Hip-Hop | Tiger Eye- The Explanation (Mixtape)
Posted by A on September 13, 2012
Malcolm Gladwell once posited: “We have, as human beings, a storytelling problem. We’re a bit too quick to come up with explanations for things we don’t really have an explanation for.” Watertown’s Tiger Eye, however, is far from having a storytelling problem, as he releases his highly anticipated “The Explanation” mixtape that features production from Skin & Bones, a local hopscotch champion and international man of mystery. When asked about how he would describe the mixtape, Tiger Eye explains it as “a compilation of the sounds Barry Manilow would make if Suge Knight dangled him out of a window on a hot summer’s eve.” Interpret that how you want, but Tiger Eye is an artist on the rise. Be sure to follow him as he continues on his journey via his social media links below.

Hip-Hop, Videos | RiFF RAFF – OBTUSE ANGLE
Posted by A on September 13, 2012
I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again, Jody Highroller is the best performance artist in the game right now. Never far from controversy, Riff Raff’s previous video was taken down “by the haters” because his video showed some “hot buttermilk tits.” Talk about nonsense. “Obtuse Angle” appears on Riff Raff’s “Rap Game Bon Jovi” album.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Tum Tum ft. Dorrough, B-Hamp, and Big Tuck- Yeah Doe

“40 bottles in the club I’m a wine-o. Ghost crome on the Chevy it’s a Rhino.” -Big Tuck
After teasing us for almost a month, Dallas legend Tum Tum releases the highly anticipated visuals for “Yeah Doe,” featuring Dorrough, B-Hamp, and Big Tuck that’s taken the Dallas radio waves by storm. Directed by YellaBrickRoad Productions, “Yeah Doe” stays true to Texas form, finding Tum Tum and friends in an environment similar to that of the Fort Worth stockyards.
It’s not all just ridin’ bulls and country western lady friends, as Tum Tum recruits long time DSR associate Big Tuck to join in the “Yeah Doe” festivities, giving Dallas a sense of unification that’s previous been missing. Tum and Big Tuck aren’t just collaborating on records, as the they recently announced announced they’ll be going on a tour coming this fall. Details coming soon. Yeah Doe!
Support “Yeah Doe on iTunes as Tum Tum continues to take over the radio!

Pop, RnB | Somo- My Life (Mixtape)
Posted by A on September 11, 2012
Just a few weeks ago, I travelled to Allen, Texas to get in the studio with Joseph Somo and Cody Tarpley. Somo and team allowed us to get an early preview of “My Life” in its final stages. We knew from the onset that this project would be something special. I’ve said it before and I’m going to say it again: This is easily one of the strongest debut mixtapes I’ve ever listened to from an up-and-coming artist in all my blog years. There are many that come close, but this one takes the cake. It should be apparent by now that Joseph Somo is the real deal. Download the mixtape below, it’ll be the best decision that you make all week.
Cover | Adam Jensen- Don’t You Worry Child
Posted by A on September 10, 2012
Just last week, we introduced you to Boston rock sensation Adam Jensen. This week, he’s back with another top-notch cover of Swedish House Mafia’s “Don’t You Worry Child” that’s the perfect video to unwind to. He’s not without help though, as Alex Knutsen is on guitar and Nick DiSpagna is on the bass. Keep an eye on Adam Jensen as he continues to make waves sizable in the blogosphere.

“Today is the day you said to me you’re through…” -Skillz
Just a matter of months ago, two-time Grammy award winning production duo Play-N-Skillz released their single, “Richest Man” featuring Pitbull and G4 Muzik artist Shelby Shaw. Perhaps one of their most infectious songs to date, “Richest Man” details the rise and fall of a tumultuous relationship that’s made notable waves across national radio. Building on their momentum, the Grammy boys recruit Dutch DJ Sydney Sampson to remix their single, serving as the first leak off their highly anticipated “Sunglasses + Advil” project coming soon. Be sure to support their “Richest Man” single on iTunes below.

Electro-House | Clinton Sparks ft. Mike Posner- IDKurName
Posted by A on September 5, 2012
After the success Clinton Spark’s “Ambiguous” featuring Mike Posner and Big Sean, the dynamic duo team up once again to release, “IDKUR Name,” an anthem all too familiar after a long night of raging. Posner’s silky-smooth, “I don’t know your name, you don’t remember mine do you?” combined with Clinton’s powerful production details the inevitable amalgam of awkwardness that often unfolds the next morning when waking up from last night’s party. Stock up on Vitamin Water and Plan B, the video is coming soon.
