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.

Odd Cypher

Here is a recent Odd Future cypher while at famed photographer and famously creepy dude Terry Richardson;s studio. As usual Wolf Gang never disappoints when it comes to pure entertainment. Also they are embarking on a big tour this upcoming late summer/fall and their first stop is in Norfolk! I was going to buy tickets the day the went on sale last Friday but I had some other monetary priorities to tend too (being a grown up blows) hopefully I would be able to get those tickets next week. Betsta believe my old a$$ would be way up in the balcony. I've learned my lessons, I'm getting to old for that pit sh!t.

Crying

The first time I saw this video I hollered with Astonishment and Glee. I don't know if these kids are really dancing to Lil B but I know one thing that dude in the middle is KILLING IT! This is what the Wave in Norfolk looks like on Wednesday nights, but with glowsticks and strobe lights. What I love about these dudes is their stamina. When it looks like they're about to tire out and give up, the music of the BasedGod gives them strength to go on. This is just great.

Jammies

First off, hi. I know it has been a while since I last blogged, but you know the deal, two jobs, no energy, no blog-inspiration. However today I just wanted to share with you my current favorite songs. First we have Ms Azealia Banks. If you haven't heard of her well I will try to give a quick summary. She's a twenty-something rapper from Harlem, NY and she specializes in something that people have pegged "Vogue Rap". Now I am not a fan per say, I get what lane she is in and I respect it and I definitely respect her abilities as an MC/vocalist. So which brings me to the video at hand. This is "Liquorice" a song from her 1991 EP which is available for purchase now, and I LOOOOOVE this song. It is giving me 1990's house realness and I bought the song the other day and I play it 10 times in a row, it's that good. Second we have Miguel who came up in the last two years with the great album All I Want Is You, and this past year he has been releasing his "Art Dealer Chic" mixtapes (which is excellent by the way) this song which unfortunately does not have a video but it should! is called "Candles In the Sun, Blowing In the Wind" another song that I have played 10 times in a row. Miguel is an alternative R&B artist that I am really excited about and can't wait till his next full length effort comes out. PS you should download all 3 installments of this Art Dealer Chic project
