VIDEO: Luke James – “I Want You”.
It just so happens that today of all days I decided to redeem my quarterly “Watch BET for 5 minutes” coupon and stumbled upon this guy. Luke James is from New Orleans and is signed to Def Jam–not unlike the man that opened me up to tolerating R&B music, Frank Ocean. Other than those two...
MIXTAPE: 3 Amigos – “THREE AMIGOS”.
I honestly don’t have a CLUE how I found out about this mixtape–though I think I had something to do with my Tumblr account. Anyway, the 3 Amigos are comprised of Chino Roc, LoLo, and Yantz that represent both their culture and their city with reckless abandon. A perfect blend of Chingo Bling and Travis...
VIDEO: Meek Demeo -”Albino”.
Holy shite is this an awesome song/video combination! I can’t lie, Meek Demeo is sounding kinda The Weekend-ish on this track but that doesn’t stop it from being one heck of a first introduction. If this is the kind of music that is coming out of Minneapolis, then consider me down with the City of...
The 11 Best Southern Mixtapes of 2011 You Never Heard Of.
I won’t pretend that I listened to a ton of new music last year but I will say that I’ve heard more than my fair share, what with more rappers sending me submission request than streetwear brands. A couple of days ago I created a list of brands I’m looking forward to see do well...
MIXTAPE: Larry Donnavon & Kid Wyze present “NoW”.
“Niggas Outta Winston” (from this point will be referenced as NoW) dropped a couple of weeks ago and I’ve finally given it a total listen. Bruh, talk about a mixtape that was slept on–consider me awaken though as this is one helluva project. In no way did I think it would suck, Larry is way...
MIXTAPE: LG – “Synth Sounds”.
LG is a young rapper out of New Orleans that my homie Courtney put me on to last year. Since then buddy’s name has been buzzing among those Down South that have their ears pointed towards that new, new. LG has dropped a new mixtape entitled “Synth Sounds” that’s even better than his first mixtape...
VIDEO: REi – “Superdome State of Mind”.
For the life of me, I don’t know WHY this dude hasn’t blown up yet. I mean, lyrically speaking there aren’t many people coming up in the game that spit better than him. Secondly, he’s DJ TOOMP‘s lil homie–yeah the dude that did beats for T.I. and Kanye West. Third, he has one of the...
VIDEO: Vinny Cha$e – “Boost The Sales”.
I absolutely LOVE stumbling across new music, especially that high quality ignorant shit. Vinny Cha$e‘s music is the kind that I would definitely characterize as such. So here is what I’ve been able to gather via a quick 5 minute Google Search: Vinny is from Harlem (I think), He hangs with Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em...
