a damn, but we need Flocka. If we didn't have Flocka we wouldnt have jams to get ignant to and we wouldnt have jammies like this. This is Waka's current single ft Drake and produced by VA's own Lex Luger. Round of applause make that ass clap. Pure poetry

Weakness.

Late 80s/early 90s R&B is my absolute weakness. It really gives me chills, makes me smile and takes me way back to my early early childhood. I don't mean to sound like such an "old head" but they realllllly don't make them like this anymore. Its those songs that if you happen to hear it your like "Ohhhhhh" and then you get this ugly face like. All of these individuals and groups were so original and they're Swag was a hundred thousand billion, beat that! But granted after a while some of the songs were reminiscent of each other, but at least they were all good. Here are a few of my favorites from that Era. Enjoy :)

Jammies

These are a couple of my current jammies. Up first is Machine Gun Kelly's first official music video for the song "Wild Boy" ft Waka Flocka Flame


Up next is a new project from the OFWGKTA camp. The Internet is the combo of sole lady of OF Syd the Kid, Matt Martians of the Super 3 and Left Brain of Mellowhype. This song is "Cocaine"

Jammie of the day

This right here is my new jammie. I first heard a snippet of it on DJ Troublemaker's Pantystep mixtape. Its a nice chill mixtape hey how about you download it! Anyways its super catchy and angsty, me likey. Here is Icona Pop with "Manners"

Jammie

Terius Nash has released a video to one on my personal faves on his current project 1977 (which I talked about in this post here)This is "Ghetto"

Ghetto Jammie

I don't know what it is about this song. This song makes me want to drink a 40 oz and sit on a porch and barbeque some chicken. Its so ghettolicious, its awesome. I remember when I was back in Radford and the only other person who knew about this song was my then roomate, mu phi sister and good friend Ashlee, just when I thought I couldn't love that woman more. So I'm dedicating this video to her. Miss ya gurl.

Best Jammie Ever?

Ok so I tried to hate on this song. But it's friggin catchy. I want to get really Schlitzed malt liqured and sing the chorus to this song really loud:sigh:

Download This!

I am usually not a fan of modern R&B. I feel like the singers don't really have great vocal ability and the concept of their songs are drab at best. In the past year R&B has taken a new twist with the emergence of artist like Frank Ocean, whom I'm a fan of. And the The Weeknd whom everyone makes a big deal over but is personally not my cup of tea. Then there's guys like The Dream. Although I have never heard a complete Dream album I'm always a fan of the singles that he releases as well as the countless songs he has written for other artists (um "Single Ladies" helloooo) Recently he released a free album under his given name Terius Nash titled "1977". His brand of R&B is less sweet, coy, and sensual and way more brash and vulgar. There are MANY expletives in every song. Mostly cause the dissolution of his short second marriage to "singer" Christina Milian that has been blog fodder this past year. All the tracks are dope the vocals go well over the tracks and all the songs are catch as hell. Download the album here. Here is a video to one of the standout tracks on the project "Long Gone"

New Deftones

Here is the new video for Deftones' "Beauty School" one of my favorite, favorite songs off their amazing album Diamond Eyes. Sure this is the obligatory tour footage video but Chino's in it, so that automatically makes it amazing. Oh and if you don't know I had the pleasure of seeing Deftones last september. Read about it here!
